A Complimentary Euehrs PARTY.

Among the delightful social events
of the week none surpassed in pleas
ure the complimentary euchre party
rendered Miss Louchein, of Little

joyous and happy, and no notice

Miss Strauss the lone had prize.
Those present were: Miss Louchein,

May Hudson, Lizzie Grace, Minnie
York, Emma White, Kate Owens,

A most elaborate lunch was served
in courses, aud the floral decorations
were of the most artistic arrange
ment, red and green predominating.
Carnations and smilax being the
flowers, while red candelabra shed
their glow in the darkened dining
room. At the end of the game Of
enchre Miss Julia White was declared

THE BIRDS HAD FLOWN.
Four Prisoners Make Their Escape
from the Old City
Prison.

At a late hour last night the police
arrested four negro men for slight
misdemeanors and on account of the
lateness of the hour, confined them
in the old city prison on Pine street,
instead of in the county jail, as is
now the custom.
This morning when the officer
whose duty 1t is to bring prisoners
into the court went for them he
found that they had made their es-
cape. The men had tied blankets
together, crawled through window
in the cells of the second floor, and
by means of the blanket-rope, had
reached the ground
The old prison was evidently too
cold for its inmates aud they took
the first opportunity thai presented
itself to find more comfortable quar-.

The Spelling Bee.

The Spelling Bee given at Merrill
Institute Friday night under the aus
pieces of the Ladies Aid Society OF the
Baptist Church, afforded as much
amusement for those who attended
it as an ordinary box of monkeys.
There was a large audience present
and all enjoyed it hugely. Judge w.
d. Jones and Mr.. j. W. Adams were
selected as captains, and each selected
alterna tely ten assistants. Mr.. A. b.
Grace acted aa teacher At the be-
ginning of the contest the Adams
side went down rapidly under the
severe fire of Col. A. B. Grace, aided
and abetted by an old fashioned
blue-back speller. Mrs. j A. Coles
was the first to fall out Of the ranks,
and she was soon followed by her
captain who was knocked out on
"sylph." After a few more rounds
the gallant captain on the other side,
Judge j ones, was forced TO relinquish
his place at the head of his class on
millinery" he being a little too
economical with his 'ls'-superin-
duced no doubt by an anxious desire
to get rid at the earliest possible
moment of a word so suggestive OF
spring bonnets. etc, with probably
sad recollection oil last Falls bills
yet unpaid. In the course of half
hour the contest narrowed down to
Mrs. E. jamie Ryland and Miss Lizzie
Grace on the Jones side and Miss
Julia Fall and Mrs. r. H. Stearns on
the Adams side. Mrs. Ryland soon
went ont gratuitously on "gratui-
tous,' and Miss Lizzie Grace, realiz-
ing her lonesomeness, decided to join
the remainder OF her side by leaving
out an 'f'' in ''offset." This left
Miss Fall and Mrs. Stearns the final
contestants, aud for nearly half
hour each spelled with readiness and
rapidity such words as were pro
pounded to her by the urbane and
erudite teacher, but finally Mrs.
StearnS lett out an II IN titllate,
and she, too, joined the "great ma
