CITY IN BRIEF.

The railroads are bringing in new corn from Illinois in considerable quantities.

Division No. 3, U. R. K. of P., will hold a reception at Castle Hall on the evening of the 20th inst.

Mr. Kirmes will move his grocery stock into his new building, on Seventh street, north of .Spruce, next week.

The new constitution and by-laws recently adopted by tho Mtcnnerchor will shortly be printed in pamphlet form.

George Reiss badly cut the back of one of his hands, yesterday, while using a saw. lie will not try his hand at that attain.

The elevator received six car loads of corn yesterday from the I. & St. L. Its destination is. the south. It will be shelled here before shipment.

It is said that Messrs. John Bropliy and Jerry Burke are prac ticing for a friendly sparring match, to occur betweon them some time this month.

Mrs. Tucker will next week occupy with a stock of fancy goods the new two-story frome building on the west side of Seventh street, north of Spruce.

Mr. Carter, of the Buffalo shoe store, states that his advertisement in the Express for a salesman, promptly brought to his establishment forty-one applicants.

On next Thursday evening a kinder garten entertainment will be given at the Baptist chapel, on Cherry street, between Fifth and Sixth. The entertainment will comprise reading by Miss Victoria Y. Dowdall, and singing by the Davis family and Miss Mar McEwan.

Perhaps the most brilliant terpsi chorian event of the season was tho reception and ball given by Prof Duenweg and pupils last evening at Dowling hall. The attendance was large and solect. The Kinggold orchestra dispensed its excellent music, and this, with the commendable management of the affair, made it an occasion of unusual enjoyment. The programme of dances consisted of seven numbers for pupils and eight for visitors. Dancing was not continued after midnight. The event will be remembered with pleasure by those who attonded, and tne success'which accompanied it is very creditable to Prof. Duenweg.

A railroader complained to the Gazette that his children attendingschoolwere not allowed by the teacher to bring their dinners with them, and before he would let them walk through the cold the long distance between his house and the school building, he was keeping them at home. The Gazette questioned Mr. AViley in regard to the matter, and he said there was no such regulation, and that only children living short distance from school were compelled to go homes for their .meals at noon. That if any pupils who reside long distances from school are not allowed to bring their dinners with them, it is because the teacher is misinformed as to where they live, and that if such is the case the error will at once be corrected.

A Bad Fall.

Jas. R. Gaston, ono of the circuit court jurors for the present term, fell down the steps leading to the court house cellar, yesterday morning, and was considerably hnrt. He was bruised about tho head and shoulders, and it was feared for a time that one of his shoulders was dislocated. He was carried into the clerk's office, and res toratives applied, after which he was removed to his hoineon East Chestnut street. Mr. Gaston met with a severe fall last winter, and was confined to his house forseveral months,and from his extreme old age, fears are entertained of a recurrence of this misfortune.

Carney Acquitted.

Hon. John E. Lamb returned yesterday from Newton, 111., where he appeared as counsel for Jas. Carney, formerly of this city, on trial for the murder of George Holliday. The killing took place at Efiingham 111., last spring and the rase was transferred tp Newton on a change of venue. The jury was out eleven hours, and returned*!! verdict of not utility. Carney is a brother-in-law of John Rusk, the barber. and is himself a barber.

A Fire at Twelre O'clock Yesterday, at Stack's Saloon and Boarding Hons*. f-

A Fire Engine Team laMfw la a Runaway—A Yonng Fir* Hipped la the'Bad.

About 12 o'clock yesterday, P^ W. Stack, who keeps a saloon and boarding house, on Chestnnt street, between Ninth and Tenth, while in the Becond story noticed a small quantity of smoke issuing from the wall which separates the bar-room from the apartments in the eastern portion of the building. He told some one to send in an alarm, and lost no time in making a hole in the wall from which the smoke was coming, and discovered flames. The fire department was prompt in arriving, and the fire was soon put out. Nearly the entire damage which resulted was owing to the water, which of coursc could not be helped. The ceilings of the rooms, instead of being papered, had been decorated with oil

ainting, and the damage to them will the greatest source of loss, should the water with which they were deluged cause the plastering to fall. Some furniture, and considerable wearing apparel, were nearly ruined. The rooms on the west side of the hall were not so greatly damaged. The walls of the hall are al90 decorated with painting. The building is owned by Mr. Stack. He is not yet able to state accurately the extent of the damage, and does not remember the amount of insurance.

Fire Engine Team Rons Aw ay.

The team attached to the fire engine, standing in front of tho hotel, became frightened at something, and ran in a northeasterly direction, passing between the union depot and the depot drug store. Scott Gray, who drives a team for Gift & Williams, held the reins until his feet Blipped from under him. Tho team continued its wild flight, and when it was near the office of the Vandalia superintendent of motive power, turned quickly to the northwest, and made rapid time across the prairie. A colored man caught the bits, but seeing that there was a irospect of a collision between his tead and the fence, dropped them Near Dreusicke's a man threw an overt oat over the horses' heads, and they came to a halt.

Gray's head and back were stmck by the wheels and his escape from be ing killed was wondered at.

The engine was not damaged. Young Fire Nipped In the Bnd. Mr. S. £. Armstrong was ascending the stairway of Havens & Geddes^ wholesale store, on his way to the upper stories to see a man from the country with whom he had business, when he noticed thatsome goods placed along the wall were on fire. They had been piled against a flue hole closed with a thimble, over which was wall paper. He gave alarm down the elevator, and the lire was soon extinguished. There was slight damage to the goods. The flue is not nsed by Messrs. Havens & Geddes, and the flames originated from its use by persons the next door east.
