Barens residence property on Forest street, and has moved into same. The price paid was $1,300, all cash. The deal was negotiated by U. M. Baughman. Jack Stanley who occupied the property, has moved into Mrs. Randle’s property across the street in the next block west. The S. B. Moffitt dredge, being operated by Gundrum and Taylor, the contractors on the Moffitt ditch north of Fair Oaks, was burned to the water Monday evening, and totally destroyed. Loss is estimated at $4,000, and no insurance. Fire is supposed to have started from hot cinders. The dredge was owned by Moffitt, the original contractor, and only about | mile yet remained to be cut on that section of the ditch. A new dredge will have to be built to finish the work.

The Lake County Times, the republican organ of the city of Hammond, says the efforts of the Chicago ministers to induce Mayor Busse, the newly elected republican mayor of the Windy City to close the saloons on Sunday are likely to stand a poorer show than under Mayor Dunne, the retiring democratic mayor, Busse, says the Times, was elected by the saloon vote, and the platform on which be was elected contained a “personal liberty” plank; that personal liberty in Chicago comprehends the open Sunday. Michael Kenna, the notorious first ward aiderman and saloon keeper, is reported to have himself thrown 3,000 democratic votes to Busse, and the latter’s biggest gains were in the ssiloon wards.
