wmms

THK Criminal Court, Judge Patter son, with a docket of over aix hundred and prospects of an eight weeks session, has been actively at work this week. No important cases have been put on trial.

WITH the additions to the corporate limits, new people coming in and the complications made by the working men and other causes, old campaigners are totally at a loss in predicting tho result of the city election. The counting of the ballots on Tuesday evening will bo the first indication of the result.

THE Republican Convention on Monday evening renominated the present city officers, except Assessor Paddock. The first ballot for Mayor stood: O. J. Smith 14 Alex. Thomas 10 C. E. Hosford 6 S. K. Allen 5. The third ballot resulted: Thomas 19 Smith 10. Treasurer Paddock, Clerk Schwlngrouber, Marshall Schmidt and Assessor Stepp were nominated, without opposition, by acclamation.

THK Worklngmen held a second meeting at the Court House, on Wednesday evening, and nominated Noyes White for Mayor, and a full set of Council men in each Ward. Thenames arc given elsewhere. Had such a ticket, or a citizen's ticket been brought out two woeks ago, it would have stood a fair chance of success. The ticket has been put in the field too late to result in anything more than nnnovancc to the two tickets already out.

THK city papers—The Mail among the rest—have had a good deal to say about Mayor Thomas failing to preserve order in his court, or, rather in giving lawyers too much license. In this respect Judge Scott can claim no advantage. Honors are easy. Not long since, in his Common Pleas Court, we remember a lawyer was put upon the witness stand. A brother lawyer asked him a question which ho answered by hurling an inkstand at his head. The wltuess lawyor apologised to the Court but had no apology for his fellow attorney. Tho latter also apolgiaed to the Judge, and said he did not expect an apology when kicked by a jackass and the Judge "with a smile, that was childlike and bland"' quietly remarked: "Oentlomen, if you are through we will go on with the case

SERIOUS CHAKOK.-The Express ot yesterday morning, copying from the Evansvllle Journal of March 27th, 18(30, shows that Noyes White, the candidate for Mayor on the Workiugiiion's ticket, was expelled from Newburg Lodge, I. O. O. F., lor embezzling the funds of the same. Knowing that the charge was coming, Mr. White lelt on the Southern train Thursday evening, as he said to obtain proofol his innocence. He had not returned, nor had he been heard from up to ton o'clock this morning. Wo understand he has been given until two o'clock this afternoon to satisfy a committee that the charge is not true. Failing in this, a meeting will bo held this evoning and another candidate putln the field. It is said that S. K. Allen, whose name was bofore tho Republican convenfton will probably bo put forward.

THK Amateurs in their presentation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" on Monday evening did themselvos credit. The performance was not only successful, but the receipts, some $439, wore highly satisfactory. Of course, with an amateur performance, honest criticism Is out of the question. All did the best they could, and expect the same meed of pralso. We might say that Morgan's Uncle Tom was good, but in some parts quicker enunciation would have improved It that his singing would have been better if ho hadn't been compelled to wander up and down the scale in search of the key: that Gordon's excellent "George Harris" was marred by rolling his eyes to the ceiling that Wharton's "St Clair" was easy and natural that Kelly, with a volco notat all adapted to "Phlneas Fletcher" and "Gumption Cute," did tho best he could with those parts that Clark's "Mr. Wilson" was very fair that Lamb as "Legroo" gave the best piece of acting that Barrlck's "Lawyer Marks" was a little too loose in tbo knee joints, but yet quite funny that Ballew's

Deacon Perry" was well acted but was somewhat overdressed, and rathor active for an old man that we didn't got in in timo to see much of GratTs "Haley" and Shilito's "Tom Loker," thatTraquair showed mobt excellent stage management, but kept his voice back of the footlights In "George Shelby that Graff showed remarkablo talent as "Skeggs, the auctioneer," notwithstanding his frantic efforts to koep his mustache in place that Mrs. Traquair's lively and excellent "Topsy" had a little too much of the "By (Jolly," but was given with the utmost abandon that Miss Eva Fischer's "Eliza Harris" and "Ca«syM were grandly acted and well rendered, barring a perceptible monotone, peculiar to school-girl declamation that

Aunt Ophelia" In the hands of Miss Luetta Hedges, was well costumed and one of the best personations in the oast that Mrs. Levan's "Mrs St Clair" was true to character that Miss Mary H©dg««' "Aunt Chioe" came out before we got in and that "Little Eva" so sweetly given by Alice Fischer, brought (ears to many eyes—we say we might say something of this sort, but then it would make some of them mad, while other* would say wo were no judge, so we drop the subject, hoping the amateurs will shortly «svor u« with another dramatic representation.

—On Monday next the Prairie CKy Steam Laundry willt* open and ready for business. 7*
