Swecial Correspondence of The Ty MILWAUREE, Dec. 11.—The present week has ‘been one of the liveliest ever witnessed in Mil- wankee. Foronce our people have cast aside the attributes incidental to o ¢ great, overzrown village™ "and assumed the aifs pecullar to 3 metropolis. The almosphere has been resonant Irom an edrly bour in the morning to a late honr in the night with the music of sleigh-bells; the lcading . thoroughfares have been llternlly thronged with vehicles, and the sidewalks with people. The snow and the pear approach of the holidavs have contributed jointly to this wel- come result. A year ago the unpaved streets were , covered kmee-deep with mud, while the roads leading into the couniry were simply im- passabie. Trade was at a complete standstill. Our mcretarts found no sale for their stocks of yoods, and bat little produce reached the mar- xet. Now farmers come in daily from points forty miles distant with their sleigks, disposc of the truck they bring, and return laden supplies. Trade has received an impetus that is really glaadening to the eyes and heart. Hard timessre forgotteu for the mo- 1ment, ang everybody seems rejoiced. And itis - well that_these things shonld be and do exist, for our merchants have suffered from the com- mon dullness as lone as patience and slender purse-strizes could bear the straiv. A visit to ‘many retsil establishments yesterday afternoon found them all erowded with purchasers, matoly of boliday-gifts. On all hands the writer re- ceived assursuces thot the trade promised to be nearly double that of & yesr ago. As a rule, - articles . of ornament, such as costly jewelry and trinkets, arc igmored, and less expensive yet far more usefal articles sub- stituted. Thus_the gifts will assume a much ander. mna and reach a far greater number of people. Still, where sue may remembered a l.unm-cd will be forzotten or neglected. Thbey should not pive, however, but take “Le wall for the deed.” The fact is that all people Go ot find themselves able to indulge in liber- ality, and must,thercfore, put off till to-morrow 1hat which they would gladly perform to-day, if they were able. Takeu all in all, though, the outlook, 2s preseoted by a visit .to aifferent business houses, is wnch hetter thanit wasa year ago, and a vear hemee may give evidence of still greatér improvement. The wheels of trade, like the intricate paris of a preat piece of machipery, requirc power o set them in motion, and the development of this wpower, once it hes bceu exhausted, requires fime aud pacient weiting. It looks now as if this power, for which a1l have waited so long, is nbout to be develored, and an era-of prosperity thereby. For the vresenl our erchants, at least, feel prosperoas. Let no _oae begrudge them the conceit. ; COBURCH TOPICS. Considerable interest is being manifested: by members of Si. Jobn’s. Cathedral Society (Catholic) concernfhg the proposed appoint- mens of a Coadjutor Bishop to assist Arch- pishop Henni in conducting the affairs of this jurisdiction. At a council of Bishops held in this clty some time since ithe step was decided upon, and three names were selected and for- warded o Rome for a choice to fill the position. 1t is undesstocd that one of the personages so reconzmended was Biskop Spaulding, of Peoria, 111, and acother Bishop, Heiss, of LaCrosse, Wis. The interest manifested by the mem- ‘ers of £t. Joha's Cathedral and other parishes grows out of a desire to securc an English- speaking Bishop, and 2’ younx man combining business capacity with sufficient enerzy to ‘place the Cathedral at th2 head of all of the Catholic societies of the State in point of num- bers and wealth,—a position that properly be- longs to, and with good manazement can be secured 1or, . Bishop Spauldine, of Peoria, is regarced here =5 the man who can accomplish 1his result; hence the anxiety to hear of his appointment. The choic: of Archbishop Henri is sup to be Bishop Heiss, of LaCrosse, who came to this State with him.when it was under a territorial form of Government, and has Jabored sboulder to shoulder with bim ever stnee 1o strengthen the erowth and influence of the Catholiz Church. Inasmuch as the matter happens 1o be one in which the members of the Chuich are scldom consulted. 1t is possible that their wishes may be disregarded to the extent of giviog the appointment to Bishop Heiss. At any rate, the Papal head at Rome will settle 1he questivn without reference to thz wishies of any ove outside of the Bishops who composed he august Council. ‘To-morrow the new Trinity Episcopal Mission _Chavel, on the South Side, is to be dedicated to "Dirine worship by Bisbop Welles. Trinity Mis- sion owes iis existence to dissatisfaction with the Bev. David Keene, Rector of St John's. -Although . vet . quite younc, it has grown strong in numbers, and promises erc long to outrank -old St."John's in every respect, not even except- jug'wealth. The establishment of the mission .has been productiveof much ill-feeling azainst Bishop Welles by the old apd long- ‘established . parishes of the city, whose wishes in such matters had previously been 1githfully consulted and complied with Dy the ‘predecessors of the Bishop. The mission ques- tiou bade fair to become a bone of contention in the recent Diocesan Convention, and would dave oceasioned much trouble but for the inter- position of same shrewd, keen-esed members, who stilled the troubleG waters by imparting the information that the establishment of the missiou did not trespass upon the original terri- vory oi St. John’s Parish, as its limits were em- brived by the Town of Lake when Tthe former parish was organized. The ruse succeeded, but did not quell the, anger of the Rev. D-.Kl.‘cue who crosses swords with the Bishop atu every opportunity. His latest attempt to do mischief is it the form of opposi- tion to the Cathedral scheme, and in this opposi- tiou hie Las culisted ttc Rev. Mr. Throop, of St. James’, and the Rev. Dr. Fuiton, of §t. Paul’s. ‘The memenc vart _taken n the quarrel, for such it is, no matter how clse the malcontents may desite to construe it, by the Rev. Fulton = creates . considerable” comment, jpgsmuch a5 he is ounly a recent comer to the city. An exnlnmu.xon of his atti- tude may be found in the sentiment of the pillars of old 8t. Panl’s Church, in which his mipistrations are conducted. The progress of this intestine war is watched with interest by the cleriry and members of other denomiua- tiops, who find themselves free from all such trials and tribulations because they are not tied down to parish lines, or compelled to submit to Rector dictatorship. To this extent they are cer- Zainly blessed. * During the prescat week a number of church 1airs, Testivals, and entertainments have been given, with a liberal va!.n)ut,a ‘The Mary and MMartha Society of St. John’s Cathedral have -conducted a fair at Bishop’s Hall, which opened on Tuesday evening, and will close, to-night. On the same eveniog Mrs. William Kendrick gave nfair and festival at her residence, No. 255 Greenbush street, for the benefit of the Trinity Episcopal Mission, which yicldea the snug sum- of $75._Not to be outdone, the ladies of St Johm’s Episcopal Parish rave a dancing party, on -the same evening also, at the resl +dence of -the Hop. Charles H. Larkin, B over ;street, and were rewarded by a large al “tendance and gencrous donations, the latier be- ing for the benefit of the Parish Association. Tue Heine quartet on Tuesday evening gave one of a serles of four musicales, gotten up un- der the auspices of the P. S. M. Society, in lhe parlors of the Grand Avenue Congregational Church, the procceds =oing into the church treasury. On the same cvening ao cntertain- ment t0 church friends was giverfat the Grand Avennuc Methodist Courchby the Young Peoplcs Literary- Society. Wednesday evening the young people of St. James' Church gave a lit- erary entertainment at the clurch chapel. ’l‘hm:dzy evening a :mmn{!hc entertain- ment was given e Templs Ewmauu-El Literary Soclcl.)'ynt Concordia B‘;H forthe beacfit of the Hebrew Relicf Associa- tion. The came evening a socisble and fair for he benefit of church work was given by the. ladies of Asbury 8. E. Church. Yet anotber- Lnlerx:lnmemcmt.henmc evening was 8 St Nicholas’ fair. given hv the ladies of Grand Ave- | Mil 3 MILWAUKEE. nue Methodist Episcopal Church. And yetan- : other, an apron fair and supper ot Summerfleld M. E. Church, given under the suspices of the ‘Women's “urkmtr Band. Yesterday afternoon and last evening the Willing Workers fmave a {air in the unrlurs of Plymoutin Church for the benefit of the poor. This Jist is large enough to e both tiresome and monotonous, but then all ood Christian people must expect to put up with more of the same thing beforc the winter is over. A VERITABLE BORE. The Washington-aveoue eight-foot sewer tun- nel now in process of construction, which is intcnded to drafn two thousand acres of low- land iz the northwestern portion of the city, promises to bzrome one of the most costly im- provements ever uudertaken by the city, not- withstanding the fact that the corntract for the first twenty-five hundred feet was let at the very Jow tigrure of eight doliars and seventy- -five cents per limeal - foot. The tumnel {s bewz drifted northward from the Menomonce Valley at a considerable depth beneath the sur- face; the maximum deoth reached being fifty feet. about midway between Graud avenue and Wells street. The work, after leavinz the starting poiat, is prosecuted by means of shalts sunk from the surface. In the first of these shafts the engineer’s lines proved to be wrong, and the tunacl for a considerable aistance was built two feet below the proper level before the This difference of two themn error became apparent. fect, -tlie . contractors claim, carried throngh 2 bed of solid = blue clay into a strata composed ot red and quick sand. Yhe. accumutation of water from percolations thrml"h this saud entailed an additional e: pense of $3,000, accordiar to their statement, that micht otherwise have been avoided. A claim for this amount has alremly been “filed against the Ly, But this is only the beginninz of the trouble in store for the city offivials and taxpayers. The presence of the bed of quick- gand in the first shaft compelled its abandon- meni. Thea a second shait was sunk with no - better success, aud had to be abandoned. Now a third shaft hes been sunk, between Grand avenue and Wells street, in which gangs of laborers are employed dritting north and south, and_putting in the masonry as they prfl"TL& Here again the quick and Ted sand encimny has been cumun\‘.crem and water -accu- mulates with such rapidity that it~ has to be blows out with 8 syphion worked by steam_day and night. To add to the disconifort and ex- peuse, the botwm has to be beld down, and the roof propped up foot by-foot, to prevent the oceurence of aceidents to those engaged in the - work. Nearly all of tho lumber used for bracing purposes must remain where it is placed. “Chis alone. entails 2 large addi- tional expense upon the contractors. while every foot of the tunnel completed costs them consid- erable more than th contract price. Now they set up the claim thai the contract figure was based upon a representation that the drift fer tie entire 2,500 feet would be througn a bed of firm blue .ciay,- such having ' been themm‘; whic of the test-boring .the specifications were . made. In- stead of the Dblue «clay, however, they find quick and red sand present, with their waters percolations. The blunder, it is claimed, 1nust be charged to the Unyk.m:incer’s and Pub- Tic Works Dcmrtmcuxs and thereforc the city will have iu pay round<y for the work over and dbove the contract figures. . It is ‘“‘make or break™ with the contractors, and,if their tales are to be believed, it will be break.” “They cannoi. drop the eontract in its present shape, becuuse then they could -mot reascnably ask and - expeet to get morc than the figure for which it was agreed by them the work sbould be done. They bretend to sce ruin staricg them fn the face if they go oo, but g0 ou they must, and rely upon, the courts for justice. Such is the gist of the talk oiven to ‘1. TRisUNE correspondent during a visit to the great bore a few nights since. The contractors for the work are Messrs. Kirkham & Turner, men posscssed of an abund- ance of enerey, but unfortunately backed by little Their ~ bondstilen are Messrs. Rooney and John 4. icmen who - have made the contracting business, and have plenty of it leit. Besiaes, they are cuc- ning, ‘shrewd, calealating men, who will not be be.\!en by the' city if there is any help for it. In the present instance there is reason to believe that the complaiuts made are ouly too well founded, althouzh no dotbt consideranly exasgerated. That the origina! contractors have struck a snag is becoming daily more apnarent through the amoun: of time aud attention Messrs. Rooney & Crilley devote to the.werk. 15 cortainly be- oing to look as if the city will be called upor to pay $40,000 instead of $20,000 for the first half of this xmprovement. sult upon mouey in SPORTING MATTERS. ‘Winter has brought. the Kinnickinnick Gan Club to the surface once more. The organiza- tion numbers tweniy-one or twenty-two mem- bers, at least half a dozen of whom rank among the best shots in the West. Doves and elass balls afford sn abundance.of practice and sport for the meetincs, the first of which took place on Thursday afternoon. Last winter the mect- ings were held just outside of the National Mititary Asylum inclosure. The present win- ter they will take place at the South Side Driv- ing Park. The Milwaukee Riflc Club has become a per- manent aund substantial iostitution of the city. The practicing members now number tweive, and the quiescent members: three times as “masy: more. The 1,000-yard range has been” abandoned temporarily, iz order thata higher state of perfection may be obtained over a 200-yard rapge. fu recent coutests the members have found themselves rather un- skilliul at yards; hence the change of practice. Recently the Dearborn Rifle Club forwarded a challenge for a tri [ skill at 200 yards. The Milwaukeeans felt disinclined to acrépt, yet hated to back out, and there- fore intinated a willingness to’meet the Deur- borns at 1,030 yards. The latter replied that it was their misfortune not to possess a range of that length, and repeated the challenge fora trial of skill at 200. Wletner the challeoze was declined, cr is merely being held in abevaoce, Tnr TRIBUNZ correspondent_has not lcarned but, from the fact that the Milwaukeeans are devoting particular attention tc the shori-range target, be infers that the latier expedient has been resorted to for the purposc of acquirineg proficiency before accepting. Our curlers are getting ready for an active season of sporl. Last winter the ice at no time was sufficicntly strong or keen for prolonged practice, and wnscqusxmy no meectings with outside clubs were had. ~ Now, however, the weather is such as_to preclude the possibxlity of disappointment. Therefore practice has already begun in carncst, and contests with Portage Cilv, Poynette, Chicago, and perhaps Detroit and Buflalo, may be looked for. It has beca decided to send a rink to Toronto to play for the gold medat at the internatioual contest, which mkas place this winter in Torounto either during the last week in January or first week of Feb- ruary. The Club is strongein numbers, and possesses maay flrst-class curlers. A home game s to be played on Christnas-Day. Base-ball is deadin Milwaukec; that is, pro- fessional base-bull. The League sat-down on Manaeer Rogers so effectually that there is neitber wind nor sand left in him. An astempt has been made witbin the past week to reor- ganize the defunct Club upon a new basis, with 2 view of gainivg admission to the League at the spring meeting, but lovers of the sport fn Mitwaukee became so thoroushly dis- gusted with the management of the prolessional nine last year that they do not care to foster the project to put another tcam io the fiedd. Manacer Rogers gave out before the meeting called for the pnrpose that he did not wisn tobe in any way prominently conuected with “any new orzanization. that might be formed, but a lurking fear that he mignt con- nect himself with it deterred any special effort to reach the result aimed at. II°Mr. Rogers in calling the mectiog merely wished to step down und out as gracefuliy 1s possible, he suceeeded 2dmirably in the design; but if he really toped for another npnommm- to put himself in con- tact with League managers of other citles, hit ambition has been foiled. The demise of professional base-ballism in Milwaukee will prove a blessing in dw‘i‘lfl* v the families of many young men. as well as to the youne themselves. With the absence of a lgcal'::r;;::fl zatlon, the desire to visit the pool-rooms for the purpose of gambling on the chances of the games olsyed will die out, and the familics of many youns men will be spared the mortifica- tion and shame of seeing them become confirmn- ed gamblers. The observing visitors to the pool-room on Broadway last scason could mot fml to mote this tendency zumble, particularly among mere boys. who werec pranted admission with the rest. They talked “combinations” as glibly nnd’ls intellizently as the veteran bear or bull on ’Change talks “longzs™ and “shorts” and “puts™ and *calls” on Hniu. Aud, what was warse still, these youths unhesitatingly backed thelr opinions by ‘buying combinations a aceording to the bent of their minds. Many hard-carned salaries of weeks and even months were squan- dered in this way without rea“zlng the slightest return to the young hopefuls making invest- ments. It is well, perbaps, that such was the result, as the winter's fest. wiil enable them to comprehend the folly of - their action and catch a glimpse of tne gul{ that yawned before them. wankec has several very creditable amateur b:be-b:fll orgenizations that will afford all the amusement of tais kind which the people really- |- uire. l-‘;l.twcrs of fast lorses are enjoying a larze amount of amusement on Grand avenue during the continuauce_of the present fine sleieking. The broad and beautiful thoroughfare is thronged- from moruing. till nizht. and many trials of speed take place, To timia spectators ‘the scene of balf o dozen fast horses dashing recilessly past others that arc being driven slowly, and past each other too, at grazing dis- tauce, is very trying to the merves. Yet few m:uuems of serious import occur, aud the sport continues wmmut cheek. SOCIETY MELANGE. Fhe present week has not been productive of much material for the socicty department. The barrenness is attributable pnumrlly 10 the near approach of the holiday season, and secondarily {0 the excellent sleiehing. The principal events of the week are noted herewith: On Monday evening Mrs. L. F. Hodges gave an elegant reception at her residence on Ninth street, in especial honor of Miss Gertie Robin- son, of Fairbault, Mwn., and Miss Grace Hodges, of Chicago, who were temporarily so- journing with her. Thirty-five couples honored the occasion with their presence. Conroy, the popular caterer, prepared the good things of the evening, On Monday ecvening, also, the Myrile Club gave the opening dxmnlng party of a series at Bon Accord Hall. On Wednesday evening Mrs. Gen. John Craw- ford celebrated her 92d birtbday at her resi- dence in Wauwatosa. A large number of friends from the city were present to tender their congratulations. ‘The third party of the vresent winter series by the **Jolly Four ” Daneciog Club was given on Thursday evening at \luroxmlimu Hall. ‘Miss Lou Smith entertained a select company |- of young ladies at lunch at her residence on Marshall street Tuasday afternoon, Last evening Excelsior Lodge, No. 175, Free ana Accepted Masous, gave the first of a series of sociables at their hall on Reed street.

On Tuesday Mr. Nelson Grahm, of the Storm- Signat Station at Menomonee. Mich., was united in matrimony to Miss Nettic Tnompson, daugh- ter of Capt. Thompson, of the schiooner Wal- halla, ot the residence of the bride’s parents on Clinton street. The wedding was a quies oue. The young couple procecded ab once to a com- fortable home at Menomonee. The marrfaze of Miss Lilta Bates and Mr. Frank Sanborn took ovlace on Wednesday at noon, according to previous announcement in Tue'TriBuNe. The Rev. Mr.Rose tied the nuptial not. The young couple have pone to Kunsas, with the intenfion of making that State thewr future home. On Thursday afternoon Miss Mary 0 Connor, daughter ot Detective Jere O'Conuar, of the Police Force, wus uvited in atrimony to Mr. William Holbert, of last year's- Milwaukee League base-bal! nine, The ceremony was per- formed at St. Gall's Church by the Rev. Father Lalumiere. To-morrow Miss - Clara Pick, a well-known teacher in the public schuols, will be united in mariage to Mr. Edward Fischer, a_popular youngz business man of the city, who has long bien fo the emplov of H.

This will convey to the reader a faint idea of the prospective granieur of the aflair. Tt is said to be no longer 2 matter of secrecy that Miss Belle Mitclicll, a nicce of the Hon. Alexander Mitchell, at present residing among us, is engaged to a wealthy young nauve of Scotland. at present perfecting himself in the study of Jaw ou bis ative heath.
