Over a hundred couples in costume were there, and the union netted about $100, This evening there will be a meeting ia Spiritual hall for a free discussion of scientific subjects.

Deputy Sheriff Clattenbuck was on Christmas ewening presented Ly his friends with an elegant French clock, the affair taking place at the Creston house.

The cstablish- ment is soon to be enlarged and various improvements made to correspond with the bountiful supply of water. It is suggested that some absent- minded alderman may in council meet- ing some night, as he leans over his new desk, covered with green baize, and with the star ornaments, pull a dollar out of his pocket and bet un the star, The Rescue boys, just to try the thing, put a section of hose on the Bryant street hydrant, and, although the fire pressure was not on, a good stream was thrown up to the top of the tower of the engine house. When the whole force is on it will be just fun to play on a fire. Of the six new aldermanic desks pro- vided for the council chamber, three are covered with green and three with car- dinal, As three new aldermen are elected yearly, the other three holding over, itis probable that the new alder- men will be given the green desks, the color being suggestive. J. A. Spaulding, in extending ‘‘Merry Christmas” greetings to those to whose doors and desks he brings the mail daily, left with them his card, a very neat souv- e, with his name and holiday greetings, mE:ther with a very conveniant time tabe of the various trains running into Council Blufls, The board of trade has passed resolv- tions urging the eity council to proceed to pave Main stroet, Broadway and Oak- land avenue, Resolutions are good, but actual work is better.

John Templeton and Miss Anna Allison served as attendants, and the other witnesses of the happy union consisted only of attaches of The Globe offige, and a fow intimate friends. The aflalr was wici,cut any attempt at osten- tation, or display hezainge, but there was no less real joy, ard ne less heartiness and honesty in the con, rutulnciomi:nd expressions of well- wishes, of which the young people are the recipients, Some vmxl beautiful gifts were bestowed upon them by the proprietors of the paper, and also by em- loyees, consisting nuinly of silverwarg, r, Whittlesey is a young man of more than ordinary newspaper abiiity, is brim- ful of enterprise, and is qot only appre- ciated by his employers, but among the o_thar newspapez men, and in his %u-ge circle of friends and acquaintances he is company.

Palmer, New Opera House, TO BAIL OI; NOT TO BAIL. That is the Question in the Dr, Oross Case. Most of yesterday in the district court was saken up with thejarguments in the case of Dr, Cross, charged der of Dr. McKune. District Attorney Cennor, Col. Sapp, Col. Darley and N, M. Pusey appeared for the prosecution, while John N. Baldwin stood single- for the prisoner. The matter came up on a motion of Mr. Baldwin that the defendant be admitted The argument of this motion brought in ith the mur- handed to bail a pretty thorough review of the evidence taken before the grand jury., There was im support of the motion an aflidavit of Dr. Cross narrating in the main the details of the meeting, the scufile and the fatal shot, his statement being about the same as that narrated by him to the newspaper men, soon after his first arrest. Accord- ing to his statement Dr. McKune over- took him and struck him in the back of the head, aud that it was mot until after he had been felled to the ground, that, blinded by the blow, he pulled his re- volver in self-defense, and that when Dr. McKune came to him again, and grabbed him by the throat and tried to wrest the revolver from him, that the shot was fired. The theory of self-defense was presented by Mr. Baldwin, who insisted that as there was no probability and scarcely a_posibility of Dr. Cross being convicted of murder in the first degree, that he should be admitted to bail. In regard to the threats testified to as having been made by Dr. Cross, the latter in his afiidavit denied making them, and the intimation was given that when on trial the conversations were drawn out in full with surrounding cir- cumstances, the matter would appear in an entirely different light, but even ad- mitting they had been made, Mr. Bald- win argued that the testimony did not show that they were carried out as made. The threats were alleged to have been made long ago, and if Dr. Oross had amy intention of killing Dr. McKune he had many and better opportunities before that fatal night, and that he did not improve such epportuni- ties indicated that he had no intention of doing so. The arguments of the prosecution against admitting Dr. Cross to bail were full and strong. The testimony was re- viewed showing that threat after threat had been made through the course of years, to the effect that he would shoot Dr. McKune the €irst time that he crossed his path, and that by getting Dr. Me- Kune into a quarrel he would get clear on the ground of self-defense. It was argued that threats thus made, followed by the carrying out of the threats, even to set- ting up self defense on the trial, could not but show that Dr. Cross had been meditating long on the deed, and it was, therefcre, murder in the first degree, and therefore, not bailable. In Dr. Cross’ aflidavit it was set up that the man, Lennox, was a material witness, and that his whereabouts were unknown. The defense expected to prove by him that he saw Dr. McKune catch up with Dr, Cross,who was walking ahead of him, and strike Dr. Cross first. Theattorneys for the prosecution claimed, on the other hand, that even if the defense could get Lennox, and he would swear that Dr. McKune ottacked Dr. Oross, it would do the de- fense no good, as Lennox right after the shooting told County Attorney Hight, J. W. Peregoy, and Chief Templeton, of the fire department, that he saw Dr. Cross strike Dr. McKune first, and that Lennox would be impeached and contra- dicted. Judge Reed took the papers in the case to look over, and will probably give a decision to-morrow. ———— It is the exception rather than the rule that promises in reference to the delive: of jol grinting are kept.

A colored fellow named Dave Brown colebrated his Christmas ina peculiar manner, After enjoying himself the first part of the day in getting drunk and fighting, he spent the other part of the day in the calaboose. He had been there hefore, and knowing that generally a way of eacape was open by dropping through. ®hole in the floor down into the vollar, and then out the bagement dorr, he tried it. Uxgortunately for hin, a water pipe aad burst, caustiy the cellar to be tlooded wich about two feet of water, which ko knew not of, but of which he soon @ aware as soon as he dropped. He feund, too, that the front door for a wonder was locked, and he could neither get out nor get back up stairs, There were no officers about the building, and se he could do nothing but yell and draw a crowd, who pushed each other about, taking turns in peering through grating at the wading and howling darkey. Chief Field soon came, but not having & key to the basement door, he went above and shoved a pole down through the hole, to help the darkey out with, Instead of gratefully accepti the proffered hn:s, the fellow gra h:fi the pole and tried to punch the chief, which caused the latter to go off in dis- guat and leave him. Then Mr, Vaughan lulnfl.dn crowd, and hearing the cause, had sympathetic heart touched, and ing around the hat he got enough to uy the fellow a suit of clothes, so that when Jackson appeared with a key to the door and let him out, the fel- low had new dry clothes to put on, and was sent down to jail, pretty well satis- fied with the final outcome of the day's celebration. Y esterday morning he ap- peared in court, pleaded guilty, and was assessed his §7.60, s s i ey Ladies' and gent's clothing cleaned, dyed and repaired at Hurlburt's, 34 Pearl street. e —— Call, send or telephone for samples of fine commercial job {zrinunu from Pryor's Job oftice, on Pearl street.
