Mandel's, No, 326 Broadway. There will boa cholcs entertalnment at the Y. M. O. A, rooms this evening. Among the featurcs of Intercat will be a general history lesson, in which all can ean tako a part. Oharles Baughan discovered yesterday morning, that the night before trampe had alept In his barn, and left some burnt matches, taking In thelr place a laprobe, whip and other articles. Three vory nlcely fitted op emigrant ears wero sent from here Sunday to Jamesville, Wis., to be there filled witha party of Badgers, who are coming oug 1nto the west to look for homes and In- ‘vestments. The Sunday base ball games aro belng complained of as growing more and more riotous and rollicking. It s sald that thero was at the last one altogether too much drinking and too much fighting, the crowd seeming to take mora Interest In the booths and the outslde hurrah than {n the game iteelf. Frank McDonald, who drives a team for the Empkie hardware company, was thrown from hls seat, and fell between the horses, which becoming frightened ran, The wheel pazsed over McDonald’s meck and shoulders, causing Injuries which it ls feared will prove very serious. In the pollce court yesterday Anton Lieb, E. Butler, and Richard McGuire were fined for belng drunk, John Law- rence for disturbing the peace, Mike Bherldan for vagrancy, were sentenced to ten dsys work on tho sireots. One woman, Mrs. Sarah Cane, wag fined for disturblrg the peace. Yeaterday moralng the Eicher-Walters contest over the chleftalnehip of the fire department at last camo to o hearing in the auperior court. Col. Scott argued the case in behalf of Walters, and Col. Sapp and Major Lyman on behali of Eicher. The judge reserved his decision for some future day. It fs sald that the msyor ascertalned by personal observation and Investiga. tion that 8 number of the saloons were open and running Sunday. Now there 1s some cur oslty as to what he is going to do about {t. He has sald that unless the councll passed a resolutlon requesting that they be allowed to keep open Sun- day he would surely dry them up. If so, how 1 Grand ball and entertaloment to be glven by tho Knights of Labor at Masonlc hall Wedneedsy, September 23. Tickets, $1; on saleat F. D. King & Co.'s olgar store, 543 Broadway.

Mitohell, the ticket agent of the ‘Wabash, has made arrangements by which he will put on sale, October 3 to 10, tlokets for 8t.

The new part s to have a frontage of twenty feet, aud is to run clear back, the same as the old building, and the whole bullding is to bave one more story added. This will make a large and con- vontent building for the handling of thelr immense stock of goods. “The entertalnment given last evenlng by Prof. Morrls with hls wonderful tralned dogs and ponies was a most en- joysble one. Last season this was one of the most popular entertalnments given here, and this year the show 1s fully #wice aa good, there being more ponles and dogs, and more and better acts, Ths matinee this aiterncon will draw a crowd and this evening there will be a house full also, without doubt. Boveral fell)ws were In courl yester- day charged with befog vagrants, they having been found sleeping in box-cars As each had a pitifal story to tell, and allpromised to leave the cltyat once, they were turned loose.

Frank Struble, for the ¢ shooting of Dr. Ordway, of Casta the night of Jan, 2 last. To briefly lule the case: On the cvening mentioned, the dooctor was awakened by a rap at his door, and in reply to the loquiry of what was wanted, was told that some medi- olne was wanted for asick child in the nelghborhood. The doctor proceeded to open the door, and aek a question or two, then stepped back, put on his pants, only fastening a button or two, when in the act of lighting a lamp, A SHOT WAS FIRED, from oufside through the window, tak- Ing effect In bl tace, entering above the right slde of the mouth tearlog through his upper lip snd nose, and leaving only a elight plece to connect It from being entirely severed. The doctor at once started for his own gun, but falling, made for the hall whero the parties were stand- ing, and as he did so another shot was fired, but without effect. Again the gun (s double breech loader) was leveled at his breast, but falled tog discharge, the shell not having been placed right, In the harry to dispatch their victim, Thus it was snapped three times. A GENERAL TUSSLE ENSUED, The unfialehed condldon of the dootor’s attire rendered him at a disadvantage to prosecute the fight with the vigor that otherwlse would have taken place, but he succeeded In securlvg the guo, a cap, and a mitten. In the meleo his room entered, his trunk, con'alning up wards of $100,000 worth of notes and mortgages, was taken out, and later de- velopments proved that it was taken off someo distavce and burned with all its contents, The three assatlants escaped, and the next dey the soarch began. Darlog the forenoon Frank Struble CALLED AND CLAIMED THE GUN, and mitten, statlog that his house had been robbad the right before, his clothes and watch also haying been taken, be- eldes $21 in cash. To cat the matter short three arrests were made—Frank Struble, Thomas Stiuble and John Me- Bride. Three indictments were fund against them each, Oa the first Ind ct- ment Frank S rable was trled for ‘“‘at tempt to commit murder,” and the jury upon the evidence acqnitted him. Une of theee jarms informed your reporter that under the instructions of the court that was all they conld do, as the evl- dence wes produced in such a maunner 88 to Indicate more strongly the guilt of the other two than of Frank. So at thls term he Is belng trled upon the second Indictment of ‘ burglary and intent to commlt bodily Injary.” Icis the most excliing case that hes ever been trled In the annals of Monons county. An intorview with a pumber of the attendant witnetses dedaced the fol- lowing oplnfons and facts: The general lmwpression seems unanimous that the law has fastened upon the right partiee; recnd, that Frank Struble, the principal detend-nt. had, horetofore, borne a most exemplary rapulatlon In every regard. He s a man 26 years of age, and hac a wife of a year prevlous to the unfortucate occurrence that threaters now to land him for a long term in the penitentiary. THE YOUNG WIFE /u an Intelllgent appearing lady of med ium attalnments, falr to look upon, and ‘ather of a winsomo and confiding dir— position, She la by her husband through the whole trlal,as are the defendant's parents and lhter The popular sympathy appears to be with the unfortunate de- fendants to a certaln degree, while not for a moment doubting their gullt, the feeling s very different from what it woald be were they known to be hard characters heretofore, SOME OF THE FACTS adduced as provocatlon for the crlme appesar to be that the doctor held notes and mortgsges agalost the defendants, in »ll near $2,000, eome of which was then dae, and the general undercorrent of popular dlstaste of the doctor’s extor- tlonate method of deallog with those in crampad clrcumstancesseemed tointensify the deeire for hls summary removal, The young man was on good terms wich everyoune in the neighborhood, Including the doctor. Nor is this the first attempt that has been made on the life of this plaintiff, but we were informed that he bad been shot at several times In the pest by unknown partles.
