There arc fow men in this city who are more known to fame than Barney Shan- non. He has been for twelve years back a character whose name has been upon almost ev r¥ tongue. To this popularity, his Hibernian irascibility, unique uggressiveness and desire for notority contributed. Inthe aisplay of these peculiarities, he found ample field in the council of the city, in days not far in the past when the local JegisTature was a thing fearfully and wonderfully made up. here, he served two terms, and though it may not be said that he did ex- coeding great things, he achieved the proud distinction of being known as the ‘flowery-tongued orator of the third.” He was, in a sense, the ideal councilman of the many of his constituents, espe- cially when a slight commendation or a pat upon the back would instinctively suggest to the generous representative a call of all hands to the b Mr. Shan- non was an Irishman, without educa- tion. He firstlabored in the coal fields of Pennsylvania.

Judge Wakeley. is hearing the case of Ettleson vs. Miller, sheriff. Yesterday Judge @Neville® declined to grant a continuance of the Ballard murder t and ordered the jury to be called. Ballard was brought into court, He was dressed in a neat and well-fitting suit, and took up a seat by kis attorney, General O'Brien. He kept his eyes fixed upon the base of the general’s ehair, and maintained monotonous fingering of his short-cropt monstache throughout the ex- amination of the jury panel.

As a conseque the wagons are perhaps the most 'disgrace- ful in the country. The new contract will be commenced on the first of July and a couple of new wagons now being made by Meadimber give hope that for a short time at least ap- pearances will be respectable. The post- office authorities hay complamed against the old rattle-tra but the uear approach of the close of the original con- tract has prevented any change being made.

Yesterday at 10 o'clock a little mes senger boy named Boland was crossing Fiftcenth street near the postoflice, when he was cut at with a whip by a fellow named Brown, who drives one of the dis- graceful-looking vans which carry the mails to and from the depots. The lash encircled the boy's neck, threw him down and dragged him on his back for several feet. Brown did not stop to see what in- jury he had done, thinking when his whip xlrx\g;]'cll that it was caught on one of his The boy’s neck was painfully d and the wonder was that he was not strangled. Wants the Metre, Dr. Ward, a physician in the Withnell block, persistently refused to pay his February gas bill according to the old rate, while the company as determinedly insisted that he should. The difliculty could not be amicably settled, and ac- cordingly a representative of the com- pany appeared in Justice Anderson’s court yesterday and swore out ‘a writ of mp*l'vin to secure their gas meter. The writ was granted and the ecase will be brought to trial.

Forr Oxaua, Neb.,, June 14.—To the Editor of the Beg: I respectfully allow myself to explain “a correction’ men- tion ed in your paper concerning the rifle practice of companies B, and I. The Ivish rifles, company I, did have a higher figure of mert than company B, but company I had torty-three men firing and company B oily forty-one men, therefore company B got the smaller divisor in finding the figure of merit. The general figure of merit of company 1is 79.51; company B 78.78. Conrr’t. CoMpPany I, FourtH INFT'Y, A Souvenir Oane.
