Judge Kield granted the injunction this morning, and thus commences one of the most deeply intoresting cases ever taken to the courts against the city. For some time past there has been rumbling and grumbling, ut this brings the matter to a focus. The robels in sewer district, No. 2 have a keen eye upon the outcome. It will furnish the food for their cry if the injunction is sus- tained, and in that “event the council may a millstone around its neck. CHANCELLOR'S DAY, The Weslcyan university was formally ded- feated yestorday afternoon. It was u notable occasion. The exercises took place at the new university, just completed, three and a half miles east and a little north of the heart of the city. The elegant and spacious chapel was filled to its utmost capacity, and the ex- ercises commenced promptly at 3 o'clock. Presiding Elder Leighton, of Chilicothe, Mo., read the opening hymu, and Rev. T. B. Lemon, the father of Methodism in Ne braska, pronounced the invocation. It was @ humble, fervent offering of thanks to the rulor of heaven and carth. Rev. W. Miller preaented the address on the part ol the trustecs, and he feelingly remarked as he handed the key to Chancellor Creighton : “The opening of the university is looked upon as the culmination of two years of prayerful and earnest work to unify the edu- cational system of the church in the state, The wisdom of having the higher and more expensive work done in the central univer- sity is thercfore apparent. May God guide in the direction of the uffairs and great work of the institution.” Bishop Newman's talk was cheerful and thoughtful, He said that the christian homes of the state were looking to the chancellor for the protection of theirsons and daughters, and that the church would look to him to roclaim the beautiful harmony that exists woman to chirp out the soundest mor ity in a meek little voice.

When Hannah was sixteen she tumbled into the horse pond and was drowned, while Jane fell into the well, got hooked by a steer, fell from the big beam in the barn, was run over by the ox cart, and yet lived to marry a pork packer in Cin- cinnati and lead the high-toned society of the state of Ohi» into still more sorry puths.

The final allot- ment of space takes place on November 15, and shipments by steamer begin in January. The amount of space allotted to the hited States being filled up by applicants from all parts of the country. The commissioners are progressing with their work on a is of absolute im- partiality. It is simply a case of first come first served. Irom present indi- cations, it is not unlikely that many manufacturers who are now hesitating will find themselves in the position of the foolish virgins, unless they make npl)lwnlmn for space without further According to the provisions of the i'rench government, there is to ) no charge for space occupied by exhib- itors. Moreover, as it is the intention of the United States government in participating in this exposition to demonstrate the merit and comparative excellence of our products and manu- factures, the commissioners will fo ward,free of freight between New York and the exposition, going and return- ing, all articles received for exhibit.

This nation cannot forget its obliga- tions to France for the assistance ren- dered in its early struggles for frecdom. On many occasions since, notably in the presentation by the French people of the Statue of Liberty which now adorns New York harbor, the sympathy and good will of the French nation to- wards the United States and its govern- ment have been manifested. The year 1889 will be the centennial of events in France which gave impetus to the es- tablishment of republican institutions throughout the world. It will be re membered that the sum of $250,000 was appropriated to be used under the direc- tion of the secretary of state to defray all expenses.

It was, however, a kind of livelihood differing only in de- groe from the peddling of collar but- tons and matches with which Wall street is plagued to-day. Many bankers and brokers gave the stamp business of the office as a perquisite to a young rel- ative, often times a son. It is an open secret that the offense which was com- mitted by Washington Nathan, and which was so mourned over by his father, Benjamin Nathan, whoso mys- terious murder has been a sore spot to the detectives of New York, was in connection with this stamp busi- ness. The transactions in his father's Louse were so heavy that the stamps often covered the top of the check or note, and lrcquently it was necossary to make room for them by lapping one partly over another. ~ Wash Nuthau’s evil genius suggested to him vo cut the stamp in half and make pieces of paper do duty for the half that was overlaid, How long he had carvied on this prac- tice is not known, but on one un-h‘on a The packet lines between Cincinnati and Portsmouth, Cincinnati and Louis- ville, Louisville and Evansville, and Evansville and Cairo, to say nothing of the independent boats that make short daily runs to and from the larger citics. will receive a deadly blow when the new roads begin business, and perhans they will disappear after a very teeble struggle.
