The sale of unclaimed packages by the
American express company yesterday
drew a largo crowd , and created much
merriment. The collection of goods was
a motley ono , as it had boon gathered
from all points in the state , and consisted
of packages , valises , trunks , boxes , etc.
These were auctioned off to the highest
bidder trithout examination , so that
there was much luck and chance about
it. The worst sold man of the day
bought a fine looking box for § 1.25 and
on opening it found it to contain
nothing but patent medicine ,
almanacs and old ones at that. Ono man
bought for § 3 what proved to bo a prottj
complete camping out outfit , a tent , paii
of rubber boots , etc. , probably § 25 wortli
in all. Ono little package which had t
very pleasing exterior proved to contain
nothing but a casting. Ono man boughl
a package for a quarter which was found
to contain about three dollars worth o :
socks. Ono box which sold at fifty conti
was found to contain a bottle of semi
kind of horse medicine , the bottle boinj
packed in the box with hay. The pack
ages soil from 25 cento up , while valisei
wont at a dollar or two , and old trunk
about the same. Good prices were go
in most cases , and few who thus bough
blindly got what would prove to bo o
much greater value than the aura paid
however valuable they might have booi
to , the person to whom they were shippoi
originally.
Ono poor man , who could ill [ afford II
bought a largo box , heavily weighted , i
being knocked down to him at 82.7C
On opening it , the contents proved to b
handbills for some show. Another one
Charlie Liobold , got a box for fifty-fivi
cents , and on opening it found it iillo
with clothing , with a note in ono of th
ntockinga , showing that it had boon son
by seine sister to her brother , nud onclot
ing 822 , the note and money being tic
up in ono end of the pair of Blocking !
Thus the bundles front hip and chance
and each purchaser was surrounded by
crowd , anxious vo BOO what the packag
contained ,
The demonstration at the sale yosto
day must have boon gratifying to the fo
ladies present , for it demonstrated to
certainly that men are not only as cur
ous or more curious than women , dospit
the common talk about woman's curios
ty , but that the men wore willing to pn
to satisfy their curiosity. Mystorioi
packages brought higher prices thn
goods which could bo soon and their vah
estimated. The room was crowded an
the excitement kept up all day.

The colored votora claim that Vaughan -
an haa promised to appoint ono of their
number on the police force , if they would
moot and agrco on to who they wanted
on the force. Throe different gatherings
have been hold to decide this mighty
matter. They claim that Vaughan prom
ised to cotno and act as chairman , but nt
none of the meetings did ho appear. At
a convention hold the other night , those
present decided in requesting that Harry
Knight should bo appointed on the force ,
but this called forth eomo dissatisfaction ,
as it was found that Knight had only
boon hero about three months , and had
no special claims to the appointment.
Another mcolinj ? waa held Wednesday
night. The old building formerly used
by Mr. Knave as a harness shop was so-
looted as the placo. The colored gentlemen -
men borrowed strawberry boxes and half-
bushel moasur03 nt Maltby's store foi
seats , and it being decided that ovorj
colored voter in the city was entitled to t
aoat in the convention if ho could
borrow one , the candles wore anulFod and
business procoodod. A committee wiu
appointed to draw up dome resolutions ,
and retired to the roar room of the build
ing , but finding that the caving in of the
bluff had smashed ono sldo of the room
they got shaky about staying there , ant
without waiting to reduce their report t <
writing they hurried back to their brethren
ron and gave an oral report donouncinj
Vaughn for not keeping his promises t <
the colored voters.
Ed Ollison gavp the boys a atraigh
talking to. Ilo said that ha was n demo
crnt , nnd that the democrats had paid tin
darkies § 2.50 each nt the last election fo :
their votes. They had got their pay and
had no business to oxpcct any moro
The democrats had done all they would
and if they wanted any moro they shouk
make the republican party do soniothiiif
for thorn. As long aa they sold thoii
votes , instead ol voting on principle , thoj
need expect nothing but the price o
their votes. Ho declared that Ynughai
had fooled all Council Blulla , and hi
would of course fool thorn.
Atfor sonio talk it was decided to recommend
ommond Joe Banks ns policeman. Thii
was made ummlmous nnd on motion ai
adjournment was taken to Wagnor'i
saloon to got the boor on their nominee
and after the delegates had returned the !
borrowed strawberry boxes they ropairei
thither and drank heartily to Banks
nomination. They will now wait to BOI
which ono of the now uniforms \rill b
vacated to make room for Banks.
