"Meat 15 the tie that bind our special poet to his couutry school. Three carloads of Mood horses pas sed through the city this morning en route from California to New York. The family of Mr. Gering will move from the house they now occupy on Locust street to the Schildknecht house which is located on 9th street, next Mon day. The report came to ua today that Mrs. John Minor is seriously ill. She has only been confiocd to her bed the past two days, but since, her condition has rapidly grown worse and at present, it is said, she lies in a critical condition. Mrs. Allen Colcmanr of Weeping "Water, was taken to the asylum at Lin coln yestdeday, by Sheriff Eikenbary. It is said that this is the fifth time she lias become insane. She was sent to the asylum before but as ii was lelieved she had fully recovered, she was attain re leased. The masquerade ball given in Fitz gerald's hall last night under the auspi ces of the St Luke's Guild was reported as being a grand success. The finest dis play of costumes ever witnessed at any event of that character iu the city, were seen last night. There was an un usually large attendance. As the Herald was misinformed regarding the statement which was afloat that the cx -secretary had appropriated about f 40 of the gun club's money, an apology is due the man on whom the blame fell since he has cleared himself of the charge. On account of the loose manner in which the books of the club were kept, the mistake occurred. The most welcome sound which has readied the reporters ears for many a day was the report of a revolver followed by the kye yi kye yi of a canine which had leen howling for about an hour before trying to knock on the head all his efforts to sleep. The man wLo fired the gun deserves rich compensation for the thoughtfulness he exhibited in behalf ot many friends who live within about a mile of his home. W. M. Wilkinson, representing lUbert Downing and the Gladiator Company, is in the city today arranging for the appearance of the company on the 6th of March. The guarantee 3Ian ager Young desired to raise has not yet been secured, but he feels bafe in running a little chance, as many who have not signed are desirous of seeing the com pany, and the majority of them will at tend when the time arrives. We learn that the street commission ers have at last been instructed to fill the numerous cesspools within the limits of our citv. Better late than never. The board of health should have taken the matter iu hand many weeks apo, as the cause of the nnsnerous cases of diphtheria in the city is attributed to ' the stench which arises from such pools. It is well that the heat of the summer w ill n.t be allowed to raise filthy fumes from such poisonous water. Now since the city 1ms been provided with every advantage in way of drainage, there is n excuse for filthy quarters. . The first progressive whist party ev r given in the city, wi a decided Mtces. and the hostess. Miss Hattie- ShcfTtr, re oeived much prais ; frrm hir truest for the able 121 inner in which she conducted the a (T it r. The entire company arrived at her home about 8 o'clock last nisht and immediately after, the game was commenced Much more interest was manifested than in the progressive euchre. The party did not break op unt'l after 12 o'clock, shortly before which time the most, inviting refreshments were served. The king prizes were a tie on both side?. The gentlemen securing the first prizes were Messrs. J. A. Daviesand C. Morgan, and the ladies Misses Ollie Jones and Annie Murphy. After the cut waa made to decide the tie, Mr. C. Morgan and Miss Jones carried off the honors. The friends of W. A. Derrick have volunteered their services to aid in giv ing him a benefit concert before he takes his departure from the city. Some of the most prominent citizens have not only suggested the idea, but have made known their indention of making it a grand success. The Glee Club have often ben requested to come before the public with a concert, and the memlers hare decided to do so now. Mr. C. F. Whit ney, of Omaha, formerly a member of the club, will be present on that occasion. Other Omaha talent will also be engaged for the occasion. Messrs. Neville, Con nor and Mnrphy. whose ability as humor ists is unquestionable, have promised their valuable assistance by rendering a trio. Mr. P. McCallen, whose srrvicrs have been engaged at a great expense, will accompany the three vocalist by the violin, on which he exhibits much ability. It is expected that the concert will be the most humorous ever given in the city, and the best local talent will assist TjlE DAILY PERSONALS. Mr. A. W. Martin and Miss Pratt aro upending the day in Omaha. Mr. 8. F. Thomas, attorney, leaves for Washington by the flyer this afternoon to attend the inauguration.

What will prove the most important tragic engagement yet known in Platts mouth, will be the appearance at the opera house on next Wednesday of the great tragedian, Robert Downing under the management of Mr. J. II. Mack. Mr. Downing will appear in the grand and realistic production of Dr. Binds sublime tragedy, Hpartacus the Gladiator, which will be produced here ir all ;J8 magni tude, ns when seen at the Star Theatre and (Jrand opera house New York, the Huston theatre Boston, and all the princi pal legitimate theatres of thjs country. Over a car load of magnificent scenery will be brought here together with all the original grrgeoua costumes, armor, properties and implements of Roman warfare. Downing is this week playing to the capacity of the opera house, Kan sas fity, and is enroute Ea3t for other extended engsgenients in the largest cities. The reporter had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Thos. F. Boyd, manager of Boyds opera house, Omaha, yesterday. This was his first visit to our city. He was in company with Manager Young who showed him around our city during the short stay he had here. He showed him our opera house and he informed the reporter that the opera house was an "ornament to our city, although it seem ed to him that the proprietor of the house did is t cater to the eoiq forts and taste of the p.itrons. During his man; .ears of ment, his experience has been. that people vvhu patronize opera houses expect to see a change of scesuTj and other com forts it least every two ye'irs c well as good attractions, for which they are willing to pay their 111 ney. and he is sati-!i.d that the house would have a iini'-l: better patronage if the proprietor, ilr. IViiti-niian, would put in some new seen ry, new decorations, take out the platform floor, and iic It uj s a regular op-.-r.i house with good chairs, a i. Ijad h'-aid managers of companies playing in n -y that the PI. ittsiimuth opera house ii t not had :-uy improvements since it vus. built. So far as inantg-r Young i cor.et rued, he is doing his best to giwe the p.itrons good attractions, and is sue ceeding. as many companies coming here play at his house and was astonished to Lear that we had secured Robt. L. Down ing for i, date and assures the Platts mouth people that it wi)l be the finest performance ever seen here aud would advise everyone to go and hear this great tragedian and his powerful company. J. E, Riley, of Omaha, was in the city yesterday for the purpose of learning what success he would ieei at bands of the citizens, before whom he had placed the proposition and project of erecting a twenty hve thousand dollar hotel. It is stated that he received little or no encouragement, and the whole scheme has dropped through. It was his intention to carry out his plans should he receive the encouragement desired, but as the people seemed to take no In teres t in the matter he was well satisfied to abandon the idea. He thought when prrty owners could not see their way for aoeUtin&r Jo such a matter, that busi ness would not maintain it, and he was evidently as well satisfied to fict it nut'' at anyone, and accept a much mere fav orable opportunity at his option in a much more business like town. .Judge Newbury was a little on his muscle today and had a fistic encounter with one of the fraternity this afternoon. For further particulars inquire of the judge. Tbc finest lot of socks ever in the city at Elson's; only Sets pfer pair. , HERALD ; PLATTSMOOTH.
