fine of $100 or serve 50 lays in the city
bastile there for annoying several
respectable young ladies of that city,

Wednesday came down to the bastile
and unlocked the door and told him
to cet away that evening, which lie
did, Kramer alleging that the officer.
of the resort city replaced the lock
on the door with an iron bar, so that
nil that was necessary for him to do
was to take the liar out and "beat it."

brought him all his belongings before
they "fixed" the lock for him on
Ycdnesday.

several respectable young ladies who
were spending their vacation at the

en an indecent exhibition and other
wise annoyed them. Kramer was ar

charges, but broke down and confess

The object of this new organization

tions of the annual Apple Show,
which has heretofore been held by
the State Horticultural Society, so
as to take in all products of the soil,
and they invite all localities of the
state to take part in it. On motion
it was ordered that the manager of
the Albany Apple Fair be advised to
take the matter into serious consider

special appropriation of $10,000 for
our new postoffice building at ' the

it was his opinion it could be secured
at the next session without much dif
ficulty. He recommended that no
steps be taken towards the erection
of the proposed building with the
money already appropriated ($55,000)
but to wait for action upon the mat
ter at the next session of congress.
The manager was instructed to thank
the senator for his hearty support in
behalf of the appropriation, and to
advise him that the line of action
recommended by him for the future
met with our approbation and would
be followed by our citizens.
