How They Manage Things at Relief HeadquartersThe Charily Ball Last Night. COLLtCriSO FOB THE POCK. Tiie work of colliding supplies for the poor of this city has been pushed vigorously, and to the credit of the citizens of the metropolis be it said that they have given without stint and unreservedly from their stores.

The room in, the Missouri Valley building, at the cornerof Fourth and Shawnee streets, which is used as the gener al store room or depot of supplies, is crowded with stores of every kind which can administer to the comfort or satisfy the hunger ot the poor, and at the present lime, or rather yesterday at noon, THE AMOUNT OT SUPPLIES ON II AND was as follows: corn meal. 4.000 Dounds: fkur, 000 pounds meat. 500 oounds a large quantity of beans, hominy, cotfee, sugar, bread, soap, clothing, boots and shoes, hats, caps, besides an assortment of other articles of food and apparel, sufficient to supply the wants of a large number. THE flATIIEBEBS OF THE SUPPLIES. In gathering the supplies from the different wards of the city, several gentlemen volunteered their survices and others donated the use of their teamsfor that purpose, the city being districted according to the various 8 For' the First Ward Mr.

V. C. Loben-stein demoted the use of his team, Messrs. Michael and Bigelow acting as collectors. Foi the Second Ward Mr.

R. B. Craig donated the use of his team, Messrs. Craig and Matthews acting as collectors; Judge Aller's team was also in use, Messrs. Wm.

Small and Thomas Braidwood acting as collectors. 1 or the Third Ward Mr. C. N. Stevens donated the use of his team and also acied as collec'or; Mr.

A. Smith's team was also in use, Mr. Smith himself and Mr. Wm. Merrill acting as collectors Abernathy Uro's donated the use of one of their delivery wagons, Messrs.

K. H. Beeves and J. II. i.

Wiegant acting as collectors: Kobert Keith gave the use also, of one of their delivery wagons, Mr. Keith himself acting as collector. ror the rourth Ward Messrs. Gordon Pro's, donated the use of their team Messrs. P.

C. liecker and E. Jobson acting- collectors G. W. 11.

Moore, superin tendent of the county poor farm, donated the use of his team and himself acted as collector; Mr. Phelan's team was also in use, and Mr. Phelan himself acted as a collector. AT THE HEADQUARTERS Judge 11. M.

Aller. President of the Re lief Association, Dr. McNary. Secretary. and Mr.

Wm. Booth, treasurer, remain at the headquarters or storeroom of the asso- ation, in the Missouri alley bunding. and attend to all applications for relief. The applicant is required to bring a recommendation from some responsible person, beiring witness to the tact that he or she is deserving, a caution which is extreme! necessary, as, it it were not for i would soon be exhausted and go, in all probability to impostors, who are proverb- ally at the front WHEN THERE IS ANYTHING TO GIVE AWAY to be got free of charge. Up to noon yes terday about fifty persons had been relieved ithoiigh the applications were almost three times that cumber.

A recortl the name and amount furnished each ap plicant is kept, while the recommendations are kept on tile. All business is done on trict business principles, and while it mav be possible that worthy inmnsi are turned ay on account oi not having the necess- ry recommendation, still tne latter are cuouh to get, provided the applicant known at all in the city, and then again, I the aoiincant can prove a good character be will ciriainly obtain the relief needed When the application of the one applying for relief is found to be all right an order is given upon Mr. J. M. Mallory, the store keeper, who delivers the articles called or.

UNIQUE APPLICATIONS. As a of coarse those at the relief headquarters have quite a varied experi ence during the cours" of each day, many of the applications eing of a nature at once ludicrous and unique, although the applicants themselvt -i do not seem to think so. Yesterday a nisn called at the head niarters and asked the association to build him a house, saying that he had enough to at and plenty of clothing to keep himself and family comfortable, but he wanted a house built, and thought the association ought to build it for him. It is hardly to say that the association didn't semi the man to build the house and the relief the man wanted he didn't get. GREAT MANY ALSO MAKE APPLICATION who are known to be entirely unworthy but who labor under the belief that as the association is founded on the great principle charity it is of a necessity comtielled to help aud extend aid to each and every ap plicant, whether he be worthy or not Scores of those who make begging and men-dicancy a profession make application, but being known they hardly get what they want, and they go away swearing all sorts of vengeance upon the association.

CASH ON HAND. The cash donations up to yesterday noon, in the hands ot the association, amounted to $1-1), which is exclusive of the receipts for the ball. The latter, although all those entrusted with the sale of tickets have not reported, will reach about $175, maybe more or maybe less. The cash will be used for the purchase of articles and things needed by applicants not included in the list of donations. THE CHARITY BALL LAST NIGHT.

The charity ball at Occidental Hall last night was well attended, and all of those present enjoyed themselvts all the more probably because they knew that the proceeds of the entertainment were to be donated to the relief of the suffering poor of the city The music was good, the supper, or lunch rather, was excellent, although noterhap so costly as some which have been served upon occasions of a similar nature, yet being donated didu't cost anything and tasted all the better for that fact, and the dancing was kept up until a late hour 1 he only expense attendant upon the ball was the orchestra which cost $10, and a few incidentals, whose aggregate cost could not have exceeded $5. a liotiD i t.i nxi ed D's lieolr to ibe Communication Sent In br tbe Rev. 71.

1 think if Dr. Page will read the little book called the Constitution and General tws of the Kni-h sof Honor, he will be convinced that his insurance will cost him more than $1,0 K). He admits that he has lost nearly ti in premiums he had paid. Now what as'urance has he that the amount he pats in this new lodge will not be Fquandered, by paying high salaries, to officials and Duildings expensive temples. Would it not have been better for him to have put his money into a strong-box, and had the care of it himself? then he would not have suffered the loss.

If one cannot take care of their own money it is not to be expected that others will for lhm. I did not wish or intend tn int a sny persons charitable actions, lu show the extravagance of these (so called) benefit societies. I must decline tbe honor of drawing up a plan for the Knighis of Charity, but if one is drawn, and a society is organized, I will clueif illy pass the paper around and add my own name with pleasure My extreme modesty prevents the signing of my own name.

vs. F. M. Urickley Error from Bourbon county Reversed. By the Court.

Bbewer, J. 1. January 8, 1S76, tbe defendant contracted to sell to the Pmltuiff, a tract of land tor S120 lJ ca.h, he remainder in two equal annual payments. The contract naming the payments, expressly stipulated that the limes of payiuvntshould be the essence ot the contract, and that on default thereof the company should have tne right to dee-are tuo contract at an end and tn.reupon a.l rigbts of the purchaser thereunder should cease. It a so specified that the land was sold for improvement aud cultivation.

There was a three-foot vein of coal on the laud of wbicn Brlckley had, but the company Lad not kno ledge at the lime of this contract ami nothing was said by him to It concerning such vein of coal, Iu the fait of 1876, tie went on a visit to Indiana, intending to return in a few weeks, but while toele and in Octolier, dislocded bis ankie whereby he ws con fined to his bed until March, 18i7. When he left Fort Scott there was due him from tbe party in whose employ he had been, nearly enough money to maka tbe payment lln January, 1877 and be left said contract with other papers, lu tne sate 01 nis employer, but without saying anything lu refereuce there to, or as to making payment on his contract While confined to his bed in Indiana he cor responded frequently with his employer, but without saying anyiug concerning said contract. He defaulted on his payment lu January, 1877, and on April 2, 1877, ihe Company exercised the power ot declaring the contract at an end and mailed notice thereof to Plaintiff, which he received on April 5tb, 1877. On April 14th, 1877, Plaintitf arrived iu Fort Scott and tendered the lull amount of the January payment with interest, which tender was declined. At the date of the contract there was some talk of constructing a rtailroia in immediate proximity to the laud, of which fact Brickley had knowledae.

and about the time of the forfeiture both Brlckley and the Company ascertained tnal there was a probability of its spedy construction, and at the time of trial in Decem ber, 187, it was. iu iact, in process 01 con- struclion The land was tneu worth The excess over the price belug due to tbe existence of the vein of coal and the prospect of the speedy const tucted of the Railroad. Brickley never went into actual possession of tbe land; held. 1 That while in agreements or lliessieot real estate the timeoi payment is not ordiuar-ly of tliee-seuce of the contract, yet by ex press stipulation the parties may make it so and when so made, r-uch stipulation is like all other stipulations of the contract, to be respected and en oreed by all Courts ol i-ouity as well as ihose of law. 2.

That uuder Ihe contract the Company- could exercise its option of ceclaring the con- ract at an end immediately ou ui hapneu- ing of the de.Hult or at auy time thereailer, and that when so exercised the rights of the purcii4ser uuder lid contract ceased at once. 1 nat wniie equny sometimes relieves iln.vt forfeitures yet it never does so to en- force a hard and unconscionable bargain, when he consideration is grossly inadequate 4. Unit Plalutill Having neei entered into possession or expended any money in liu proving the land, and beims in delault and the Company tendering back the money it has received, equity will not relieve him irom his default or decree against the "-ouipauy a specific performance of the contract.

A woman, who seemed to be in a hurry about something, walked into the cilice of the District Clerk the other day and wanted to see udge Crt zier immediately. The deputy clerk informed her that the Judge was on the bench at the time and couldn't be disturbed, and asked her what Bhe wanted. She said she wanted to get a divorce, right oS, and when interrogated as to her great anxiety to get it at once she said she wanted to get married again.

She was advised to go to a lawyer and go through the MOMMiy legal proceedings, and it is evident that the advice was taken, as there is a divorce suit now upon the docket, to be taken up just as soon as justice has a mi ml to. Police In the police court yesterday morning the scout, Jimmy Cannon, was before the bar for getting drunk, a trick which Jimmy is always perpetrating in fact since he has been in town he has hardly drawn a sober breath, and has been a great nuisance upon the streets, shouting and swearing and making himself promiscuous generally. Jimmy's natural element is the wide uninhabited prairie, where he can get drunk and kill Indians and whoop and swear without disturbing anybody. John Murray, a vagabond of some note, was given a few hours in which to leave the city, with the understanding that the police wouldn't handle him with kid gloves if they ever caught him inside the city limits again.
