Dangerous Place for Horses to Tread - Serious transportation issues ensue due to the railway groove at the corner of Biddle Street and Madison Avenue which has been perilous for horses. "A horse driven by F. F. Shipley, No. 1843 Mosher Street caught his shoe ... was thrown down and hurt. A horse fell in the same place a few days ago. Enough shoes to fill a bushel have been torn from horses ... at this place."
Her Pocket-Book Stolen in Church - While Miss Anna Bartzell, 1713 Bolton Street, was in the Strawbridge Methodist Episcopal Church at (1630) Park Avenue and Wilson Streets, the contents were stolen from her pocketbook as she worshipped in church.

Sentenced for Forging Store Orders - Four years in the penitentiary were the consequence of "John Davis, colored, pleaded guilty to ... forging the name of Mr. Henry A. Parr to several orders ... for merchandise" at Hamilton Easter & Sons, 13 East Baltimore Street (built in 1848, but destroyed by the 1904 Great Fire).
An Astronomical Phenomenon Observed - "..while standing on the Canton wharf of the Bay Line steamers and looking westward across the ice-covered harbor, the attention of [Rev. T. M. Beadenko] and a companion was attracted by a luminous circular spot not far from the sun, but apparently larger and shining with prismatic colors of the rainbow."
Tomorrow is Christian Endeavor Day - What has become Groundhog Day, February 2, was celebrated by the world-wide, inter-denominational, Christian Endeavor Society in accordance with their manual, "to obtain a thank-offering for some good object." The Maryland State society executive committee met at the Baltimore YMCA.
