LOCAL MATTERS,


Board of Trustees, last Thursday evening, a
petition was presented by parties interested,
praying for the passage of an ordinance requi-
ring property holders to plank Broad street,
from the point where the work is left unfn-
ished, to the intersection of Bridge street. The
petition was laid over until the next meeting,
when it will be acted on. 1t was not thought
advisable to require the work to be done under
month or two, at least. The street is now in
good condihon-being neither muddy nor dusty
and If the planks are put down now they win
have to be taken up next month for the purpose
of laying the water and gas pipes. This would
involve an additional expense Of $500 or 81 900
to Messrs Marsh and Simpkins, the contrac-
tors, which by waiting month OF two can be
avoided, without any serious inconvenience to
persons doing business on the street. In fact,
the taking up the planks, and having them in
the way, while the pipes were being laid, would
be greater inconvenience to the property hol-
ders than to allow the street to remain in its
present condition.
MINING ACCIDENTAL miner named John
Heron, at work in some claims at Deadwood
Ravine, was seriously, and perhaps fatally, in
Jured yesterday afternoon. 1t appears that an
old log had been lying for some years, partially
projecting over the bank, the men walking un-
der 1t as occasion required. But yesterday af-
ternoon the log broke of its own weight, while
Heron was standing under it, the broken piece
striking him on the shoulder, bending him back
and crushing him to the earth. DR.. II. Hunt
was Immediately called to attend him. At first
it was supposed that he was mortally injured,
but we learn that he is somewhat better to-day,
and there is now some hope of his recovery.
BUSINESS CHANGE.-MeSsrs. Hagadorn &
Bowley have leased the brick building of Dr.
HINT, next above the Postoffice, on Broad
street, where they purpose removing their dry
goods establishment The building is now be-
ing fitted up in superior style, by Messrs. Kent
K Mackay, and will be finished and ready for
its future occupants in a week or ten days. For
dry goods store, there is no better location in
town.
ELEGANT SIGN.-The neatest and most
beautiful sign we have seen in this place was
put up in the Empire Market yesterday. It was
executed by Mr.. Joseph Lee, Of Broad street.
The taste and skill exhibited in the blending of
shades and colors, and in the lettering and
painting throughout, shows the work of an ac-
complished artist. 1t is worth looking at
