respondent says:
''The estimate of 81, OOO, 900 to defray the

lneasurably short of the amount required for
that expensive job. Officers of the Quarter

that half a million will scarcely cover the

Mr.. j. W. Grant, on Friday morning, in
which Henry Miller, the keeper of another
saloon, shot twice at Mr.. Grant, one ball gra-
zing his shoulder and breaking the skin, who
escaped under the counter, and gathering a
bucket of water, threw it into Miller's face,
which enabled him to get hold of the pistol.
Miller was then arrested and taken to Jail.
We know not the prOvocatiOn, if there was
any, for the shooting. Miller was intoxicated.

Nearly One Hundred Persons PrOstra-
ted by Lightning,

Last Thursday afternoon, as a large crowd
were assembled III the Fair Grounds of the
Springville Union Agricultural Association,
a thuuder-shOwer came up, aud the people
present sought shelter in the exhibition sheds,
Suddenly the lightning struck one of these
sheds. which contained men, women and
horses. About a hundred persons were par
alyEed in an instant, falling on their faces,
aud many as fifty were rendered insensible
for i've or tea minutes, while about a dozen
were seriously burned. Two horses were
killed on the spot An old gentleman named
John GOrdenier, aud two or three others are
not expected to recover One woman was

& The lightaing struck post in the centre
pf%he shed, against which Henry TillOu, the
landlord of the West Falls Hotel, was lean
ing, and to which horse was attached BY a
chain AGlset. The horse was killed instant
", while Mr.. TillOu escaped by being dazed
and Knocked down. a singular fact men,
toned in connection with the strange freak
of the electric fluid is that all the persons
rendered insensible fell upon their faces. A
young lady, named Miss Nellie Casey, was
quite seriously injured, and her dress was
scOrched, but did not take fire. Another
woman was struck on the shoulder, the fluid
passing down her side, raising blister in its
course. A man from Otto was hit on the
right side of the head, aud on his recovery
the mark was found to commence at the right
eye, and could be plainly traced down the
neck, across the chest, and off the left arm.
The most fearful CONSERVATION existed among
the people until it was discovered how light
the injuries Were.-BytdLO Express, July l.

CoNMITTED.-Two yonng men-Morrissey
and Sheridan, Of the Irish persuasion, came
to town last Monday night, and after indulg-
ing in tangle foot to some extent concluded
to spend the balance of the night "by the
light Of the moon," in disturbing the quiet
of the city. They made descent upon two
sleeping negroes at Buck Darden's Livery
Stable, and according to the testimony given
on trial. aroused the sleepers by loud oaths
and beating one of them with a rock, asking
him if he had any money, aud not getting
any, one of them took hat belonging to
one Of the negroes, and made way with it,
Policeman Robins arrested the couple and
placed them IN the guard-house, and next
morning they were taken before his honor
Recorder Williams, and tried for the oiense.
J. G.. Horuberger for the defense, W. A.
Quarles for the prosecution. After a some
what lengthy discussion of the matter, the
Recorder placed them under bond Of $3.50
each, in default of which they were to be
committed to Jail to appear at next Criminal
Court Morrissey gave bail-Sheridan went
down to board with Charley Morrison.
