An EYE-SORE--On behalf Of the people
owning property at The lower end of town,
we have to suggest that something ought TO
be done TO improve the appearance Of the
county jail. Almost the first building that
greets the eye on coming into town, its ap-
pearance is oy no means prePossessing, and is
ill calculated to fsvorably impress the new
conner If nothing better can be done, lib
eral coat of white wash applied to the build
ing and fence would give the whole a more
cheerful appearance. The prisoners who are
tired idling their time, could readily do the
work. and at the same time they would be
adding to their own comfort As so9n as the
county finances will admit, new jail should
be erected ia a less exposed situation, but
until this can be done, an effort shonid be
made to keep the present structure IN a pre-
! sentable condition.

The RAHR0AD.-We learn that iron sufti
oient to complete tae railroad as far as Mill
Creek has been shipped and Is now on the
way from San Francisco. This, We presume,
IL as near as the road Will approach the town
this year. There has been Il general under
standing that the road would be completed
its entire length bsfore the close of the season,
but various causes have operated TO retard
the work. The iron was to have been far
nished by the San Francisco manufacturer
by the lst of last June, but the machinery Of
the rolling mill broke down, and this in
volved several months delay. Instead of get
ting the iron III june, it was late in July be-
fore the first lot was delivered, and it is now
uncertain when the balance viii cJme to

Col. OTs, has returned from Canyon City,
where he was called to meet the charge of
having assaulted a woman employed as a
lanndress at Camp Harvey. A hearing was
had in The case, when 1t appeared that the
woman was called to Col. Otis Office, in or
der that he might talk TO her and induce her
to deport herself better in camp. The wom-
an, instead of taking what was meant to be
good advice in the same spirit, became mp
roar ,us and us, d insulting language until in
a moment Of furgetfulness, Col Otis slapped
her across the face with his open hand. No
injury was intended, and the woman never
suffered from the slap, but on this slender
basis the charge of courageous abuse, !"
miscarriage" etc, was trumped up, and
Col. O,is put 10 the inconvenience and ex-
pense OF journey to Canyon City The
court, after hearing the evidence in the case,
held Col. Otis to answer the charge of assault
and battery "Only this and nothing more. "

uerrmann,s Automatic City.

This curious machine is now on exhibit
ton in Kingsley & Sprague's block. A
wonderful amount of mechanical skill is
shown in its construction, and it would
well repay visit from anyone and careful
study from all those interested in machin-
cry. We can only speak of few of the
prominent figures. AT the right of the cot
tage on the lower floor is shepherd watch
ing his sheep, and filling in the intervals
with attentions to his darling, who created
much me~riment In the center of this
floor is blacksmith's shop containing six
figures.
In the second story are flour and saw
mill in the third story shoe shop, with
workmen, and the whole is surmounted by
a town clock The most wonderful sight,
however, is the machinery by which the
figures are moved. The motive power is a
weight like the weights in old hall clocks,
and there is an endless number of small
wheels, pulleys, ETC., to move the separate
parts of the work. The fineness and deli
cacy OF these small parts and the accuracy
of their movements are marvellous.

As luck would have 1t not very large
quantity of clothes had been collected, al
though IL was Monday. The amount of
the loss of clothing was between $40 and
$50. The General Stark steamer was on
hand in short order, but as no water could
be obtained In the immediate vicinity 1t
was some time before they got the steam er
in operation. The machine had to be
placed IN Mr. Hunts yard, and the water
forced through 400 feet of hose. With
Mr.. George HARDWOOD at the machine 1t
worked in fine style, and great credit is
due to the company under the existing cir
cumstances.

The ladies of the Keene Baptist social
circle held their annual sugar festival at
the city hall, Wednesday evening, not
withstanding the bad walking the hall as
usual was crowded to overlooking. All
present pronounced the affair one of the
best of the season. All seemed to enjoy
themselves hugely. No pains were spared
to warrant good time, and as far as could
be ascertained all felt well paid for their
trouble and expense. The fancy table was
elegant, also the floral table, which were
situated in the front part OF the hall. A
little back of these was the table well filled
with articles necessary for everyday use
like bed-quilts, aprons and many useful ar
ticles too numerous to mention. A little
farther down the hall was the fruit and ice
cream tables, which were abundantlv sup
piled. On the opposite side of the hall were
the tables for oysters, hot sugar, cold meats
and everything that go to make the inner
man happy. The sales were quick and a
good price paid for all. The net proceeds
amounted to over three hundred dollars
which will go towards furnishing the new
church.
This edifice, which is nearly completed,
will be dedicated the first part of June
next. One word in regard to the new
church. Every individual going into the
church comes away with one opinion, that
it is by far the best and most elegant build
ing in the city, The total cost will be from
fifty-fvc to sixty thousand dollars.
The Baptist society have long needed
such house, and we congratulate them in

hard and long to accomplish what they
have at last procured and the best feature
of all is, the church when completed will
be nearly paid for, leaving the house free

FIRE.


At about ten minutes past one O'CLOCK
this morning the cry of "fire' was raised
upon the street, but no general alarm was
given and the fire department did not turn
out.
1t was soon ascertaned that the house of
Bradley Mcclure, No. 100 Main street, on
the south side of Gouger hill, was in flames.
The fire originated from defective chin
ney, in the upper part of the house. The
building was entirely consumed. The fur
niture was mainly removed with the assist
ance of the neighbors. The house was in
sured.
We IRE credibly informed that man
was sent to the railroad shops to ask that
an alarm might be given, but Tor some I'M
explained reason the the whistle was
not blown, and but few of the firemen
were apprised of the fire. 1t is very evil
dent that the village at an early moment
must provide itself with proper fire alarm
for its protection.

Editor Of Tie Rutland Globe Noticing
an article in the Rutland Herald entitled an
assault in Hnbbardton, with your consent
would like to explain the matter as it is.
This man, Orrin L. Brown, came to my
house and wanted to stay few days.until
he could get chance to work, saying he
would work for his board ! told him
had nothing for HIM to do, only the saw
was at my house three weeks. In the mean
time he wanted TO hire to me for eight
months, at 500 per month. | told him |
should not pay that amount. He then said
he would work for $50 per month but
should not do as much work for that price
us he should for twenty-six dollars. told
him did not want him at either price, for
had made up my mind to get along until
haying without a man. The day he said
he was going to Rutland l told him
would make him present of dollar. In
stead of going out Of town he went to MIR.
M. j. Webster's to work for his board.
He sent me word he was going to thrash
5000 out of my hide.
The first time / met him after was at the
school meeting. He there notified me what
he was intending to do, following me Out
of the meeting before its close, lodged
by him and went back into the school
house. After the meeting was out he fol
lowed me to one of the neighSors in the op
posite direction from his boarding place
and there he made his demands and threats
again and struck me twice, and then III
turned partly around, and took hold of ,
four-foot stick of wood to strike me with
At this time hit him and started fo
home. As he came in contact with me
did the best could to keep him from in
turing me. lie was intending to seriously
iniure me no doubt and leave town tina
night, for he had on all his clothing, con
sisting of four shirts, two coats, two pal
of pants. In consequence of this affray h
did not leave town but became boarde
at Mr.. NJ. J. Webster's at the expense o
the town. He calls himself Orln e. Brow
and is about 20 years of age. The Rutlan'
Herald is requested to copy the correc
version of the "assault."

1t is needless to state that the Steintody

encomiums as the "King of Reed Instru-

Messrs. Cuett g. Sons of Troy, N. Y, have

yourself of the opportunity and secure one
of these famous instruments. Mr.. Tracy
will offer several of these instruments on

notice will be given, and we dare say the
chance to personally become acquainted
with their merit will be fully improved.
