Died.

Little Charley Staley, aged six
years, youngest child of Mr.. f. d.
Staley, died suddenly Monday night
of diptheria. He was sick but
short time, and his death was en-
tirely unlocked for. He was a bright
merry little fellow, the Pet of the
household, and his sudden taking off
has filled the hearts of his parents
with unspeakable sorrow. They have
the sympathy of the community in
their irreparable loss, and may find
consolation in the fact that he pass
ed from earth to join the angel bands
above

slowly, and if he meets with no re-
lapse, is now in a fair way to full and

improvements in strinesville.

Strinesville is keeping pace with
the older portion of the town in the
work of Improvements. Nearly the
whole line of the pavement on Queen
street North of the railroad has been
laid, and we notice that Mr.. VIM.
Williams has erected a brick store
house on North Queen Street,
and directly opposite Mr.. E.
G. Williams, Jr., is erecting frame
building with nice store room on
the first floor. Nearly opposite the
18th Ward School building Mr.. VIM.
Baily is erecting IA very fine brick
dwelling, and quite a handsome brick
structure is also in process of cree
tion on High street, nearly opposite
the 4th Ward School House. Further
out we noticed several frame build
ings all of which goes to show that
our town is still progressing.

crash of worlds Tuesday night, the
chimney that adorns the ssCity
Hall (" wherein the Mayor smokes
his pipe of peace and dispenses justice
event. handed, was not spared, but
shared the fate of many others. Like
the house builded ON the sand, the
wind blew, the storm beat upon it.,
and it fell, and sad was the fall
thereof, my countrymen. It's neither
safe or comfortable to have a fire in
a building minus chimney, and the
City HALL was a deserted palace yes
terday. The venerable Mayor sought
more congenial quarters for his ac-
customed smoke and siestd Sergeant
Carper closed up his books and hunt
ed the sunny-side of the market
house to find protection against the
wind and cold. Officer Fraley stood
on the Everett House corner viewing
the magnificent ruins of the " City
Hall" chimney, with regret and sor-
row depicted in every lineament Of
his weather-beaten face, and sadly
reminding one of the picture Of Ma
poleon on the Island of st. Helena.
The City Clerk, overlooking with
memories Of the many pleasant honrs
spent within it's tessellated walls,
passed by, gazed for moment upon
the scattered bricks of the ancient
chimney, and passed on to give vent
to his pent-up grief. A member of
Council from the 1st Ward heard of
the disaster, and at once repaired to
the scene. The spacious hall wherein
the ''city dads" are wont to air their
rhetoric and their eloquence was en-
tirely deserted. The turbulent winds
having lifted its smoke stack, there
was no fire in the stove, and instead
of the comfortable and CHEEKY air
which had pervaded the Hall and
given it palatial appearance, there
was naught but chilliness and gloom.
The Councilman stood within its sa-
cred precincts and listened to the
erratic wind which battered the win
dow shutters and whistled through
the crevices, evidently
Feeling like one who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted.
Whose lights are fled, whose garlands dead,
And all but him departed"
We are glad to be able to state
that the damage to this Centennial
city building is nothing more than
the loss of its smokestack. Had the
storm-king been less unrelenting,
and dealt less tenderly with this sa-
cred relic of the days Of Noah, our
venerable Mayor and the City Faith
ers would have had no place in which
to poke their official heads. AS it is,
half dozen new brick and shovel
full of mortar will suffice to repair
the damage, and in a day or two we
hope to see the smoke again curling
gracefully from it's replaced smoke
stack, and all the city officials COM
fcTtably and quietly occupying their
accustomed places within its spa
cious walls.

arrested at it.
