far hard, l.o5A for No. l, 1.04A for No. 2, 95Ac
for No. 3, 921ac for No. and SO for rejected.
Foreign and European advices continue very
favorable, but speculation seems to be the prin-
clpal factor in the advance Flour is in good
demand, but at prices fully 50@75c per barrel
below Its costs to manufacture, and common
spring X sold at 425. Coarse grains shared in
the advance and general excitement, closing at

Madame JNHO2tscHeE.

The appearance of Madame Janauschek,
the well known tragedienne, and her
talented company, at Turner Hall, We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings, of last
week, called out large audiences on both
occasions. Madame Janauschek main
tanned her high reputation as an actress in
both the characters she represented, that
of Marie Stuart on Wednesday evening
and of Lady Macbeth on Thursday even
ing, receiving splendid support in each
play from her suberb troupe 1t is no
exaggeration to say that it was the finest
theatrical treat ever presented to our citi-
zens and the patronage extended was of
such a character as to indicate that per-
formances of a high order can receive
paying support in this community.

The contracts for the work of building
the piers and abutments for the two new
iron bridges was let by the Council Mon
day evening to the lowest bidders. This
is step in the right direction although
not one always expected to come from
our city fathers. Many of the taxpayers
may ask themselves when hearing of this
commendable action by the Board why
the city printing last spring was not dealt
out in the same manner namely, to the
lowest bidder and not given to the high
est bidder as was actually the case, there
by robbing the property owners to bolster
up the lettering organ of political fac
ton.

Residence Burned.

Sunday night about II o'clock fire
was discovered in kitchen addition to the
residence of Dr. R. M Wiggenton on ely
man street, First ward, and in few min
utes the entire house was a mass of flames.
The Silsby engine was promptly on hand
soon followed by the Ahrens and both en-
tered upon the work of suppressing the
fire. The only supply of water to be OBJ
tanned was from the river and the great
distance intervening prevented continu-
GUS flow through the hose. This gave the
flames ample opportunity to do their de-
structive work and in short time there
was nothing left to tell the tale but smol-
dering ruins. Before the fire got to it's
full height nearly all the contents from
the lower story were taken out; some if
the furniture and articles however, re-
ceiving considerable damage in removal.
1t was found impossible to save little if
anything from up stairs involving a seri-
Gus loss in household furniture and wear
ing apparel. Assto the origin of the fire
nothing is known save that it undoubtedly
commenced in the kitchen part. No fire
having been in the kitchen since morn
ing adds to the mysteriousness of the case.
The building was insured in the Insur-
ance Company of North America for
$4,000, VIM. L. Norris, Agent, and the
contents in the London & Liverpool
Globe for $500, Calvin Cheney, Agent.
