Anti.Dn21a Lena1ke.

A committee of the Anti-Mill Dam
League, composed of farmers living along
the banks Of the Crawfsh River who
claim to be damaged by overfowage caus-
ed by the Milford dam, is endeavoring
to raise among the members an amount
sufficient to purchase the mill property of
N. S. Greene & Son at Milford, with a
view of taking out the dam should they
obtain possession of it. The amount ask
ed for the dam property, separate. from the
mill and buildings, is $4,000, or $4O,-
900 for mill and all. An assessment of
rs cents per acre upon all the lands dam
aged by the overflow it is estimated would
be sufficient to make the purchase and
many are of the opinion that this would
be the easiest way for the farmers out of
the difficulty they claim to be in through
high water The Anti-Dam League CON-
prises $50 farmers.

sisting of the giant and six Liliputians,
gave their charming operetta of Jack the
Giant Killer to large audience last even
ing, and were most enthusiastically re-
ceived The contrast in size between the
eight-foot monster Fin Ma Coon and Ad-
mira Dott, the % inch giant killer was
ludicrous in the extreme, and their very
appearance almost without action was
sufficient to set the house in roar. Miss
Jennie Quigley, Jacks afficianced, and
the heroine of the piece, is beautiful
little lady, with fine soprano voice and
an indisputable talent for acting, which
she does in the quaintest and archest
manner possible. Mis- Eliza Nestal is an
other little darling, and both sang and
played her part of Gertrude, Arthur's af-
fanced, we'll In short, all the company
played WE'LL and afforded the audience in
finite satisfaction through the evening"

pear at Turner Hall next Saturday both

Killed bu LfQIat2ai9aO.


Last Thursday morning about seven
o'clock sharp thunder storm broke over
the city and while at its height the light
ming struck the old City Hotel near the
Gas Works in the First ward, in which
some men were at work at the time chang
ing it over for new machine shop for
Kunert, Dornfeld and Janeck. The cleo
trio current passed down by the chimney
into a room on the east end of the build
ing and instantly killed William STEM
>gler, resident of the Second ward. John
D0rRfeld and and w. Korn, also at work
in the building, were stunned by the bolt,
the shock Mr.. Dornfeld sustained being
quite severe one, but from which he
has recovered sufficiently to be around
again, although he thinks he will feel the
effects for long time to come The
lightning tore out large holes at both ends
of the building, demolished couple OF
chimneys and ripped off a number OF
shingles. Stengler was carpenter by
trade and by hard work had acquired
quite competency. He was about forty
years old and leaves wife and two young
daughters to mourn his sudden and un-
timely death.

To SCHOOL BOARDS OF GRADED SCHOOLS

full study of the last paragraph of Chap
ter 69, Laws of 1882, leads to the conclusion
that the comments under said Chapter,
in the Circular of Laws of 1882, relating
to public schools, should read as follows:
By this act the school officers, whose
terms of office would have otherwise ex-
pired in 1882, will continue to hold the
Offices until the annual meeting in June,
1883, and SO those, whose terms would
expire in each OF the two following years,
will hold the offices until the annual
meeting in June following the year in
which their terms would otherwise ex-
pire.
There will be no election of school of
fcers, in any district, under this act, in
1882, except to fill vacancies.
