ent buildings. The new structure is to be

There were several sudden deaths IN
the city during Saturday night and Sun
day, the most noteworthy of which was tn
of Mrs. Patrick Burke, on Fourth street,
who, without previous illness, died about
II o'clock Saturday night. She had at
tended to her usual duties during the day
and was in apparent good health. 1t is
thought that the cause of her death was
heart disease. Services were held over her
remains at ST. Patrick's church Yesterday
and they were conveyed to Villa Ridge In
the afternoon, for nterment.
Yesterday Mr.. J. B. Reed made large
shipment of his fine machinery up the
river. The reputation of Mr., Reeds es-
Enlistment is rapidly spreading over the
country. 1t is certainly one of the complet-
est OF its kind-one of the most important
in this city and turns out The most perfect
work with great dispatch. People who
have not visited the shops would be sur.
prised to be brought suddenly into it while
the glittering machinery is all in motion,
and wonder that they had been so long ig-
norant of its extent.
"A number of citizens in all parts of
the city, who have taken much pains this
spring with their flower gardens, woke up
yesterday and the day before to find that
some one had invaded their premises and
made dastardly raid upon the beautiful
flower beds and shrubbery. Many valuable
plants were stolen, rudy torn up by the
roots, and others were trampled under foot.
It will perhaps be difficult to discover who
the rascally perpetrators OF these outrages
are, but It will be some satisfaction to
know that the officers are on the lookout
for them.
Mr.. Linegar thinks that the Illinois
legislature will not get through with its
work until the 18th of June. 1t has now
been in session more than four months, and
has sent but eleven bills to the governor for
his signature. While the number of bills
passed is no standard by which to measure
the value of legislative services-indeed, it
is often safe to measure the value of ser
vices as inversely to the number of bills
passed-it must puzzle the gentleman at
Springfield to give satisfactory account OF
theil stewardship since the beginning OF
the session in January.
--Messrs. Al. Lewis, W. r. Halliday and
one or two other young would-be sportsmen
went to Kentucky on fishing tour on
Friday. On their way to the First lake
they met man with big lot of fish caught
with net and they bought the fish for Ss.40
and came home, Here they exhibited their
stock to crowds of wondering friends as the
results OF their skill with the tackle and as
proof of their assertion that
fish in First lake were as
thick aud as anxious to bite as fees on a
yaller dorg's back This was cruel. Dozens
of fellows were fish-struc and spent Sun
day or Saturday most delightfully."- in wading
through mud knee-deep and coming back
without having seen fish except in magma
ton and unfortunately without have met
a man who had been more successful than
they. The laugh is not all one way
though.
