Sunkep Cities.
Review.

There are numerous legends of sunken
cities are scattered through Ireland,
some of which are Of most romantic orr
gin. Thus, the SPACE now covered by
the lake of Inchiquin is reported, in
former days, to have been . populous
and Aourishing city; but, for some dread
full and unabsolved crime, tradition says,
it was hurled beneath the deep waters.
The dark spirit" Of its king still resides
in one of the caverns which still border
the lake. and every seven years, at mid
night, he issues forth, mounted ON his
white charger, and makes the complete
circuit OF the lake, q performance which
he is to continue until the silver hoofs Of
his steed are worn out, when the curse
will be removed, and the city reappear
once more in ell its bygone condition.
The peassntry affirm that even now, on o
calm night. one may clearly see the tow
ers and spires cleaning through the
clear water. With this legend We may
compare one told by Barton in his "His-
tory Of Ireland" In Ulster is lake 80 900
PAGES long and 1900 broad. out Of
which ariseth the noble northern river
called Bane. 1t is believed by the in

Artists Reunion.

The reception given by Mrs. Stanhope
to her artist friends and pupils at her home
in Seville, Ohio, was an occasion which
will long be remembered by those who
were present, as one replete with pleasure
and profit, both in a social and an artistic
point of view. The guests who went by
rail were met by carriages and con-
veyed to Mrs. Stanhope's home, which is
pleasantly situated upon the bank of the
river, and surrounded by hills. which give
a pleasing variety to the landscape, and
render it fit subject for the artists brush.
The interior of the house was beautifully
decorated with golden-rod and trailing
vines, and profusion of flowers.
After sumptuous lunch, several of the
party went upon a sketching expedition,
finally selecting, as point from which to
sketch, the gaul of Capt. Bates, the giant
of Medina county. Much interest was
manifested in the giants house, in sitting
upon his chairs, examining his large car.
rage and admiring his huge horses.
After dinner a pleasant evening was
spent in conversation, enlivened by social
games, one of which was suddenly inter-
rupted by burst of music from the Sc
vile Cornet Band, which with blazing
torches stood before the house and render
ed several fine selections. That the com
pliment was fully appreciated was evl-
denced by the frequent and hearty ap-
plause. In this connection we can not re.
frain from mentioning the dress worn by
Mr.. Frost, which was in itself work of
art, being made of fine silk boiling cloth,
painted by her own hand in pink roses,
leaves and buds.
Among the guests were Mr.. Seaman, OF
Cleveland; Mrs. Frost, of Tiffin; Mr.. and
Mrs Sawtell, Mrs. Kinnison, Mrs. Noble,
Miss Gannett and Miss Warner, of Wei.
lington; Mr.. and Mrs. Dyer and Mr.. and
Mrs. Stebbins, of Creston; Mr.. johnson,
Mr.. and Mr.. Mattison, Mr.. Cliff Mattison
and Miss Hulburt, of Seville. Regrets
were received and read from A. NJ. Willard
R. Way Smith and Mr.. Waters, of Cleve.
land; Mrs. Santley and Miss Mary Cady,
of Wellington, and others.

dotting the pastures, intent only upon the

momento of the day.
Some of US were amateurs, and this was
our first experience in sketching, SO what
mattered it that the colors were not true
to nature, and that the sketch could not be
called a work of art.
Mrs. Stanhope proved herself a queen
among hostesses, and before separating the
company gave. her a vote Of thanks, and
each one promised, as more tangible ex
preston of their thanks, to give her &
picture of their own work. After dinner
most of the guests returned to their homes
carrying with them pleasant memories o.

determination to always live up to the
spirit of their motto, always put up tn,

ELYRIA.
On Saturday morning at an early hour
the quiet of our usually peaceful city was
disturbed by the rumor that foul murder
had been perpetrated during the night, and
that the body of the man killed was lying
in front of VIM. Miller's, on West Avenue
Before we arrived at the place it had been
removed to the undertaking rooms OF
Morse Bros, on Cheapside, where it was
viewed by large number of persons
during the day. Meanwhile the officers
were busy looking for the murderer, and
arrested man by the name of Pomroy
who was on a drunk with the murdered
man during the day and evening.
On inquiry we learned the murdered
mans name was Jimmy Ryan, a character
well known here, as he was usually drunk
Later in the day young man named
Robert Bruce was arrested, and the evi
dence was so strong against him that finally
he admitted killing Ryan in selfdefense
but it is the general opinion here that he
attempted to rob Ryan of about $50 that he
was known to have in his possession when
he started for his home in Carlisle.
From the nature of the ground where
the foul deed occurred it was evident that
no struggle had taken place. The muir.
dered man was stabbed in the neck, just
back of the left ear, and after being struck
walked from Fifth street to Mr.. Miller's
between Third and Fourth streets.
The man who did the deed is scarcely
twenty-one years old and has always borne
fair reputation, although he was rather
wild. At his preliminary examination be.
fore Squire Dolittle he put in plea OF
selfdefense, and will be tried at the next
term of court. The money that Ryan had
can not be found, and it is thought that
Bruce has hid it. The killing was done
with an ordinary jack-knife, somewhat
rusty. 1t is thought by many that Bruce
will swing. DAN.

Telephone Items.

Nine men are now at work rebuilding
this Exchange.
We have several new subscribers to add
when the lines are completed, and would
suggest that this will be a good time for
any desiring instruments to put them in.
Everything will be in first-class style and
so as to secure the best possible working.
The line to Oberlin viii be transferred
to the street either east or west of the one
where it now is, in order to get rid of the
induction which so seriously interferes
with communicating to outside points.
But for that very satisfactory conversation
could be held with Mansfield, Toledo,
Cleveland, Akron and most towns in North
em Ohio
1t is becoming almost the rule with sub
scribers not to ring off when through con-
versing Please remember and save your
selves and us misunderstanding and trouble.
The lightning plugs are giving some
trouble by subscribers forgetting to dis
place them after a storm. When you are
unable to get the Exchange at any time,
take out the plug and put it in your pocket
and ring again. The bell will not call the
Exchange if the plug is between metal
plates on top of bell box in any position.
1t must be in hole in wood back corner of
bell box. In fair weather it will be as
well to keep the plug in convenient
drawer.
Subscribers will get the best results if
when talking they will place the mouth
within two or three inches of and square
before the transmitter and talk directly in
to it in good firm tone of voice, not shout
ing, at the same time pressing the trumpet
hard over the ear and there will be no
trouble once in hundred times in hearing
or being understood, even in the most un-
favorable conditions of the atmosphere.
Careful observation has convinced us that
900 out of 1000 complaints could be obvia-
ted by careful study and use of instru-
ments by subscribers. Call up your neigh

Correct date is not obtained, but it is

lady being Mrs. Anna Zehring, of Elyria.
They have gone to housekeeping on Erie

One of the pleasantest events of the sea-
son was the anniversary and birthday of
Mrs. Markham, at the NJ. E. Parsonage last
Wednesday evening. Twenty five years
ago, in the old Methodist Church in Akron,
DR.. L. A. Markham and Miss Sarah Writ
were joined in marriage. Five years later
he entered the work of the ministry, and
has officiated at 1S2 funerals, received into
Church membership 1,s00 persons, made
12, 900 pastoral calls, and raised 81 900 to
build churches and parsonages. The
weather was very unfavorable, although
the evening was a success. Their pleasant
home was made never more attractive, and
the rooms above and below swarmed with
mutual friends pervaded with the spirit of
sociability, requiring no added effort on
the part of the bride and groom to make
Lfhe evening enjoyable.
