the value of the lumber used to build the
boathouse. Some few are badly scared.
Some of the members are out of the country,
which will make the amount come heavier
on those who, are here. 1t is rumored that
an offer has been received for the building,
good figure being offered The claim is not
very heavy one, and if the members all
chip in they will not feel the drain much.
There has been misunderstanding in
reference to the appearance of Frederick
Warde here. A letter which he sent was de-
layed, and there was uncertainty about the
date However, he will be here on Monday
evening the 80 inst, when he viii present
damon and Pythias,' - in which he excels.
1t is no fault of either Mr.. Warde or any one
here that there has been any delay in the
getting up of the posters. Those who have
read the GLOBE notice of the entertainments
given by him in st. Paul the past week, will
know that there is treat in store for them
tomorrow evening.
Another narrow escape yesterday, besides
the one in the morning. In the afternoon
pile of wood, some twenty feet in height,
belonging to Joseph Wolf, and built up be-
Side his residence part at the brewery, fell
endwise of the pile on to the sidewalk and
street. A Mrs. Quinn was passing at the
time, and she picked up little child that was
nearly under the falling wood, and both had
narrow escape. Mrs. Butts, wife of Post
master Butts, was driving past in buggy
with her little child, when the noise caused
the horse to bolt, and having TO hold both
child and horse, she was much frightened
lest they might be thrown out. She managed
the horse splendidly, and nothing was broken.
Mr.. Wolf had force of men at work getting
the wood in position, and from the way they
are now doing the work, it will be perfectly
safe.
Yesterday Warden Reed got moved into
his old premises in the state prison, and very
comfortable quarters they are. The Office is
well fitted up with plenty of light and ven
tilation. The walls are pure, white finish,
and the ceiling is perfectly plain with gas
burner in the center. The room is not fully
furnished yet, but when everything is in, it
will be most complete. The inspectors
room is handsome one, having an excell-
ent carpet and furniture. The sofa and
chairs are leather finished. yet there is no
extravaganza in any part There is no sur
plus, every article being needed. Every

| in few days, and the changes made are a
great improvement on the former building.
1t may now be said to be fireproof. The san
itary changes are most marked, and the sew
erage made perfect.
An accident, which might have terminated
fatally, occurred yesterday morning at the
earth pit near the bill board on Myrtle street
1t appears that Richard Sutton, VIM. O'Brien
and Swede named Tolback were at work
| getting out earth to put on the broken stone
just put on Myrtle, between Second and
Third streets, when some fifteen or twenty
| tons of the earth fell, caused by tunneling
and the rains of the previous evening.
| O'Brien and Tol5ack threw down their tools,
narrowly escaping, but Sutton was not so
fortunate, as he was caught by the falling
mass, and buried up to his neck. The men
| got to his rescue as soon as possible, but the
tools being under the earth, it took them
some time to get him out. Sutton had a ter
rible squeeze, but it is not thought that any
| of his bones are broken or that he is inter-
nally injured. He was sent to his home, a
short distance from where the accident hap
peped, in carriage. Yesterday afternoon
he was doing well. The men that escaped
were badly frightened.
mere Is matter that Is agitating the
public mind, and that is, more school &C
commodations. The schools are crowded,
so much so, that the time in several of the
departments has to be divided, different
classes attending at different hours. The
only remedywe can see, is to have another
building erected, and that building should be
for the High school. Should that be done, il
would give five more rooms in the High
school building. The High school should be
in building separate from the Grammar
and Public schools, as their hours are differ
ent, and they leave at an earlier hour than
the others. If the old court house lot could
be secured, it would be very central one.
1t is certain that more school room must be
secured, and the building of a High school is
required. At present the pupils in the High
school have to ascend and descend sixty-five
steps each time they attend the classes OF
the science master, and such climbing is be-
ginning to tell on those who attend. This is
Il subject worthy of consideration, and we
have no doubt our school board will be able
TO grapple with it successfully. The High
school should have four roomed building
and then the class rooms will be convenient
to each other
