The Fourth was observed by the peo-
pie of our town with sundry exercises
of interest. At an early hour on the
3rd., some of our people began prepar-
ing accommodations for the exercises
to take place the next day. Before
night commodious bowery was erect
ed on the corner OF the street. On
the 4th this was occupied by a very
quiet company while they piled the
light fantastic toe, till the approach of
Sunday adinonished them that the ex-
ercises should cease, The boys
whose patriotism could not be RESTRAIN
ed by the quiet inspiration of the ter
pischorean art, made the air reverbate
by explosions of gunpowder.
During the same time some of the
members of the Sunday School held n
quiet picnic in a bowery at the school
house and had a very enjoyable time.
The people of Maple Forrest also
held n picnic in the vicinity of H. s.
Bucks, and claim they had the most
enjoyable time ever experienced in the
town. The number present is estima-
ted at from two to three hundred.
There. too, was heard the sound of
music and dancing. Everybody was
happy and the company dispersed I'M
der the inspiration of mutual good
feeling.

Jersey City, Nov. 25.-The four-story
frame structure No. 4, Morris street,
with adjoining machine chop, a two-story
rookery, fell this moining at ILLS, and
buried in the debris at least half a dozen
persons. The building was condemned

Mary Schensky, aged s, was killed out
right.
Maggie Smith, aged Z, had several ribs
broken and is in a critical condition.
The building is a complete wreck.
The groans of the dying can be heard
above the hum of the voices and the
noise of the workmen. The fire depart
ment has been called out and Is assisting
the laborers III removing the debris.
The tenement was owned by John
Mitchell. In the rear of the fallen build
Tags stand two 3-story frame structures
which were not occupied. The scene of
the disaster is surrounded by large
crowds of enquiring friends, whose cries
are heartrending in the extreme.
Maggie Smith, who was removed to the
hospital dice q short time after her ar
rival.
at 1870 a lad about ten years old was
dug ont from under the charrei logs
and to all appearances life was extinct.
Policeman Finley was at the scene at
the time the accident happened, and he
states thatat least two dozen women
aud children were running in and ont of
the building all the morning carrying
away wood. Hs did not know how
many were in the building at the time
1t fell. There are all kinds of rumors
as to the loss of life.
A large force is now working on the
ruins, but so far no more bodies have
been recovered.
Stephen Wallenski, aged 5 years,
Frederick Prugge, aged 6 years and an
unknown mi are believed to be

safe crackers in Dakota.

Egan, Nov. 23-Our town was visited
again last night by safe robbers. They
drilled into the postotice safe but failed
to sttlke the right place to sever the
bolt, and were unsuccessful in the at
tempt. Had they succeeded in affect
ing AN entrance they would have felt
like kicking themselves all over town Tor
foollng away their time, as MIR. Herren
does not keep any money in the safe,
and only a few dollars in stamps was all
they would have got. They drilled into
John Hohart's safe, broke the look and
got Only $l.50 for their trouble. They
then went to John Paul's lumber Office,
where they found the safe unlocked, but
nothing III it except d few papers, which
were scattered promiscuously over the
hool,
1t is useless TOR anyone to fool away
time in this town cracking safes, fol
there is but one in the town that con
tains any money ut night, and that is thu
one belonging to our bankers, Geo. NJ
Smith & Go. This one has a time lock
and George says he would be willing t.
let the devils work on it for twenty-foul
hours and then they couldn't get in. AL
of our business men have their none,
In that safe when night comes, conse
quent y feel perfectly safe.

men but none of the shots took

men. They resolved to lynch Barrett
