The Masquerade.

severe weather and threatened storm
kept many away who expected to drive
in from the country and from surround
ing towns, else the crowd would have
been too great for pleasure, As it was,
the hall was we'll filed and dancing
was kept up until about three in the
morning. The assortment of costumes
was guod, so good that we shall not
attempt to describe them. The music
by Carrs orchestra was excellent, and
the general management could not
have been better,

A Sad Death.

This community was shocked on
Sunday evening to learn that MIR.
Thos. Sbaughnessy had been found
dead near the centre Of the city. The
facts as we have learned them are
that the deceased was with some
friends drinking on Sunday, and was
apparently too much under the infiu-
ence of liquor to walk. These friends
helped him to the side of the meat
market building, north of the north
west corner of the square, and left him
sitting Oh the ground, and leaning
against the side of the building. This
was between one and two o'clock Sun
day afternoon. About five o'clock the
unfortunate man was discovered, and
was dead when found. The deceased
was formerly citizen of this city, but
for several years has lived in Kansas.
He returned here few weeks ago.
He was liked and respected by all,
and his sad and sudden death was uni.
versally depiored. He leaves q wife
and three children.-Marshal Mo.
