Letter from Bay View: The notable
building event at Bay View this year is
Evelyn Hall, a palatial summer home
for the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. IL was the gift OF Miss Evelyn
Peters, of Manstee, in whose honor it
is named. ~ is three stories high. Tho
first floor consists of a reception and
committee and lecture rooms, where tho
w. c. L. U. School of Methods is held,
not counting balconies and piaZzas. The
second floor has two elegant parlors for
the exclusive use of the members of tho
union, besides twelve elegant sleeping
apartments. One suite is retained for
the National President. The third story
comprises sixteen sleeping apartments.
The hall is reserved for members of tho
union. The lawn in front is nicely
sodded and ornamented with flower beds.
Perhaps nowhere in the United States
has the union pleasanter or more prac-
teal home.

"A disastrous fire started in the lum-
Der yard of Owen, Hutchinson &c Co.,
in the northern part OF Saginaw,
which communicated 10 the planingmill
and lumber yards of III. Il. Nease, Son &c
Co., and thence TO the lumber yard
Of John G.. Owen and the saw-mill, salt
block, and lumber yard of Brown &c
Ryan, all of which were totally de-
stroyed. The losses include planning
mill, saw-mill, two salt blocks, four drill
houses, 1000 barrels of salt, 10000, 900
feet Of lumber, ten dwelling houses, 12,-
600 cords of Stove-wood, and other prop
erty; also sixty-siX railroad cars, valued
at $40, 900. The total loss is 1915, 200,
and the total insurance Sls5,0OO.
A little bitter with the sweet is Of
tentmes good teaching, says letter
from Saginaw. In other words, Saginaw
people have for some time been highly
elated over the good effects that would
accrue from consolidation, and without
stopping to think of some of the posi-
bilities of bitches in the carrying out OF
the many good things promised as re-
suit of the union of the two cities, they
receive with much establishment the
news that the question of erecting a city
hall at a cost not exceeding S225, 900 is
temporarily in doubt, by reason of bill
OF restraint being filed il the matter in
| the Circuit Court by L. w. Carlisle,
prominent East Slider. The case will
undoubtedly wind up in the Supreme
Court, and many days must necessarily
go by before the question is settled.
Detroit Journal: The seacoast sum-
mer resorts must take a back seat on the
old sea serpent fairy tale. People in the
vicinity of Traverse Bay have seen the
serpent that has been haunting the sea-
coast so long, and describe him as vary
ing all the way from 40 to 700 feet long.

ried at Ann Arbor last week. The groom
