A queer piece of municipal economy is
that Of shutting off the street gas light
entirely from the vicinity Of York and
Warren streets since the new and elegan
lamp was erected there as an advertise
ment of the Academy of Music. The new
lamp, while a pretty ornament, naturally
does not throw out as much light as
regular street lamp, and after the per
formances at the Academy the light is
put out, leaving that vicinity in almost
total darkness.
Work has at last been commenced on
the repaving Of Grove street.

their recent primaries. Especially to one
who spent two hours in hustiing all
around where a certain Ring primary
was said to have been held in the lower
part of the First district without finding
any trace of one except ticket, does
this seem preposterous. People who
lived next door, saloon keepers who kept
on the opposite corner, and store keepers
throughout the neighborhood were sur

THE passengers on one of the trains
from Wayerley last evening were treated
TO an exhibition OF unladyltke conduct
the like of which is seldom seen. Two
well dressed ladies occupied whole seats

but neatly dressed mechanic, carrying 4
babe in his arms and followed by q tired
looking woman and three sleepy children,

the seat and hold the baby. This seat S

ode to little Phil Lynch, the boss drum
