MORE WORK OF THE LIGHTNING.
A schooner supposed to have come from
Port Jefferson was struck by the squaIl off
Bridgeport harbor Sunday morning and
lost her main boom, bowsprit and yawl
boat. She anchored for short time off
the light and then proceeded towards New
York.
Lightning Sunday morning about six
O'Clock entered the Danbury and Norwalk
railroad station at Georgetown on a tele-
graph wire. The building was set on fire,
and but for the assistance rendered by the
neighbors, would have been burnt to the
aground. The postofice, which was stu
ated in the same building, was badly dam
aged by fire.
The barn burned in Bridgeport Sunday
belonged to David S. Beach. The fire
totally destroyed the barn and most of its
contents. The horses and carriages were
taken out, but the feed, hay, etc., were
burned. The family of William Nichols
occupied the barn and worked for Mr..
Beach. They lost everything, both furni-
ture and clothing. The greenhouses were
damaged by smoke, and the end of the ono
nearest the barn was burned. The east end
of the dwelling house was badly scorched,
but. by almost superhuman efforts, the
house was saved from destruction. The
plants in the greenhouses were damaged
somewhat by smoke. The loss is covered
by insurance. The fire started in the ice
house in the northeast corner Of the barn.
The cause Of the fire is a mystery, but it is
supposed to be accidental, as Mr.. Beach
believes he has not an enemy in the world.
He named his loss at "a, 600.

Pacific Short Line to Cross Wyoming
This Yea.

General Manager Hill of the Sioux
City and Ogden railway, now called the
Pacific Short line says the road will open
up a new and rich country and that it is
bound to be a paying investment, 1t is
to be built, he says, from Sioux City to
Ogden, a distance of $50 miles. The
company was recently organized and
Wendell Goodwin, a well-known New
York financiet. placed at its head. 1t is
to be completed to Ogden by January l,
1891, and will reduce the distance be.
tween Ogden and Sioux City over one
hundred miles.
The new line will run north of the
| MON Pacific about one hundred miles
until it is half way across Wyoming. 1t
will then defect to the southwest and run
into Ogden. Its grades will be much less
than any road in that latitude, and the
curvatures reduced to a minimum. 1t
runs through an open country and cost
comparatively little to build. Contracts
have already been let for the construction
of l26 miles from Sioux City to 0'Neill.
Of this, eighty-two miles have been
graded and the necessary bridges bull.
The iron and other material necessary to
complete the 1876 miles are now piled
along the ronLe.

One of the Finest.

The finest outi. that has lett Wyoming
in the saddle line was seen at the estab
ment Of f. A. Meanea and consisted of
saddle, bride, chaps, spurs and quirt,
the purchaser being II. X. Bogert, whose
home is in Flushing, Long Island, New
York and who owns a cattle ranch near
Cisca, Emory county. Utah.
The saddle was the one which was ex-
hibited at the fair and took the prem ium.
1t was full stamped with genuine silver
trimmings and was a beauty, combining
style, strength and durability.
The bride was braided hair, German
silver trimmed and valued at S2j 90,
with silver inlaid bit worth $751; 90.
The chaps. spurs and quirt were in
keeping with the above.

A day before the late city election a
gentleman deeply interested in the i'm
pending contest, called at Judge Berg
mans Office and made a remarkable re
quest. OF course he was much excited,
but his mind must have been wandering
over in Albany county when he implored
the Judge to furnish him a list OF the
persons who had failed to pay poll tax.
This request was on a par with one
which came by post to j. X. Jeffrey
when he was county clerk. A cowboy
who contemplated embarkiug in business
wanted a list OF the unrecorded brands.

That Pious Old Fraud.

A Sioux CITY telegram says that the
pious old fraud described at length in last
Sundays LEADER is the smooth rascal
who swindled a bank of that city out of
$500 last April. In Cheyenne and at
Sidney. Neb., and Sterling, Colo, the
operator gave his name as A. Benton,
and said he was a capitalist from Salem.
Ore. He tried to cash as7, 900 forged
draft here and in Nebraska. He was 10
Gated by Marshal Schnitger, and special
telegrams sem from this place gave bank
men the tip. The swindler's name Is B.
Simpson, and he came to Sioux City with
letters from Eastern preachers and fnan
ciers. He has been taken from Sidney to
Iowa.

IN THE SOCIAL WHIRL.
The Queen Anne Club Held an
Interesting Session.
Uniform Rank Party and SeiiiGk
Organ Recital.
Delightful High Tea to Lady Friends
by Mrs. Hicks.

In a social way the past week cannot bt
said to have been hilariously gay. The
opening of the legislative session and the
city elections may have dispelled wishes
and plans for ~pleasurlngs. Whatever
cause the social swim has been unusually
placid.
On Monday evening the Queen Anne
club held its regular meeting at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Major Whipple. Interest
ing papers on the life of Lafayette and
contemporary events in Americas history
were read by Mrs. Hurlbut and Miss
Hebard. The sentiment roll for the
evening elected a contribution from a
male friend of the society as follows:
II you are anxious to shine
In the literary line,
And be noted for your culture rare,
Join, If you're not a horrid man,
The Fortnlghtly or Queen Anne;
You'll then be famed for learning everywhere,
You can then discuss polemics,
History, art, philosophy, ceramics,
And analyze the w%hichness OF the what,
While we stupid men will listen,
And imagine how we'd glisten
If we only knew one-halt that you'd forgot.
A pleasant party was given on Wednes-
day evening by the members of the Uni
form Rank Knights of Pythias. The
party was the second OF a series of hops
wich will be continued throughout the
winter.
On Thursday evening Mr.. Sellick's
second organ recital at st. Msrk's Epis-
copal church, was attended by a large
number OF visitors. The features OF the
evening were the vocal solos, Jesus
Lover of My Soul" and Nearer My
God to Thee" by Mrs. Glover. The Sc
l%ections by Mr.. Selleck were much ad-
mired.
Mrs. T. B. Hicks entertained a party
Of nine ladies at a high tea on Friday
afternoon. Tea was served on a table
tastefully decorated with smilax and car
nations. At each plate was a bouquet OF
Bennett roses to be retained by the guests
as souvenirs OF the occasion. The re-
freshments were elaborate and elegant.
The guests were Mrs. Guiterman, Mrs.
Reel, Mrs. VanTassell, Mrs. Brewster,
Mrs. Heath, Mrs, Kent, Mrs. Barkwell.

There was much disappointment last
evening at the announcement OF the post
ponement OF the Fort Russell theatricals.
A large party of society people who had
arranged to attend, will go out to morrow
evening.
The dancing party arranged by the
''2l" club for Thursday next has been
postponed for a week.
A german will be given at the Post on
the evening of the 23rd.
Dancing people will he interested to
know that Johann Strauss, the great
composer of wsltzes. has composed some
waltz minuets which promise to work a
revolution In the art of waltztng. During
the waltz minuets the couples have the
choice of talking together during half the
time, or, if they prefer TO waltz, they can
alternate the vertigo of the waltz and the
calm Irritation of the minuet. They say
marvellous things of these compositions,
and their introduction in this country will
be a matter of but a short time.

The commissioners OF Sheridan county
are seriously considering the matter OF
funding the county Indebtedness. The
Enterprise says: 1--WE believe the people
will bear them out if they decide to do so,
as it is much better to pay a small rate OF
interest, say five or SIX per cent, on bor-
rowed money on long time than to be
continually running behind aud paying
eight per cent on county warrants.

tNew York Morning Journal d.
The World Against Her is the best
play which Frank Harvey has disposed
of to American actors, and far superior
to Woman Against Woman and The
Wages of SIN. which have attained more
or less success in the states.
We will probably never geta play equal
to the 7ICo Orphans because such plays
are not written more than once in twenty
five years, but The World Against Her
has abundant grounds for favorable com
parison. There are numerous domestic
scenes of moving pathos, well con
structed and dramatic, and the whole
movement of the play suggests the hand
of a master dramatist.
The melodrama will be produced Tues-

nouncement was applauded and the
House adjourned.
THE FINAL STRUGGLE.
On the seventh ballot a majority
would be 15S, and Chicago had 154,
just two votes short. There was an
agony of expectations when Mason
dragged Reyburn, the new member,
forward. He said he wished to
change his vote from New York to
Chicago, and did so. He was greet.
ed with applause, and evidently ex-
pected to lead a stampede for
Chicago, but he was disappointed.
No hndy followed his example, and
Chicago's total stood at lbs, one
less than majority. The New York
forces were retiring in good order
and contested every inch of the
ground, so another roll call was
necessary. 1t was the eighth and
last, for Chicago achieved her
victory, and out of the total of 307
votes received 157, three more than
majority.
VOTE OF THE PENNSYLvANIANs.
On the eighth ballot the Pennsyl-
vania members voted as follows
For Chicago: Atkinson, Bayne,
Craig, Culberston, Dalzell, Darling
ton, Mccormick, Osborne, Reyburn,
