opened with chorus, America" fol-
lowed by vocal duet, From Every
Stormy Wind That Blows" which was
prettily and appropriately sung. The
recitation, Young America in Pima

created some mirth among the young
men. The Sunset" a quartet OF
mixed voices, was well selected and
pleasantly rendered. This was fol-
lowed by song, I'VE Are Going" In
which the sololst's high soprano rang
out clear and strong.
The tableau, The Girl I Left Be-
hind Me" was succeeded by reading,

Solicitor will prepare will simply ask
for the appointment of commission
to condemn the property along the
route of the run and assess the dam

property need not be taken for sewer
purposes until a third commission Is
exhausted. There can be no appeal
from the action OF the third commits

Judgements Against Phillips & Kane.
Judgment has been entered against
Frank Kane to-day, us PhillipsN Kane,
Mr.. Charles q. Phillips having retired
from the firm in June, 1851 by Phila-
delphia parties. The firm have hopes
Of adjusting their affairs satisfactorily
to all parties concerned at an early
day. The immediate cause of failure
is understood to lie from losses made
at the big tire in July, 1890, though at
that time they thought they would
be able to pun through and weather
the misfortune. This generous dispo-
sition also led him to trust nu-
merous persons who have been
unable or unwilling to pay him for the
purchases made. We hope some ar
rangements may be made and he will
soon be OH his feet again.
