A very pretty young girl was in white
null with narrow frills, edged with white
satin baby ribbon along the bottom. Her
low round bodice had a full fichu OF white
to match the skirt. About the waist was a
broad white empire sash tied in full bows

tight at the wrist and untrimmsd.

Three cases of drowning were re-

z. \. Olson. employed as laborer in
the rolling mill al New Brighton, while
bathing in the lake at that place, ven
tured beyond his depth, and, being I'M
able 10 swim, was drowned. The body
was recovered, Deputy Coroner Darling
notified and the remains brought to Me-
Carthy 4 Donnelly'S undertaking
rooms. Olson was thirty-two years old,
lived in Minneapolis, and was unmar-
ried.
Tony Hasfeldt, a fourteen-year-old
boy. was drowned IN the river near the
Old upper landing. Hasfeldt and sew
eral other lads went in bathing at
point between Market and Washington
streets. The current at that place Is
very strong and the channel Of the river
is near the shore. Almost as soon as he
entered the water, HaSfeldt was swept
from his feet and drowned IN sight
of his Mortified companions. The cries
of the other boys brought htaSSIstance but
not until it was too late.
An effort was made TO recover the
body but without success. Mrs. Has
feldt, the BOYS widowed mother. lives
at III Franklin street, and is nearly dis
tracted with grief.

The County Fair" at the Grand
Last Evening.
1.-The County Fair" is one of the more
popular plays Of the latter times. 1t
was a hit in New York city, where
it was produced continuously for four
years. and its fame diminishes not
whit on the road. The mechanical effects
are as nearly perfect as the practical
skill of the stage carpenter, fortified by
the genius of the scenic artist, can pro-
duee. The play is exceedingly
clever, ingenious and entertaining,
and the whole story is something
that the people have all innate relish
for. When it is explained that the
mounting employs two carloads of spe-
cial scenery and apparatus, one can
have some idea of the magnitude of the
production and the enjoyable effects of
the many. changes and surprises with
which the audience was treated at the
Grand opera house last evening. 1t
was the opening of the weeks engage
ment. and it doesn't seem to be draw
ing upon the speculative contingency IN
the least to prophecy big run.

WEEK IN CONGRESS.
1t Does Not Promise to Be Par
tiCulaPly Lively.

WASHINGTON. June 12.-COngress is
likely to spend another apathetic week,
unless the house again breaks forth into
frenzy of legislation and puts through
other measures as important as those
passed last Monday. But the chances
are that this will not occur. Last Mon
day was set apart by the rules as day
for passing bills nnder suspension, but
another suspension day will not occur
until tomorrow. 1t cannot be predicted
with certainty what the house will do.
So many of the Democrats will be
absent at tie Chicago convention that
it will not be safe fer the Democrats to
attempt any important legislation. An
agreement by the leaders of both par
ties in both houses not to press to vote
important matters will continue during
the Democratic convention. The re-
turn of the Republican senators will
give the senate the opportunity to do
some business. but it is probable the
entire week i'll that body will be taken
up in the consideration of the resolu-
ton of Mr.. Vest, of the committee on
finance, from further consideration of
the free wool bill. and Mr.. Stewards
free coinage bill. Mr.. Morgan will

tomorrow. and other senators will make

THE TITUSVILLE HORROR.
A Statement of the Situation by
Officials.


TITUsvILLE, Ia. June 12-The fol-
lowing is given out officially to the pub
lie:
The prompt and generous assistance
given.to our afflicted citizens in their
recent calamity by the people in all
parts of the country is most gratefully
appreciated by the sufferers and all
residents of Titusville. 1t is due to the
public that we make statement of our
condition as exactly and accurately as
is possible six days after the calamity.
| We have our relief committees thorough
1y organized and the distribution of food,
clothing, bedding and other supplies is
progressing with system. Perfect Or
,def prevails. Large forces Of laborers
are employed in removing wrecks from
the streets and in clearing up the ruins
of houses. Fifty-nine bodies have been
buried. Several persons are still miss
ing. We do not need clothing. food or
fother supplies. Our need will be for
money to relieve those who have lost by
fire and flood, and to repair the enor-
9mous destruction of property. The dis
1trict devastated by fire and floods eX-
qtehds through the entire length of the
city for q mile and a half. Its
breadth is from one-eighth to one
fourth of mile. The estimated loss of
property exceeds S1,O0O.OOO. The losses
fall chiefly upon the poor and the labor
ing people. Within the bounds named
were more than one hundred and fifty
dwellings as well as many shops, manu-
factories and oil refneries, where labor
was employed. The loss of personal
property in the homes OF the people was
almost total, while very many lost not
only their houses and contents. but the
ground on which they stood. The
streets are many OF them destroyed, and
the loss in this particular and in bridges
is very large. Everything possible is
being done to alleviate distress, and our
people are recovering hope and spirit.
