: MAIN STREET was alive with kerosene
torches aud the voice of the fakir, last Mon
; day night. Near the Golden Fleece a
strong throated curb-merchant was vending
his wares and telling fairy tales, while a
! few feet up the street the great Mexican
museum and menagerie of mundane mys-
teries was in full blast. The latter palace
of amusement contains remarkable ag-
gregation, from a two.headed, eight-legged,
two-boded steer to a combination of wolf
and grizzly bear-all stuffed and in perfect
health Then there is the lady who swal-
lows sword several times day to sharpen
her appetite and eats tacks for chaser,

, aged last Thursday night during the rain
storm. Manager Brown claims that the

, light dynamo to be thrown into his office,
burning the insuators from half hundred
wires, setting the woodwork on fire. and
raising the mischief generally. Every in
: strument between here and Worcester was
burned out Peck & Cummins' whole tele-
phone system was destroyed The work of
strengthening the tangled wires and replac-
ing the property destroyed is under way,
but will not be completed before next Sat
urday.
