Moving a Building.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Washington
Libby began the job of moving the two
and a half storied wooden building To-
Gated near the foot Of Park street, over
Vaughan,s bridge, via Commercial, Cen
tire, York and Danforth streets. This
circuitous route had to be taken owing to
telegraph, telephonesand electric wires.
The house was picked up and placed
on skids, and large number of rollers
employed. Thirty-two yoke of oxen and
four pair of horses were employed, be-
sides the services of eight or ten team
sters. The start was made at $50 a. M.
Progress was slow owing to the hard
going, and it was $50 p. m. when Cor
ham's Corner was reached. Then came
the long pull up York street hill. When
the summit was attained there was a
better track, as there was snow and ice
to take the place of dirt, and better time
was made.
An immense crowd watched the NOV
ing and were not slow in giving advice.
When the building passed Gorham's
Corner it collided with guy and took
off the top of telegraph pole with the
wires. Over the corner of Danforth and
Park streets branch fell from tree and
knocked man from the top Of the build
ing, injuring him severely.

sale of horses by public auction; namely on
April 4th, April 18th, and closing out sale on
May End of all horses then unsold.
The special attention of the public is called

not only horses of the class usually disposed of
in the spring but also a large number OF horses
of better class which are being displaced by

Company has on sale almost everything per-
tanning to the operation of a horse railway !;

equipment necessary for stable use as above
stated.
We feel 1t our duty to-, inform our many

seven frame dwellings in Cooper street

Among the injured were the four chill

refused to admit them. This aroused
indignation which ~deepened during the
day until it eliminated in n riot in the
evening In which Meyers saloon was
demolished after much of its contents
had been destroyed. Then a visit was
paid to the saloonkeeper's living apart

after a time into tales of business sue
