STONE AVENUE NUISANCE.

It Caused Much Trouble for Michael
Certify, Owner of the Premises.
An unmitigated nuisance has existed
for more than u year on the property
of Michael Gerrity. at $40 Stone ave-
u
Gerrity owns a large frame building
in which he has four tenants, also oc-
cupying a portion of it himself. For
the accommodation of these families
there is but one closet. The vault Of
the closet is in rocky ground aud there
is conse qusntly no absorption Of its
contents.
Whenever it rains the surface water
flows into the vault and in flowing out
again brings with it the contents and
spreads it even on the public highway.
The result was no end to mischief.
Captain Burke at the instance of the
board OF health arrested Gerrity yester.
day and brought him before the mayor,
who, after listening to the case, placed
him in the hands Of Alderman Fuller.
The alderman gave Gerrily Il lecture
for keeping his lot in such uusanitary
shape anu lined him S25 and placed MIN
under $500 bail as security to keep his
promise to abate the nuisance.
John Howley signed the bond, and
the fine was not collected. 1t will bq
RENTED provided GSrrity complies
with the law without unnecessary de
lay. Captain Burke will visit the
premises daily and observe what speed
is made in abolishing the cause OF the
trouble,

AMONG the POLITICIANS.

The Carbondale Leader publishes q DEM
ocratic slate that names Ex-Judge John
Handley for congress and Attorney S. q.
Price for additional law judge.
Various slate makers are connecting
the names of Attorneys I. p. Hoban and
L. G. NewcOmb with the Democratic
nomination for district attorney.
Representative NJ. T. Burke, Of Carbon.
dale, was in the city last evening. Mr..
Burke is seeking u denomination from the

= True Tale.

Come listen, all ye p eople, to the wonders
that befell
AT the tournament Of Clothiers-a true
story that l tell
1t is like the knightly wonders, that oc-
Cured in battles won
By the great and noble Launcelot in the
tales Of Tennyson.
It's up to date in time and place, and sure
to interest;
1t tells how COLLINS & HACKETT in COM
bat got the best
or all the competition that is known the
country round.
1t makes o most dramatic %tale-none bet
ter eau be found.
The combatants came early-they were
eager for the fray.
And they rode all sorts of horses, never
seen until that day.
The champion roI o u mustang, that could
kick and break a rock.
And the legend on his blanket read, "You
bet we W our stock"
Another rode q prancing steed and seemed
to cut a swell.
And turning showed his name to be, 1--WE
make the Clothes we SELL"
Another rode a raw-boned horse, stone
blind In both his eyes.
And boosted the eccentric name; 1--WE
never advertise"
Came dole.ul- visaged Bankrupt Stock
so sleepy that he shores.
And one who bore the banner-"We own
our stores"
And other minor knights were there in
quaint or bright array.
All hoping that Dame Fortune coy night
cast her smiles their way.
But here are two youngsters in the throng,
lads whom no one knows.
On q blooded horse-'Promoters OF Fine
Fashionable Clothes"
The eager press close to them: the Knight
around them flock.
And read upon their blazing shield the
magic words, FINEST STOCK"
Fine clothes, line cut, fine styles, fine fits,
were weapons int heir hand.
With that honest reputation so well known
throughout the land.
And then then the people understood as
clear us light OF day
That the lgreatest living forces would
wrestle In the fray.
The crowd set up n mighty cheer and
swelled it long and loud.
The other knights were jealous--CoLLINs
q HACKETT won the crowd.
The trumpetS blew o mighty blast, which
told th5m all that they
Would quickly So, the fight for "Ready-
made" supremacy.
There was hurrying, there was skurrying,
there wa, clash Of brass and steel.
Horses stumbled, mon were humbled, as
from off their steeds they reel.
Hours the rough and tumble lasted, and
the mud and feathers flew,
Till the str can from off the horses hid the
CORY scene from view.
But at last the fight grew feeble. and to
every ones surprise
COLLINS q HACKETT walked alone with
victory in their eyes.
The multitude went crazy, wild; 1t yelled
with sheer delight,
AS the GRACIOUS PUBLIC crowned with
laurel wreaths the victor knights.
Now to the heroes daily flocks the crowd,
for well It knows
That none can equal or surpaes COLLINS &
HACKETT's clothes;
And mothers tell their children of that day
and its great racket,
And advise them evermore TO buy of Coll
Inns & HAcKETT.
