SAD CASE OF DRoWN MING.

On Wednesday, the 18th instant,
Miss Clara Bogert, of Catawissa, was
drowned in Fishingcreek near Arbutus
Park. She was accompanied by Miss
Lucy Jacobs, who also came very near
drowning. George Reed, a colored
boy, saved her life, but could not res
cue Miss Bogert.
We are informed that the young
ladies had accompanied VIM. Taylor's
family who were camping out at Ar
5utus Park. Leaving the camp a
short distance the girls wandered
along the stream for recreation, and,
being dressed for cooling off in the
water, they ventured to wade in. The
current, being swlfter than they appre-
hended, soon carried them into the
danger from which Miss Jacobs was
narrowly rescued and which thus sadly
terminated the life of her young COM
panion. The shocked and bereaved
parents of Miss Bogert could only
take her lifeless body home for burial
after being apprised of the sad mis-
hap, Miss Bogert having been under
water some twenty minutes before her
body was rescued by the aid of some
B. & S. trainmen and others who were
apprised Of the sad event, all efforts
to resuscitate her were in vain.

ROWDYIsM.

In the mazes of the giddy dance
and the entanglements of drunken
ness, which is apt to accompany
where the public dance is a pro-
nounced success, ten persons were
recently wounded and several knocked
down during picnic at Hazleton.
Warmed up with the intoxicants that
cause about nine. .tepths of all the
crimes committed, Mike Roman, an
Italian, got knocked down while
engaged in row with some one on
the dancing floor. His fall raised the
ire Of his fellow countryman Giovanni
Perna, who drew his revolver and
fired into the crowd at random. This
had tendency to check the revelry
until they could count the wounded
and about kill the Italian who was on
the war-path.
1t is only the record OF one more
drunken row in which ten were
wounded and the perpetrator about
killed for doing what the devil die
tated.

If physiognomy counts for anything

fphysiognomy counts for anything
then there is something wild enough
depicted in the facial expression of
Governor Altgeld to account for his
letter to the President claiming that
he needed no help to maintain the
peace of Chicago. If he needed no
help the rational inquiry is, why did
he permit the peace to be disturbed
and property to be burned If there
is hell on earth to day we have
thought for some time that all the
evil influences contributing towards
the necessity for it, either here or
hereafter, are concentrated right there
in Chicago. The wonder is that the
Almighty don't open the earth and let
it down to the seething cauldron
and the molten lava of the earth's in

The Bridge Contract.

Mr.. Theodore +. Conner figures
on a loss to the County Commissioners
of $I75 by their having ignored VIM.
Ferguson's peculiar or irregular bid
for filling and riprapping at the river
bridge. While Mr.. Melick filed a
uniform bid of 81 cents per cubic
yard for all the filling and riprapping
to be done, Mr. Ferguson bid both
higher and lower than this. At four
points his bid is higher and at three
points it is lower than that of the
successful bidder.
According to our notion exact
measurement of the work to be done
can alone determine which is the
lower bid and who, in consequence,
is of right entitled to the contract.
