The dry goods and jewelry store Of
John J. Davis, at White Pigeon, Mich,
was broken into last night by gang of
burglars and almost completely looted
of its most valuable contents. The safe
in which the jewelry was kept was
blown open and the entire stock of
iewelry valued at 81 200 was taken. No
estimate can yet be made of the value
of the other goods taken. There is no
clew to the burglars.

An Australian Tragedy.

MELBOURNE, Nov. 19.-Manager
Short, of the Commercial Bank of Sale,
Victoria, yesterday shot his wife and
two children and then killed himself.
The children died instantly and it is
believed that Mrs. Short is fatally
wounded. It is thought that reading
of the reports of the recent murder of
Mrs. Arthur Dacre in Sydney by her
husband, who also killed himself, un-
balanced Shorts mind.

purpose of considering the application
of the Home Telephone Company for
permission to erect poles, stretch wires
and open an exchange in this city.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
There were only five members of the
Board of Aldermen present last night.
When the ordinance granting certain
privileges to the Home Telephone Co.

consideration,
Mr.. Ballenger moved that the action
of the lower board requiring the com
pany to erect iron poles within five
years be non-concurred in, and that a
conference committee be appointed.
Messrs. Ballenger and Sweeney were
appointed on the part of this board.
Upon their return they stated that
the conference committee had decided
to strike out the word five" and in
sert "eight," SO that the company will
have eight years in which to erect iron
poles.
The bill was then put upon its third
reading and passed by vote of ayes
