While att the lake the nurse and the child went in bathing. The place where they went in was at the north end, where the water was comparatively shallow It seems that the child, unob- served by the nurse, ventured out into the lake some distance from the shore and got into deep water. Through ex- naustion or because of a cramp Louise was unable to reach the shore and cried to the attendant to come to her assist ance. The Johnson girl swan out to rescue the child, but before she reached Ehe little one the child became exhaust ed and went to the bottom.
 Frank Le Grand, fisherman of San- dy Hook, who was on the lake in small boat witnessed the accident and he row. ed with all possible haste to the fpot where the child and the nurse were struggling in the water, but before he reached them the nurse had also gone down for the last time.
 A search was immediately begun for the bodies and both were recovered by Le Grand at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The news of the sad death of the child was broken to MT. and Mrs. Galpin by some of the summer visitors here, and both were prostrated by the terrible news.
 The child was very bright and was much thought of by the summer visitors at North Pleasant. MT. Galpin will eave for New Haven tomorrow morn ing with the bodys of the child, his daughter. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed.
 Medical Examiner Smi,h of this place was notified of the drowning and after making an examination decided that il would not be necessary to notify the coroner, as it was evidently an acci dent, clearly an accident.

 was ruled out after sharp fight by the l defense. The case was then summed | up by Frederick House for Fitzsimmons and by District Attorney Shove for tht l state.

It cer- tainly Is an urgent necessity, as at pres ent the public are obliged to walk near- Iy knee deep through ashes, dust and sand, and it is high time this condi- tion of things were remedied. If the railroad company will not lay the sidewalk let the city lay it and collect from the railroad company" After considerable further discussion the committee on sidewalks was in struoted to procure bids for the con struction of a sidewalk from Bridge street to Steamboat dock at Tomlinson | bridge, and to open said bids at the | meeting of the board next Wednesday | evening.
 The contract for the grading of Wash. I ington street, between Liberty street l and Congress avenue, was awarded te l Enos Dickerman at 3sA cents per cubic yard. It was also voted that a petition l be sent to the court of common counci ] asking that body to transfer the sun l of $1,902.48 from the appropriation fol ! the repairing of the dragon bridge tt l the grading of Washington and othel l streets.

 Horses Were on Line and Then With a
 Grand Burst of Speed the Mare Passed
 Under the Wire Winner.
 Minneapolis, July 3.-Fantasy to- day defeated Directum in the free-for- all trot on the Minnehaha track. Ev- erything that could be asked in the way of favorable conditions were pro- vided. Great interest was centered in the race and when the two horses appeared they were greated with rounds of applause. It was in the first heat that the mare appeared to best advan- tage. There was little delay and when the horses were sent away Directum and Fantasy were neck and neck. Into the turn they went, never varying their positions, when suddenly the mare lost her feet, but not for long. She lost six lengths and was third. David B., | took second. Down the back stretch there was a pretty contest and the mare continued to gain.
 At the three-quarters she was we'll up with Directum and was setting a pace for the field. Down the stretch they came, the little mare gaining and when near the stand their noses were on 8 line. Then the mare made great burst of speed and crossed the wire
 a neck ahead of Directum.
