memory slab has been placed N the
church at Catshoge, Leicestershire,
England. was "a little queer" says
the ST Louis Republic. 1t seems
that the reverend gentleman died in
January, 1886, leaving all of his prop
erty. valued at $500, TO a railroad
porter.
The queer old preacher kept one
servant Of each sex, whom he locked
up every night. His last employment of
an evening was TO go the rounds of his
premises, let loose the dog and fire of
his gun. He lost his life In curious
manner. Starting oct 20 let out has
servants, the dogs fawned upon him
and threw him into a pond of water.
The servants heard his cries, but be-

Three wrecks aeo AGO Italians were set 10
work builcing roads on the mountain near
the Lehigh tunnel at West Portal All that
was know, about them was thai they were
hired by New York people, Who have lately
obtained coltrul OF the mountain and OF
good deal Of the village. A week after the
first instalmcnt of Italians a second came
along. They started To build a heavy stone
wall around a fifty lot, near
West Portal station. The number OF labor
ers was finally increased TO L, 1 so on Sun
day.

New Bill at Kerpan's.

Kernau's Lyceum Theater was crowded
to the doors last night by an enthusiastic
audience, which was highly amused and
constantly entertained by the City Club
Burlcsque Company in an entire change of
program The first part was musical
skit, entitled, The Gay Girls at Monte
Carlo, which was presented with ella borate
sceneryandeffectsb by score OF pretty girls
in most bewitchiug costumes, aud CAV
comedians. The olio comprised all the old
favorites, among whom Carrie Fulton a
great local favorite, and Bert Leslie scored
Instant hits, and were frequently recalled
for their work in breezy sketch. Lew
Palmer in limitations; Miss Annie Louborg.
Conroy and McF arfand, in Irish drollness,
and Harry Baker and Gladys st. John, in
sparring exhibitions, were among the fea-
lures In the speciality line. The closing
buTlesaue was one Of the most spicy
and highly pleasing performances seen here
in many moons. It was called, "A Coun-
tryman's Dream" and brought out the full
strength of the company. In this Miss
Fannie Everett and Mr.. Leslie again scored
decided success. The living pictures in a
glass cabinet were new and up to-date
