charge. He was fined so and costs,
amounting to but few dollars. The
highest punishment for this Offense is
a fine Of 500 or Imprisonment for two

taught a pretty good lesson, as he loses
his position in the prison with NJ. ID.

peculiarly fortunate in its arrange
ments for such an affair. Just OppOsite

famous Deutscher club, formerly the
palatial residence of the late Alex
ander Mitchell. the grounds of which
occupy an entire block. A bridge of
Venetian architecture will span the
street and connect the two. AdjOin-
ing the library building to the north is
another sOcialclub, the Calumet, quite
celebrated locally. 4 vestibuled pas
sageway will connect this club with the
main building. The entire picture
will be a blaze of electricity for hours.
The cOurtesies of both clubs will be
extended to all who attend the ball.
The steam road roller ventured
from the seclusiOn of its house Thurs
day morning and wendell its way to-
ward Clyman and Seventh streets, I'M
der the guidance of Engineer Neitzel.
Most of the distance was covered with
out incident, but when in front of II. t.
Eberle's home, 513 Clyman' street, it
met with a mishap, one of the rear
wheels sinking into the ground about
two feet. The accident was caused by
the ground being undermined between
the sewer and the surface. After
labOring several hours a gang of
men succeeded in eXtricating the
pOnderous machine and it was then
taken to its destination, where it
was to be employed in smoothing
down the ridge left over the water
main recently put in on Seventh street,
between Clyman and Western avenue.
Here, again, the weight of the machine
was too great for Mother Earth and
two of the wheels buried themselves in
a soft spot, from which position the
roller was not removed until after mid
night.
