In regard TO ccmic opera comedians
it is a singular fact that the very frs,
private musical entertainment known

ian in the singing Of comic ballads.
This entertainment was given in 1850
Lombardy, when he was visited by the
Duke - Milan and his newly married
spouse Isabella OF ArrIgon. grand
daughter Of Ferdinand, King OF Naples.

I'VE were forced by the grand juries
to build on this site, urged by the
judges to erect a new building. The
judges and investigating committees
approved and sustained our action in
the selection of plans. The plans were
made and advertised for the public
square site, and why did not those
taxpayers begin their injunction pro-
ceedings before and save us all this
trouble. We have now spent over
$4,000 on the plans for the proposed
building"

gave his opinion on the matter, and
said: Judge Woodward wrote a very
strong opinion and l don't know what
will be the next step in the matter.
The commissioners cannot do anything
until there are further recommends

months or year before anything
further is done in the matter"
County Commissioner John NJ. Jones,
in speaking of Judge Woodward's opin-

the commissioners would take next
until meeting is held with their at
torneys and the legal aspect of the case
defined. 'I, personally, have nothing

The storm yesterday caused much
damage in different parts of the bor-
ough. Trees, fences, electric wires,
etc, were raZed to the ground and
small plank bridges and sidewalks
swept away. Several places We're
struck by lightning and in all the loss
will reach several hundred dollars.
The queerest freak of the work of
the lightning was at the home of
Ralph Bewick. on Rigg street. The
bolt struck the roof, tearing off the
shingles on one side and splitting the
chimney in two. and then entered the
sleeping apartments. where the plas-
tering was torn from the walls. 1t
then glanced downward, bulging out
the siding and entering the kitchen,
where the family was seated Here,
every nail in sight was driven into
the boards to the depth of about one
half an inch. Strangest of all was the
escape from death of one of the chill
dren. When the bolt entered the
Kitchen, one of the small children, a
boy, had hold of the door knob. The
bolt struck the floor at his feet and
burned quite a space. Part of the
same flash struck the little ones hand
that was on the knob and burned it
quite badly. That he was not killed
seems like miracle, as he was sur
rounded by fire. The woodwork was
badly burned.
