FOURTH STREET DRAINAGE

The subject OF a better drainage on
Fourth street will be dwelt upon at
the next meeting of the City Council,
IN majority and minority reports from
the Street Committee. The committee
considered the question Tuesday night,
but failed to agree. the cause OF the
disagreement being the large expense
which will be entailed. The estimates
call for an expenditure OF about Sc. 600,
and in the opinion of some of the
members of the committee, the city is
not in a position TO spare that much
money -inlprnNel44e4ftte II itt.-rrf7rrT
proposed is to construct line of terra
Gotta piping to carry surface drainage
into the marsh at Second street. The
matter in one form or another has been
before the Council a couple of years.

MILLINERY STORE FLOODED.

Several Hundred Gallons or Water Ran
into Miss Belle Emerson's Millinery
store---some Damage In A. KnaPp's
Clothing Store.
Goods in Miss Belle Emerson's millinery
and dressmaking store were found badly
damaged Monday morning, several hun
bred gallons OF water having fallen into
the store from the room on the second
floor occupied by j. b. Dunlevy, tailor
The water pipe froze and burst during Mr.
Dunlevy's absence, and during Sunday night
the ice in the pipe melted and the water
began running out through the aperture.
Miss Emerson was at the store Sunday
night at 8 o'clock, and found everything in
good condition at that time, but the dam
age had been done when the store was
opened next morning The 200 gallons of
water in the supply tank on the third floor
ran out into Mr.. Dunleyy's room, as well
as large additional supply of water which
ran into the tank
The bulk of the water ran down into Miss
Emerson's store, but a quantity soaked
through into the mems clothing and fur
nishngs store of Ambrose Knapp, wetting
down travelling bags, trunks, Numbered
shirts, ETC., and doing damage to the extent
of $50 TO 500 in that store.
The boxes on the shelves on the north
side of Miss Emerson's store, containing
laces, chiffon, ribbon and other destruct-
ible material, such as paper patterns, etc.
were soaked thoroughly. A quantity of
silk dress goods was also drenched. A
number of trimmed hats were wet down,
as well as a large case of infants silk bon
nets, and in the dressmaklng department
under the main store some finished dresses
were damaged.
Miss Emerson's loss, according to an ap.
praisal made Wednesday by Miss NJ. j..
Donnell, is about 500. Mrs. Ryther, the
owner of the block, has agreed to make the
loss good.

The first in series of assemblies to be

band was held Tuesday evening in the
armory. The affair was we'll attended,
nearly 70 couples joining in the dance, and
the galleries being we'll filed. The popu-

with each succeeding event. The follow
ing concert was given by the band before
the dancing began:
March-Le Condo,
SSVert11e-P4et and Peasant Suppe
Ten Minutes with the Mlnstrels Bowron
The music for dancing was also furnish
ed by the band and it proved very enjoyable.
Many of the dancers had never had an op-
portunity to trip the light fantastic to the
strains of brass band and 1t proved a
novel and agreeable experience. The sec
ond assembly of the series will be given in
about three weeks.
