quay gardens, breaking four windows. A
policeman belonging to the st. Peters
burg force was wounded. According to
the information at hand at present no
other accident occurred. Inquiry con-
tinues."
1t is stated in official circles that
the grape was fired from one Of the guns
of the Seventeenth battery Of the First
horse artillery of the guard, the mos.
aristocratic corps in the Russian army.
1t seems that at gun practice on Tues
day loaded shell was inadvertently left
in the gun.
The emperor had miraculous escape.
Some Of the bullets actually struck the
little open chapel in which the emperor
was standing, cut the staff of one of the
standards and fairly riddled the base
ment windows Of the palace. wounding
a policeman. Had the gun been aimed
a little lower. the charge of grape
might have wiped out the whole Ro-
MANOR dynasty. The emperor displayed
splendid nerve. He did not show a
trace of excitement. He received the
ulplOIudIS III HIS usual COTuldl, BentlS
manner, reviewed the guard regiments
on the square behind the palace, and
subsequently had luncheon served in the
state dining-room.
In spite of the official statement, the
case Is under the combined investigation
OF the military and police, and the pub
lie seems as little inclined as the au-
thorities to accept the published theory
The two Investigations are proceeding
independently, and both are guarded
with the utmost secrecy. The general
belief Is that widespread plot did not
exist, but evidences of design are so
strong that the statement attributing
the presence of loaded shell to previous
target practice evoked smiles in many
quarters. 1t is pointed out as being high
ly improbable that the gun had not been
cleaned for two days; it is impossible
that second cartridge could have been
inserted for saluting purposes behind
the first, and 1t is certainly a startling
coincidence that the gun containing this
missile should have been trained direct
ly on the imperial chapel

The car Of Russia and his family had
a narrow escape from death at the Win
ter palace in st. Petersburg. AS the re-
suit OF deep-laid plot or grave acci-
dent charge of grape was fired into the
mansion, missiles striking near to the
imperial party, breaking windows and
wounding an officer. The official version
of the affair is that It was accidental.

The committee, Wall, 'o5, Doub, 'o7, and Al
len, ~, deserve great credit for the way in
which they managed the affair. Everything
came off smoothly and without a hitch.
The gym. was tastefuy decorated, and look
ed its hest The walls were decked with ban
ners and remnants of all sizes, shapes and colors.
At one end OF the room was placed long couch
covered with many pillows. Here the patron
csses were seated. At the other end of the hall
the musicians played popular airs, waltzes and
all other kinds of merry music for the dancers.
"A number of novel features were introduced
including lottery dance. The ladies were given
blue envelopes and the gentlemen white ones.
These contained halves of pictures which had to
be matched to find ones partner. This occas-
toned good deal of merriment among the
Searchers.
Abaut half-past ten ice cream and cakes were
served. A large bowl was kept full of fruit
punch during the dancing.
A large number of pretty girls and pleasing
matrons were present. Among the out-of-town
visitors were Mrs Waters and Miss Willmsen,

MARKET HOUSE.

The matter of building a market house in this
town is beginning to be talked over with some
interest Persons who have thought the sub
Ject over say the rents it would produce above
the interest OF the money expended in procuring
the ground and building it, would in few years,
pave all the streets. AS regards the advantage
OF market house to the people, there can be
no question; it would be a very great conven-
fence.
The next question is where should it be locat-
cd. The most eligible place spoken OF is Bow
street partly on the street and partly on the
north east corner of the Partridge lot, if the lat
ter could be procured. The matter should be
taken hold OF and a market house built, either
in that or some other central place

Christmas Number
Entertainment at Tome Institute

On Friday evening" December I, in Memorial
Hall, Hendrckson and Rosan, magicians and
jugglers, gave quite entertaining and clever
performance
Their program consisted of magic, ugglery,
autobiography, "chapeaugraphy" and iu
sion, called Here, There and Back Again" The
entire performance was good, and was roundly
applauded.
Hendrickson opened the entertainment with
his magic. He did several good tricks.
Rosani then came on and juggled. He SEEM
ed to have not the least regard for the laws of
gravity; he balanced balls on the end of a bill
lard cue and calmly turned a glass of water up
side down. without spilling drop. He proved
that ''everything stuck to his head but hair by
walking around with sticks and plates and pipes,
all revolving and balanced on his shining pate.
Next Hendrickson amused the audience by
throwing on a screen shadow pictures made with
his fingers and hands. The figures were gro
tesque and laughable, ranging from "colored
gem-men" and All ancient maiden making her
toilet, to pair of squabblng monkeys The
autobiography ended with 'real DRAMA in
which a fond lover attempted serenade, but
met with an irate parent and a pitcher of water
The next feature was "chapeaugraphy," in
which Rosani made faces showing twenty faces
under one hat"
The entertainment ended with the escape of
one performer from a locked and corded trunk,
and the immediate substitution of the other in
his place.

Constable was counsel, at the time of his election
met on Monday last. On Tuesday the jurors
were finally discharged. The only case tried was
that of John w. Mccullough, lumber Inspec-
tor OF Port Deposit, for measuring lumber at
Chesapeake City, alleged infringement of law
i'll interfering with the rights and duties of the
Inspector at the latter place. The testimony
showed that Mccullough was employed by the
Canal company to measure the timber sent
through the canal. 1t was decided they had a
right SO to employ him and he was acquitted.
There were over thirty cases against him, when
there should have been but one; the costs are
thus thirty times multiplied, and the county has
