| by Mrs. W. w. Morton and "Negro Melo-
dies by Mrs. IL. l.. Flint. Dainty re-

States Attorney NJ. NJ. Wilson, to whom
| the question OF fire escapes on halls or
public buildings was referred according to
sn act Of the last Legislature placing such
matters in the hands of states attorneys,
| has ordered Grange hall, Edson's hall and
the Randolph Inn TO be provided with
suitable fire escapes as soon as possible.
All the request OF Mr.. Wilson, the chief
engineer OF the fire company, N. Z. Buck,
investigated the halls and hotel and rec
| commended some provision to ensure
greater safety. The escapes at Dubois a
Gays hall and Masonic hall need some at
| tention, and Odd Fellows hall may later
be the subject Of another order.
Now that the railroad station is under
| going extensive repairs to make good the
| ravages of fire, suggestions have been
made to the effect that it would be ex-
| tremely timely in every respect just now
| to place clock In the tower of the build
| ing-one OF a fine, open countenance and
accurate movements to inspire confidence
| in its handling OF hours and minutes.
Such timepiece would probably cost $50
or less and would be located right in the
heart of things, ready to convict erring
watches to their prevaricating faces and
| frown at the railroads contempt of its
train schedule. There is a clock on Beth
any church, to be sure, but it is little out
of the real center, represented BY the
square, where people do mostly congre-
gate.
