suit will be known today.
Mr. Jno. D. Wylie, son Of Col. r. E.
Wylie of Lancaster, had a miraculous
escape from q tragic death or serious
of an annex the Friedheim hall
building, Tuesday night. Mr.. Wylie
was attending a dance at the hall and
with some other boys stepped out OF
a window on to the roof Of the shed to
cool off during the interval between
dances, and not being familiar with
the place, stepped Of Of the cave Of
the roof and fell to the ground, some
is or 20 feet below. He was able,
however, to return to the hall without
assistance, and later was taken to the
hospital, where he was examined and
1t was found that he had sustained no
serious injuries. In fact, he was none
the worse for the fall, except for
slight bruise on the head and quite
severe shake-up.
For tho no Of afY months longer.
city council has been discussing and
debating the question Of moving the
guard house from Black street to the
first floor of the city hall building.
There has been and Is still, strong OPP
position from adjoining property own
ers, to the removal Of the city jail to
the city hall building, which is on
Hampton street and within less than
half a block Of Main street. How
ever, at the last meeting Of council,
that body, for the third time instruct
ed the committee having the matter In
charge, to proceed at once In accord
ance with plans already agreed upon
for the removal of the guard house.
But the end Is not yet, for those OBJ
jecting to the proposition will put up
a hard fight against 1t and carry the
matter to court, II necessary. They
contend that putting the city prison
in the city hall building will not only
be offensive and prove a nuisance to
citizens residing near by, but will
cause adjoining property to depreciate
in value. The outcome Of the whole
matter will be watched with interest:
