Windows Broken
During the storm of last Tuesday
night the strong wind caused one of
the windows in Grace Episcopal
church to fall, and the sudden drop
in the sash broke three of the panes.
The windows were of ground glass,
and cannot be duplicated anywhere
in the country, it is said, and there
fore there will be some trouble in
getting new panes to match. It Is
probable that by changing some of
the windows in the church around
the matter may be settled in a satis
factory manner.
Park Cottage
A site for the little cottage that is
to be erected at the City Tark was
selected yesterday by, Mr. Tee, the
city surveyor, and work on the con

little building was drawn by Mr. Tee
and while it , will cost only in the
neighborhood of f400 it will probab

build the little cottage. It will stand
on the north side of the knoll at tic

Two Stores Robbed
Sometime during Thursday night a
thief broke in John I'cnttila'i cjgsr
store in Uuiontown and took seven
mcrschaum pipes. On the same
night, and presumably by the same
hand, the cigar store kept by Fred
Planting, a short distance away, was
also broken into, and a small sum of
money taken from the till. Both
robberies were reported to the po
lice yesterday morning, but the in
vestigation 'tended to bring 'nothing
of a definite nature to light.

and show the Chemawa Indian boys

creating mild . consternation the

on the steamer Sue II. Elmore for

Work yesterday afternoon after a
couple of pistons for, the steamer
Melville, which were ready for de
livery, and on the way back to the
dock, and as the outfit was passing
the Nettick hotel on Bond at the cor
ner of Tenth, the near wheels caught
the edge' of one of the railroad
planks alongside the A. E. tracks,
and turned it over, the wheels slip
ping from the roadway into the hole
made bv the displaced board. The
wagon turned over on its side with
a quick' crash, and Harold Jordan,
the younger son of Captain Peter
Jordan, who was standing up in the
rig, -went over with the wagon and
was underneath it, mixed 4 up' with
the heavy irons. How he ever, es
caped serious injury is beyondcom
orehension, and had not a number
of citizens instantly caught the team
and stopped them from running, the
issue of the ugly accident might have
been unhappily different. Nothing
was broken and nobody was . hurt,
which is remarkable considering the
nature of. the mishap.

Messrs. M. A. Crawford and H. V.

manifested among their friends. The
surprise may be occasioned however
by their bringing in something of
