Ho received a negative answer , and thus continued : "I am not well enough ac quainted with any of the interested parties to have any inside view of the matter , but my idea is just this the option on the hotel at the lake expires in August. That is , the parties owning it have until that tlmo to re deem it , and If it is not redeemed , Mr. Me- Coanoli , as representative of the Chicago Lumber company , will then become the owner. Now , then , Colonel Reed desires to show that ho can cither make or break that hotel , and so keep parties from stepping In to buy it. If no can scare them all off , ho will buy up ono of the little liens and then his way is clear to secure possession for a very small sum. I'll bet pumpkius to pea nuts that he is planning that very thing. Ho is figuring nicely to get hold of Hotel do Manuwa at a very small figure , and then he would bo fixed indeed. Of course , if he wants to buy it , it is all right , but it is hardly fair to try to freeze out everybody else by a bluff game , like this ono of shutting oft trains on the motor line. In the first olace , the publio 'would not stand it , and , in the second , the electric company would build a line down there Inside of tea days. " Qlt is said that there is another side to the matter. It is reported that Colonel Reed is not satisfied with the loose management of affairs at the lake. There are too many doubtful characters allowed about there and no questions asked. Tno shutting oil of night trains is for the purnoso of discourag ing those who want to make a loud resort of the lake and force the management of the hotel and other places into n more strict ob servance of law and order. Such Is another theory of the matter. If there is causa for such complaint , and Colonel Reed is seeking to force a reformhis efforts will bo applauded rather than condemned. Fire ! Fircl Fire !

About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon , the workmen and spectators on South Madison street were treated to a sparring exhibition without paying the customary foo. It was a rather ono-sldcd affair , especially at the fin ish. It happened in this way , as told by those who were on the ground : Jumos Jacoby , an expressman , drove up to a house fronting on the washed-out portion of Madi- EOII street , to got n chair to take down town. Just as ho pulled up , Alderman Lacy drove up behind him. Lacy ordered him off the street , claiming that ho was hindering the workmen. Jacoby replied that ho would go as soon as he secured.hia bundle , and started to walk into the house. Laoy exclaimed "you will go before1 ' and after some further words , is sutd to have pulled his whip from the socket , striking Jacoby a stinging blow across the side of the hoad. Jacoby did not relish the treatment , and was sooa astride the corpu lent form of the prostrate alderman , and put ting sundry frescoes around his eyes and other prominent points. "Havea't I any friends here to help mol" yelled the unfor tunate recipient of the puimnolingfi"DivU n wan yer brought It onyorsel , an now help yarsel out as best yor can , " was the ready reply of a stalwart workman. Mr. E. J. Abbott was near at hand and not quite so uufcoling for aldermanlo misfor tune , and promptly pulled the irate express man to his feet. Lacy got into his buirgy and drove away , and Jacoby curried out his original intention of getting the chair. The momentary flutter of excitement died away , and the Interrupted work was soon resumed. You can buy latest style parasol or umbrella at James & Ilavorstnck's cheaper than any place in the city.

Bellinger was called in , and found her iu a comatose state , fast approaching death. Her lips and fingers were blue , indi cating opium poisoning. The stomach pump and antidotes were called into active service , and the victim rallied for a while , but died at 0 o'clock yesterday morning. The suicide told the physician , when she had rallied suf ficiently to talk , that she took the poison in tentionally , and wanted to dio. She drank about three ounces of medicine containing nn ounce and n half of opium , and half emptied an ounce- bottle of laudanum. She gave no reason for her rash act , but it is at tributed to ill health , as she had been ailing for some timo. The deceased was thirty- four years of age. The funeral will to ice place at 8 o'clock this afternoon from the residence. Lively Street AVork. The work of relaying the paving on Madi son street was vigorously "pushed yesterday , in order to complete it by to-night. It was 9 o'clock Sunday evening before the work was stopped for the day. When the men stopped for dinner yesterday the blocks had been re- laid nearly to Plainer street. Bctwoea 12 and 1 o'clock , a heavy rain fell , and just as the men returned to work they witnessed tbo result of their forenoon's labors des troyed. A largo volume of water poured down the street from the hills above , and repeated the destructive work of Friday night. It caught the paving just below Bloomer street , and sent it again whirling down toward Broadway. The electric motor construction gang , under the supervision of Headmaster Brin- ton , was kept at work lighting the water , and managed to keep it away from the newly laid track , confining its work to the gutters on cither side. A otrlp of paving over ono hundred feet long and about ten feet wide was swept out on each side , bcinir fully half of the work done by the pavers' during the morning. It was seen that th6 work could not bo stopped , and the paving force directed its energies to throwing out such blocks as made obstructions , thus giving the water a frco passage , In order to save the middle of the street. It was nearly evening before the damage was repaired. Mr. E. A. Wickham still in sists that ho will complete the work of re pairing the washout to-night. Ho will put on eight pavers , fifteen tampers , and thrco tar kettles this morning. Ho states that owiug to the wet condition of tbo bleaks , the street will have to bo rotamped after a few weeks , as the blocks will shrink and got loose after drying. The work Is now being tamped twice , but a third will bo necessary , also an additional coat of paint. This will cost about $400 extra. The work Is being done by thu city under the supervision of Mr. Wicklmm. The laying of the electric motor track was completed about 5 o'clock. A small strip , fifteen feat long , was 'oft ' in front of the property of John Limit , as an injunction had been secured by him to prevent the company from laying its truck until ho had been "compensated" for such damages as might result from bettor'street car accommoda tions. The remainder of thq. line will not bo built until after the .tournament. A tele gram was received from the Columbia Iron works , at Johnstown , stating that the Iron would not bo hero until ton days later than had been expected owing to the Hood. The material was to have been shipped on the 5th inst. , but willihurdly bo here now until about the Hrst of next month. The iron company stated that they would be at work in ton days , and the electric motor company thought It hardly worth while to place their order with another firm , If the delay was no more than that.

The barbers held a meeting lust evening at Cllno's barber shop under the opera house , and doe Idcd to wait until after the council hold a meeting and cither granted or rejected their petition to pass a Sunday closing ordi nance. The grounds on which they base their petition is that the Sunday work can bo easily done on Saturday , and give them ono day at homo with their families ; that the shops are closed In nearly all the cities in the state , and that they are now working contrary to law. They meet again ono woult from tn-nlght ut Priest's shop on Middle Broadway. Well Worthy of Patronage.

Ilalf the enchantment of Italy is gene when wo lose sight of the Mediter ranean , says a correspondent. It is along the tihoro of that sapphire sea that the romance and the glamour of Italian landscape are to bo found. There are spots between San Rome and Bordighorn , between Monte Carlo and Nice , which make the boul ache with their lovHiioss , sitddenod almost to dis- palr by an ideal beauty which scorns to accentuate the ugliness of life ; and it is only with that sea for a foreground of the piuturu that the light and color of the bouth can bo felt in all their ox- quislto variety. Homo thrills and vi bratos with the Hpoetrul past , a city of fountains and phantoms ; Florence is a vast repository of art ; Vouico is u dream of vanished groatnosa carved in fit ono mid glorified with frescoes that are as vast and wonderful a9 any tlronm ; but the western Rivlora is n happy holiday ground which Iloavon has loft to man kind otit of a long-lost fairyland.
