"Do you know why Colonel Reed has shut
of the late trains to and from Lake Man
awa ) " asked a citizen of Tun BEE , yester
day. 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.

An Alclornmii Downed.
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.

Ono More Unfortunate.
Mrs. William Briggs , living nt No. 1210
Third avenue , took a largo dose of lauda
num , Saturday evening , with suicidal intent.
Dr. M. J. 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 Again In fiCHslon.
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.
A ridiculously small audience witnessed

Hotel
"It is remarkable how audacious beg
gars are coming to bo and how frequent
they are , " said a down-town hotel clerk
the other night to a St. Louis Globo-
Democrat reporter. "I work until 12
o'clock at night , and the amount of people
ple who , about that time , find that they
want a place to Bleep or something to
eat is simply astounding. Ono woman
came in and told mo bho had noplace to
stay , etc. , and wanted to know if I
wouldn't bo so kind as to loud her my
overcoat to walk around in all night. I
was not so kind. Then she cursed mo
for about ton minutes and had just loft
when a man dropped in , said ho had
had no supper , and asked for a dimo.
As I had only car fare home , ho asked
mo if I wouldn't ' give it to him and
walk. I felt 1 could not , as I live near
Forest park , and then ho suggested that
I borrow some money from a follow-
omployo. I told him I never borrowed.
and ho replied that I might take some
money from the safe and return it on
pay day. 'Or , ' ho suggested , as a last
expedient , 'you might give mo your
own lunch. You will got a good square
meal when you go homo , and could do
without it much better than I can. '

twenty-five years has acted as receiver

and Watkins and three messenger boyn ,
who were unable to escape from the
building. Mrs. Ogle , who died at her
post , will go down in history as a
heroine of the highest order. Notwith
standing the repeated notifications
which she received to got out of reach
of the approaching danger , she stood by
her instrument With unflinching loyalty
and undaunted fearlessness , Bonding
words of warning to those in danger in
the valley bolowh When every station
in the path of thQ coming torrent had
boon warned , she wired her coiapanion
at South Forl ' 'This is my last mes

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.
