SPECIAL CITY NEWS.
The batting industry is nearly sus-
pended in the shops, and will be likely
to remain in such quiescent condition
Mr. Josiah H. Atwood, of Elizabeth
street, has been seriously indisposed
this week and confined quite closely to
his house, owing to the effect of a se-
vere cold contracted on Memorial Day.
The W. R. C. hold aregular meeting
this evening. Their Fair entertain-
ment will be held three evenings dur-
ing the third week in this month, which
should be generously patronized, as
the members of this little society are
a deserving band Of hard-working and
self-sacrificing women.
A member of a firm on North Main
street recently left the safe open at
night, and when the discovery of the
inadvertency was subsequently made,
he turned to the complexion of a ghost
and his hair stood up as straight and
proudly as the majestic trees of a forest
through whOse whiskers the wind had
shrieked during centuries. Luckily
no light-fingered individual had pre-
vibusly made the discovery, and. there-
fore, the contents some four or five
hundred-dollars, were undisturbed.
The repetition of “The Last Loaf”
in the U. G. T. R. A. hall last even-
ing, drew a crowded house, every
seat being occupied, and all appearing
highly pleased with the performance.
Indeed, some would like to see it again,
but that is impossible because Georgie
Miller and Freddie Hoyt ate up the
loaf at the close of the show. A colla-
tion of cake, ice. cream, temperance
drinks, etc., was also enjoyed by the
club. The receipts from the two pre-
scntations of the play amount to $30
more or less. C. V. A.
