The Openius: At Ladoga.

The Ladoga Opera House was formally opened Saturday night by "The Two Old Cronies." '1 he only criticism which can be offered on it is the inconvenience of its dressing rooms, but it is safo to say that no town of Ladoga's size in Indiana begins to compare with her as to place of amusement. A magnificent audieuce of well dressed and well behaved people filled the house anil the excellent troujie gave the best it had in its box. A peculiar thing in regard to tho appreciation of the actors' efforts was that they roared continually with laughter but not once did they stamp their feet or whistle. The gallery gods of Crawfordsvillo will please take a pointer from this example and demean themselves accordingly.

A Man for Supper.

Chuckey Fell wasn't satisfied with an ordinary supjer of fried oysters and champagne Saturday evening but he wanted more to eat. Along in tho evening he found a colored man. a certain Mr. Dick Jones, out on North st reet and proceeded to eat him up. Dick protested and while Chnekey was choking on an exceedingly large bite he escaped and reported the affair to the police. They were rude enough to put Chuckey in jail where he spent the Sabbath not even being allowed to get out to attend Sunday school, so missing the opportunity to get one of those socks of Christmas candy. Chuckey took this very much to heart and was much put out when the Mayor made him answer to the charge of assault and battery this morning.

As to Gas.

At noon to-day there were 500 natural gas fires burning in Crawfordsville, four men having been actively engaged in turning on the gas all tho morning, and still a howling mob beseiged the company and the plumbers demanding that their wants bo supplied and that right quickly. "We have had some complaint'' said Mr. Ramsey "in regard to low pressure. Wo have enough pressure on now to blow the whole town out and when the gas does not burn well it is duo to bad plumbing aud not bad pressure. Some of th-? plumbing is very inferior and repairing will be in order for the next few days. A majority of the people are eminently satisfied."

A Chance for the Olay Oombinatioa Company. Edward Helwig, an honest and sturdylooking German American citizen of Williamsport, arrived in the city this afternoon. He carries with him samples of a roofing tile which he has recently had patented and wants the Clay Combination Company or some other com pany to manufacture it from the splendid firo clay which we have in Montgomery county. He has tested the clay and pronounces it of a superior quality. He is a practical potter and has manufactured stone ware for years.

Eevival Services Begun.

Kev. M. Swadener, of Marion, Ind., began his revival service at the Methodist church yesterday, preaching both morning aud evening to larga congregations. Mr. Swadener made an excellent impression, and, it is believed, will do great good in his work here. There will services every night this week except New Year's night. On New Year's eve will occur a watch meeting at the church to which all are invited. There will also lie a service to-morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

Tin Shropshire Sheep

J. X. Davidson has just received two yearling registered Shropshire ewes from S. H. Todd it Sons, of Wakeman, Ohio, who are celebrated importers and breeders of this famous breed, and whose herds have already won 820,000 in prizes at the different State and county fairs. With this acquisition from this noted strain to his already fine flock Mr. Davidson no doubt will" be in the front breeder of Shropshires.

Afternoon Tea.

Saturday afternoon Miss Mnyme Gerard entertained quite a number of her young lady friends at tea at lie home on east Main street. The event was in honor of Mrs. C. E. Rankin, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Miss Lena Tipton, of Mt. Sterling, Ky. The occasion was a most pleasant one and Miss Gerard maintained her well earned reputation as a hostess.

Grand Joint Sociai.

The two lodges of Good Templars, together with the Juvenile Temple, will unite in^ a grand joint social on New dear's Eve. Tho programme of exercises will consist in part of a spelling match, literary entertainment, social and watch-night meeting. Ev«rTlXH],will be welcome. It will bo free

FIRE AT OHATTANOOQA.

JL*roporty Worth Ovor llitlf A Million I llurntHl Hilt! TWO Woman Injured. I CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 58.—The lives of a hundred girls were imperiled

Saturday by a fire which swept away property valued at $500,000, For a time it looked as if the business portion of the city was doomed to destruction. At 12:45 a Are which had evi- ,.... dently been smoldering for hours In

the basement of D. B. Loveinan & Co.'s dry ^oo ts houac, tho largest in the south. Hashed into a blaze and ran up the elevator. The ladies shopping on the ground floor and the 100 girls employed on the upper floors ran for their lives, barely escaping, and two, Miss Johnson and Mrs. Hearst, jumped from the upper floor, sustaining severe injuries. The dry good house of Erviu •& Co., immediately adjoining, soon caught fire. East of the l.ovemau block was Cherry street, a very narrow thoroughfare, with tho Times oflice on the corner. The Times came out unscathed except for a small loss. Lovcman's building eornered on Eighth street, barely 40 feet wide, and the flames jumped it at a bound, destroying the first building, running through from Market to Cherry street, and soon cleaned out the upper floors of two threes'ory buildings adjoining. The fire department of the city comprises only three second-class steamers and two hook and ladder trucks. Telegrams for aid were sent to lvnoxville, Atlanta and Nashville, lvnoxville responded, seuding an engine. After a long fight the fire was gotten under control.

MONTT INAUGURATED. Chill** New rrpglriont Inducted Into OtHce—Xo Attempt at Trouble bj tlttlmacerilfttft, as the Milltury rreparatlon*

Were TeiTect. VALPARAISO, Dec. US.—At the inauguration ceremonies of Chili's new president, Admiral Jorge Montt, at

Santiago

Saturday, all the foreign ministers wero present with exception of the United States representative, Mr. Egan. llis absence crused much comment in diplomatic circles. No explanation has been given for his non-appearance. The inauguration took place in the presence of a vast and enthusiastic assemblage. Everything passed »ff quietly, despite the ugly rumors prevalent for some days past that the occasion would be seized upon by the Balmacedists ns a favorable upportunity for an outbreak and attempt to assassinate the new chief magistrate. If any such plan had been in contemplation the imposing military display by the authorities evi dently overawed its promoters.

President Montt took the oath of office in the hall of congress and then proceeded to the cathedral, where he received the blessing of the church and a Te Ileum was sung There was a great crowd in attendance. Troops lined the street through which the presidential- procession passed and armed soldiers were sta tioncd at all points as far as the eye could reach.
