RAVAGING STOCK.

Prairie Creek Farmers Before the County Commissioners. Yesterday the entire day, in the County Commissioners' court, was occupied with hearing arguments, for and against, the granting of a petition, signed bvover 260 Prairie Creek fanners, praying that the board enact a rule compelling owneis to "keep up" their live stock in the Wabash bottoms of the township. The question is one which is said to be of grave importance to the farmers of that section. Since 1878, the farms," for the greater number, in the bottoms, have been fenced sir times, involving, it is said, great expense. Whenever the river has arisen out of its banks, this vast length of fencing has been swept away. The petitioners claim that it is expensive and impracticable for them to fence their lands under the circumstances, and therefore pray that their neighbors on the uplands and in the bottoms who have all along permitted their cattle and other live stock to run at large shall hereafter be compelled to keep the same from running wild and foraging on other than the owners premises. Mr. S. R. Hamill for the petitioners and Messrs. Foley and Taylor for those remonstrating argued the case. The commissioners will probably announce their deoision this forenoon.

The Electric Light.

There will be no electric lighting the streets until next Monday. ni| force of wiremen have been

gj rhat

retarded b/ lack of material of wire arrived yesterday and being

strung in the Bagdad ^district A force of men have been following the wiremen putting up lamps, globes and carbons. The engine and machinery at the plant have been tested and found in perfect working order. Along the side of one the engines these figures have been painted—"7 to 5"—indicating the vote by which the council adopted the electric light system.

THE EXPLOSION.

Doable FunertU of Ethington and Buckingham Sunday—The Injured. The -funeral of James E. Ethington and Frank M. Buckingham, victims of the explosion at the distillery, occurred Sunday afternoon. At 1 o'clock, the Thompson Rifles, of which the deceased were members, assembled at their armory. Joined by the Hager Veterans, they marched to the late residence of Ethington, corner of First and Wilson streets, and then to the late residence of Buckingham, corner of First and Oak, and thence to St. Stephen's church, escorting the remains. There Dr. Walter Delafield, pastor of St. Stephen's and chaplain of* the company, reached a touching sermon. Myers iroe.' band headed the procession from the church to the cemetery. The„procession was in the following order: .H

Band.

•... The Remains of Buckingham. Relatives and Friends.. Hat(er Veterans. .'-v 7 The Remains of Ethington..

Relatives and Friends.

Dr. Delafield conducted the services at the semetery. The Rifle? fired three volleys over the graves of the dead comrades, and left them to their long sleep.

Yesterdey afternoon and evening Robert Slaven, the worst injured of those distillery employes exposed to the explosion, was considerably improved. He suffers intensely but, as Dr. Stunkard, his attending physician says, "displays wonderful recuperative energy." He is not yet out of danger.

Michael Ryan, at the hospital last evening was resting quite easily. Although having received several bruises and cuts on various portions of his body, his worst injury is said to be of an internal character.

George Otterman had $1,000 insurance on his life, which goes to his son, who paid the premiums.

The coroner's inquest will be resumed at 9 o'clock this morning. Inspector Knowlton, of the Hartford Insurance company, who inspected the boilers at the distillery a short time before the explosion, will then give his testimony.

'THE COCKED HAT.'

First Stage Rehearsal ol John B. Hager's New Musical Comedy. Some few weeks ago Mr. John B. Hager after long study completed the music and libretto'of a four-act operetta which he has samed the "Ccfcked Hat." It has been rehearsed privately for the past three weeks with a view to its rendition in public, if possible, on the 9 th of March. In words and music there are the unmistakable evidences of musical and dramatic ability. For the first time the play, in rehearsal, was put on the stage last night at the Grand Opera house.

The following is the cast o£ characters: Boots John B. Hager. Hnssler George Mahare. Rudolph De Bote Will Morgan. General Braggs John Aikman. Commodore Swank Adolph Gagg. The Sergeant Ernest Noble. The Marine Will Katzenbaoh. Helen Miss H. Paige. Matilda Mrs. Jennie Diggs. Beatrice Mrs. Will Morgan. Lissette Mrs. J. B. Hager. Aooompaniest Miss Emma Allen. Stage director Mr. Frank C. Banaldson.

When thoroughly learned, the "Cocked Hat" will undoubtedly prove a most pleasing entertainment, for the words are veiy bright and the music sparkling. In addition to the music of the operetta, Mr. Hager has composed a complete score of orchestral interludes to be rendered between the acts.

K's C'd F. C., K. T. and K. S. No housekeeper can afford to be without it. We mean Knowles' Combined Flonr Chest, Kneading Table and Kitchen Safe. It saves the housekeeper miles of walking, and makes the bread and pantry work a pleasure. Call and see it at Filbeck House.
