The Carrie Russell Opera Co. Fooled Km. The Carrie Russell Opera Co. which held forth at the Opera House Monday night was a very bummy affair. A lot of bills which the Company passed around on the sly yesterday led many of the old bald heads te suspect that the show would be naughty if not nice. It fooled a good many and they were disappointed. The company acted poorly, danced indifferently and sung worse. The bills advised the men to "Keep it quiet" and we rather think they will at home for they were fooled.

THE VITY VIC I OKIOUS.

Judsie Hmlley Kctur a Special Finding iu the Case «1 tie -la«e vs Cit.v oi tireeutieid.

While Jurige Hadiey, of Dauville, has not rendered his decision in the case oi Marion Steele vs the City of Greenfield to enjoin the cisy from building a sewer whi-.n empties in Brandywine creek, which was tru-d before him, he his at the request of the lines returned a specittl finding of facts. In this he goes on and fluids a number of facts v\ hich were not controverted, such as Greenfield is a city of 6,000 inhabitants, Pjtt's Branch is a stream, as is also Brandywine creek. He further finds that the water of said creek, whicn descends to plaintiff's farm after use by city and other viparian owners, are in a state of mineral and vegetable pollution, unlit for animals to drink or domestic use. The unfitness of said water for said purposes will not De increase by the precipitauts discharge therein at Greeeutield of the intended contents of the sewer constructed and under contract by said city. 11. The plaintiff upon receiving notice the city would construct a sewer emptying into Brandywme, gives nocice that he will bring suit to enjoin the same which he did~ at the Novtmber term of eourt. 12. Brandywine forms the only outlet for sewerage and other drainage for tbe city of Greenfield. 13. At tbe time the resolution and ordinance passed for the construction by the city of said sewer the city was in debt to an extent exceeding 2 per cent, of its taxable property.

It will be seen that in the main these findings of facts favor the city and that the sewer will be constructed as surveyed and contracted for. A law that would not allow the city to drain its sewerage into Brandywine would cut off every city in the State from sewerage. Sewerage has to follow a natural outlet, the laws of nature compel such a coarse, and the laws of man allow and favor it.

COURT HOUSE NOT LET.

Hays & Son of Cleveland, O., Failed to Take the Bonos, and the Contract For a New Couit Bouse Not Let.

The contract for the new court house could not be let today as Hays & Son, of Cleveland, O., who recently bought the County bonds, failed to show up with the money aud the law forbids ibe letting of the contract without the money is on hands. The commissioners therefore did not open the bids but will have to re advertise and let the contract in April.

A represcntatiue of U. W. Harris & Co., of Chicago, was here, however, and the commissioners accepted their bid for the bunds which was next to that of Hays & Son being a premium of $2,700. The County, however, will have to lose a month's interest. Hays & Son may have a hard time in buying any more bonds in Hancock county, as this is their second failure to take bonds they have bought. They also went back on the bonds for the city High School building after a fair and square purchase. The chief trouble now is, there will be two months delay in beginning the court house, although the bids were not opened, we understand that they ranged from $135,000 to $150, 000 and over. We will indeed have a fine court house.

Rumored Strike.

It is rumored at the stove foundry today that the moulders will strike for a 10 per cent, raise in wageB this evening. They have notified George Alig, the owner of the. foundry of their Intentions and If he does not give the raise the fonodry will be Bhut down tomorrow.
