The Clinton bridge has furnished the press of this region many items of interest during its long and checkered career. Kvery time the Wabash goes on a tear it is reported as being on its way down the river. Several men have recently fallen f* )in its dizzy height to the icy waters below. and this week it is reported that Clinton has bought it, anil that hereafter it will be free as the air we breat he.

The plans for the new building on the Havens (t (ieddes lot, corner of Fifth and Main streets, have been accepted by I). I'. Krwin, and work will commence as soon as the weather permits. It will be a three story struct lire, with two large stores on the first floor, eighteen modern olliee rooms on the second, and the third will be fitted tip for hall or club purposes. It will be a handsome edifice, similar In style to that now occupied by the Herz Bazar. The plans were drawn by Floyd &• Stone.

A letter from Major Hussell H. Harrison received by Dr. T. C. Stunkard this week says the Major is still in Cuba, where he had the distinguished honor of being the llr*t American commander of nil the forts In the province. He speaks in glowing terms of the growing and ripe fruits with which he Is surrounded. The major says lie hasn't, worn an overcoat since he has been on the island, but it must not be inferred from this that (he major has no overcoat it is simply too warm for such a .garment.

An Imposition.

It is an imposition on the public that manufacturers should be allowed to put alum into baking powder without saying so on the label.

The so-called "cheap" baking powders are made of alum. They have to be or they could not be offered at the price. But they are not sold as alum powders. Ifthey were housekeepers would not buy them at all.

Cleveland's baking powder is made of pure cream of tartar. All the ingredients are published on the label.

OF LOCAL INTEREST.

The council has ordered concrete walks put down on the east side of Fourt street, from Walnut street to Osborne street.

At a meeting of the police board last Monday, .Tames Lyons was promoted from patrolman to the captaincy made vacant by the death of James I. Pierce. Lyon* has been connected with the force for fourteen years, anrl is now thirty-nine years old. He is considered one of the best men on the force, and during his long service lias never received a reprimand.

The proceedings of the fire committee of ,rnjts

the council were enlivened on Wednesday by a shooting scrajw which resulted seriously to Fred Scott. The committee, consisting of Messrs (irllllth, Hollis nud Smith, with Chief Daugherty, met at headquarters Wednesday afternoon to hear charges agaiust Scott, prefernil by Charles Clark. It appears there has been bad bloo between the parties for some time, which culminated one day last week in Scott going to Clark's house and running the latter and his wife out of doors, Scott being drunk at the time and flourishing a brace of revolvers. For this Hcapade Scott was find, and at a subsequent trial was bound over to the Circuit .court on a peace warrant sworn out by |CIark. In the meantime Scott, who is a litem Iter of the fire department, had had

charges preferred against him, and the committee met Wednesday to hear the evidence, which was of a sensational nature, the name of Clark's wife figuring conspicuousley with that of Scott. While the defendent was giving his testimony Clark drew a revolver and opened fire on Scott, hitting him twice, once in the region of the heart, the other one striking him in the arm after plowing a flesh wound through Councilman Smith's hand. Clark made his escape from the building, but was caught a few minutes later by officers on Ohio street. Scott was removed to St. Anthony's hospital, where he is resting easy. The parties are colored. Clark runs a barber shop on south Second street.

You'd better get photographed right away if you don't want the rise in prices to catch you napping. Word has traveled from the old country that the firms of Sax & Steinbach, who hold a monopoly on the best, grades of photographing paper, have decided to advance the price of their products about (50 per cent., and the local photographers say that they will surely not let the extra sum go out of their profits. So it's down to the consumer. Nowhere else can such good photographing paper be made as in Switzerland, for the simple reason that the water (melted snow) is absolutely pure and leaves no mineral deposit on the paper when washed. In many other parts of the earth have divers persons endeavored to secure as pure water, but all attempts have failed signally, and that's why Sax & Steinbach are now able to play with the picture loving public as their fancies dictate.

The fire fiend seems to have it in for Hreinig iV Miller, who suffered a $23,(100 loss in the big December fire. Last night the fire department was again called on to save them at their new place of business, CM Main street. The fire was discovered in the rear of the room on the lower floor, and before it was extinguished the damage to the stock from smoke and water amounted to about $2,000. From the same cause the stock of the C. B. Brokaw Co., next door, was damaged about $1,000

Her many friends will be shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Katheriue Julia Hlake, in her 48th year, wife of A. Blake, which occurred at her home on south Center street, last night at 10 o'clock. Last Saturday afternoon while engajggd in conversation with her sister, Mrs. C. W Boss, she was stricken with paralysis. At times she rallied from the stroke, and hopes for her recovery were entertained, but late yesterday afternoon she began to sink, and (juietly and peacefully passed away, surrounded by the loved ones of her family. Mrs. Blake was a daughter of J. A. Morgan of this city. She leaves four children, Kdward M., Fanuie A., Mary J., and Charles W. A sister, Mrs. C. W. Boss, of this city, and a brother. Will Morgan, of Chicago, also survive her. Mrs. Blake was a woman of lovable disposition, strong in her love of home and

family, and possessed all those womanly

character which endtared her to

all with whom she came in contact. In the hour of their sorrow the husband and family have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends.

AMUSEMENTS.

The Dazzler, the same jolly, musical Dazzler, that was here earlier in the season will make a return visit at the Grand to. night. In Cosgrove & Grant's Comedians will be found just the same merry company of singers, dancers, comedians and specialty people, that was seen here before but since it was last here, the piece has been embellished with many new songs, dances and specialties, and not a few new •gowns for the ladies. The national flag medley which ends the second act, arouses the patriotic enthusiasm of the audiences to the highest pitch. It is a particular musical and stirring medley of national airs, which is very opprupriate just at this time. The popular verdict upon its last hearing was, that the Dazzler was a very bright evenings entertainment. It is promised that it shall be even more so this time.

Stuart Robson's annual appearance here is invariably accounted an event in the theatrical world, but the forthcoming will be in the nature of a triple one, i. e. the appearance of an old favorite, the produc tion of a grand new comedy, auda supporting company whose collective excellence presages an intel'ectual treat, by reason of the positive worth and esteem in which those players are held. It is said that "The Meddler" would have been a success under any circumstances, but when one takes into consideration the careful manner in which it has been cast, there is little wonder that its success has been recorded in the several cities in which it has been presented. "The Meddler" is from the pen of Augustus Thomas, dramatic writer whose claim of distinction was established several years ago. Among the ad mirablecast of players who surround Mr. Robson during the present season, are to be found the names of Frank C. Bangs, Theodore Backcock, Harold Russell, George Pauncefort, Mrs. Stuart Robson, Gertrude Perry and Marie Burroughs. The latter needs no introduction to our theatregoers. She will be recalled as a joint star with that celebrated English actor, E. S. Willard during the several tours made in America by him. Miss Burroughs is easily in the front rank of American actresses, and is possibly one of the best leading l.ulies who grace the stage of America to-day. She is a woman of unexceptionable intelligence and great personal beauty. At the Grand Monday night.

Is'ext Tuesday evening the Grand will have the first and only production of David Belasco's play, "The Heart of Maryland," which was in New York, Chicago and San Francisco during the past three seasons the chief attraction, and its first representations were given in England last spring and summer at the Adelphi Theater, London, the performances ex tending through twelve weeks, and was the great dramatic event of the season. It was accepted as the most perfectly constructed and most humanly absorbingly interesting American play that has thus far been brought upon the English stage. The stage settings and effects are the same that* were presented fchwhe and during its American tour. The cast is represented by a company of artists especially, selected by Mr. Belasco and includes many of the most popular and talented representative players of tho New York theaters.

Our exchanges* say: "Such feats of daring are beyond the conception of the most reckless. La She is a wonderful high-wire artist and fills bis auditors with awe." Imagine if you can, a single stran of wire stretched from the Eiffel Tower to the ground below. La She, without apparent effort, ascends the wire reaches the topmost height, turns, and with speed compared only to lightning, slides to the ground. There are no Eiffel Towers in this country, but La She is always equal to the emergency. His wire is stretched from the dome of the theatre to the stage below where he daily performs his many astounding feats. La She is one of the many special features with John W. Vogel's Afro-American Mastodon Minstrels allied with the historic production, Darkest America, which comes to the Grand next Wednesday night.

The Broadway Theatre Opera Company, headed by Camille D'Arville, will present the immensely successful comic opera, "The Highwayman" at the Grand next Saturday night. The authors of this new opera are Reginald De Koven and Harry B. Smith, whose fame as writers of popular musical diversions has long been established especially in their other great success "Robin Hood." The organization presenting the new opera here is the permanent stock company of the Broadway Theatre, New York. The company is spoken of as one of the most capable and brilliant that has been assembled for years, including in addition to Miss D'Arville the names of some of the brightest lights in the lyric world. At the Broadway Theatre, in NeifYork, on December 13, the opera was given its three hundreth presentation, I handsome souvenirs, of solid silver being distributed to the audience in comnemonation of the event.
