Theprogromme shows the result careful arrangement, and there can be no lagging anywhere in it. Solos by Miss Lisle and Mr. Lemon and the recitation by Mr. Sears will prove most entertaining variations from the instrumental part of the programme, which, however, Is sure to be of the best. There will be a short intermission after the conceit, during which refreshments will be served, and then will come the dance.

Ten dances are on the programme, the opening march, a polka, a quadrille, "Coming Thro' the Rye," and five waltzes. This, with the concert, ought to furnish an evening's amusement that would satisfy almost anybody. Every member of the club is out hustling with tickets and with a programme as attractive as this one, with an admission of only twenty- five cents to the whole show, they should have no difficulty in disposing of an unlimited number of them. The evening promises to be cool and delishtful. and everything points to most delightful entertainment.

During her stay in this city she has been the truest of Miss Edna Howard, of EaBt Second street. Was It Incendiary? A silent alarm called the fire de partment down on Bridge street this afternoon to put out a fire that had been discovered in the barn situated on the rear part of Mr. W. G. Hous- er's property.

The flames were extinguished be fore the department arrived, by the aid of a bucket brigade. The dam- aee done was slight. Some burned ends of matches found lying near where the fire started gave rise to the suspicion that an Incendiary had been at work. No other cause can be assigned. Supplled From His Own Family.

Internal Revenue Collector Mo- Millen has a son, Mr. 8. E. McMil- len, recently graduated at Dart mouth College, who will take a position as clerk in the Revenue office on the 1st of August. Mr.

iur. auu mrs. wiuiam Bonner are two. The holy tie of matrimony tnat bound them aud the two-hearts-with-but-a-single-thougbt existence has been ruthlessly torn and trampled in the dust by Wil liam. It will be remembered by the readers of The Daily Gazette that last fall William Sohner, young boiler maker aged 24, mar ried Mrs.

Doyle, a widow who had passed her fortieth year and who had a family of children and some little property. At the time of the marriage, sur prise was expressed by the friends of Mrs. Doyle, that she should take such a step as tire one she was about to take, for Sohner was compara tively a stranger, who had come to board with Mrs. Doyle, snd no one had any Idea that a marriage would be the culmination of the two being thrown into contact. The marriage an accomplished fact, the public accepted it as such, and Mr.

and Mrs. Sohner pursued the even tenor of their way. All went merry as a marriage bell until the pay car came In on the B. O. R.

just about ten days ago. Sohner drew his money and then left for parts unknown. Mrs. Doyle was inclined to think that she could find her husband, and she took a trip to Portsmouth here his parents reside, with a view to getting hubby to come back, but hubby was not there. His mother was shocked to learn of his conduct and said she would disinherit him.

The husband, on last Saturday, wrote a letter to his wife asking for giveness, ana saying ne was sorry for leaving. His wife is ready to re ceive him fo her bosom again, and is looking for him to come home. Mrs. F. R.

Edwin Safford His Description of the Queer Dwellings of the Akutan Islanders, aud of the Islanders Themselves Houses That are Covered With Flowere-Shishalden, the Most Symmetrical Volcano in the World. As Indicated in yesterday's issue. The Daily Gazette to-day presents another of the series of letters from Lieutenant Safford. The former letters attracted much attention and proved extremely interesting, aud these will not be less so.

Lieut. Satford's attainments as a scientific archueologlst, botanist naturalist make bis observations valuable, as their accuracy may be depended upon. In the letter given to-day he tells of the queer habitants and habitations of the Island of Akutan in a most interesting way. To-morrow's letter will be even more interesting, dealing with the seal fishing, fisheries and fishers. The letter to-day is as follows I U.

8. S. Alert, Malaska Harbor, June 17th, 1894. My Dear Mother: We have just experienced a severe gale; but we sougnt refuge in a little harbor on the coast of Akutan Island, and so escaped the greater part of it. vvnue there we visited a native illage.

M. Dlttey, the receiver for the Citizens National Bank, of Hillsboro, has carried the Lynch bnrg bank case into the States courts. Mr. Isma Troth, as trustee for the creditors of the Lynchburg bank had brought suit against Mr. R.

M. Dlt tey, as receiver, to recover some 11.000 which Clarence Overman, as President of the Citizen's National had borrowed of the Lynchburg bank. Mr. Dlttey claimed that th monev had been borrowed by Over man. and without the knowledge of the officers ef the bank.

Mr. Troth claimed that Mr. Over man at that time stood as the rep resentatlve of the bank, and that his action had official approval. Th suit was first brought In the Com mon Pleas Court, of Highland county, but by Judge Dlttey's action hna now been taken to the United States Circuit Court. Clinton Whltten's Story in Regard to the Alienation of His Wife's Affections by His Employer.

The Daily Gazette yesterday, referred to a sensation that was brewing np In Union township, which would very likely end In the courts. The story was not published yesterday, owing to the fact that the attorney who had been consulted in the case could not be found. The parties to the proposed suit are Clinton Whltten and Ira Lutz both well-known citizens of Union township. The attorney in the case is Hon. Archibald Mayo.

Mr. Whit-ten was in the city on Saturday and told bis troubles to quite a number of citizens, stating that he had consulted Mr. Mayo, and asserting that he would probably take the matter into court. Mr. Mayo was "seen by a Daily Gazette representative, and, while he refrained from making any statement from professional scruples, still enough was gleaned from him to give color to Mr.

Whitten's statements. Mr. Whittea's story, as told to The Daily Gazette, is to the effect that Ira Lutz and Mrs. Whitten have evinced an undue regard for one an other, and that while he tried to break it up by sending Mrs. Whltten out to Illinois and telling her to remain there, she failed to do so, aud came home again, when Lutz and she once more resumed their relations Mr.

Whitten claims to have letters that passed between the parties that confirm his story and he intends t) enter suit against Lutz for alienating his wife's affection. He will also bring suit for divorce. Mrs. Whitten's maiden name was Reed, and her home is at Kingston, her mother, Mrs. Eleanor Reed, still living there.

Mr. Whitten asserted on Saturday that he would not live with his wife any it is said that a brother of the wife takes sides with the husband. Mr. Mayo, when interviewed, stated that Mr. Whitten had consulted him, but as to whether any case would be brought or whether there was any foundations for Mr.

Whitten's suspicions he would not say. Miss Mary O'Connell left, this morning, for an extended visit with frsends and relatives at St Louis, Mo. Miss Pauline Grimes, who has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Harry W.

Chapman for some will return to her home iu Portsmouth, Ohio, Thursday, escorted by her parents, who are now in this city. A Delicate Operation. Dr. W. A.

Hall performed a very delicate operation, yesterday, on Mr. Frank Hitch, a farmer residing at Carey Station. He has been bed ridden with pleurisy for some time, and an operation was necessary. Dr. Hall used an aspirator on the patient, and drew three pints and a half of liquid from his left pleural cavity.

He has been a constant suflerer for the past six weeks, but is much relieved now, and hopes are entertained for his recovery Beneath the Silvery Benms. Blistered bands were what was taken home by the boys in the boat ing party last night. The pull down the river was not hard, but with the boats loaded down, the pull back seemed endless. But notwithstanding these disagreeable things, a very pleasant time was passed The party met at Miss Helen BUbs's, on Main street, at 7 o'clock, and then walked to the river from there. Embarking in three boats, the party rowed below the Scioto Valley bridge a little way, and then held the boats together and floated with the current.

Those that composed the party were Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Chapman Misses Pauline Grimes, Helen Bliss Bartha Pinto, Carllne Wolfe, Lily, Anna and Daisy Socln, and Anna Perkins, Messrs.

Arthur Wolfe, Andy Lyle Evans, Ernie Raper and Walter Beldeman. Lunch was eaten down the river. and the time was passed very pleas antlv In sintrlnir and playing on the guitar. It was about midnight when the party reached home. Do you Uemeruber Him 1 Mr.

Dnn Robber Knocked Tt rough a Fence and Taken to Police Headquarters Where He bas Been Wanted for Six Months Charter Brake Shoots a Striker Through the WindpipePlenty of Excitement and Any Amount of Hard Work -A Month When Sleep and Food Had to be Taken Wherever it Could be Obtained Officer Hamm's Exciting Ex perience of Last Saturday Night. Some scoundrel or scoundrels tried to wreck a passenger train on the Baltimore Ohio South-western Railway this morning, and only an accident prevented the attempt proving successful.

When operator Marsh, stationed at Wintou Place, went to work, this morning, he found a tie wedged in the main rail, aud the cross-over rail at Mitchell avenue. It had, been put in after local freight train No. 70 passed, about 5 o'clock this morning, for the purpose, no doubt of wrecking a passenger train. The officials of the road were notified of the attempt at once, and will make every attempt to apprehend the would-be train-wrecker. Officer George Hamm, now em ployed as a special detective on the Baltimore Ohio South-western Railway, came up to this city on pas senger train No.

2 yesterday even ing, and remained over here until this afternoon, when he returned to his post of duty at Cincinnati. The Daily Gazette ran across Officer Hamm at the depot, this morning, and asked him what kind of a time he had been having since the strike began. "Well," said Officer Hamm, "there has been plenty of excitement ever since the strike began, and Stanley and myself have both been kept pretty busy, eating and sleeping just where we got a chance. The last tmr days there has been a good deal of trouble, too. "Last Thursday night, a striker thiew a rock at yard engine 11 and struck the engineer in the side, hurt ing him badly.

Charley Brake, ono of the deputies sworn in here, was on the engine, and he let go at the fellow, shooting hirri right through the windpipe. "Last Saturday night, Stanley and myself and some deputies were coming in on a train. I was near the end of the train, and one of the strikers threw a rock at me. I jumped off right there and went after him. There were six or eight of them together, and I tried to get my man away, but couldn't.

I got behind a telegraph pole, and as one of the men came past, looking for me, I smashed him over the head with a big hickory club I had in my baud. Stanley and the deputies came back just then, and we carried him down to a patrol box and turned in an alarm. The patrol wagon took him to police headquarters. "The next day, Lieutenant Lang- don came down to the hotel and said the fellow was a house-breaker and burglar whom the Cincinnati police had been after for six months and had not been able to capture." The Chillicothe boys who are at Cincinnati are getting along nicely, and all of them like their new posi- tions So does Mr. Hamm, to judge by appearances, and there Is little prospect of his asking to be taken back on the force here.

Struck by Lightning. The B. O. depot at Scloto- ville, was struck by lightning dur ing the storm last Friday. The roof was set on fire, but the flames were checked they gained very much headway.

He Ought to be Clubbed. Mr. Joseph Hanks is red hot after the villain who has been destroying his chickens. Mr. Hanks lives at' the corner of High and Arch streets, and bas a large number of chickens, mostly of fine breed, of which he Is.

or has been, very proud. Ever since Friday morning bis chickens have been dying In the most mysterious way, until yesterday, thlrty-ono of their number had departed this life. There were no signs of any of the ordinary diseases peculiar to poultry, and yesterday Mr. Hauks took the last victim to Dr. Wachenschwanz for examina tion.

The examination showed that its I crop, stomach and intestines were full of powdered glass. Some oue with a grudge against Mr. Hanks I had evidently taken that cruol and villainous way of obtaining revenge. I Mr. Hanks suspects a certain mani ana, ne can ootain eviaence, win 1 prosecute him.

Hill Paying Time. The County Commissioners held their regular bill paying meeting yesterday. No other business of Importance was transacted. Toe State Commissioner of Railroads, Soperin-teadant of Canals, State Engineer and One of the ard of Foblic Works all Here. The Railroad Committee on Council made a tour of the city today with Railroad ComtnisHioner Kirkby to lookj after the placing of the railroad safety gates which council petitioned for a long time ago.

The entire morning was consumed in looking into the needs of the city at the different railroad crossings. All the crossings were visited by the party, which was composed of Messrs Tschumy, Higley, Doerres, Kern, Solicitor Wiedler, Supt. Chas. Howard of theB. O.

and state railroad Commissioner Kirkby. Commissioner Kirkby took in the situation and said that safety gates were out of the question. Alarm bells or watchmen would have to be stationed at the crossings. Safety gates caused too many accidents by persons being caught in between them and killed. Where these watchmen and bells will be placed, if placed at all, the commissioner will decide later, having taken the matter under advisement.

Another batch of state officials visited the city to-day, also. The party consisted Hon. Charles Groce, of the Board of Public Works, Charles Perkins, state engineer, and Charles A. Goddard, the superin- teudant of this division of the canal The visiting officials, in company with the council committee on streets and alleys, Solicitor Wiedler and City Engineer Dawley, visited the scene of tho proposed Fifth street sewer, to look into objections raised by the canal men to draining it into the canal.

The Board of Health met at the Mayor's office last night. It was called to order at eight o'clock, Messrs.

Kendrick, Murphy, Hosier and Mayor Waddle being present, Health Officer Cole and Sanitary Policeman Enderlin also lent their presences to the enhancing of the scene. Clerk McVicker not being present, the health officer was pressed into service and made to do a little work as clerk.

At Frankfort, Cor nelius Stanley, July 23, pneumonia The health officer reported that there were no contagious diseases. Mr. Murphy reported that the committee appointed to examine the stairway leading up over Harraan's grocery, hud decided that it was a nuisance and that It ought to be taken awav. The room to which the stairway leads is occupied by Joseph W. Saul, but there is also an Inside stairway and an elevator leadiug to it.

The peculiar thing about it was that Mr. Saul was compelled to use the outside stairway, Mr. Murphy moved that the structure be declared a nuisance 1 and ordered removed within ten days. The motion carried unani mously. Mr.

Hosier reported that he had received several complaints about the condition of Honey Creek. Mr Ketnery had said that its condition was so bad, that it could not be put up with. On motion of Mr. Hosier, Mayor Waddle was instructed to in corporate a clause in his proclama tion waraing everyone living along Honey Creek from throwing any thing into it, and the sanitary policeman was instructed to keep a 3harp lookout and see that the com mand is Just then Clerk McVicker came In and relieved Dr. Cole of the arduous duties of secretary.

Mr. Hosier reported that the con dition of the vaults of the old Hum mel property on South Mulberry street was simply horrible, and that there had been many complaints about it. Nobody seemed to know who was responsible for this state of affairs and the Mayor was instructed to look the matter up and then tell the sanitary policeman what do. Mayor Waddle handed iu a com munication he had received from council, embodying the resolution recently adopted, asking that the Board of Health define the duties of the health officer more accurately, The general opinion of the board seemed to be that the duties of the health officer were already well de fined. The communication was or dored received, however, aud placed ou (lie.

The dumping of ashes and garb-ago into the streets and alleys has become almost a fixed habit because of nou enforcement of the city ordi nance, while the habit of swepiog paper into the streets, making them look unsightly, has been a bad practice of long standing. The same may be said of allowing packing cases and empty store' boxes to fill up -the sidewalks. Council once beforeordored Mayor Waddle to enforce the ordinance governing such acta but he reported to council that he was not satisfied that the ordinance would cover all of the inlsdeods.

The matter was referred to the judiciary committee who reported, after consulting the city solicitor, that the ordinances were broad enough to cover every thing and the report was made to the Mayor that he could take action without fear, for the city council and the law were behind him.
