They were driving along the New road at a lively gate when the lantern globe struck the side of the sleigh and was broken. One of the robes waw instantly but the presence of mind of Mr. Williams in throwing all the robes from the sleigh prevented any seriou-i consequences from fire. Tlie horse, however, was badly frightened, and overturned the sleigh by his phing- ine. Both occupants escaped with only a few slight bruises.

THE OIL FEVER. eral other divorce cases which w'ill be filed ia a few days so that the number to come up at the next term of court will be unusua.ly large. Riiference to the marriage license docket shows that during the past few days the divorce applications have almost i kept pace with the marriage licenses issued. This state of ati'airs led a prominent attorney to say is now considered more of a lottery than ever and participants often, no doubt, take the matrimonial vows with the divorce court in View if it proves a failure. The fact is all manner of deceit is practiced by both sexes before marriage to entrap each other.

If the women are religious, then is their admirer a constant attendant at church. He bowa his head with reverence in prayertime, converses feelingly on the of religion and obtains a reputation, at least for morality, be he ever so depraved at heart. At the toilet he Fays each particular hair where it will show to the best advantage. So does she. If his form is ualy he bribes the tailor to conceal defects.

Many a man has married a arnifui of female loveliness which proved to be iiitle more than he couid have purchased at aay fashionable drygoods store, and many a woman has leanetl her aifection- ate head against a shoul 1er too weak to fcupport it. Young people, full of moonshine, poetry and romance frequently form whit they fancy must be gratified or thsir disappointed hopes will drive them to or the grave.

WAS THETHEMOMETER Benjamin WatldiuKtnn Tries an Kxperl- inent and it Not Meet With nonienal Berjamin Waddington, 77 County Line street, one of a number of men who made a bet Wednesday evening as to the respective thermometers. The winner of the wajjer was to the thermometer which would register the lowest number of jcgrees of heat. Mr. Waddiniiton desired very much to have that inslra- ment so he packed his calorific tube in He wa? amctzed Tburs lay morn- I to find that it about IH Hive zero In he threw it away and he now wonders what was the mst'er with it.

VViU High school boy or girl tell Tfhat was ihe mailer? A of complainte were brought tkjfore Burgess Doude day iifiernoon. It was the case mentioned exclusiveiy in he ews of the iiifjrmation made by Francis Jenkins against Frank Hammond and wife, for assault and surety of tiie peace. Frank Hanamond and wife turn ma le an information against Jenkins, charging him with non-payment of a five board bill, and with indecent conduct. The circumstances are peculiar, and neither side seem able to prove much of a case, in fact it is merely a which would far better have been settled at home The parties live together in a small house owned by Jenkins, which is situated at the foot of the Youngstown hill The trouble began Tuesday afternoon about four whn Mrs. sister was calling.

The two women were talking over some private when Jenkins came in He sat down in the room with them and frequently would go between them to fuss with the fire. Mrs. Hammond asked him kindly leave the Jenkins refused, and used indecent language. According to the testimony of Mrs sister both parties became anirry. Jenkins claims that Mrs.

Hammond hit him with a poker, and Mrs. Hammond says struck her with the Mrs Hammond put him out of doors, caused her arrest. From the testimony, not much of an assault and surety of the peace case was proven, and Burgess Douds divided the costs between them. In the information against Jenkins for the unpaid five board bill, a curious state of afiairs was revealed. The house is owned by Jenkins, who claims that the Hammonds came there five weeks in straightened circumstances with only one small box of goods.

He gave them the use of the house and furnishings, and they were to board him. Ttie Hammonds say that they were to pay a month rent and that Jenkins bad to pav them a week for board Neither side produced any con elusive evidence, and Burgess Douds reserved his decision. A surprise party was tendered the Misses Jennie and Mollie Suber of Harbor street, Wednesday evening. The atfair was arranged by the Misses Annie Holsinger and Josephine Kriler, and was successfully planed and carried out. The Misses Saber were taken completely by surprise when a number of the prominent society young people presented them selves to spend the evening, but the ladies proved equal to the occasion, and were charming hosteses.

The callers had come laden with good things to eat, and an elegant supper was served, adding much to the enjoyment. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Beaty are thoroughly drilling the actors in the coming benefit entertainment, which occurs Friday evening. Mr.

Beaty says, will be two and one-half hours of soiid fun and Among the many attractions will be a sketch by McDonald and Charles Sankey. The silver medal prize for the contest is both valuable and ornamental and is worth trying for. Artificial Ice plant, which has not been running the past month and a half, will commence making ice again, beginning next Monday. A contract for 200 tons of ice has been received, which will require about 20 days to manufacture When the works stopped running, there was a large stock of ice, and this has been used in filling orders. The plant has been thoroughly overhauled, and some new apparatus added, among which is a new filter.

George Glass, who has the contract for clearing the glass in the packing and cutting rooms of the Shenango Glass which was damaged by the fire, has nearly completed the work. He has prepared it, so that it is now ready to be put into the tank and made over into new glass. the school buililing one of the large pipos hicb conducts ihe heat from iLie iurnace to some of t.he rooms became disconnected VV'edneeday afternoon and Romfi of the rooms were too cold for comfon.

There is a world of significance which Is fully appreciated in this country in the fact that the queen sent a warm message of condolence to the dowager Duchess of Marlborough on the death of her son, but no word to the widow, Lady Randolph Churchill. Tho omission carries with it peculiar because Lady Randolph has been most faithfnlly devoted during her long illness, and whatever gossip may have said in the past there has been no question in recent years of her rank and prominence in tho best so cial circles. She has of course never been able to expiate the crime of being an Dispatch. Mercer Firm.
