He was a brother Mr. JVC. Ballard and will be taken to Jamestown for burial, the time of burial not being set. Jpayton The Pay ton tally-ho will be in the inauguration parade, a seemp that Columbus has nothing of the kinol, and as the show would be complete without a tally-ho this city been called upon to furnish the. vehicle, team of six and driver.

After the parade, members of the press will enr joy a ride about the city. It is not learned whether Bob Kevin has been invited to ride or not.

Piqua is enjoying a first class sensation over tne arrest of Edward T. Loweree, Cleric of the Board of Education of G-lendale, aud book-ireeper for the Corrugated Iron Hoofing of Piqua.

Jackson and Robert Williams were elected delegates to attend the proposed National League to be held at Chicago on the. 15th inst A New York manager has offered Henry M. Stanley 81,000 a lecture foi 50 lectures to be delivered in America during next winter, and the great explorer has not yet signified whether he will accept the offer or not.

It would take some wonderful calculation to figure out a profit for any manager who makes such a generous offer as that.

Mr. William Buckles, who went to Washington C. K. to assist in making the water works test, arrived home this morning. The test was given in a satisfactory manner yesterday afternoon, seven streams of water being thrown over the court house, and everybody is happy.

Mackay, whose wealth has not made him so famous as his wife's extravagance in spending it, is 55 years old.

He has a hard face, whose features have not a single redeeming virtue. Mrs. Mackay, who has known much poverty in her life, has a strongly developed genius for spending money in a loud and luxurious way. Mr. Mackay lives three-fourths of the year in California, where he enjoys a freedom from restraint and etiquette which makes his elegant residence in London a bore.

An amusing instance of how to make a balky horse move along, and how a way-faring man knew more about horse nature than a preacher, occured on the Columbus pike, near Henry Conklin's residence this morning. Mr. Milburn, the blind preacher, and wife were driving along the road when the horse balked. For quite a while Mr. Milburn tried his persuasive powers on the animal, finally resorting to the whip, but without avail.

A man coming along the road stopped, picked up a whisp of straw, tied it to one of the horse's fore legs, when the animal being touched started off as thoush he had never stopped in his life. The theory of this means of starting a balky horse is that an animal can only think of one thing at a time, and his mind being engaged with the straw tied to his leg can not think of the balk. SWEDISH LADIES CONCERT. Remember the "Sweedish Octette" concert at Opera House next Monday evening, January 13th. We give below a criticism from Cincinnati Times-Star under date January 1st, 1890.

It was a treat to hear the Swedish Ladies Concert troupe at the Odeon last night. The voices of the singers are delightfully fresh and and their concerted singing is a revelation in this kind of music. Besides a number of Swedish melodies and foil? songs they sang, in response to encores, "The Suwanee River'' and "The Land of the Leal." Solos were sung by Miss Amelie Heden, Miss Agnes Staberg, and MIBB Elizabeth Bruse. The voices of Miss Heden and Miss Bruse are pure contralto and their singing is of the finest description. The soprano of Miss Staberg is as clear and pure as a Swedish icicle, but withal she sings from the heart and her method is that of the true artist.

The ladies are assisted in the entertainment by Mr. Melvin R. Day, the Boston recitationist, who rendered several popular selections from James Whitcomb Riley, Mark Twain, Dickens and others, gaining several recalls. Another performance will be given this evening. funeral of Dr, Egan, DAYTON, Jan.

funeral of Dr. J. E. Egan, a prominent citizen, a victim of the grip, was largely attended to-day. The Knights of St.

George and Hibernians turned out. The remains were sent to Washington G. the doctor's former home. THE TRUANT OFPIQEE'S WORK. More Than Sixty Scholars Added to the School Rolls, Truant officer Sol.

K. Harner has been industriously at work gathering in the truants since the first of the year, When the new law went into force. He has visited the factories and families of the poor until he has gathered in about sixty. Some of these, indeed many of them, had to be furnished with books, and fifteen were furnished with shoes- Under the law the township officers must provide for poor children while attending school if they are dependent on their labors for a living, their parents not being able to provide for them. In some instances boys under fourteen years old have been taken from employment where they were earning three dollars a week.

This deficit is being partly made up by the township authorities. In the case of the children who have no fit clothing to wear, the ladies about town are providing for them. In the case of children over fourteen and not sixteen, Prof.Cox tests them by giving them the local page of the DAILY GAZETTE to read aud if they can do that intelligibly they pass and are not required to attend school. In some cases tried the pupils were unable to do ao. So far the new law is working like a charm.

EXTRAORDfflAKY ENGAGEMENT Of a Little Six-Years-Old Girl at Dayt Yesterday, Dayton Journal Several children were playing at the foot bridge over Greenville creek, near George Buchy' slaughter house. Emmie Buchy, aged six, daughter of George, ran upon the bridge and fell into the water, which was six or seven feet deep, the creek being high. An alarm was given, and Mr.

Bucby and his men used every effort to rescue the child, going into the ice-cold water to their necks, but the strong current swept her away from them. A few minutes'later John Hape" found the body about tvro squares be low the bridge, and medical assistance was at once secured, but life could not be restored.
