Tha sky at one o'clock this morning was brightly illumined, and there seemed a probability that the town of Kingston was to suffer another serious loss by fire.

We learned later that some buildings on Mice's Hill, back of Kingston, were In flames, but at the hour of going to press bad not received particulars as to the extent of the lire. Full particulars will be given to-morrow. A Hew Maaleal OrwaalaaMaa. The orchestras of Prof. Kieg and Prof.

Battger have dissolved, and a new orchestra has been formed of the best musicians of the two, with Prof. as leader. It will be known as "Prof. Baettgers Or-sliestra." There Is ability enough to make an admirable body and the public will be the gainers by the change. It is to be hoped that the members will stick together now and grow perfect In their playing.

The following are tlie names of those in tlie new orchestra: Mr. J. Barnum. 2nd violin; Mr. A.

When the officer reached her side, he saw her shawl, veil and hat floating ripon the water.and her shoes a ml little satchel upon the bank. The girl was taken to police headquarters and cared for. Here she gave the name of an aunt who lived in town and an officer started to seek her.

He was sue cessf ul, and the woman's son carried the nirl nwRv to cari for her tenderly; let us hope. It is a sickening thought that here In a town of wealth and comfort, in the bright sunlight and in the loveliest days of all tlie year, a child of sixteen years should driven bv despair to throw her oung life away. Cannot something be done for this girl Surely if she is pure and true enough to value her exist ence less thiin her honor she is worthy of respect and of help. It is worth the while of some charitable soul to give this matter attention and if possible make this girl's life a little brighter. Her present residence can lie obtained from the police, At the Motel.

Klitur Iteeord of the Timet: The following is from your issue of yes terday: "Why are not the public fountains allowed to now for the benefit of heated men and ani mals? Is there another hitch between the Water Comuanv ami the Citv Council, or has not the time arrived fur horses and humanity to get There la no "hitch" between the Water Company and the City Council. City Attorney, w.

ft. Aiciean, gave written opinion to the Council a few months since, that there was no contract between the Council and Water Company The Act of Assembly of April 12, in corporating the Wilkes-Barre ater Corn- pan v. provides that tne saia company snail "for a reasonable consideration, which shall be aqreea upon oy tne said company "and tne Town Council" "erect hydrants," etc. It seems that this has never been done by as the act provides. I his ater Company is a truly remarkable institution.

The Council are willing to give them 1 10 per hydrant; the Water Company want S2o, and as there never has been an agreement between the parties, the company revenge themselves on "neatea men ana animals. claim that this is not right. Our City Attorney also gave another opinion that the stock of the Water Company was liable to taxation for city purposes. Our Assessors, iu their wisdom, have not lieen able to find out who the stockholders are. and consequently they pay no tax on their stocK to tne city, i uo not imagine that either of the City Assessors are stockhold ers.

They may or may not be. but this 1 will say that if they were halt as diligent in searehing for the owners of the stock as they are for the cows of some poor widow in onkrthat tbev may be taxed, this stock would be returned and pay its share of the city's burdens as tlie Into direct. I have already said that there is no contract between the Water Company and the city This ought to be 'remedied, and officers elected for and by the ater Company who will contract with the city for water at reasonable There is an impor tant provision ot lie law which is not com filied with. Section 14 of the act provides hat the of the company "shall, on tne nrst Monday ot January and every year publish the half yearly dividends to oe made or tne income aim profits." xe, This should be done. The people would like to Know the amount or tne "income and profits" of this public institution.

Ou the 10th of July, lSoii, the Borough Council gave to the ater Company S-ViOO in six per cent, bonds. These bonds have been paid by the people of this city, and the water company snnuia auow tne public fountains "to flow for the benefit of heated men and animals." i There is yet one other provision of the Act incorporating the Water Company which I desire to call to the attention of the Section provides "That the legislature reserves tne ruzlit in the event of the said company violating any of the provisions of this act or of the privileges hereby granted to the said company, being found injurious to the public to revoke or annul tne charter nereuy granted think the people will agree with me that that the privileges granted to the Water Company have been "found injurious to the public," and their charter should be revoked.

Know not that a line in your local newspaper is worm two on tne sunurban fence or (he everlasting rocks?

Tlie Boroueh Fathers will nive a ten days' notice to owners of dilapidated side walks, and if not repaired within that time. the work will be done by the Borough, and twenty or twenty-five per cent, added to the cost. This is a good move on the part of our borough officers, and the law-abid ing citizens will stand oy mem in the exe cution of their duty. The entertainment of Good Will Lodge. which takes place on Tnesday and Wednes, day evenings, May 20th and 21st, promises to oe tne nnest entertainment oi tne sea son, and its success is already assured.

The participants are rehearsing the dramas with meat zeal, and much interest is man ifested in the affair.

The remarks of Mrs. Harrison, a hand some widow has sense in it: "Let them talk about where I get my new clothes: so long as lean get tor a trifle, Leamon's Dyes made by Wells, Richardson Burlington, Vt, I can always dress well." bring a dozen witnesses; theliqitor was bad enough to kill a man, John McMullen was called and at first refused to give his name or to swear, but the Commissioner threatened to send him to jail for contempt, and then he said that be had seen no one pay for, liquor at Casey's; that he never paid for auy. The witness acknowledged tliat hedrank liquor frequently there, but denied paying for It.

The case was adjourned until to-daj Ataer Banaway. A flat car loaded with scrap iron ran away from Ashley last night between 9 and 10 o'clock. As there is a down grade between Ashley and this city the car soon acquired considerable velocity. As it passed through the city' Alderman Dolia-boe, who was formerly a railroad man, saw it and managed in some way to get on and apply the brakes. The car was not stopped until It had passed through town and reached the up grade near the Baltimore works.

Fortunately there were no trains on the track or there would have been something more serious to chronicle, Pal lea New, i A well dressed man was seen wandering about the streets last night acting in peculiar manner. He would go to a fruit stands bite oranges, and lay them back. He was finally arrested by the Chief of Police, and, after much resistance, placed In the lock-up. If the papers in his pocket prove anything as to his identity there will be some excitement In the Mayor's Court this morniftg. The police were kept busy last night; as there seeiuel to lie a perfect mania for in toxicatinn.

t'p to one o'clock this morn ing three men were in the station house and stveral others had been assisted home. Amwatsta. Canicross' Minstrels will appear at Music Hall ui the 20th. next Tuesday. There are some thirty-six performers, an the programme they offer is replete with fun.

Ilughey Dougherty, so well known as a burnt cork artist, will deliver one of bis inimitable lectures. The burlesque "Pinafore" is said to be the most laugh able extravaganza ever put upon the stage and never fails to create roars of laughter. Dougherty takes the character of Mr Jwteph Porterhoue, and Is funny beyon description. The music is taken generally from the original opera, but there are some extraordinary departures from the text of Gilbert and Sullivan. The end of the play is terrific; there Is a storm, sea-sickness, the Admiral pitches overboard Into the jaws of a hungry shark and the curtain falls, to mournful music.

On the 23d, another minstrel troupe makes its appearauce Emerson's and it comes with strong recommendatious. The Big Four Smith. Waldron, Morton and Martin are specialty artists of unequaled ability, and their performance is most amusing. There is also an admirable quartette of vocalists. Billy Emerson is too well known to require ruoro than an allu sion to his ability.

It Is enouga to say that he is, if possible, better than ever, and most friends of minstrel performances know how good he can be. Tba Sorcerer. The audience at Music Hall last night was not so large as either the merits of the opera or of the company deserved. Those who were present richly enjoyed the per formance. In point, of music, of humor, and of the acting requisite, "The Sorcerer' Is far superior to "Pinafore, The plot, is simple.

John Wellington WrlU, a purveyor of nostrums and dealer with demons, has among his other marvels a philter, thedrinkingof which in spires love for whomever tlie party partak ing first meets. Alexi and Aline, a betrothed couple, apply to the Sorcerer for a sufficient quantity of the potent stuff to supply the village. This is adminis tered iu coffee, at a festival, and from 'this all the confusion arises. Lovers are estranged and form new ties and the absurdities are many and unspeakably ridiculous. When matters have become complicated by the unforeseen separation of the happy couple who instl gated the trouble.

Well is called upon to undo his work. This he asserts cannot be done unless either he or Alexi descends to warmer climes beneath the earth. The universal sentiment con demns him. and he accepts his Subse quently be emerges, clad in summer- rai ment, and cools his heated brow lv tlie aid of a palm leaf fan. The score Is replete with gems, so many In fact as hardly to bear reciting.

In the first act a duet between Sir Marmadule, Mr. Benltz, and Lady Mrs. Barry.ls very fine. There is a lovely tenor solo by Alexis, Mr. Pfau, and the song by Wells, Mr.

Bell, was delightfully musical and amusing. There Is, also a charming duet by Alexi and Aline, Miss BelL Con- ttanee, Miss Carrie Burton, has a delicious little aria in the second act, and the quin tette in this act is a perfect gem. If pos sible the company appeared tt better ad vantage than iu "Pinafore." The music is so much better that they could hardly fail to do so. Miss iturton was even mora attractive man Deiore, ana her voice seemed even purer and clearer, Miss Bell also sang to finer effect. Mr.

Pfau was in better voice, and Messrs. Cooper, Bell and Benitz were delightful, The Sorcerer" Is decidedly the ablest and best effort of Gilbert and Snllivan, and we heartily wish it may be produced here again, and by as good a treupe if there be such as Saville's English Opera com pany. Keaeaed from Death. As officer Khoades was walking up tlie river bank yesterday afternoon to embaik on a steamer, he noticed a young girl going into the water and evidently pre paring to throw herself into the swift cur rent. The officer called to her and then, without a moment's delay, jumped into the water and seized the girl before she could execute her purpose.

When taken to the shore tlie girl wept bitterly she said tliat her name was Eliza Frear and that she was sixteen years old. Her story is really mournfully interesting. Such home as she has Is at Bowman's Creek; her mother Las been In the Insane Asylum since the girl was two years old. From that early age she had received but little care or attention but had been suffered to grow up untaught. When old enough, abe did a boy's WAtk on the farm.

She came here yesterday from Ply mouth, where she had been' at work. In a very sad and despondent frame of mind. Temptation had assailed her to leave her life -of purity and enter upon the downward path- of shame, but she had steadily resisted. In her condition of destitution when there seemed no chance between the cold embrace of the waves and the wages of sin, she unhesitatingly chose the former, and this Is why she was FKT.

1 It looked as if everybody had been awaiting the arrival of these deli- eades. I Mr. A. (rood win, of Kiugston received by express, yesterday, a beautiful setter. marked with black and white.

The dog looks as if it Mere of value, and probably Is, as It was sent all the way from Cliester county.

The Susquehanna Dental Association held their annual meeting at Danville on the Utn and 15th insts. Essays were read by Dr. Beck, of this city, and Dr. Klumn, of YYilliarosport. Each of these called forth Interesting debate.

The meeting was a most enjoyable one. The Diamond mines are rapidly getting Into shaped and it it now said that work will be resumed there next week. Miners living this side of tlu Stanton mines will work at tla- Diamond, and those who live on the otlier side will go to Sugar Notch. This will cive employment to those now Idle.

All the railroads liave now offered reduced rates. CoL. Kacheldt r's lecture on the battle field of Gettysburg will be given this even ing, and flume who fail to be present Will certainly nJWa a very Interesting recital.

Packer had been seriously Injured on the railroad last Mon day. We are Informed tliat he and Supt. Stevison, with special train, were on their way to Philadelphia on that day. At Athens a switch was mis-placed and the train ran Intoanother standing on a switch. Mr.

Packer's lip was slightly cut but he sustained no other injury. As officer having a prisoner In charge ease op from Nantleoke. yesterday, on an LAB. train. The prisoner managed to get away from his keeper and jumped from the train whilst it was at full speed.

The officer nothing daunted followed suit and captured his man. We failed to learn the names of either, as op to a late hour last night they liad not reached the city. Flacky officer, that. On Monday next tlie excursion to Waahlngton will take place. Those from this city eaa take the ear at Kingston, at 10.18 In the morning.

No change of cars will be made. The rates of fare and of hotels are so low that there will be many who ought to take advantage of this opportunity. By reference to the telegraphic columns it will be seen that the President wUl give a reception to the excursionists on thMr arrival at Waahlngton. there, agreeing to furnish board and lodg ing for the entire party at $1 and $1.50 per day. The terms can be relied upon, no matter liow large the number.

As the regular rates at these hotels are from to $3.50 per day, the reduction is certainly remarkable. All should purchase their tickets to-day in order that a sufficient number of cars may be provided to secure" each one a comfortable seat. The recep tion at the White nouse takes place Tuesday evening, the 20th and promises to be a grand affair. A Sia Case. 1 Hichard Lloyd, one of the miners burned at the Stanton mine accident, died at seven o'clock, yesterday morning, at his home on Stanton street.

His death is most unfortunate, in this, that he leaves wife and eight children unprovided for. lie bore anjexcellcnt reputation as a sober and Industrious man, and the grief of his family is most poignant. Death was a re. lief to him, for he suffered most Intensely from bis frightful burns. Much sympathy is expressed for the wife and children, and those who can be removed will be placed in the Home." Mrs.

W. Williams and Mrs. John T. Griffith are doing all In then-power to aid the suffering family, and will be elad to receive auy contributions. It certainly a case appealing strongly to the charitable, and should meet with liberal respouse.

A FrUrkirwl Riaiair. Mr. Joseph Badman, accompanied by his wife and child, took a ride, at Ply mouth, yesterday. Mr. Badman had just got out of doors, having been laid up with a broken leg.

The party had reached Bull Run crossing, on Main street, when a loco motive came along and began to blow off steam. This frightened the horse and he sprang furiously to one side, throwing the occupants from the buggy. Mrs. Bad man struck her head in falling and was badly cut and bruised. She was carried in a senseless condition to a neigh boring house, where she received the neces sary attention.

Her injuries may prove serious. Mr. Badman and his child for tunately escaped with but slight injuries. The frightened horse ran for a long dis tance and succeeded In completely demol Lshing tlie buggy. It was the worst run away Plymouth has known for a longtime The fttaataa Hlae.

The water in the mine has now reached a height of fifty feet and is filling up at the rate of ten feet per day. As before stated the water was at first allowed to col lect without external aid, but on Friday evening, at eight o'clock, tlie water from Blackman's creek was turned in and thus a large Increase in the volume secured. The pumps at the Empire are throwing water into Blackman's creek. Thomas Wagner, who ii at his place almost contin uously, informs us that he thinks the fire Is dying out, as all the air has been shut off. and that It may be smothered before the water reaches it It will require 190 feet of water to reach the burning coat When this is done, the flames can of course be subdued.

The coal Is brought from the Dia- moud mine, on a branch road of the Cen tral K. It After being prepared it is ship- ed by tlie same road. Many of the men, who would otherwise be out of employ ment, are thus kept busy.

Ufflcrr William Baur, armed with an United States warrant, went, yesterday, to tlie saloon of Joseph Casey, on North Main street, near Mill Creek, and arrested him for selling liquor without a license. Casey was found dispensing his wet groceries to thirsty customers. It appears tliat a mau named Gill has been In the habit of fre quenting Casey's place and spending bis money, leaving his family unprovided for. Mrs.

Gill had several times warned Casey to stop furnishing her husband with liquor, but without effect She therefore procured a warrant for his arrest for selling without a license, The case came up before Commissioner Ilahn jesterdsy afternoon, but owing to the absence of witnesses was postponed until half past seven but evening. At that hour the ease was taken up. Mrs. Gill was sworn and testified aa follows Lives on Franklin street; husband's name is Rich ard GUI; be did not give her is per month, on account of drinking at thU place; caught her husband drinking be paid for the liquor; bar own boy bad carried liquor front the saloon to her husband could IMPBOVKD Ventilating Fans and Engines 1MPBOVKI)' Steel-Toothed Coal Breakers, Mine LecomotiTes, TUBULAR, KLUE A 1) OYL.IN-; 1)ER BOILERS. 5 B.
