LOCAL AND GENERAL, Mary had a little lamp Twas filled with kerosene. She kept it on the parlor sfeind. Where it had oft "benzine." She also had a little beau. She thought him quite a catch: And she put ont the light yon know So they could "strike a match. But while they sat there in the dark, Behind a painted screen. The silly lovers fear'd a "spark" Would light the can-ess scene. But soon a heavy sound was heard Of footsteps big and stout. •Twas Mary's father he inferred. And quickly he "lit out."

As the Maccatiees parade was passing down Main street Monday evening, little Elizabeth, the three year old daughter of Attorney John C. Graham, was sleeping in her bed-room, at her father's home, at Clay and McKean streets. The band music awakened the little girl, and she ran to the win dow to see the parade. As she passed a gas grate her gown caught fire from the burning gas and in an instant she was wreathed in flames. Her screams brought her grandmother, Mrs. W. L. Graham, who with Elizabeth's baby sister, was the only other person at home. Mrs. Graham put the child in a bath tub, turned on the water, and tore the burning clothes from her, and had her own hands badly burned while doing so. Drs. Zimmerman and Bricker were called in and dressed the burns, but they were fatal, and she died next evening. Funeral this afternoon at half past two. Tilts Poor House.

The latter site would be the best for for sewerage. The State Board of Health meets in Philadelphia on the 27th of and as the plans for the buildings will have to be submitted to it, the Commis sioners and their architect will make every effort to have the plans ready to 1 lay before it at that time, but the long 1 delayed legal proceedings make the 1 completion of the buildings, this year, an impossibility.

CHATTANOOGA FOR FRIDAY NIGHT. Lincoln J. Carter's pretty and rom antic play, "Chattanooga." which will be presented for the first time in this city at the Park Theatre, Friday, April 14. The story of "Chattanooga" is one of love, villiany and war, and is full of interest from start to finish. The action of the piece is spirited and the plot is interspersed with comedy sit uations which happily counterbalance incidents of a more tragic and sombre nature. The realism is strong, being aided by special scenery carried by the company. The approach to the climax of the last act is one of the most novel ever witnessed in this city. The hero and villian fight on the tender of a 1 ull sized locomotive which is speeding towards General Hooker's camp. The biograph is utilized to give the appear ance of rapid motion and the illusion, with flying telegraph poles, rolling smoke and other indications of a mile a-minute speed is well nigh perfect. The final scene shows the safe arrival of the big "flyer ' at "Fighting Joe's" headquarters. The company is one of refinement and more than ordinary talent and each member exhibits com mendable earnestness. Prominent in the cast are W. J. Coggswell; Lem. B. Parker; Emmett Devoy; Frederick Morton; James L. Harding; Walter Cainbell; Robert Ell ington; W. J. Radcliff; George Fuller; Miss Minnie Dixon Paiker; Miss Sadie Handy and Miss Sadie Stockton.
