Possible Attraction at the Wheelmen's Tournament--The Hose Race. The alarm-hose race on Tuesday, August 29th, the day of the Cycling Association's race meet, will be an interesting feature if it is carried out according to programme. If the consent of the village authorities can be obtained and the fire companies will agree to participate, it is proposed to have an alarm sent in from some box by Herbert E. SMITH, the electrician in charge of the fire-alarm system, and the company first reaching the hydrant nearest the box and laying a certain number of feet of hose will be presented a suitable prize. Electrician SMITH is to select the box and decide upon the time that the alarm is to be sent in and no one but himself is to know of the location of the box selected, or the time for sending in the alarm, in advance. ++ DEATH OF DELOS M.

Four boys, strangers in town, were loitering about on Jackson street, south of the tracks, yesterday afternoon, and residents of the vicinity sent word to the officers to arrest them. Officers HORSCH and BUXTON responded and the boys ran when they saw them approaching. Officer BUXTON overhauled two of them and Officer HORSCH captured a third, but let him go, as he had a satchel filled with lead pencils and cheap jewelry, which he said he was selling. When arraigned before Justice WEBSTER the two boys said they were from Buffalo and were traveling for fun. The Justice sent them to the Erie County Penitentiary for sixty days each. ++ If you are Looking for Bargains in Men's Shoes go to A.L.
