INCIDENTS OF THE FRESHET
The Casino is ready to open again
with the Gardner Vincent smew com

Mr. Cecil Cochrane this morning

Bosnian, his sorrow at the flood situa
tion and authorized the subscribing
of S2OO lo the relief fund.
The genius wiio made money by
charging passengers across the North
Augusta bridge to come down or
ascend the ladder he provided made
mone.i while his monopoly lasted. The
city has ordered the use of the bridge
lor passenger service discontinued un
til Is can be made more securs.

Nixon who was thrown into the water
and had a narrow rßcape. but he pass
ed safely through the waterfalls. He
says the force of the water was al
most inconceivable in the vicinity of
Clark's Mills.
All that the Alt' Dome wants before
resuming Is light. As soon as the
electric current Is turned on the per
formances will be continued In tbe
H.ime popular manner as heretofore.
