SIT is said" that the banquet at the Neil
House, Columbus, ON the evening of Janu-

from the bad management of the commit

champagne extra, created such dissatis-
faction that only sixty or seventy chairs
were filled. Columbus Hotel banquets, OF
late years, have been admirable occasions

Another Deed of Blood
A Man Shot Last Night at Union
SUPPOSED TO BE FATALLY WOUNDED


Another Of the deeds of outrage and
blood-which have Of late become so fear
fully prevalent in this community-occur-
red last night at Union, in this county
about eleven miles North of Dayton. The
particulars Of the transaction, as they have
been detailed to us are in substance as fol-
lows, and we presume are in the main cor
rect.
On Saturday night last, man by the
name of Jacob Stevenson went to the house
of Henry Lambert, who resides at Little
York, some three miles this side of Union.
A man by the name of Roosa, the govern
ment detective of SaylOr's distillery al
Little York, was boarding at the house OF
Lambert and was in bed, up stairs, at the
time. On entering the house, Stevenson
commenced adifliculty with Lambert, and
was ordered out ofthe house by Mrs. Lam
bert He went out, but picked upa club
and broke in the windows. For this of
fence he was arrested on Sunday morning
and taken before Esq. Trambergera at Union
where the parties finally agreed to settle
the matter by Stevenson's paying the dam
ages and cost.
Not procuring the money for this pur-
pose, Stevenson remained In the custody OF
the constable until evening, and at about
nine o'clock, he and Roosa commenced
fuss in the hotel of J. Bartmess, threat-
ening to clean out the town. They
were both put out of the house by
Mrs. Bartmess. At this juncture, Jacob
Lambert and some others, who felt them
selves insulted by the threat, went out on
the pavement, when difficulty was COM
menced between Lambert and Stevenson.
the latter begging off. Roosa then drew a
revolver, threatening to shoot several of
the bystanders, and finally leveled his
pistol and fired at Lambert.
While in this act his hand was caught nv
some one present, but the ball took effect
In one side of Lambert and came out at the
other, passing entirely through his body in
the region of the bowels
Stevenson asked "who had shot, and
Roosa said he had. Stevenson replied,
''shoot the id rascal again." The pistol
was then taken from Roosa by some of the
peTsonS present.
Both Stevenson and Roosa were arrested
and brought to the city last night, reaching
here about twelve o'clock. They were
placed in Jail to await an examination.
Lambert was still living last night, but
it was thought he could not survive through
to-day.
Roosa is said TO be member of the
Roosa family, portion of whom were
murdered some three or four years ago in
Warren County, by Coovert, who was exc
cuted for the crime last fall.
These are the details of the melancholy
transaction as they have been furnished to
us, and are no doubt correct in all the es-
sential particulars. Other circumstances
may be developed at the examination, of
which our readers will be apprized

THE WAY TO SUCCEss.-The true road to
success is fair, honest and upright way OF
doing business in all branches of trade.
Few, ifany succeed, permanently, by any
other course. What business men need, is
the respect and confidence of those who
deal with them. The truth of this theory
is fully illustrated In the case ofH. Schwarz,
the enterprising proprietor of the Eagle
Clothing Store" No. 1ls Main street, in this
city. From comparatively small Begin
ming, less than two years ago, he has be-
come one Ofthe most popular aud extensive
clothing dealers In the city. His store Is
daily thronged withcustomers, and his sue
cess has become 'fixed fact'' In the bust
ness operations of Dayton. The best thing
about it is, that when he sells his customers
goods once, they are always sure TO come
back again, for the simple reason that they
find he never decelyes them-they can
always rely both upon his word and his
goods.
He wishes now to say to his customers
and the public-especially to his country
friends--that he is now receiving the larg-
est and best stock of clothing ever offered
in Dayton. 1t has been selected with spe-
cial reference to the holiday trade, and
those who purchase will find every thing
as represented.
He takes this occasion TO return his sin
cere thanks for the patronage heretofore
extended to him, and to assure his friends
that no efforts on his part shall be wanting
to merit continuance of the favor and
confidence he has heretofore received.
