EXTENSIVE CONFERENCE.-THE Frank.
lin Works in RuinS-Loss Thirty Thousand
Dollars s. Partially Corered by Insurance.
About two o'clock this morning our citizens
were aroused from their slumbers by the
alarm of fire, caused by the burning of the
Franklin Works, situated on the corner of
South and Short streets, Messrs. Jennings,
Stevenson g. St9ver, proprietors. We pro.
ccedcd to the scene OF contlagration, and
found the works enveloped IN flames, burn
ing with great vehemence and rapidity.-
Our firemen, as usual were promptly on
hand, but, owing to some difficulty in OBJ
tanning water, were unable to play upon the
flames for considerable length of time,
but when they did get their streams in oper-
alton The fire was soon subdued; and by
their energy and vigilance, n number of
houses in the vicinity, which had caught
from the sparks carried by the wind in
every direction, were promptly saved. The
buildings burned are the Franklin Iron
Works, three story brick building, on South
street, the foundry adjoining, which was
frame, and the pattern shop on Short street,
a two story frame building. Several build.
ings in the immediate neighborhood were
more or less injured. AT about quarter
before three O'Clock the walls began to give
way, and shortly afterwards the front on
South street fell to the ground with q great
crash, scattering bricks in all directions
1t was rumoreG that a man was injured by
the falling wall, but upon inquiry we found
it was incorrect. A building on State street
caught fire from some of the sparks, but it
was soon extinguished. The loss by the
| fire is estimated at $4,000, upon which
there is $4,000 insurance, divided as follows
In the Lycoming Insurance Company, $2,-
500 in the Columbia, $4,000; in the York
Mutual, s., 800. and in the Allen and East
Pepnsboro', $500. Mr. Stevenson's indi.
vidual loss, exclusive of that Of the firm,
will amount to $4,000, in the destruction
of number OF steam engines he had on
hand.
The fire originated in the back part OF
the foundry, and is supposed to have been
the work of an incendiary, as there was nc
fire in the building during the day We
have been Informed that the firm expect to
commence Immediately the erection OF new
works, and will be able in a short time tc
fill all their orders and contracts. Mr
Berng. the designer and architect, has gone
to Philadelphia to secure full corps o
pattern makers, and we have no doubt tina
ere long the works will again be in success

Indiana American. [volume] (Brookville, Ind.) 1865-1872, 1868-09-11

The Democracy feeling greatly mortified
at the miserable fzzle held here on Fri.
day, the 2lst ult., on ten days, sight tried
their hand again on Monday, the 31st ult.
This time they had better success. Such
crowds Of people--eounsing shows, patent
medicine men ct cetera, there we're fully
three thousand souls, parading the streets
with music, banners, and such yells as
would have done honor TO rabel bayonet
charge. As this was promised to be the
largest meeting ofthe lost cause faithful,
to be held in this District this campaign,
and rs the whole District was moving for
1t, this must be written failure too. They
bad their ideas up to twenty or thirty
thousand. II the greatest living lost
cause speaker, Pendletou, can't draw a
larger crowd than that, Democracy will
find itself in the short rows, as usual, in
October next. S
The illustrious George II. was> really
here this time, aud the three thousand
souls were assembled together on space
Of ground about four or Eve rods square,
and George ii. stood up in their midst,
and spoke about greenbacks, niggers and
bonds, just as dozen other lost cause re-
actionists in this county would have done,
and they cried out, yea, we believe, and
they were baptised-a Ia sprinklng in
the evening. Wet backs were plentier
than greenbacks.
1t was a sorry sight to see Pcudletop,
the great champion Of grsenbacks, sdvo-
cate the election of Seymour, who would
pay the bonds in gold. The great curiosi.
ty to see him brought many Republicans
out These were considerably disappoin.
ted-tbey expected to hear high-toned
argumentative speech on the real issues,
aud they had right to, considering his
standing as man in his party. His
weak solution of niger and taxes was un-
looked for, but we suppose he was tenn
pering his speech according to his ideas
Of the crowd.
For mere Fayette County meeting
the turn out would have been very large
but considering that the whole country
was raked, from Cincinnati to Knights
town, and Shelbyville to Hamilton, it was
very meager affair indeed. The meeting
also showed great lack of soldiers--but
ninety-seven white boys could be counted,
counting about thirty without uniform.
This is significant. as never before were
such strenuous efforts made to bring the
soldiers into the line Of the lost cause.
They are little too far North for this
farther south I'LL the soldiers are for the
lost cause. But what they lacked in NUM-
bers they made up in noise. The awful
yells were very familiar to the Fighting
Boys.
About one hundred aud forty boys,
ranging in age from ten to eighteen, to.
gether with about forty men, were paradsd
on horseback--everything went to show
that they were terribly hard up for soldiers
The fact is, most all the soldiers are
against the lost cause they fought
against il, and are going to vote against il

For the American.
Idle Words.
BY LIZZIE LITTLE.

The subject Is one OF touching and
mournful character; for who is there
among US that has not heard or uttered
them, aud wept perhaps at the recollec-
ton, when tears and sorrow were alike
unavailing? 1t is the swift lighting that
has withered and broken many young
loving heart, and brought woe and bitter
ness where all should have been peace,
and yet we are not warned until desola-
ton falls at length upon our own hearts.
Idle words may be spoken In mirth, and
CLOSED over with smiles, but they wound
not the less deeply for such mockery. Or
they may be the wild and often meaning
less outpourings OF excitement and irrita-
bility, repented Of when 1t is too late, and
falling back upon our own hearts like a
weight Of lead. We look fearfully up, but
the worlds mask is on the countenance
which we once fancied we could read as in
book. They smile or talk Of other
things, and we hope. we pray in our re-
morse that the words may have passed un-
needed, and are yet too proud to betray
these thoughts by q single sentence. And
so the rust Of rnkindness and suspicion is
left to gnaw and eat away the golden links
Of fondness and affection.
Idle words may be muttered to third
person; they may be the veil in which we
seek to shroud from them our real thought,
by speaking slightly of those whom We
secretly reverence aad admire. But how
are they to know this, when our words
shall only be repeated to them again, ex-
sggerated perhaps by the narrator or their
own wounded feelings2 There are always
at hand, too, thousand such kind friends,
whose peculiar Office, II seems; is to remem-
Der what We would have forgotten and
buried in oblivion, and tell us things we
would have prayed to have been deaf
rather than heard.
How often the exclamation uttered, ac-
complained by look, which speaks still
palmer than words, "Ah, you would not
speak so highly Of Mrs., If you had
heard what she said about you the other
day" Then comes the eager question,
put with flushed cheek and kindling eyes,
'what did she ssy?' and the "Idle Words"
are repeated, or, worse, still, left for you to
imagine. You turn away aud laugh wild
ly, until left at length alone, aud then you
bow down and weep like a child. That
night you are to meet again. She comes
forward with the smile that somehow al
ways seems to BEEN upon her face when
you approach, and holds out her hands in
welcome, but you feel sick to the very
heart. The remembrance of those haunt
Ing words is upon you, and you bow with
chilling politeness and pass proudly on.
She is offended, has forgotten long since
that fatal conversation, aud sttributing the
alteration in yonr behavior to pride OF
cap rice, resents IL accordingly; so that
from that hour cloud settles upon the
sunshine Of your previous friendship, and
you are never again what you once dreamed
to be 10 each other.
