G. e. Hills & Co.'s Gristmill De-
stroyed-LOss, 100000.
On Saturday evening last, about
half past ten o'clock, the large
steam Touring mill of G. E Hills l.
Co., standing near the track of the
c. c. G. d I. Railway, just opposite
the depot, was discovered to be on
fire. For fully half an hour after
the alarm was given no light of any
conaagration could be seen, the fire
during that time being wholly con
fined within the building and mani

smoke which drifted over the town
making the darkness darker.
The entire force of our fire de-
partment was promptly on the
ground, anI for a little while it
seemed that the property might be
saved The safe and few barrels
of -four had been rolled out when
the fire fiend began to be observed
creeping along the chinks of the
weatherboarding on the east side
of the building, and directly after
wards column of fame could be
seen inside through one of the win
dows. Ten minutes later great vol
umes of imprisoned fire hurst from
the roof, making night luminous and
scattering showers of sparks on ad-
jacent buildings. From this time
forward the mill-being a wooden
building-burned like Undertook,
and the ffremen directed their efforts
wholly toward saving the neighbor-
ing property. The large warehouse
Of Mcssrs. Myers & Pa |, directly
opposite, in which a large quantity
of oil was stored, smoked with the
intensity of the heat, and as the
wind blew directly towards it,
seemed for time in serious danger.
The mill contained at the time of
its destruction 415 barrels of flour,
$50 bushels of wheat and a like
amount of corn. This grain was
of course all destroyed. The en-
gine being in a fre-proof attach
ment to the mill was uninjured.
The mill was owned by Messrs
G. E. Hills and Howell Hills who
have an insurance on the building
and contents, in Cleveland and Co
lumbus Companies, for 1000
The loss above this insurance will
be $4,000 or $4,000. Mr.. G. E.
Hills was in New York at the
time the fire occurred.--[ Delaware

Attempted Bank Robbery.

The safe Of the First National
Bank of Delphos was badly used
last Sunday night, by gang of
burglars, in the effort to get at the
money in its vaults. We learn that
the outside doors and fire proof
concretes were badly damaged by
the use of powder, but the burglars
evidently became alarmed. aud did
not effect an entrance into the vaults.

A BROKEN HEARTED. CAT.-The
Dayton Journal says:

A BRoKEN-HEARTEp- CAT.-The
Dayton Journal says:
"The late venerable John Childs,
who died few days ago had an old
tom cat which he had petted and
fed ever since it was a small kitten,
and they had been inseperable COM
panions and much attached to each
other. During the last sickness of
Mr.. Childs the cat remained in his
room nearly all the time, and re-
fused to partake Of any food to-
ward the last. On the morning af-
ter his death, sOld Tom appeared
determined to enter and remain in
the room whictescontained all that
was mortal OF his best friend; and
it was with difficulty that the ami
NAL could be kept out. He persisted
in remaining at the door. and
moaned there until member Of the
family removed the unhappy feline
to department Of the cellar, and
fastened him there. On entering
the cellar to give poor Tom some
food, he was found stretched out
stark and dead.

NOTABLE LEGISLATION OF
THE SESSION JUST CLOSED.

The first act of the session was
the repeal of the boiler law, IN ac
cordance with an almost universal
demand. The awkward blunder by
which a Democratic legislature had
made it illegal for a young woman of
eighteen years OF age and upward
to be married mithout consent of
their parents or guardians, was rem
edied soon after, to the great relief
Of sundry so1rowlng damsels. The
Agricultural College matter was pla-
ced in train for final disposition.
The bill legalizing dissection under
restrictions was notable progress
in liberality. The act to relieve the
Judges of the Supreme Court from
service in the District Courts
should be placed on record, among
the changes Of legislation. That
providing for minority representa-
ton on election boards is good
thing. The bitter partizan legisla-
ton of the lateDemo cratic Legislature
was all repealed, except the Students
Voting Law. A bill for the repeal
of this also passed the Senate, but
did not receive a constitutional ma
iority in the House, although all the
Republicans voted for it. An act
to be noted at election time is the
one to protect poll-books and pre-
vent ballot-box stuff1ng. The Sol
diers' Orphans Home law IS among
the most creditsble things of the
session-the final caving in Of nearly
all Democratic opposition is espec
tally gratifying. A new thing is the
act to authorize county commissioners
to provide schools for children in
infrmaries. The removal of the
site of the Central Lunatic Asylum
should be recorded. The civil code
amendments were sensibly put in an
omnibus bill. An act of general in
terest is the one providing that
Boards of Education can expel
children from school only upon full
hearing, and by majority vote,
There are only seventy-two general
acts, in all !; and it can be safely said
that there has been less buncombe
legislation, and less Of the misch!ev-
Gus SPECIAL, tinkering business this
session, than at any other session
within the memory of the oldest
inhabi-tant.-O. S. Journal.

Sudden Death,-The death

Sudden Death death of
Walter Burns, County Auditor, on
Wednesday evening, caused general
sorrow throughout the city. His
death was caused by a carbuncle on
the back ofhis head, which paraly-
zed the left side Of his body some
little time previous to his death.
He first complained Of on Saturday
last, was at his office on Monday,
and no one who knew of his illness
regarded it as anything serious.
His death will be regretted by
all who new him.-Tiffin Tribune.

it in time to take the little fellow
out, who was to all appearances life

THH DEMOCRATIC PROTEST.
tain of the Democratic members of
the House, presented protest Sat-
urday evening, and demanded that
it go upon the journal. 1t was so
supplementary and insulting in
form and substance as to be ruled
out of order by the Chair, in which
ruling the Speaker was sustained by
the House.
We regret that any amount of in
suit and Misrepresentation should
have driven tho House to refuse the
Democratic members the privilege
of placing themselves on the record
in the disreputable style they had
set their hearts upon.-O. S. Jour
