The Prairie Fire.

LINCOLN, October 1.-THE reports Of
the fearful destruction of lie by a
prairie fire prove too true. The frs
ran over 4 good portion OF the county.
Ten children returning from school
were oyertaken, and although they
made superhuman efforts TO escape,
they could not. Mrs. Stillman Morly
saw the danger asd rushed to their as
sstance and WAS burned so badly that
she died Yesterday evening. A little
girl, Sullmsn Morly, q daughter OF ia
cob Berkeley, and son Of &. Z. Clarke,
were al burned 10 death on the spot.
Three others have since died and it is
doubtful il any recover. The fire was
over mile wide and the flames were
twelve feet high. Hundreds OF bundles
OF grain and many hsv stacks were de.
7troyed by the same fire. The farm
era have called meeting here for Sat
uriay, to take action on the question oI
compelling railroads to burn the grass
along the track, so that sparks will
not set the grass on hre; also compell-
ing them to pay for the damage already
done. Considerable excitement pre-
walls on the subject.

The Irish Catholic BeneyoIeni
: Union.

Sr. LOUIE, October 1.-THE Irish
Catholic Benevolent Union met again
this morning and took up the special
order-the report of the committee on
Constitutional Amendments.
After brief discussion it was an-
nounced that Henry J. Spauuhorst and
Rev. A. SchweriDger, the President and
Secretary OF the German Catholic As
socistiop, were present, aud on invita-
ton both took seats en- the platform
and made brief speeches, congrstulst-
ing their Irish fellow citizens upon the
good work they were engaged in, refer
ring to the great power and influence
OF united action, and expressing the
hope that in the near future conven-
ton of all Catholic organizations OF
whatever nationality may be held, with
view to still further promote the in-
terests and temporal and spiritual well
fare Of Catholics.
Right Rev. Bishop Ryan also visi'sd d
the Convention and vas invited on the
platform. He also mgde brief speech,
in which he urged the Convention to
persevere in the work they were eugag-
ed in, that the union may be strength =
eued and increase in power for good.
He also referred to the scheme to es-
tablish an Emigration Bureau, urged
it's necessity and advised them to study
the plan adopted by their iriends,
which has resulted in such great ben
eft to the emigrants OF that nation
ality, and adopt 20 much OF it Us will
meet the needs OF the Irish Conven'
ton. They then proceeded to business,
and are now discussing some amend
ments to the Constitution, which, how.
ever, are of no interest to the general
reader. A reception and ball was
given at the Southern Hotel last night
to the delegations to the Convention,
and Notwithstanding the heavy and
continuous rain a large party was
present, and the occasion was one OF
much enjoyment.

OHIO ELECTION.

CINoNNATI, October l7.-UnoficIal
returns from. every county but Pau!d-
ing gives Hon. VIM. Allen majority
of 754. Paulding county gave Grant
q majority last fall of $50. The Demo
Gratis are confident that they have
elected their State ticket, while the Re.
publicans are equally sanguine that
the official vote will change the figures
and elect their ticket. The official re-
turns will probably not he in before
Tuesday.
CINCINNATI, October l7.-Medina
county is reported to have given only
400 majority for Moves, q heavy Rs
publican loss. A large falling of in
Erie and Huron counties is alao report
ed. The election OF Allen Is generally
conceded at Columbus.
COLUMBUS, October l7.--Huron coun-
ty reports a Democratic gain OF 559.
The Democrats can base figures on re-
turn from all but Meigs and Paulding
counties and claim 100 majority for
Allen, after copceidiDg that Noyes has
a majority OF 900 in Meigs Paulding
is not included in this count. The
Democrats claim q small majority
there. Republicans advices from the
county committee are that Noyes has
1855 majority in MeiSs county.
While most republicans are inclined to
give up the contest those beet posted
figure out the election of the RepubIi>
can State ticket by small majority.
The vote, however, is 20 close that
nothing but official figures will deter
mine the result. 1t is not improbable
that even in the event OF Noyes defeat
the balance of the Republican State
ticket is elected.
CINCINNATI. October 1.-THE very
latest figures are such tina; the Demo-
crats are conceding the entire Republi-
can State ticket with exception OF Gov
ernor has been elected, and the result
on Governor is uncertain. Republicans
who are considered shrewd On political
matters, DO not give up the election OF
Noyes and Say that they will not do so
until full official returns are received.

It is astonishing how cool a COW can
be when che is well posted in the stat
ute law OF Ohio. Almost any day you
choose to take a ride on the Marietta
and Pittsburgh railroad, you will see
one OF these knowing beasts get on the
track to stop the train. o! course the
engineer tries to scare her of by whist
ling, but she won't scare worth a cent.
She knows perfectly well that If she ia
run over the company will have to pay
two prices for her, and 60 she just stands
and looks that locomotive right out OF

madder, aud he lets of few shrieks

always calm and placid, and when the
cursing engineer stops the train within

Al Old TFicIIg.

An American lady was recently
shown through Newgste. On coming
to the alley in which executed crimi-
mails are buried, this lady-wbo is a
good Q1sker-shuddered at that, and
the warden ssid
"You will notice here that ours is a
great improvement over the American
plan. In America they give the bodies
OF executed criminals to their friends
who, as likely as not, make q hero Of
him, and bury him with pomp. But
these scoundrels dread being buried
away in this alley almost as much as
they dread the gsllows. This is q chief
part OF their punishment.
The lady having suggested that ex.
ecution was quite enough, the warden
replied, Not bit OF it. | was showing
our place the other day to a remarkably
Intelligent American who admired our
arrangements exceedingly, only be
thought we were too lenient. That
gentleman ssid that the great mistake
in America was lenisncy. Would you
believe it, said be, we caught a rascal
in America the other day whom we
ought Immediately to have burned, and
We only hung him, But We are coming
to our senses, and we are now making
arrangements to burn certain men for
whom the gallows is too good"
will thee be good enough to tell me
the name Of the American gentleman
who made the remark 10 thee 2 said
the Quakeress.

went of.
