A fire at Washington G. Fl. on
Wednesday night of last week, en-
tirely destroyed the new Odd Eel
lows Hall building. Loss S11,5OO
on building and furniture; insured
for $4,000. The two frame buildings
adjoining were torn down to prevent
the fire spreading. One was occu-
pied by the post Office. Messrs.
CLANCY Bros. and G. P. Vandeman
& Co., merchants, occupied the lower
part of the Odd Fellows building.
The former lost all their stock, worth
about 9,000-insured for $4,000.
Vandeman & Co. saved part of their
stock, and their insurance ($2500)
will nearly cover their loss. The fire
at one time threatened to prove very
destructive, and dispatches were sent
to Circleville for aid, but fortunately
it proved unnecessary, owing to the
stiffness of the atmosphere and the
heavy walls confning the fire to the
Odd Fellows building.

THE ELECTIONS.

The election returns of Ohio and
Indiana don't improve on acquaint-
ance. "On the contrary, quite the
reversed" We dislike to dwell on an
unpleasant subject, and will therefore
sum up the result very briefly.
Ohio-Dem. maj. on State ticket,
about 10000. Thirteen Dem. Con
gressmen to righteous Republieass
including Garfield
Indiana-Dem. maj. on State tick
ct about as large as that in Ohio, and
8 Dem. Congressman to only 5 spar
ed Republican monuments of mercy!
Legislature tie, which will of course
elect Dem. .. S. Senator.
But Iowa and Nebraska are still
Republican-bright spots amid the
surrounding gloom! Let US take
courage and hope for better things
from New York, Pennsylvania, Hi
nois, and the bevy of States which
hold their elections early in Novem-
Der.

Meals salary grab" record didn't
hurt him particle in the estimation
OF his own party, notwithstanding
the famous anti-grabbing resolutions
which were only voted down in their
district convention by 2 majority
When it came to voting at the polls,
Neal, instead of being scratched" by
these honest (?) and indignant CD
resolutionists, ran ahead of his ticket
10 votes in this county, 58 in Ross,
"a in Brown, and 2 in Pike. We have
not the majority on the State ticket
in Adams, but we have no doubt Neal
was ga little ahead" there tool From
all which it is not a violent inference
to be drawn, that "anti-grabbing"
resolutions offered in Democratic
Conventions, when aimed at Demo
cratic candidates, are mere Bun
combe," worth about as much as the
paper on which they are written!

IOOlIt5pOnuenCt OF Lne NeWB'
Letter from Indiana.
CoLLAMER, Ind, Oct. 5, 1874

COLLAMER, Ind, Oct D, 1914.
EDITOR NEws:-Haying just re-
turned from an interesting trip I
wish to notify my friends in old
Highland of my safe return, and tell
of some of the items of interest
picked up by the way.
The first place of interest visited
was the Soldiers Home" near Day
ton, Ohio. This is said to be the
finest Home in the q. S. It consists
of some 700 acres of land belonging
to the Government, and beautifully
laid out in farms and grounds,
Among the nanny places of interest
here are the Hospital, Public Libra
ry, Deer Park, Fountains, Green
House, Flower Gardens, Cemetery.
&c. From the top of the Hospital
Dayton can be seen, laid out like q
map, to the eastward All the most
interesting objects of the ''Home" are
also visible from the tower on the
Hospital. They are visited daily by
admiring crowds, whofnd something
new every moment. The 'Home"
must be seen to be appreciated
Thousands of worn-out soldiers here
find quiet and luxurious Home, in
which to end their days.
The next object of interest visited
while swinging round the circle" was
the Exposition at Cincinnati, which
I will not attempt to describe for the
reason that / am not capable of do
ing Injustice. Ohio has three at
fractions on her western border, of
which she Emay well feel proud VIZ:
The "Home" at Dayton, the Expo
sition and the Davidson fountain at
Cincinnati. These three ought to
make Ohio famous if there was not
another object of interest in her
borders.
After having paid homage to the
above institutions and works of art,
1 paid visit to 'old Highland" the
home of my boyhood, where 1 found
many old and familiar friends and
faces, somewhat changed, It's true,
after lapse of twenty years, but the
warm grasp of the hand and the
sparkling eyes told that time had
not changed aught save in looks.
After week spent in recalling the
past, a heartfelt adieu was hidden to
friends and relatives, and the journey
home was begun. The Exposition
at Louisville, KY, and Indianapolis,
were both visited on the return.
The Exposition at Louisville is not
so large as that at Cincinnati, but is
as fine as could be wished by the
most critical. Louisville may well
be proud OF her Exposition and clean
ly and well-regulated streets 1
could not wish my lot cast in more
favored city, Judging from all appear
ances.
The next place on the route home
was the State Fair and Exposition
at indianapolis. This Fair and Ex-
position, judging from the number
present, must be a grand success.
On Thursday, Oct. 1st, forty-three
tickets we're sold, and the
crowd and jam in the city was I'M
mense. From there home was but
few hours ride. On arriving at home
found the health good, except the
usual shakes. w. d. L.

He is personally examining tho evidence In
ibe case and will decide the Issue upon that
evidence. II the testimony seems TO nm con-
c,us;ve Mr. Britton will be removed and the
Ring cannot save him; if il seems defective
no Influence can or should hurt him. The YER
dict need not be expected for a week or ten
DAVIS To come That briefly is the true state
of the case, and tho friends OF good govern
ment in Brooklyn are content to rest 1t there.
The Republicans and the Ring have already
begun to east lots for the succession, but 1t
seems 10 us with undue and rather indecent
haste. A caucus of the Republicans held on
Mondoy NIGHT last and led by Mr.. Tracy, re-
solved 10 commend John C. Perry, John Wins
low. and A. II. Daley for the place IN the
event that Il vacancy occurred; and the ling,
after fixing on w. j. Osborne, finally con
cludcd that Henry j. Cullen, the nephew OF
Judge McCue and brother Of the present AS
sistant District Attorney. was the more proper
man. The Committee of Fifty hoped at one
time that Col. A. G.. DAVIS might be appointed
to the place. but he positively forbade hs
name TO he used. II is safe to say that neither
Of the Ring candidates will satisfy the people
of Brooklyn: aud Of the Republican recon-
mendations only that of Mr.. Daley Is likely,
for political reasons, to be considered. Mr..
Daley was the opponent of Britton IN the
election of 1871 There IL no doubt that the
Ring cheated him out of the election and
counted Brtton in, and this gives him claim
to the succession. The prominence OF Col,
Davis in the prosecution fOrbids the consider
alton of his name.
But who succeeds is matter of no import
ance for whoever steps into Mr. Brttons
shoes must do his duty better than Britton
has done it. Brittons removal and the pun
islmont Of Dunn, Campbell, Keenan,, Ford,
Philips, Carmody, and Nolan, the indicted bal
lot-box suffers of 1871 whom Britton has pro
tectcd. will secure 10 the people OF hlnS5
County An honest election in the Fall, ana
cffectually remove the eight or ten thousand
fictitious or fraudulent majority which has
there been east against honest government Ivy
the Ring Democrats. We have been assured
of fair elections in New York. and in the end
we shall see them in Brooklyn also.
