flames were yet more than a hun
dred yards behind, and little Mary
was left upon her knees, praying
that her Heavenly Father might take
her to His bosom, and save her
mother, and father, and little broth
er from perishing. Death soon
/ came for her, and not long did it
wait for her little brother and moth
er. In few moments the mothers
clothes were on fire, and she was un-
able to proceed. The father, with
desperate determination to save his
little son, pushed on, but already his
clothes we're on fire, and the little
boy, the pride of his heart, was strug
Cling to free himself from the tor
lures, but soon he was at rest in
death. His body but hindered the
progress Of the father, and to save
himself he determined to abandon
it. Thus freed of all encumbrances
he made greater speed and succeed
ed in reaching the stream.
After the fire had passed by he
retraced his steps and gathered in
one place all that was earthly of his
treasured ones. 1t was a sight when
that poor father gathered the black
ened and charred remains of his late
household, in the stiffness of the
night upon that lone and desolate
prairie, which we hope the world
will never be called upon to witness
again. Next day the homes of some
distant farmers were reached, and
they returned with Herndon and as
sisted him in the burial.

RunawaY.-On Tuesday morning. about
o'clock, Front street was all alive BY the ar.
rival OF one-horse spring wagon at full
speed, with young twelve or thirteen vea1
old driver governing the runaway. 1t appears
that Charles Segar, farmer, of BallvilIe, came
to town with two teams in two wagons, and
his little son, plucky youth, named Fred, in
charge of horse and wagon. Passing the
railroad bridge the horse took fright and
rushed off 'pell-melP to town. The boy had
one arm crippled from recent injuries, and
lost his balance, rolling over in the wagon.
but he regained his feet, retained his presence
of mind and also his command of the animal
with one hand guiding it through the many
conveyances standing in the street, and
brought it up very skillfully in front of Lesh-
er's grocery. with only a broken strap. The
noble little fellow merits the highest prize for
his coolness and pluck, or the result might
have proved Of a most serious character.

Don't Do It.

In the Council proceedings which
we give in our local columns will be
found the record of an action which
we regret to have to refer to, because
we cannot do else than refer to it with
condemnation. It is the resolution
authorizing the fire committee to
build a wall 8 feet thick and s
feet high, across the foot of Croghan
Street. What object the Council
can have in thus closing up an ap-
proach to the river from one of our
greatest thOroughfares we cannot
conceive, unless it be TO favor the
desires of one of there number own
ing property there.
In the absence Of water works,
there is not so available a place in
the city at which to station the en-
gine In case Of fire in the business or
lower part of town, as that same
point, the approach to which Council
proposes to shut off with wall eight
feet high and three feet thick, sub
shutting in its place well inside
the wall to be fed by sewer laid
to the center of the river. Besides
the expense of construction which
will be be imposed upon the tax
payers by this procedure, there is
no security that the first freshet will
not fill up the sewer and the well it.
self with mud and sand, thus render
ing the well practically useless. Do
the Council wish to force upon our
citizens in that vicinity an increased
insurance rate, simply to crafty an
idea, when there is not even a de-
mand from a respectable number of
for such a thing, and when
a respectable number could not be
found to ask for it. 1t is like depriv-
ing the city Of absolute freedom of
to the river and substitut-
ing therefor a Chinese wall of separa-
bion. We are glad to note that
Fabing and Elderkin both voted |
against this measure, but they were
overruled by Gurst, Heider, Bauman
Ind Greiner. We trust these latter
gentlemen will think twice before
hey go further in this business, of
orciug upon the City a useless ex-
'ense, and either permit the resolu-
ion to die quiet death, or promptly
epeal it.

Fire-Clapp's Block Destroyed
About half past eleven O'Clock on Tuesday
night last, fire was discovered in the upper
story of Clapp's frame block corner of CARR.
son and Front street. The alarm was prompt.
ly given and efforts made to check the flames
but the fire had obtained too much start. The
steamer and hand engine were promptly on
the ground, and never did steamer do better
execution than our little Clapp & Jones. Two
streams were thrown by it, without cessation
until the tanes were subdued, and by
excellent management the fire was confined
to the block and prevented from spreading to
the adjoining buildings, although on the South
there was but few feet of space between the
burning building and the dwelling occupied
by Mr.. Cohn and Mr., Hyman. For while
the fire threatened to spread Southward, and
all the goods and chattels of Mr. Cohn and Mr.
Brandt, who occupied the second house south
Of the fire, were removed.
The first floor of the CIspp Block. was oceu-
pied by ]. W. Greene, corner room, as a sale
room for the Domestic Sewing Machine, sec
ond room, by T. Brady, tailor, and third room
by Miss N. L. Thompson, MilIiner. From all
these rooms the goods were removed in fair
order, and without much loss. The second
story was occupied by John WOrmsley, as
dwelling, and he was fortunate enough to re-
move most of his furniture.
Slngularly enough all were insured Clapp,
on block, $500; ]: W. Greene, on stock ST.
500: Brady, on stock $500; Miss Thompson,
on stock $1,000; Wormsley, on furniture, $500.
Cohn and Hymen fully insured.
The block was valued at about three thous-
and dollars, so that the actual loss will be
Ibout $1,000.

thrown a bombshell into the railway

a strong inducement to Chicago mer-

THEBoSton Globe has broken ground
in favor of "a new party, to take the
field for the National campaign Of
1876. The reasons for the move
ment are that both the present par
ties have fulfilled their mission and
are ready to be laid away on the
shelf, and that future contests can
no longer be made with safety OF
success on the old basis. The prin-
ciples agreed upon as the basis OF
the new faith are:
First-Hard money and an early
resumption Of specie payments.
Second-A civil service reform,
which shall in the fullest sense be
an application of the ordinary rules
of business in all the offices Of the
government.
Third-An economical admins
tration of affairs, which will keep
the rate of taxation to the lowest
point.
Fourth-Short legislative sessions
and the abolition of special legisla-
ton, except in extreme cases.
AS to candidates, some argue that
another military President is needed,
while others advocate a civilian, on
the ground that the country has had
enough of military executives, while
others favor a man with both civil
and military record. The movement

ARKANSAS is again in difficulty
This time it is not because Baxter
wants to retain the governors posi-
tion, but because he has resigned
and transferred his authority to Gar
land, a Baxterite, who was elected
Governor under the new constitu,
ton recently adopted. Under the
constitution of 1868, the State off.
GERS were elected for four years, the
present officers being elected in 1879
and now that Baxter has resigned,
Smith, Lieutenant Governor pro-
poses to act in his place, and has
issued proclamation, and appealed
to the President. Garland, however,
has possession, and as the new Con
stitution under which he was elected
was adopted by the people, we are
inclined TO think Mr.. Smith will
have to withdraw his claims, especi-
ally as it may be to be legislated out
of two years Of his time.

November II, 1874.
Mr.. WIN. A. RICE, Fremont, Ohio:
DEAR SIR: A few days ago, we.
the undersigned Committee for Dis
trict 25, Webster County, Nebraska,
sent an appeal to the people of San
dusky and Ottawa Counties, to the
editor of the JOURNAL for publica-
ton. In that appeal we requested
the contributions to be left at your
store, and at the store of Engier d
Wolfe, believing that you would take
as much interest in the work of So
Letting and forwarding supplies, as |
any one in your city. Send all ar
ticleS that have wear enough in them
to pay the cost of transportation,
which will be small, as all the roads
through Iowa and Missouri and this
State, carry such goods free. Old
boots, shoes, hats and caps, and all
kinds of wearing apparel and bed
clothing, 40 matter how old and
worn, will be thankfully received.
The majority of the farmers (home-
steaders )are very poor and destitute,
having been obliged to live on the
money they brought here for two
years, while they broke the sod and
got ready for a crop the past year.
They had staked all on the expecta-
ton of an abundant crop. When
the locusts (grasshOppers) came
down and devOured everything, is 1t
wonder that "strong men wept."
The loss of the crop meant eVant and
an abandonment of their
farms, or starvation. One-half. if
not thirds, of the population in i
this part of the State, have left their
farm and gone to Iowa or Missouri S

The Only Republican congressman

@AG I'LL NOnEIGb6m6u
from Kentucky.
Mr.. John D. White, the successful
candidate in the Ninth District, is
about twenty-six years of age. He
graduated at Kentucky University
from the College of Arts, and then
went to the University of Michigan
at Ann Arbor, where he graduated
in law. He canvassed the Ninth Dis
trict as assistant Grant elector in
1872. After that he spent about two
months in travelling through the Pa
cific States and the Territories.
He was urged to become the Repub-
lican candidate for Clerk OF the
Court of Appeals last spring, but
having the candidacy for Congress
in view he declined. Mr.. White is
a man of strong mind, excellent hab-
its, and the purest moral character,
and is very energetic and industri-
Gus. He comes from good stock.
His grandfather, Judge John White,
served forRten years in the National
House Of Representatives, and was
its Speaker during the Twenty-fourth
Congress. His father, Doherty
White, has frequently represented
his county in the State Legislature,
and was an active and enterprising
man of business, well known as the
proprietor of the Manchester Salt
works. Mr.. White is the first Re
publican Congressman Kentucky has
sent to Washington for six years.
He has made his start in what, we
believe, will be a most honorable pub
lie career.-LOuiaUilye Commercial.

4 case involving the right of rail
roads to limit the time of round trip
tickets was decided in the Common
Pleas Court, on the 14th. A man
named Eeck, Of Genoa, was put of
train about year ago, after pre-.
senting a returning ticket, the limit
of which had expired, and brought
suit for $4,000 damages. The jury
charged the jury to regard the ticket
as a contract whose terms the hold
er accepted when purchased. The
jury rendered verdict for $7I2 in
favor of the plaintiff, as he rendered
fare before the train stopped.

Result in Illinois.

The following is the official votC
of Illinois, as reported from the Sec
retary of States office: State Treas
urer-Ridgway, R., 1862; Carroll
D., 126, ,705; Gore, O., 1862; a ma
jority of Ridgway over Carroll of So,
736, and over Gore of S7,749. State
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion-Powell, R., 162,S42; Etter, D.
and o., 1908, majority for Et
ter over Powell of 32,171. The Re-
publicans, it will be seen elect theil
State Treasurer by nearly 10000
majority over the Democratic nom
inee, while it required a combined
vote of Democrats and Grangers for
Etter to defeat the Republican can
didate for Superindent of Instruc-
tion.
The Republican majority is only
500 less than for Governor Oglesby
in 1872 TheRepublican vote is 75,-
333 les than it was then, and the
Democratic vote is 7O,379 less, but
the combined Democratic and Op-
position vote in 1874 on Treasurer
is 1913 more than the Democratic
in 1872. Etter's vote is II less than
the vote for Koerner for Governor
two years ago. These figures, in
view Of the overthrow Of the "Peo-
ple's" movement in Wisconsin in a
single year, are ground for even a
more enthusiastic prophency than
the Chicago Tribune made yesterday,
to wit:
We believe the names TO be in
scribed on the Republican tickets, in
1876, for President and Governor,
and, indeed, all the Republican nom
nations of that year, will be such as
