day says. Carbondals has lost one Of
her most ornamental buildipgs. About
half past two o'clock am, Friday, the
kitchen Of Mr.. Hindmand's house was
discovered on FIRE; an alarm WAS immedi-
ately raised, the inmates Of the building
hastily escaped only partially clad, siren
uous efforts were made 10 save some of the
furniture, but with the exception Of that
In the front parlor, all was lost. We learn
that six thousand dollars is all the insur.
aace upon the building and its oontsnts---
about ons half the actual loss. We rejoice
in the fact that no lives we're lost, and We
most sincerely sympathizs with Mr.. Hind
man in the loss Of his beautiful home and
an hundred things dear 70 him and his by
many associations. Mr.. aud Mrs. Wick.
wire have also lost extensively in clothes
and other vsluables."
1T 10 said that an attempt 10 kill and
rob man was made on last Thursday
night at one of the shanties on the Kene
lucky shore, o ehort distance below the
ferry landing The person from whom
we received our information Is Mr.. Keen,
who keeps a saloon At the landing. Mr..
Keen says that on Thurs lay night three
men crossed over the river from this city
Ia skifr, and took up their quarters for
the night in one Of tho shsnties
ABOVE referred to. Late IN the
night one Of the men came to his Mr.
Keens) place and purchased some meat
aud coffee, and laid down $40 bill out of
which Mr.. Keen took his pay. In maxi
ing the change Mr.. Keen noticed that
this man had considerable money. Two
hours later another Of the party came TO
Mr.. Keen's, house and stated that the
man who Lal purchased the meat and cof-
fec q few hours before had stolen all the
money there was 10 the party
and ran of. But being closely
questioned atout tho matter the man
told three or four different stories, and
Mr.. Keen began to suspect that there had
been foul play somewhere. Tho next
morning Mr.. Keen went to tho shanty,
and what he saw there more than ever
convinced him that IN awful crime had
been committed. Ths floor Of the house
was bespa,tered with blood, and
distinct traces Of blood could
be followed to the rivers edge. Two Of
the men who went over in the skiff were
still lingering about the house. and Mr..
Keon determined TO have them arrested
on q charge Of murder. He went back
home and gathered up posse for the
purpose, but on returning to the shanty
the birds had flown, and no trace
OF them could be found. 1t 10
