MASON, o.-For the past y ear or more
the CINCINNATI DAILY STAR has circu-
lated largely In this place, and during
this time no regular correspondence has
appeared in its columns. Believing 1t OF
vital Importance to our village that it
should he heard from, we shall endeavor
to furnish your readers with our locals
as they come under our notice.
From what we are able to learn the
stock in the Miami Valley Narrow-gauge
railf0ad Is all taken at this point. There
seems to be daily growing interest in
this new enterprise, AMI the indications
are that the road will be built.
Mr.. Mantord Hall and Miss Katie
Brooks were Joined In marriage Al the
ID. W.. Van Dyke officiating. Our best
wishes attend The young couple.
A number OF our young men are en-
gagged in the organization Of cOrnet
band. They report success, and they
will no DOUBT succeed. They are under
the leadership of David Bishop, an ac-
complished musician.
HAMILTON, O.-Andrew Wirtz a son
of Mr.. Wirtz, in the employ of Messrs.
l.. Snider g Son, was instantly killed
last evening while riding on the rear end
OF a freight caboose, which backed down
with considerable force against the Peo-
ria parlor car, standing on the side track
awaiting the arrival OF the eight-O'clock
train north TO take it out. The passen-
gers in the coach were shaken up badly,
but none of them hurt. The platform ON
which Wirtz was standing was smashed
up, and he was struck and wedged in.
His skull was broken, and he was other
wise horribly mangled. His death was
immediate. Two boys, John Schuler and
Henry Dirmer, who were on the other
platform of the caboOse, were also badly
mangled, their limbs broken, and they
are not expected to survive their injuries.
Yesterday the new street-cars were
put ON the track and the citizens given
tree ride--who were willing to accept
OF The same.
The Board of Health has been empow-
cred by Council to contract with respon-
sible parties for the removal OF dead AMI
mails from the city. ...--
The Street Railwaywere,b ordinance,
granted the right to run their road up
Franklin street, First ward, but in doing
SO they are also required to finish that
part OF the road granted in the charter
which extends out to the Cemetery.
John Robinson, the son Of farmer
living west of Hamilton, while out hunt
ing, yesterday afternoons accidentally
shot himself. He, with other boys, Went
ON fishing and hunting excursion on
the Four-mile creek, and Robinson,
while walking through some
high weeds struck the lock Of
his shotgun on q twig. The hammer
flew back ana discharged the lead OF the
gun In his right side. DR.. kirkpatrick
was sent Tor, but the boy who in the
meantime had been removed to house,
died before the doctor arrived.
Joseph Moses, Dept. Sheriff Of Hamil-
ton county, was in the city yesterday to
look in on The Knfer trial.
The interest in the Rufer trial still CON-
linues, and the crowd in the Court rOUm

Mrs. David s. GoodIoe, who died last
Saturday evening, took place yesterday
afternoon from her husbands residence,
East Main street,. -
MIR. j. s. Nichols left yesterday for a
trip to the Hot Springs OF Arkansas.
In our enumeration or rings Ill this
city, the school-book ring was omitted.
Such combination does exist, but their
members move with cat-like caution.
The Sheriff of Boyle county passed
through the city on Monday with four
prisoners for the Penitentiary, three OF
whom were colored men sentenced for
robbery. The white man was convicted
of murder and sentenced for only two
years.
We find it exceedingly difficult to get
items of news from city officials. A few
of them who yentured to give the STAR
information about city affalrs have been
friendly officials said lately to a STAR
reporter: .Don't tell anybody that was
talking to you, or they will come here
and give me the devil"
On several streets the broken stone is
laid on SO lavishly as to make the street
higher than the sidewalk. In other
Diaces holes are in the streets deep
enough to bury dog. But nobody will
complain, as Messrs. Murphy and Nc
Laughlin have u monopoly OF this ex.
pensIye work, backed up as they are by
General Councilman Huston and other
powerful magnates, whose official con-
duct none but the STAR Will dare to
critlcise.

yersity is entirely unsectarian. The Re-
gent may think 80, but a goodly portion
Of our citizens will not agree with him
as long as Prof. Everest continues to
use his position tor sectional and secta-
rian purposes. His nelghbors charge
him with beingon the siae of sectional
and seotarian bigotry.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. F. Cannon have
returned from an extended trip to the
interior Of Ohio, much improved In
health.
One half of Lexington is for rent and
the other halt is for sale. The Chinese
like policy OF its stylish citizens dis
courages Industrial people of enterprise
from coming and building up It's corner
lots.
The State of Kentucky ia the bSttle-
field of the publishing houses of Wilson,
Hinkle u Co., Of Cincinnati, and OF John
+. Morton u Co., Of Louisyille, as to who
shall possess the public schools, SO as to
lind sale for their text books. The ior-
mer house is the most powerful, while
the latter has many friends, some of
whom reside in this city, who viii not
iorsake that firm in a crisis. The sys-
tenn Uf changing school books unneces-
sarily is simply genteel robbery.
The unfortunate trouble in the Christ
ian Church In this city is telling on the
prosperity Of the Kentucky university,
