THE FIRE FIEND.

On last Monday afternoon, shortly after three
o'clock, the large machine shop formerly owned
by Il. Ball & Co, was discovered to be on fire.
The works have been standing idle for long
tlme except small part, which has been occu.
pied by a few repair hands. The fire originated
by sparks from a chimney. AssOon as an alarm was
sounded, the FIRE department In full force was
promptly on hand and got quickly to work, but
owing to the inefficiency Of the water supply,
caused by the present unreliable condition of the
branch pipes, they were unable to gain any ad-'
vantage over the flames for long time. The
flames destroyed all the roofing and timbers OF
the Cedar street wing and part of the second floor
in the west end, also all the windows, but 1t was
prevented from getting into the lower story. 1t
worked along with persistent headway to the
buildings on Poplar street, thence southwark to
the end of the old finishing room, destroying only
the roof and upper windows and some lumber
stored in the upper part, though the machinery
has been somewhat damaged by water The fire
men worked like beavers, and had they had the
advantages Of a stronger wafer power, would have
succeeded In checking the flames sooner than
they did. The loss Is estimated ten thousand
dollars, and the establishment was insured for
s6O,OOO principally in Pittsburgh companies.

ON last Tuesday evening disagraceful scene
was enacted on the l., S, Il T. V, Railway excur-
sion train, which was coming south from an ex-
cursion to Cleveland. number Of Cantonians
were on the train, and we received our informa.
ton from an eye witness. After the train had left
Grafton, and was coming south, the conductor
whose name we were unable to learn, went through
the cars taking up the tickets. There was young
man on board from Brookfield, this county
named Smith, and when the conductor asked for
his ticket, he searched through his clothes, but
was unable to find it, though many reliable pas.
sengers and the excursion agent, who was on
board, agree without hesitation that Smith had
paid his fare and had ticket, though where he
had lost it he was unable to state. Finally after
much controversy, the conductor stopped the
train and compelled Smith to get off, and as the
train moved on, Smith again boarded the train
After short interval, and when the train was
moving rapidly the conductor discovered smith,
and Immediately struck him on the head with a
billy, and kicked him in the breast, knocking him
from the steps, and leaving him on the ground,
possibly dead. A number of passengers who saw
the occurrence grew very indignant, and the news
spread through the train rapidly; angry men
rushed through the cars making all sorts Of
threats and swearing vengeance, women screamed
men swore, and ran to and fro and the scene be,
came exciting in the extreme; they would doubt.
less have made dangerously warm forthe conduc
tor could they have found him, but before the ex'
citement had reached its highest point the con.
ductor, realizing his danger, had jumped from
the train and made his escape. We have not yet
heard anything further on the subject, and at
present cannot state the extent of Smiths injuries

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

BOSTON, August %.
The trade in wool continues very quiet, and
there is hardly enough doing to give foundation
to report The country has sold a large share OF
its cOmbing wOols and the trade consists of odd
lots of fine tieeces on which prices are tending
slightly downward. The Shipping List is of the
opinion that If fine woods so any lower there is
room for speculation in that line, but no dispOai
tion to take hold for that purpose is manifested In
the east. Sales of Ohio and Pennsylvania at Asa
