PROBABILITIES"
There has been considerable gossip as to
who will be Secretary of State under the
new administration. As far as we are
able to Judge, we believe the man will
be Hon. Sobieski Brady, the present
Treasurer.
The State Library will continue to be
occupied, no doubt, by Commodore Ned
Wood. This gentlemen has got the
library into trim now, and this fact
should have weight with the Board OF
Public Works.

Robert NJ. Delaplsin, of this city, has
been solicited to become a member OF
Governor Mathews staff, thong b who
the others will be we are unable to state.
In the departments 1t is probable that
Mr.. Bill and Mr.. Cracratt will remain as
clerks in the Auditors room, and VIM.
Hedricks, Esq oticlate as chief clerk in
the Secretary of States office.
The Governors private Secretary could
hardly be any one else than Randolph

grace the office exceedingly well.

MARTINS FERRY ITEMs.--Fridsy night
between seven and eight o'clock the
town was startled by the cry of fire.
On repairing to the spot it was found
to be a stable on an alley between
Fourth and Fifth streets, belonging to
Frank Milligsn. The stable and con-
tents, consisting of hay and corn, were
entirely consumed. Some two or three
houses in the immediate vicinity were
only prevented from being burned, as
the wind at the time was blowing a per-
feet gale, b7 the herculean efforts of our
fire depsi tments. The fire Is thought TO
have been the work of an incendiary
Twice last week the Ohio City mill
was found on fire, but was put out be-
fore any damage was done.
The revival in the M. K. Church still
continues. Something like 125 persons

interest was held in Commercial Hail

cause OF temperance.
Fry Ross, Bud Rogers and one other
inmate of the lookup made their exit
Friday night by makings whole through
the wall. Three others who occupied
the cells failed TO make their escape.

the boy to have to buy one in order to
supply one of his regular customers
Such case is said to have happened in
the Ferry Saturday morning.
