About ten days ago man called at the
depot of the Chicago, Milwaukee + St. Pau
Railway. in this city, claiming to be the
owner of twelve dozen of brooms in store in
the warehouse of the company, which had
been shipped to Watertown from Milwaukee
The man giving perfect description, etc :,
of the broomss sheV were handed over to
him A few days subsequent to this trans
action another individual appeared or the
scene and represented himself as the right
full owner of the brooms. The brooms hav-
ing been disposed of by chap No Ito aaer-
chants about town they could not very we'll
be delivered to chap No. 2 by the railway
company. The rightful owner, so called
then demanded pay for his property which
the company could not deliver to him. Be-
fore becoming a party to the purchase of
any brooms, however, Mr.. Sleeper, the
agent. concluded to enquire into the case
little as the odor of a mice seemed to arise.
Deputy Marshal Rosenbaum went TO Mil.
waukee to ferret out the case if possible
and succeeded in arresting the party of the
irst part named Bowers last Friday night
The case came up before Justice Halliger
Monday for arbitration but how it was set
tied we have not learned

Warehouse and Eating House Burned.

Last Monday night at about III O'Clock
house of Mr.. John Betz on the railroad
track near the depot or the Chicago Mil
waukee and ST. Paul Railway Co., in the
LIST ward The fire spread with rapidity
and the building was soon enwrapped IN
flames and destroyed together with all the
contents, composed OF barley, principally
The fire at once communi cated to the frame
eating house, adjoining the warehouse on
the east, belonging to Mrs G. Sheer and oc
cupied by Mr.. Louis Street Owing to the
want of a sufficient water supply near the
fire the two steamers, although promptly on
hand, were powerless TO do any good, and
the flames soon performed their work of de-
struction on the eating house, leaving a
smodering mass of cinders where a half
hour before had stood both buildings Two
freight cars of the Chicago & N. w. Rail
way, standing on the track on the side of
Betz' warehouse one loaded with coal, and
the other with lumber were burned aiong
with their contents. The coal and lumber
belonged to Messrs Hamln & Ford, the cars
lying on the track at the time in proximity
to their lumber yard awaiting to be unload
Ell. Of course the loss is total one TO
them. Mr.. Street was able to save nearly
all his effects from the eating house and his
loss, except of being thrown out of a home
and business for the present, will be incon-
siderable
Mr.. Betz had an insurance of s. 900 on his
warehouse in the Home of New York, and
81 900 on contents in each of the following
companies: franklin of Philadelphia, Penn
sylvania Fire and Home of New York.
Mrs. Sneer's building was insured in the
lEtna of Hartford for $500. Mr.. Street was
uninsured 1t appears to be the prevalent
opinion that the fire was caused by incen-
diarism. From all We can learn it is hard
20 account for it in any other way. This
fire has demonstrated the necessity that ex-
lists for reservoirs On the part of the city
where it occurred. An abundant supply of
water in the vicirity OF Monday nights fire
you'd have been the means o. saving at
least a portion of the destroyed property.
Steps should be taken as soon AS possible for
the building OF more reservoirs throughout
the city and the erection of additional plat
forms for the steamers ong the river bank

Wood as an Explosive Element,

An eminent jurlst in the county adjoin-
ing had sad accident befal. his stove one
evening last week While himself and fam
ily were sitting in their domi ellie enjoying
the luxury of hot fire sudden and unex-
pected explosion took place in the stove
smashing it in numerous pieces and bring
ing all 10 their feet with startling effect.
The dilapidated stove and badly scared fol-
lower OF Jurisprudence told tale of wood
charged with powder, loudly demonstrating
that the fuel had been selected il hurry
and without the exercise of due care. Moral:
stick CT wood, although peace may not al
ways follow.

253rd ballot.-ED)
Futile motions to adjourn, and every
other possible interruption, came in TO re-
tard legitimate business. Meanwhile, night
approached; the atmosphere was raw and
penetrating; rain descended, and the wait
ing train pulled and whistled warnings.
People who had come over in private con-
veysnces began TO look longingly towards
home, aud many predicted that the affair
would be delayed over night. Al last the
falling twilight was cheered by lamps but
still the gallant body OF Democrats snapped
and snarled and rosred at each other like
untamed beasts. Finally, by a grand crash
Of authority and yels for the question, the
formidable barrier was oyerleaped and the
vote taken on the appeal, from the Chair.
Cries Of "down," down." lowered the
front ranks, and the 253rd ballot was taken.
Fox was dropped behind on this ballot, and
a glorious climax Of excitement ushered in
the 254th ballot, for Durham and Thomp-
son. A motion TO adjourn was made and
lost. Vociferous "noes" held the assem-
bly, together. Men were now defantly
standing upon benches and tables and rail

result had not yet been proclaimed, and
the Chair granted the request. Loud pro-
tests were made, point Of order called and

final war was declared victorious. In a

A pestilence whose malignity is unpre-

our friends and neighbors in various parts
Of the South. l express my profound graf
itude to the citizens OF Kentucky for the
noble and generous efforts already made by
them in behalf Of stricken, suffering peo-
pie. The reports from theYellow Fever dis
rricts show that the disease is extending
the area Of It's rayages, and the death rate
seems to he daily increasing. Sorrow and
suffering, mourning and misery have Ia
ken possession Of some Of the loyeliest cit
les and towns Of the South, and the sad sit
uation shoul d arouse our tenderest sympa-
thies. on the abundance which our people
have in this health-iavored and bountiful-
ly blessed Commonwealth, much can yet
be spared. There should be no cessation
Of the glorious work Of charity while we
are healthy and our neighbour are sick and
dying. God loves a cheerful giver. and
she that hath pity upon the poor lendeth
unto the Lord"
l earnestly request every association, So
cie.y, church. and individual TO aid in some
way our stricken, despairing friends. Re
lief Associations should be organized in ev.
cry county, city, and town. When the dead
