Some outraged person Who was At the

meant
-Sperks from Q locomotive set FIRE 10 six
hay stacks on Jno. Bolands farm, near the
CITY, IN the Lexington Branch, yesterday.
The fire vas communicated 70 hedge fence
which was badly damaged.
The vhitem did not have time to
carve the meat and cut the bread and
great chunks Of meat weighing twenty or
thirty pounds were carried of together
With whole loaves Of bread.
Some onery dog, Who should have
been -knawing" the missile which he uaed,
threw hook bone At some person in tbs

DR.. Kings little boy in the forehead, caus.
ing tie blood to Gov quite freely:
A daughter of Isaac Anderson, who
lives about eleven miles south Of this city,
was seriously injured BY the wagon in which
she vas riding being overturned. The team

Mr. ]. W. Burress.
Captain Austin Speed, the conductor
On the excursion train running TO the grove
in attempting to put "dead beat" of the
train, had his clothes considerably worsted.
But the d. b. came out of the melee with.
out hardly any clothes on his back. After
being put Of, he tried to climb on the en-
CINE but Was kicked by the engineer, and
cent whirling down the embankment.
Two thousand loaves Of bred we're
furnished BY the City Bakery for the bar
becue. This bakery. under the manage
ment of g. B. Koyle, turns out nothing but
fnt-class work. They employ, to superin.
tend the baking. Mr.. Armbruster, Who Is
veil known ~ one of the bert bakers in the
West, and their saleroom on Ohio street is
1t all times filed with evidences of bis skill
fresh from the ovens.
When it was announced that dinner
was - ready - it ever would be, there wds
q rush. To describe the scene that followed
is scarcely an impossibilIty. The charge
vas general and without order. Bxlaklava
vas not circumstance - compared with
this. The crowd started as If shot from q
cannon. When the confusion subs,ded not
. vestage Of the dinner or table remained.
1T il said that the charge on the dinner
tables at the barbecue was led by Republi.
cans and Greeubacken. Several of them
we're seen upon the grounds suspiciousIy
watching the movements of the cooks and
the masters of ceremonies. The conclusion
IL drawn from the fact that had it been the
work Of the Democrats leg Of the table or
. hoard would have been left to mark the
spot where the table once stood.
An unforeseen and very unfortunate
accident occurred in the barbecue excursion
train. Capt. Austin Speed, the fat and
gtntlemany conductor Was called upon to
put IN unruly dead beat" of the cars.
The fellow resisted and the Captain sat
down on hlm. He still showed fight and
then the Cap got 30 hot that he melted and
run all over the fellow. There was moth
left for the coroner but lot If old clothes
and q grease spot.
IL Is customary for Q certain class Of
roughs to to get into barbecues and run
things rscklesly and the one yesterday
VA not exempt. The beer and whiskey
On the ground set that element in motion.
Long before the hour for dinner motley
crowd gathered around the roast and to
to relieve the tedium of waiting .
drunken fellow was urged to address the
hungry multitude. He wss forcibly picked
up and placed on the table
where the dinner Was to b served and
while standing up surveying the crowd he
received vOlley of bread and meat. He
got Gown without saying . word. In the
melee one threw . piece of bloody meat
that struck . man in the mouth and the
blood trickled down his face. The slum.
berinx lion was aroused. He just wanted
70 zee the man to who "threw that liver"
but did not find him. The man who got
hit was greenbacker and the man Who
threw the meat vas . radical. Warrants
are out for the arrest Of both parties.
