FELL IN 4 FIT.
\ Woman to Whom Il Misfor-
tune Brings Lucre.

Yesterday on our way To the extreme
southern part OF the city, We noticed q
crowd of females and small children
gathered near the corner OF Eotf and
TWcntv-seventh streets, and thinking
that some one had been murdered, We
FASTENED with bated breath to the scene,
only 10 learn that female who gave her
name aS Smith. without V, had fallen
in Il fit. She, after writing upon the
ground iUr few moments, sufficiently
recovered To tell a woetul story
OF her suffering. The woman stated
that she resided on Thirteenth street
with four children and IN invalid hus-
band. the latter ol whom was able to do
light work, but could not get employ
ment anywhere in the city, and that
she had started ont to beg something for
the family To eat. a. they had not 4
crumb in the house. and that she had
wandered about. not having holiness to
ask anyone Tor aid. In an incredibly
short time the wumanS baskct--fOr she
carried a large one on her arm---was
filled with coffee, sugar, Il small sack OF
-four and some bacon. One lady
lady, whose heart is filled with charity,
took her bonnet from her head and
gave it 10 Mrs. Smith. She received
several dollars from men who, in the
meantime, had come mp. Alter resting
about hall an hour, Mr.. Smith depart
rd Tor her home.
Ii we mistake not, this is the same
female who, week before last, was taken
with Il fit at the corner OF Jacob and
Eighteenth streets, from which place
she was taken into Il grocery near by
and her basket filled with cdiblcs by
charitable persons. She told the same
story. but said she lived with her fam
ilv in Fulton.

Fire - Musical Feast - Funeral.

Mr.. III. F. Bowers, OF Clinton, Iowa,
was in our city yesterday. He informed
us that he had brought his wife, who
died in Clinton, to GAINESVILLE, her for-
mer home, for interment. Her disease
was consumption. She leaves husband
and two children to mourn her loss.
Her sudden demise has cast Il gloom
over her many friends, not only IN this
section, but in the western part oil the
county.
The feast OF 1t. Cecilia, Patroness of
Music, will be celebrated November 22d,
in Beilaire, by a first-class concert by
musical talent OF Bellaire. assisted by
Mrs. Whitacre, Misses Jamison and
Caldwell, and Messrs. Lucas Il Arkle, ol
Wheeling. The proceeds are To be
given 10 the poor. Turn ont every one
and lend a helping hand. See posters
as TO place OF holding concert.
Another mysterious fire in Bellmrc,
Thursday morning about one O'Clock, in
the BelIairc Gaslight and Coke Com
panv'S office. The tirr, when first dis
covered, was in the northeast corner d
the room, probably fifteen feet from any
stove. In the corner where the fire orig
mated was small cupboard or press
about four feet high. The bottom was
used to put old dirty clothes after work
andthe top used for thecOmpany 5 books
which were in the fire and 50 badly
burned that they are rendered entirely
useless. The squires books and the
Water works books were i'll the same
room, but were not damaged. The fire
burned the partition, which was wood,
through into the plumbing establish.
ment OF Mr.. James Fitton, but the
flames were soon eXtinguished with but
little damage, except the loss of the com
| PAWS book. Had the fire not been
seen as soon as il was, thousands OF dol
lars worth OF property would have been
burned TO ashes, rs the buildings all
| around it are frame, and one very large
! furniture store. How so many fires or
innate in the dead hour OF the night
when the proprietOrs are at home asleep
| is a mystery, but the general sentiment
| is that it was set on fire. Whenever a
fire occurs in Bellaire rats or mice are al
WAYS blamed, but i'll the last two fires
! in this city neither rats or mice had d
hand. 1t was two-eggcd rats or mice.
! Some extra measures should be taken 10
! catch these men who have nothing else
to do but destroy property, and cndan-
ger lives. Put on an extra force OF night
watchmen. 1t will be cheaper in the
long run. The above is not only our
opinion, but that OF great many others.
The social gathering at MIR. Fred.
Muhleman's $, last night, was quite an en-
| joyable affair.
