night. NUMBER OF llleS were Tenlllteu,
and considerable business of an important
nature was transacted and then the rangle
as to who should examine the city book
closed the scene as the curtain dropped at
about II o'clock.
Thursday morning about II o'clock a fire
broke ont in the southern portion of the
Tarr & Co. distillerv, situated ON the Town
Branch, at the limits of the city. Tat
portion of the building being of wood, and
very dry, the flames spread rapidly, and,
famed by sharp breeze from the south,
soon reached the main portion of the build
ing. The fire engines were quickly in posi-
tion and did efficient work, but before the
flames could be subdued some $4,000 or
5000 worth of property had been de-
strOyed on which we are informed there
was no insurance. Fears were entertained
that the bonded warehouse, containing
some $500 900 worth Of whisky, would burn,
but, being closely watched, was saved. The
partners in the business are VIM. Tarr of
Paris r. J. Megibben of Cynthiana, and
Sam. Clay Of Lexington. Quite a number
of hands were daily employed, who are now
without work, and this we consider the
most serious feature in the case.
Last Thursday night according to previ-
Gus ARRANGEMENTS, the merchants of our
city assembled en- masse at Clearv Hall,
every business firm of the city being repre-
sented. The meeting was called to order
by Mr. Horace Craig, and, on motion,
Squire Bassett was elected Chairman and
MIR. George McCan Secretary. The object
OF the meeting was to protest against the
pool formed by the railroads against the
merchants of this city, by means of which
they are made to pay from 80 to 81 cents
per 100 pounds for freight, while smaller
towns, and at greater distance, receive their
goods at from Is to 20 cents per 100 pounds.
A motion from Mr.. Alex. Pearson caused
the paper read calling for this mes ting and
which contained the names of nearly all the
business men of the city. A committee of
six was appointed to visit Cincinnati, and,
if possible, secure the immunity of this city
from the determinations made against her
trade, and especially to protest against the
present pooling system inaugurated against
her interest. The meeting then adjourned
TO meet immediately after the return of the
committee.
