fire was discovered in the residence Of Mr.. Hahn
on Charles street. Hose Co No. 6 was promptly
on hand and succeeded in extinguishlng the
flames, but not until the building and contents
were damaged to the extent Of about 5000. For
some reason the alarm was not given the balance
of the department, and consequently they were
not called out, The fire is supposed to have orig.

ALLIANCE-The case Of the State Of Ohio vs N,
Early came up for hearing before Mayor Day
on Tuesday last, Burden and Amerman for the
State, and R. 8. Shields, Of Canton, and H. Laugh.
lin for the defense, The case had attracted con
siderable attention and the court room was
crowded with spectators. AS was expected by
most thinking people acquainted with the facts,
after hearing Of the evidence, the suit was sum-
marily dismissed. The case was a rather pecul-
lar one. From the evidence adduced at the
hearing 1t seems that Mrs. Maria Calvin had
some months since brought slander suit against
Mr. Early, laying her claim at ten thousand dol
lars damage to her character, from words said to
have been uttered by Early The defendant in.
tending to set up the Truth Of his words, as par
Of his answer to the charge Of slander, went
about obtaining the evidence to prove at the
plaintiff was all that he should have said Of her.
For several months he had kept close watch
upon her movements, which resulted finally in
him, In company with three other men as wit
neSses, overtaking her in fragrant delicto, with
one L. M. Tuttle, now residing In Palmyra on
the evening of election day. During the excite.
ment Of the occasion the woman dropped her hat,
which one of the men picked up and carried
away. This occurrence formed the basis Of the
suit against Mr., Early the charges being assault
and battery and highway robbery. The present
hearing is the third time which the case has
come up In different shapes, and 1t is hoped that
this will end the matter 1t is case that should
never have been brought into court aud 1t is
fortunate for the State that II was allowed to go
no further.-ReUiew
