THE LAUGHLIN MILL FIRE.
The Loss. the Insurance and Other Mat
ters Connected With the Mill.

The Loss, the Insurance and Other Mat
tiers Connected With the Mill.
One of those ludicrous typographical
errors, that are always bound to occur
in a newspaper office when matters are
rushed, occurred in the account OF the
Laughliu mill fire, in yesterdays issue;
the account was written at 4 A. N. and
no time was afforded to read proof,
hence the loss was placed at from $780,
600 to $500 600 when it should have
been from Sc, 900 to $4,000.
In 1878, when the mill was purchased
by the Laughlin Nail Works, the price
paid was in the neighborhood OF S6O, 600,
but Immediately after purchasing, the
company greatly improved the property
and enhanced its value.
The insurance on the total property is
placed as follows: Royal OF Liverpool,
$4,000; Queen of Liverpool, $4,000;
Lancashire OF Manchester, $4,000;
London and Lancashire OF Liver
pool, $4,000; Manhattan OF
New York, $1,000; Fire Associa-
ton of Philadelphia, $1,000; British
American, OF Toronto, $1,000; kenton,
oil Covington, KY. $500; German, OF
Wheeling, SO, COO; .Etna Fire and Marine
of Wheeling, $1,000; Peabody OF Wheel
ing 50 900; and Fire and Marine, s., OCO
The total amount, which is all placed by
the J. V. L. Rodgers agency, foots up
S65, 800.
The loss to the companies will be be-
tween twothirds and three fourths the
amounts on the face Of the policies.
This is accounted for by the saving OF
the warehouse and the contents together
with the salvage on the machinery, etc.
The loss of time will be the great loss.
There was not a mill in this vicinity
that was dong better business, and 1t
had orders enough OH hand to run the
mill to its fullest capacity for several
weeks. The blow to Martins Ferry is
also heavy one, as 80 many OF her clti'
zens are thrown out OF employment.
There was a meeting Of the members
OF the firm yesterday, and while il was
a hurried one, and no definite steps
taken, the probability, almost certainty,
is, that the works will be rebuiE as Soon
as the debris can be cleared away and
new material procured.

the City Schemes.


the City Schemes.
For the pact year and a bali among
the city affairs mostly discussed u Is pfo.
bable that the high water service, tla'
the CITY is in need OF, has received
large proportion OF the numerous
schemes devised for the benent Oh tne
citv. Now that the pumps and Doiiers
oI the city bid fair to supply more tnsn
water enough to keep the basin fuii, q
h;ah water service will all probability
Sncb a plan as bsilding new basin
docs not appear to be feasible at pres
ont and the raising OF the walls oil the
present basin is altogether out oil the
pnestion. Even now, they are hardly
strong enough, as was shown IN the last
report of the Superintendent, when ne
stated that the west wall mad moved a
little: this proves conclusirely that
sbonid Ave feet additional be built on
ton of the present walls, the pressure
w6ujd be so great that the water
would burst the walls down inn
mediately. While not being
ahle TO stand any more
pressure, the present walls have 5sen
strengthened 60 that they will do very
nicely.
Meeting gentleman the other day
who has for years been Interested IN
city affairs, the reporter asked him Tor
his views on the high water service.
His reply was this: snow, that the
30 inch pipe is to be put down, my plan
would be this, and pride myself it Is
cheap, and one that will fully answer
the demands: You know on the east
side of the basin a hill rises. Well,
now construct long boiler,
saw 100 feet long and 80 or
4Oinches in diameter. Dig a trench up
this hin, making it concavs and pave II
with brick. In this trench place this
long boiler. Then purchase small y
inch Worthington pump and place 1t at
the basin to pump water to the top OF
the boiler, and to the bottom oil the
boiler attach the new 80 inch pipe. Your
big pumps pump to the basin and the
small one from the basin to the top oil
the boiler and the overflow will run
down the paved trench into the basin
again. The big pressure is thus put on
the new so inch main and will not burst
the other pipes, and your supply is
pumped about 100 feet above the basin
into the stand pipe. The expense com,
pared with the benefits would be small
and Pm sure no one would he dissatisti
ed and ali high ground would be suppl

After this report had been read last
NIGHT. Mr.. Kimberly offered the follow
ing: o.. T;

ICED to borrow the sum OF $4,000 tenn
norarily for immediate use in paying the
bills now due and to be paid this month,
said loan to be obtained at a rate oil IN
terest not to exceed per cent:
This was adopted. but the following,
which Mr.. Baker had on the table, was
not reached: -
Res5Ired, That P. l.. Kimberly be
authorized to act in connection with tue
Finance Committee in negotiating a
loan of Sl2, 500 for four months at o per

The amount of money the city owes

spoken OF as an overdraft and was so re-
ferred to in yesterdays paper, and right
here it would do no harm to state that
in Yesterdays Issue the estimated over,
draft" was placed too high by several
Thousand. "Overdraft" in the first
place is the wrong word; the amounts
of money obtained from the bank have
been on orders authorized by Council
and drawn by the Clerk on the City Re-
ceiyer and accepted by him, after which
they were discounted for four months
at the proper rate of interest. The pres
ent amounts that the city owes, less the
amount OF interest, and the date OF ma
thrifty are given below.

The State Normal Schools.

The Legislature appropriated last
wear the sum of $1,000 for the support
ofthe State Normal Schools. Out OF this
amount Hon. &. l.. Butcher, State
Superintendent, has paid the following
an cunts: Fairmont $1,000, Shepherds
town 81, 246, West Liberty STA 80, Mar
shall College 81 200 50, Concord Sips.
Glenville $3.50, making total OF 1878
paid out for the past school year, con-
sisting of three terms. The law allows
$3.50 per month for each pupil in actual
attendance, and in no case can any
school receive over 5000.
The reports received from these
schools, show them to be in a flourish
ing condition. This prosperity is the
result ofthe efficient and clever Superin-
tendent's work and that OF his corps OF
able assistants.
