forms which, like the first, had been
burned into a shapeless mass. Late in
the afternoon what was supposed to be
the remains of the eighth and last of the
victims, those of little Paul, aged four,
were found. and all were laid out prepa-
ratory to the work of the undertaken.
Afterward the remains were gathered
up and placed in three caskets, those of
Mr.. Skeeles in one, and those of the
mother and six children in the other two.
Following we give the names and ages
of the victims of tragedy:
Hannah Ann Sloan, aged 81.
Edna Luella Sloan, aged Is.
Clyde Dillon Sloan, aged y.
Libbie J. Knox Sloan, aged 10.
Samuel Alex. Sloan, aged s.
Paul Wardell Sloan, aged 4.
Mary Jane Sloan, aged is months.
Wilbur Skeeles, aged 81.
THE SURVIVORS.
All that are left of this once promis-
ing family of nine persons, are VIM
Sloan the husband and father, and one
little daughter Katie X. Sloan, who is
in her seventh year. These were taken
to the hospitable home of the Rev. J. C.
TaggaTt, where they were tenderly cared
for. Mr.. Sloan's left ankle was found
to be badly sprained, although he seemed
to be entirely unconscious to pain and
personal discomfort, in the depth of the
agony of his great affiiction. We under
stand that he and his wife were men,
berS Of the u. 2. church at their former
home, and were about to unite with the
church of their choice in this place
Katie is a sunny haired, fair complex
toned, bright little girl, who is fortu-
nately of too tender an age to realize the
full meaning of her great loss, and re-
mains the only tie, as her father eX-
presses himself, that he has to the earth.
Mrs. Sloan was the daughter of Elias
Y ost, a well-known and prominent citi-
zen of Harrison county. The brothers
had lived and done business at Harris
vile, until about two and ene-half years
ago, when they removed their business
to Matamoras, whence they came here
in November last. James Sloan was
just about to remove his family and
household goods here, and had arrived
the evening before the fire, with his
brether-in-law Mr.. Sdeeles, who was a
mechanic and about to seek employment
here. He leaves wife and one child.
The remains were placed in caskets
and taken on Thursday for burial to
Harrisville. Mr.. James Sloan preceded
them on Wednesday. to break the news
to his sister Mrs. Skeefes, wife of one of
the victims.
The origin of the fire is involved in
mystery. 1t seems pretty certain that
it started in the basement, urder the
drug store. But Mr.. Sloan states there
was no fire and no light there, nothing
being kept in that apartment but bar
rel or two of refined oil. On Mr.. Stew
arts side there were small furnace,
boiler and engine, used for operating the
elevator to the feed store above, and a
small mill for chopping feed. but Mr.. S.
informs us there had been no fire there
since last Friday. The theory of the
Sloan Bros. is that it was the work of
an incendiary. They do not think the
outside door to the basement had been
unlocked the night before.

HENDRYSBURGH.

On last Saturday the rich sunlight
poured in at our windows, revlving
US somewhat, and making us
feel that winter was nearly over.
We know that many of our poor,
weak mortals are apt to regard winter
as dreary season of the year which is
to be endured not enjoyed. while the
mind lives in anticipation of coming
springtime. If our lives were mere ami
NAL existences. their view would be rea-
sonable, but history and geography tell
US that the most powerful and happy
people live on the zone where winter
bears sway several months of the year.
Mr.. Adam Rankin, whose illness we
noticed in our last items, died OH the
18th alt. He was aged 72 years, and he
was highly esteemed by all who knew
him, being an honest, upright man, hay
ing resided in this township forty-two
years.
Charles Smith, aged 80 years, died on
the 21st ult., after few days illness. He
resided near our village for nearly fifty
years. He was consistent member of

all who knew him.

GEN. GARFIELD left Mentor at noon
on Monday, for Washington, by special
train over the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The private cars of Vice President Nc
Cullough and General Manager J. d.
Lang, were rendered and accepted by
the Presidential party, which was COM
posed as follows: President-elect, wife
and mother, daughter Mollie and sons
Abram aud Irving, Gen. L. A. Sheldon
and wife, Capt. C. E. Henry, Judge Ad-
vocate ]. D. Swain, Secretaries ]. P.
Brown and o. L. Judd and several news
paper representatives. Almost the en-
tire population in the neighborhood of
Mentor gathered at the depot to say
farewell to their friend and neighbor.
An appropriate address on behalf of the
people was delivered by Hon. A. l..
Tinker, which was eloquently and feel
ingly responded to by Gen. Garfield
The route was by way of Ashtabula and
Pittsburgh road, thence by the P. T. W.
& c. road to Pittsburgh, thence by the
Pennsylvania road via. Harrisburgh and
Baltimore to Washington, where the
party arrived on Tuesday morning.
Along the whole route the people gath
cred at the depots to see the distinguish
ed party, and the President-elect was
greeted with the heartiest enthusiasm
wherever he made an appearance.

COLERAIN.

WIN. Wyatt, highly respected col
ored man was buried last week; he had
been suffering for several months with
pulmonary affection. On the day of his
death he fell on the ice, rupturing a
blood vessel and died in few minutes.
The sad calamity that has befallen
the family of VIM. Sloan has been the
all absorbing subject of conversation
during the past few days. He was for
many years Il resident of this vicinity
and was well known to many of our
citizens. He was engaged here in run
ming a steam saw mill just before he en-
gagged in the drug business. His wife
was the daughter of Elias Yost who re-
sides southwest of HarriSville. She will
be remembered by many as one of the
fairest girls that belonged to the Presby-
terian church at Wheeling Valley; she
was also noted for her amiable disposi-
tion and devotion to the cause of re-
ligion. . ...-.,......
Wilbur Skeels, who also perished at
the same time, was known to but few of
our people; he worked awhile on our
school houses last wiuter.
We have made further tests of the
vitality of the corn. 20 grains taken
from 10 ears, 45 of them germinated
one-half of this corn was husked about
the 1st of November and put in an open
box in the crib; the balance of it re-
mained in the shock until short time
ago.
Daniel Oxley has sold his farm to
VIM. Hall, who resides near Harrisville.
He expects to remove to the vicinity of
Atalissa, Iowa. John Baker will set
tie at Cherokee, Kansas. By the reno
val of these two families we lose some
of our best citizens. They were born
in this township, and will carry with
them the good will and best wishes of
the people with whom they have been
associated for the past fifty yeaIs.
Miss Mary Hall is at home on visit
from the Oberlin school. We learned
from her that there is about 1900 stu
dents attending the school at that place,
the town has about 5000 inhabitants,
and only one place in it where they sell
tobacco; drunk man would mot dare
show himself in the town. We move to
tended so as to embrace the whole State.
We are informed by Joshua Maui that
Hannah Hall was cordially received
and very kindly treated by the inhab-
itants of Oceanica: the Presbyterians,
Methodists, and others, gave her the use
of their churches, and made special ef-
forts to secure large congregations for
her. On her way home she stopped at
New Zealand, which she regards as
very fertile country; while there she
made the acquaintance of a farmer who
owns $4,000 head of sheep.
Making maple sugar has been slow
business so far.
The baggage master on morning train
of the T. V. r. shows signs of relapsing
into his old malady. Perhaps a prescrip-
tion from the Probate Judge would cure
him of the habit of waving his handker-
chief at ladies along the road.
A singular and nearly fatal case of
occurred in the family of Wm.
Fowler. A sleigh bell was given the ba-
by as plaything; the bell had come in
contact with oil on the harness, which
covered it with verdigris; of course all
playthings find their way to the baby's
mouth. f-..I... -.
