FIRE!

On last Thursday morning, about six
o'clock, the dwelling house Of Mr.. Peter
Allen, formerly occupied by the late P.
DuSsot, on Main street, west OF the Pres
Ryterian CHURCH, was discovered 10 he
on Gre An alarm was promptly given
and as promptly responded to by the cit
liens of our town, who herOically con-
tended for time with the dcvouring ell
ement, but the fife had gotten under
such Roadway that it was impossible to
control IL, aud tbs building was given
up to destruction and attention directed
to reScuing the contents of the house.
The origin of she fire is the old, old sto.
ry-a defective flue. The loss is estima-
ted at $500 to 81 900. No Insurance. The
sympathy of this community for Mr..
Allen and family was expressed in a
way that cannot be misunderstood
Some three or four hundred dollars have
already been collected and donated to
him to assist in replacing a new build
ing On his large and beautiful lot where
the old building stood. In this connec-
ton it is not out of place to suggest to
the many other property owners of cur
town the wisdom of at once securing
themselves against heavy loses of this
character by insuring against fire. Jas.
A. Carriger, ESQ, of our town, repre-
resents the Knoxville Fire Insurance
company, a home institution conducted
by honest and reliable gentlemen, and
a contract with him would prove much
more satisfactory thaH Independence up

atty, however generous and wealthy it |
may be. Mr.. Allen tenders his graft |

following

A hum of establishment followed the
reading of the communication, and Mr..
Hill, of Georgia, uggested-sOtto Voce--
that this would be good time to elect
the officers of the Senate. MaheRe was
not in the chamber when the announce
ments were made, but when he came
and learned what had been done he
seemed very much perpleXcd, and to a
friend summed up the case with an air
of great concern in these words "Well,
this places me in devil of a FIX"
Subsequently Malone relapsed into per-
plexity, fer upon hearing from several
Republicans whom Democrats had led
to believe a reorganization Of the COM
mittees would be the next move, he ex-
claimed piteOusly, "Then, in the name
of God, what is to become of me?"
Half an hour after the letters of SEN
atOrs ConkliHg and Platt were read to
the Senate, the news was communities
ted to the President. He was sitting at
his table In the executive office, when
one of his secretaries rushed in from the
telegraph clerks desk and excitedly
told linn that the operator had over
heard dispatch, saying That the New
York Senators had resigned. The
President was seized with the same
feeling OF stupetactlSn and .astonisll-
ment that affected all others who had
heard the news Accusing himself he
exclaimed ~ didn't believe it ~ The
first thing the President did after hear
ing the verificatien of the news was to
dispatch messenger to the State De-
partment and request the presence Of
Blame at the White House.
Blaine went ut once, aud they then
held caucus ON the situation. Mes
sengers were instantly dispatched to as
certain the truth or falsity of the report.
When the news was confirmed the
White House was in state of excitc-
ment such was meyer known before.
President Garfield seemed 10 be aston
ished, but was entirely satisfied with
the situation. He considered the resig
nations as virtually surrender of Mr.. !

support and f0resecing u complete de /
