FIRE IN TRENTON.
The Largest Part Of Ono Of the Best
Business Blocks in Ashes.

TRENTON, Jan. 2d.-The Trenton
Evening Republican says:
The most destructive fire that ever
visited Trenton broke out yesterday
morning IN Torpey's restaurant, about
Z clock. and before the flames were
subdued had cleaned up the entire half
block from Wilson's restaurant to
Wetzlers corner; and where, on Satur-
day, was busy shops and thronged
stores, to-day is hlackened mass of
tlmbers and masonry.
Mr.. Torpey, at whose place the FIRE
started, came 10 froIL kis house at halt
past six, yesterday morning and built a
fire IN the front room of his restaurant.
He then returned home on an errand
and while there he heard the cry of fire,
He quickly hurried up town again and
found his building in flames. He sup
posed the fire caught from the fue.
As is well known the block in which
the fire started was composed almost
entirely of wooden buildings that have
been standing many years, until every
timber in them was as dry as finder.
Such being the case it was an utter
lmpossibllity 20 even attempt to sub
due the flames: and so quickly did the
adjoining buildings burn that the fam.
lily OF Fred Day barely escaped with
their lives. Sheets millinery store
was soon enveloped in the flames, and
in half hour from the first alalm the
Netzler building was rapidly burning.
The fire burned the other way much
slower, and about the time the
Wetzler building was burning the
brightest the flames reached Mich OILS
drug store. Here strong fight was
made to stop the FIRE, but the stairway
and the door up stairs at the side made
it an impossibility with the means at
hand.
Total estimated losses about $4,000,
on which there is an insurance of about
So, 900.

New Years Eve was quite an event
full one to our quiet little town.
The first thing of importance was
A SHOOTING ArFRAY
at tho hotel. A man by the name OF
Low was sitting in the Office, when ne
deliberately drew revolver and shot
a young colored man, called Andy,
who was employed about the hotel.
There was no provocation whatever,
but the man was crazed with whiskey
to such an extent that he afterwards
said he did not know he had shot any
one. Two bottles were found in his
pockets, one Of which was full: the
other had been emptied. The ball
struck the negro about two inches
above the navel. The direction of the
ball is not definitely determined. He
is stillliving (Monday), but is in a
dangerous condition. Low was taken
to Monticello and lodged in jail.
The Odd Fellows had an oyster sup
per that night. About $50 were in
attendance.
The students Of the High School
had sociable at the school building,
and rang in the New Year. ~

simply convenient terms which had
been invented to cover certain crimes.

An ECONOMICAL WIFE.

The wife Of the man next door has a
fertile brain which is kept actively EN-.
ployed in variety Of directions,
Among her household gods are dozeh
plants In pots, and variety of these
in box mounted on a pedestal. The
box she got at the store; the pedestal
she and the boy together made. After
lit was done she wanted it painted.
She might have sent it to the painter
for that purpose, but he would charge
more than it was worth. To save the
extra cost she determined to do the
extra work herself. She could get a
pound Of paint, all mixed in pot,
with brush for twenty cents-the pot
and brush to be returned after the
work was done. 1t was simple thing
to paint, and she could put it on as
easily and nicely as a trained hand
could do it. The man next door did
not think much about it. 1t was not in
his line, but he got the paint.
The paint was green, and when the
box and pedestal took that color, and
the vines got to growing, the effect was
going to be real nice. He brought up
the pot paint on coming to dinner,
and she did the painting in the after
noon. 1t was great surprise to the
wife of the man next door to see how
little of the paint was required to color
the box and pedestal, and how much
was left after the work was done What
should she do with it! Not return it,
Of course, for she would not be allowed
anything for it. Now that she had it,
she might as well use it. There was
undoubtedly something it could be
used on.
She looked around for the object in
question, and was nst long in finding
it. There are more or less dingy, bat
tered articles about a house, which
pot Of paint could improve. Her eye
lighted on a box holding her securing
sand. In few moments it was a de-
lightful green.
Then she looked around for other
fields to conquer. and presently found
them, and continued to find them as
long as the presence Of paint made it
necessary to search for them. She was
nearly the whole afternoon using up
shat pot Of paint, but it was time well
And it was amazing, as she admitted
to herself, how for twenty cents worth
of paint would go, judicionsly applied.
She knew her husband would be sur
prised when he came home at night at
all she had done.
And he was.
When he observed the green clock
case, and green paper rack. and found
he had green writing desk, and con-
templated the green foot stool and saw
the green coal scuttle, and got against
the green clothes horse, he was too full
to say word.
Then he picked up mis- green boot
jack, and when he did that he gave a
wild, scared look about the room, sat
down in a chair, and found his voice.
He said:
