the history of the bonanza kings OF

were born south of the Mason's and
Dixon's line, and none of them came
from the slave holding class" We
don't know any circumstance on
which the South has more cause to
pride herself, for of all the low bred

PARKEEsBURG, November 2.-The closing

ed in Parkersburg and in an Ohio hotel in
the neighboring village Of Belpre tonight.
The actors in the romantic drama recently

argry brother pursued the A:eing lovers,
ard when about to cross the Ohio river at

schools, won the affection o; Miss Emma
Pool, one OF the fairest OF Spencer's ladies,
yet in her teens, but the match
was opposed by tie mother OF the
aGy who was determined she
should marry young disciple OF Black
stone, named Cunningham, of Spencer.
The sequel shows the lovers were equal to
the emergency. Having enlisted the aid
Of q friend, the possessor OF a good team,
who in company with the now happy
bridegroom, stole fair Emma from her
home yesterday morning at o'clock and
BY circuitous route exaded their pur-
.uers, reaching here this morning by the

TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND THE LOSS.
The Chared Remains Of Five More VIC
Tins Found in the Ruins o. the
Great Fire in Savannah,
Georgia.

CLEVELAND. November AT l o'clock
this morning fire started in the new barn
of the hotel, and destroyed large part Of
the village OF wi!loushby, twenty miles
east of here. A high wind increased
The Force OF the Flames,
which consumed about twenty stores,
dwellings, sheds and barns on Spaulding
and Fries streets, also cremating six horses
and one span o. mules. The principal
buildings destroyed were A. W. Gunnis'
villa, r. Kennedy Il Sons store house and
hardware store, H. C. Dawson's barber
shop, NJ. Higgins saloon, S. Fowle's shoe
store, Gibbons & Bros. dry goods, Barnes
Bros wall paper and paints,
M.F. CIark's Drug,
II. T. Smiths jewelry, Mrs. BarthoIomew's
millinery, Dan Hoggart's marble works.
The entire population turned out and
formed bucket brigades, but their efforts
were futile, for the gale swept the flames
with resistless fury until every frame
structure in its course was in ashes. The
conlsgration Was finally checked by the
Bond block. in which are bank
opera House aud several Offices.
The brick walls of this block proved sue
cessful barrier against the further spread
of the fire, though for time it was feared
the whole town would be destroyed. The
losses will be very heavy. Notwithstand-
ing the citizens, finding it useless to fight
the flames with buckets OF water, turned
their attention to saving the property from
the buildings in danger OF burning, in sew
eral instances
The blaze Lapped Tp the Entire
house so suddenly that nothing was saved.
The aggregate loss by the Wiiloughby
ire is estimated ST two hundred thousand
dollars
