IT happened that the late Clerk Of the
Circuit Courtso OF Ohio county ives Repub-
liau. His place was filled with the under.
Standing that II he returns in reasonable
time and can satisfactorily account for his
absence be is TO take bact his Office. Un-
der these circumstances 1t might have oc-
cured to the judges to appoint a Repub:
lican. They chose Democrat. Both the
Judges are Democrats, tu whose election
Republicans largely contributed. The ap-
pOintee is a candidate for election to the
office and intends to go before the Demo-
cratic convention asking the nomination.
luthis light the indelicacy Of the appoint-
neut is very apparent. Possession will be
olgteat service TO the new clerk in his cam.
pagn. This is the effect, whatever may
have been the motive. II is possible to
imagine further effect Of deep personal
interest to the judges in case they desire to
remain Judges. At this time the public
dspleasure is marked, and it is founded on
reason.

MASONIC TsurLg, ,DAmAGED.
The Magnificent Asylum OF New York
Mnsons Burned-A Big Loss.

BQS0un Bufnfu-A DIE Afobss
NRw YORK, December 1.-About half
past eight o'clock this morning the roof Of
the Masonic Temple, Twenty.third street
and Sixth avenue, was discovered to be on
fire, and before the engines reached the
spot great volume Of smoke belched
from the windows in-the asylum Of the
knights Templar in the mansard story,
iust below the roof and dome. A large
force OF police kept the crowd back from
the firemen. Patrick Lynch, Samuel War
rem and James McManus, OF tho foremost
firemen in the mansard story, were struck
TO the floor by heavy plasteripg falling
from the ceiling and were overcome by the
heat and smoke. They were rescued by
their comrades, removed 10 q hospital, re-
stored to consciousness and sent home.
Captain Williams was stunned and slight
ly Injured. II thought the loss will not
iall short Of 100000, as costly frescoing
and other decorations were destroyed. In
the commsndary room the "Order Of the
Mystic Shrine" largely, composed Of Ma
sons, met last night and remained until O
late hour, and 1t Ia supposed that cigar or
match dropped on the carpet had caused
the FIRE.
The commandery room was expsnsively
fitted up and in adjoining closets were
many costly equipments and uniforms OF
Inc Sir Knights. The "Ausdn Room"
named in honor Of the deceased Grand
Secretary, was recently fitted up at an ex.
pense oi $4,000, and the beautiful pic
tures, which the order had been go long
accumulating, were very much injured Il
NOT ruined. The total loss on the building
Is 5000. The roof wss destroyed, and
the rest Of the building damsged wholly by
water. The insurance on the temple Is
5000 900, distributed among eight compa.
niles, the policies being for unusually large
amounts, as the risk was thought TO be one
Of the safest In the city. The Masonic
temple was FIVE years in building. The
cornerstone was laid in 1870. The build
| ing was dedicated June 2, 1875. Il cost
million and q hall, exclusive Of the value
Of the ground, another half million. The
FIRE was first discovered by q scrub woman
who came to clean the hall.
