A BLAZE AT RoCHEPORr.


Boonville, Nov. Is. Correspondents. J.
Information reached Boonviile yesterday
OF big fire at Rocheport the night previ-
Gus. No particulars are at hard at this
writing, but il is known that Ridgway 4
Dobson's livery stable and the two build
ings adjoining were destroyed, or badly
dsmsged.
Hon. John Cosgrove and ]. L. Rag.
land, esq, were returning from the demo
cratic ratification there and witnessed the
copfagration from this side of the river. 1t
is supposed that the fire originated from
the illumination in honor of Clsveland's
election, and If so, il is doubtless the only
evil result arising from this fact As
Rocheport suffered short time ago from q
big fire, this will fall with unusual severity
upon her citizens.
FINAL SETTLEMENT.
Capt George B. Harper made his final
settlement as county treasurer with the
county court yesterday afternoon. Captain
Harper retires from Office with
the respect OF every citizen with
whom he has had dealings. He has made a
model officer, faithful to the peoples inter
ests, modest and unobtrusive, and careful
in caring for the couptys money. We be
lieye that George Harper is to-day as pop.
ular as any man In Cooper county, and
this is due not only TO his genial manner:

FARMERS METEOROLOGICAL SIGNALS,

The system of storm signals which Presi-
dent Smart, of Purdue University, proposes to
use on the line of the Louisville, New Albany
& Chicago road originated with Professor 7.
G. Mendenhall, of the Ohio University, and
were first operated on the Cleveland & Column
bus road. The signals are six-three red and
three blue, being on each side of the baggage
car of the express train. Two signals are ex-
posed at once on each side. Red shows tenn
perature; blue, condition of sky. A red disc
means increasing temperature; a crescent,
lowering temperature; a star, stationary tenn
perature. A blue disc shows Storm a blue
crescent clear, and blue star light cloudy
weather. The cost is about eight dollars
car. President Smart thinks that the roads
could be fitted out and operated for about $50
each.
Hon. William H. Raglan, Chief of the State
Weather Service, says that with system of
flags to be raised at high points, as on court
houses, letting the farmers know
uHe reports Oh the electromagnetic
Bureau crops might often be
secured against frost OF storm. Such flags are
to be furnished at cost to the counties, so that
the weather may be daily tagged to a great
part of the State. With such a'system, it is
estimated that upwards of $4,000 might have
been saved in the vicinity of Madison, on to-
bacco alone, last fall. To indicate autumnal
frosts and harvest rains would be in itself
great aid Three years of meteorological OBJ
servations have been completed at Purdue.
Regular monthly reports are submitted to the
signal Office at Washington. The records and
reports are made by young men of the junior
class, and involve large amount of pains
taking and accurate labor.

visit of an Episcopal bishop is also expected for
the same purpose. All this is probably idle Cos

CORONER MAXWELL cannot do the public
any greater service nor acquit himself more
creditably Of the duty his oath devolves upon
him, than to see that there is a searching in
vestigation of the awful accident of yesterday,
the fullest details of which are printed in our
local columns. For the dead nothing can be
done, but the living have right to the pro
lection which just punishment of guilty
carelessness or of criminal misconduct will
give them. Not only so, but the future
good name and business of the railway
company interested equally demand this.

character of the bridge, the shiftless work
of the contractors, the negligence of the re-

The truth must be searched out. and, when
arrived at let it be seen whether the law can
punish anybody. if it be found that anybody
is to blame. The blood of mangled victims
from unnumbered railroad disasters cries aloud
from the ground, not for vengeance, but for
justice. Up to the present time no one has
ever been punished to an adequate degree for
the repeated horrors that have occurred-not
