Fire at crofton.

The general merchandise establish
ment of Jas. +. Croft at Crofton, was
destroyed by fire at o'clock Tuesday
evening. The store had been closed
for the night and no one was in it at
the time. The fire was burning on
the interior when discovered and the
doors were broken down, but as the
house was a frame structure it was
quickly destroyed with most of its
contents, in spite of all efforts to save
it. 1t is not known how the fire
originated. Mr.. Croft, the owner, was
absent from the town at the time. We
understand the stock and store were
insured for $4,000, which will cover
all the losses. Mr.. Croft is one
one of thewcalthiest and most prom.
inent citizens of the town and will
probably rebuild in short while.

Who is to Blames

llopkinsvillc has ordinances that
are ignored by many people. There
are ordinances against leaving horses
standing without driver or attend
ant against hitching horses on Main
street; against street-walking ;houses
of prostitution against leaking roof
valleys, and many other things that
are to be noted every day, notwith-
standing the fact that over $1,000 is
paid out annually to our police force,
whose duty it is to see that parties
who persist in violating these ordi-
nances, shall be presented to the
proper authority for prosecution.
Little or nothingis accomplished in
this line. Within few days there
have been a number of runaway
teams in consequence of having been
left without an attendant. Saturday
last mule team left standing in
front of uenderson's grocery, on
Main st., started at a furious rate of
speed out north Main street. AT the
foot of the hill, the team ran through
a drove of fine pigs belonging to Mr..
M. Schmitt, and fortunately killed
but one of them. Mule-like the team
"kept in the middle of the road" and
in due time was halted without dam
age to human life. Had the team
run down South Main street, at that
time great damage might have been
done. as the street was crowded with
people and vehicles. Two of our po-
lice witnessed the affair and failed to
make an arrest. The owner of the
team and the driver not even being
questioned as to the cause of the run
away. Within half hour after the
accident, three teams unattended
could be counted OH Main street
Who is to blame? Let the proper
authorities see that the ordinances
are enforced. p.

of age, and was clever, genial
gentleman and a good doctor, OF
the Allopathic school. lie was twice

five years and by his gcntleman-
ly bearing and social qualities had

were conducted at his residence yes
tcrlay at o'clock p. NJ, by Rev. j
n. Prestridge, and his remains wer,
inferred in the city cemetery.

Cruelty to Animals.

Several of our citizens witnessed
the departure of poor, old, blind,
lame, worn out horse, Wednesday
morning last, from in front of the
post office. The horse was loaded
down with two immense mail bags
and heavy male negro. The poor
animal could hardly walk. The
owper, if he knew the condition of
the animal ought to be prosecuted.
The parties who witnessed the affair
were ofthe opinion that the grand
jury ought to take hold of the matter.
