she told her friends and relatives but
a few days before she died that she
would watch and wait for their COM
ing on the better shore. The SYM

FIRE /! FIRE -!

Again the cry of fire is heard in
our little village this time arousing
some of our citizens from their quiet
slumbers about lO:3O o'clock Satur-
day evening. The house of X. f..
Carroll is supposed to have caught
fire from a defective chimney while
both Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll were
away from home. The parties who
first saw the fire succeeded in saving
what household goods were down
stairs but were unable to get up
stairs on account of the heat, conse-
quently everything upstairs was de-
molished in the flames along with
the building. Mr.. Carroll was over
on his farm in Lynn and Mrs. Car
roll was visiting Mrs. Ramshaw and
hadn't been away from the house
over ten minutes. The building and
contents were insured for 5000; loss
about $500.
This morning about o'clock, just
as we were going to press FL. b.
Coughs dwelling house was discov-
cred to be on fire but by some good
work by our citizens it was soon un-
der control. The fire originated
around the chimney and would have
certainly consumed the said house
together with the skating rink and
other buildings near by had it not
been for some good work done by
few of our citizens who deserve
much credit for their quick work. 1t
is now evident that we need some
fire protection for we know not what
minute fire may originate and with
out any means of extinguishing, con-
siderable property might be de-
stroyed.
Fire destroyed Mr.. Merritt's
smoke house together with 100 pounds
OF bologna sausage on Wednesday
afternoon. AS good luck would have |
it nothing else was damaged.
The house and contents belonging
to Mrs. Ed. McFarlane living near
Schram's school house was burned to |
the ground on Sunday afternoon last. !
Mrs. McFarlane is poor woman and !
4 subscription was taken mp for her |
relief. Nothing 1T all was saved. No |
insurance.
John May and family in the town
Of Fremont were burned out ON Fri |
day morning last about O'Clock. The
of the house did not discover /
the fire until it burned through the
ceiling and narrowly escaped with |
their lives only saving few of their
clothes.- They wrapped blankets
around themselves and ran to their
nearest neighbors in their bare feet |
and froZe them badly. They are in
condition as nothing was IN
sured.

'ange that the receipts of corn here are

Provisions were quiet but feeling steadier.
Pork opened 21sc higher at Sl2.50 May, sold
up to sl2.60 and down to STAT, closing at
sl2.521&. Lard was quiet with little change
from yesterday's sales. The close was sc
better for February at s6.S71S and 21Ic bet
ter for May at s7.l5. Ribs were quiet and
shade higher.
The daily Commercial Bulletin reviewing
the provision market for the week says The
week has developed a fair volume of specu-
iative trading for future delivery, but the
movement has been of spasmodic charac-
ter, and the course of values erratic
at lower average of quotations on
nearly all descriptions of product
handled by speculative represent atives of
trade. There has been a liberal export move
ment in most lines of stock suited to foreign
markets, but liberal percentage of such
shipments were in the way of consign ments
by Chicsgo houses to their European distri-
buting agencies, direct export purchases
being on moderate scale, and in most in
stances confined to special cuts that are
made by houses deyoting themselves to fan
cies. The demand from shippers of domestic
markets, and especially in the south and
southeast, has been liberal and some heavy
transactions were reported for cash ana
early delivery. Pork for future delivery was
moderately active in the way of speculative
trading, and prices irregular. Although the
range Of fluctuations was narrower
than for the week preceding, neither
the hihgest or lowest figures of the latter were
reached, and the closing figures were about
15920c under the outside figures. Values
at times being noticeably Influenced by the
course of the wheat market, which at times
stimulated and again lessened the volume of
business, as well as prices of all other specu-
lative commodities. The closing price this
evening was 20@221Sc per barrel under
those of the preceding week. The move.
ment of lard has been moderate on both
shipping and speculative account. The
offerings were fair but not especially urgent,
and fluctuations in value restricted to the
range of 15920c per 100 pounds, although
during the greater portion of
the week the changes were covered
by 10@1215c. Receipts moderate and ship
ments only fair. A considerable portion of
the outward movement was said to have
been consigned by Chicago packers to their
foreign houses. The closing quotations
to-day recorded decline Of 1O@121Ic under
a week ago.
AT the stock yards business was quiet, on
account of the light supply of stock owing to
the non-arrival of the usual and regular stock
trains. The few cattle sold made about the
same prices as yesterday, and few loads of
fancy heavy hogs sold at an advance of 5@
Toe, touching S4.75@4.s0, but there was
little or no change in ordinary run of pack
ing sorts. Receipts of cattle for the week,
about $4,000, aud of hogs 20S, 600. A light
run all around is expected next week.

New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE stock market
opened ]495S lower with quite active trad
ing early and fairly steady feeling under the
circumstances. At first the bears
rallied aud knocked the market
off a little, but under lead Of
the Northwestern, which was the strongest
stock on the list, the figures soon crept up
again. Union Pacific was attacked early and
sold down to 4sl4. St. Paul touched 734,
but Northwestern kept fuctuating between
$50 and SO, and was more inclined to 90 up
than down. Western Union was quite steady
and had the appearance Of being supported
by Gould. Canadian Pacific again showed
weakness, and lost 4 point in two quotations.
The Vanderbilts kept along with the rest of
the list without exhibiting any peculiar or
marked characteristics. Louisville IL Nash
willie was quite active and weak. Lacka-
wanna showed but little strength, aud sold
of early to S64. Business was confined to
the operations Of the boardroom traders, as
nearly all the outside world was
without communication with the
excbage on account of the general prostratiou
Of the wires. Canadian Pacific was slaugh-
tered. There appeared TO be a peremptory
order to sell an amount Of it and it touched

offered. Some investment holdings OF Nor
ris and Essex found a market at a decline of
? per cent The bank statement shows that
money continues to accumulate. The de-
posits increased 81, 800, 900, and the reserve
80, 300 600. There was considerable snima-

More of the Grant & Ward Trouble.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Referee Onley, APP
pointed to pass upon the advisabiIity of a
compromise with reference TO certain set off
claims between Julian +. Davies, as receiver
of the firm of Grant & Ward, and John T.
TIE Try. as assignee of Commodore Garrison,
filed report To-Day. Assignee Terry bad in
hrs possession two not Is for $25, 600 each,
made by FIR ederck d. Grant, one Of which
was endorsed by Grant * Ward aud Commo-
dore Garrison, and the other by James ID. Fish
and Garrison. When they became due pay
ment was refused because Of the failure of
Grant IL Ward, and Garrison was compelled
TO take them up. Last April he borrowed
0,D00 from Grant & Ward and gave as
security 250 first mortgage bonds Of the
Wheeling q Erie railroad Of 81, 200 each.
When Davies was appointed receiver Of the
firm of Grant & Ward he found
among their assets the two notes
above mentioned and but three of
the mortgage bonds, the remainder having
been rehypOthecated. subsequently, he re-
covered the other bonds. When the note for
5000. 600 became due Assignee Terry refused
to pay it. but offered to compromise with Re
ceiver Davis. They finally agreed the notes
Of Frederick D. Grant should be considered
as worth s45, 900, and that Assignee Terry
could secure possession OF the mortgage
bonds by paving for the 5000, 600 note, less
s45. 900, making Sl55.0O0. The referee,
Olney, reports this is a favorable agreement,
and he recommends the court to sanction It.
