ADMINISTRATION is credited with any deficiencies

o, this system We nnd that the annual average

500. 600 / less than the annual average cN-
pauditurc OF the Democratic administrations al

General Charles p. Stone the Engiueerln-Chef OF
the Barthodi Pedestal is recorded as highly indig
nant at the charges Of extrayagant management
which have been circulated against him. In such n
work as that upon which he is engaged there Is
certainly much room for complaints inspired by
unworthy motives. and vet it is true that more
money has been required than the public were led
to anticipate, and that no detailed statement OF
receipts and expenditures has yet appeared. Per-
haps such a statement would make the reasons for
all this additional cost clear.

Two Hats for a Cent.

Two of the largest stores in New
York have been having an expensive
fight on the subject of cheap hats Inc
price steadily dwindled until one OF the
houses was selling hats at cent a piece
while the other had reduced theirs to
two for cent. They had cost the tlrm
four dollars a dozen. 1t was rule that
no single customer could purchase more ore
than a single cents worth OF hats but
some sharp shop-girlS got onto the
racket and sent their sisters, cousins
and aunts in to buy while the markeC
was down. As result they laid IN
quite a stock, which they are now se!IIng
to other girls at handsome proht TO
themselves. -
f}f 0f course the the two for cent hats
broke up the competition in short order,
and that alluring price did not remalp
long in vogue.-N J. HeraIa'

LI6OSDa kOThS.

About 1880 Monday evening, several per-
sons were heard to cry .hrs, fire, and in less
time than is required to write these lines, our
citizens were running in all directions, and
cen,ered tor bright light, which proved to
be n. G. Kershner's stable. In a few mo-
ments, nearly every man and boy in the
town, who were not at Cincinnati were on
hand, ready to fight the destroyer, and it was
well they came. There was work tor all to
do to save the surrounding buildings-and
only by a united and heroic effort was il ac-
complished. The FIRE alarm was turned in
soon as possible, aud in = short time the hook
and ladders, e1,inguisher and three hose
reels were on hand, and did all
possible TO save the surrounding buildings.
When they reached the ground the stable was
beyond saving, and Frank Reeds barn, JUS,
over the fence, hal caught and quickly
burned in spite of the united efforts OF all
this being a much larger building, made a
very quick hot fire, and the wind carried
burning shingles and cinders in all directions
| endangering Frank Reeds, n. G. Kershner'
and J. G. Lsybourn's residences, and Lay
bourn's stable and wood house. Fire re.
peatedly lit on these buildings, and had it no,
been that men were stationed oil
over them with buckets of water
and kept the roots soaked, thew
all must have gone; Kershner's horse and
buggy were saved by great exertion, but his
| harness, hay and other things persisted
Frank Reed also saved his horse and buggy
but everything else went. His loss 10 severe
for him, perhaps $4O0, with no insurance. A
great number came from the city, and many
done good service. The FIRE department were
held several minutes by . n sight train at the
l., b. W. crossing, or they might have
saved Reeds barn. 1t is an outrage that
trains are allowed to thus hinder travel, as il
occurs every day. The sincere and heart
felt thanks OF +. n. Reed, N. G. Kershnsr nd
Laybourn spd Sons, are hereby expressed for
the timely and heroic efforts of the many
to save their property. Many exposed them.

Fails,

Billy Grove, of the Yellow Springs House,
Fails.
The many friends of Billy Grove, the genial
proprietor OF the Yellow Springs house, will
be sorry to learn that his business enterprise
failed to pan out according to his hopes
Yesterday afternoon he filed deed of assign
ment In the probate court OF Greene county
transferring all his property to Chase
Stewart, of this city. as assignee. The
property is all personal and will prob
ably aggregate about $4,000. As yet it is
impossible to tell just what the liabilities are,
but the assignee said this morning that he
thought the creditors would receive about IS
cent? on the dollar. The assets are the furni-
ture and fixtures OF the hotel The credl tors
are grocerymen and furniture dealers here
and in Yellow Springs.
Mr.. Grove kepts good house and treated
bis guests in most satisfactory manner. The
patronage of the hotel was az
good as could be desired,
but the embarrassment seems to be from the
| tact that he went in on almost nothing and
could not pull out in one summer. As can
| well be imagined the house will DO no more
than pay expenses during the winter, and
had he borrowed the money to tide over the
| present it would only have caused another
| crisis in the future.
