 A cottage house, one of number be- longing to R. s. Hicks, and standing west of Fisk ave, caught fire about 1.3O p. m. on Sunday, and was injured to the extent of about $500. The fire took in an nn- used closet from some unknown cause. The occupant was w. J. Williams, black smith, most of whose furniture was got ont, but in hurried and damaging fash ion, Loss on house covered by insurance no insurance on furniture. The steamer did fine work, although the fire was of the worst possible kind. the second floor of the cottage being ceiled upon the rafters, and the fire having worked pretty general ly throughout, within ceilings and parti- tions. Water was forced through l, 100 feet of hose, and mp an elevation of 75 feet or more. The weather was favorable, otherwise the other cottages standing very near the burned one would have been con- siderably endangered.
 Patrick McCarty and Michael Connor, two desperadoes from Hhompsonville, were arrested in this village on Sunday by Officers Mullin and Helm. On Friday night last they assaulted a carpenter named Oscar Schnider, beginning with demand for money. Schnider got away, and they pursued him into two or more stores, as- saulting all who took his part, splitting with missile the thumb of one of these, and firing stones through the windows af- fer getting outside. They then escaped, and on Sunday were tracked to this vil- lage by two officers, who remained out of sight after giving Officer Mullin descrip- ton of the men wanted. The officer soon spotted the men, and as they went to the spring to slake their thirst he passed on to the Springs House, and pointing out the men received the assurance from the Thompsonville officers that these were the men wanted. Sending a messenger to Of fcer Helm, Mullin kept his men in sight until joined by Helm, when the two were arrested. They made no resistance at first, but soon grew belligerent, and until the time of handcufing and leaving resisted every attempt at restraint, and used all ef- forts to break away. They are bad men, and their proper place is among their kind, securely restrained. One of them gave Officer Helm the comforting assurance that he would see him later.
