The q. A: X. Executive Committee held
called meeting at the hall on Limestone street
last evening. A resolution was adopted re-
questing the use of the telephone poles from
the company to conduct the electric light
wires to the fair grounds. This was done be-
cause the Telephone Company refused to
grant this to the Electric Light Company but
said that the G.. A. K. could obtain the per-
mission for the asking. As Governor
Hoadly and staff have sigulbed
their intention OF of,atteuding, the committee on
Hotels was instructed to procure suitable
quarters for the distinguished guests. T. NJ.
Gugenheim was appointed chairman with
directions to appoint the other members OF
a committee to assist a similar committee ap-
pointed by the Womans Relief Corps to pro-
cure quarters for the visiting ladies, about
400 OF whom are expected to be present. The
tent question was again brought, and after
long discussion resolution was adopted re-
questing Col. White to fix the date OF the 7th
Regiment encampment at such date that
the G. A. K. might have the use of the
Seventh Regiment tents Tor August and /.
The committee did this very reluctantly, for
they had hoped to have the Seventh en-

have it appear in the parade; but it's a case
| Of necessity and every tent that can be got
ten must be taken. A letter was received
this morning from Colonel Hetrick, of Van
Vert, offering the committee the Second Regi-
ment tents, so in number. II Capt. S!ntz sue
ceeds today in obtaining the tents OF the
Third regiment, it will swell the number al
ready secured to almost 800. New informa-
ton, coming in each day, continues to give
further indications Of as large a crowd as the
city can possibly hold. Corporal Tanner, of
| Brooklyn, the most famous campfire orator
OF the country, has signifed through Com
mander Brown, of Zanesville. his intention
of being present to give the boys a
good old fashioned stirring up.
The fireworks committee fear that
they will have to give it up for lack of funds
This is "sltogether too bad, for it was the
intention to give the display in the field
southwest OF the fair grounds, where every
one could see it, and make it a very grand
affair. II everyone would give mite OF any
where between ten cents and a dollar it coult
be given in splendid style.
The finance committee are progressing very
favorably in their soliciting. D. W. Stroud
has called a meeting OF the general finance
committee, including all the subcommittee
to report progress at the Mayors office to-
morrow (Friday) evening at eight O'Clock

The Ssils-Kelley Affair.

This morning Squire Ston, issued peace
warrant for Frank Kelley, sr and Frank
Kelley, jr., on complaint OF Charles Sells, who
made affidavit that they bad threatened bis
lite. Elmrs Kelley, who filed the affidavit
against Sells in Mayors court the other day,
is the mother OF Frank Kelley. Some rich
developments may be expected in this case
when it comes up, but as yet nothing can be
learned about 1t but rumors which are not
safe to publish. Sells was seen by reporter
this morning, but refused to say anything
further about the matter than to allege that
it was a blackmsiling scheme on the part of
the Kelleys; that they had already compelled
him to skip town once for FIVE months and
that he intended to fight the case this time
if they tried to do anything. He was not
given five days in jail, as reported in yester-
days papers, for carrying concealed weapons.

The Wagner scandal.

Rev. A. +. Wagner, J. H. Ulrich and j. L.
zimmerman returned yesterday afternoon
from Wspakoneta, where they went the day
before to demand an investigation and de-
tcrmine upon wha, plan of action to pursue
in clearing up the cloud of scandal that now
glowers over the ministers head. The men,
bers OF his former congregation received Mr..
Wagner very kindly, and all seemed inclined
to give him fair chance and suspend their
Judgment in the matter until the courts prove
him either innocent or guilty. No steps will
be taken at present, at least, against the En-
quirer or against those who originated the re-
port but Wagner will remain on the deien-
sive, as he has little doubt that the other
party will bring suit for bastardy within a
day or two. II he succeeds in clearing him
self from this charge it will be time to bring
action against the paper, if such action is
considered wise. All the developments in
the case will thus be brought before the courts
Of Auglaize county.

Incendiary Fire at Liliv Chapel.

A saloon and contents belonging to David
gommeans, in Lilly Chapel, east Of here, on
tue |. b. l. W. railroad, were burned last
night No insurance. Incendiary Com
means had his saloon and residence burned
to the ground in April, his family barely
escaping with their lives. He has been made
poor man, having all he possessed destroyed.
This is the village that has been waging war
against a saloon being operated in the place.
Whisky had never been sold there until Com
means opened this spring. He claims his
property WAS set on fire by persons in that
locality, and says he will stay with them, il
he lives. Excitement runs high, and it is
feared this Difficult y will terminate with bad
results. People OF this place pity CON-
means as the methods TO prosecute him have
been carried so far. An anti.liquor society
has been formed in the place, and they claim
no man shall run saloon in their commuui-
ty, and trouble is anticipated, as Commesns
is man oi pluck and bravery.

Mr.. Peter Slack, the veteran wool buyer
and shipper, told GLoBE-REpUBLIC reporter
this morning that, with exception OF very
few bunches the wool crop in Clark county
for this year had been bought and shipped
East already, buyers protiripg by last years
experience, when they lost money by holding
back too long for better prices, and taking
advantage Of an apparent revival in trade
East, which makes the wool market a little
frmer. He estimates that the wool clip in
the &C unity reached 900 pounds which is
about an average. His firm has bought and
shipped the most of 100000 pounds, Mr.
Clark about 80 900 pounds, L. H. Houston,
South Charleston, about zoe, 900 pounds
partly bought in other counties. Prices have
ranged from % to 81 cents per pound, accord
ing to quality, but small portion of the en-
tire crop bringing over 2G cents. Their read
mess to sell indicate that the farmers haven't
any more ready money than they know
what TO do with.
