he expects 10 ineto the natives to join

he talked about hearing from Riel,
whose spirit, he says, is directing all his
movements. He was pronounced luna

on ell other subjects left the opinion that
he is simply virulent type of crank
However, the serious rumors which have

IHE ERE FIEND
Gets In Its Work at New Athens,
Ohio.

New ATHENS, O., January l5.-About
half past four o'clock yesterday morning,
the Era House, frame building about
4Ox6O feet, and three stories high, stand
ing on the corner of Main and College
streets, took fire. The fire originated on
the first floor, in the northwest corner Of
the building, and had gained such head
way when found that all attempts to extin.
guish it failed, and the building with all
its contents was reduced to ashes. The
house was built several years ago, at q
cost of eight thousand dollars, and was In
tended for hotel, but OF late years has
been occupied by tenants, business rooms,
&c. The north room on the first floor was
occupied by Estep u Common drug
store. Their loss will reach nearly two
thousand dollars; no insurance. In the
second room was Vim. McCalls butcher
shop. Mr. Mccall lost everything including
his books. In the third room Il, G, Days
furniture store, lost $3.50, no insurance.
The second floor was occupied by Mrs,
McGrew, q widow lady, who lives alone,
and VIM. Starkey, lsborer, his wife and
four children. Mrs. McGrew saved moth
ing except the bed in which she was sleep
ing and her night clothes. Mr. Stsrkey
Jared still worse, he and his family escsp
ing half dressed. The building was owned
by Mr. John Dunlap, and was insured for
$500. This, should he get it all, will not
replace the loss. Shortly after the Era
House began to burn Mr.. j. w. Collland's
large brick dwelling, just west caught fire
from it and ali efforts to ex,inguish the
flames failed, and nov only the
walls and frat floor are standing.
All Of his household goods were
saved. Insurance on the building 81, 500
The dwelling of DR.. Burgess on the north
and VIM. Caunons Of the north east both
caught fire but were extipguished before
any serious damage WAS done. The store
house and dwelling Of Stanton McFsdden,
on the opposite side Of the atrcet, were
badly damaged. Had the wind been blow
ing there would have been but 9 small por
ton of New Athens left. There are many
opinions as TO the starting OF the fire, but
the most plausible one seem to be that fire
fell from crate, burned through the floor
and then soon made its way to the oil in
the drug store.
