On Monday last, at about O'Clock
p. m. stranger entered the store OF
Waller Brothers, in the Etna block,
and asked to see a Smith d WessOn
double acting revolver. Mr.. Charles
Waller handed him one for inspection
which was examined by the customer
who took from his pocket a smaller
one, which he wanted to trade. MI.
Waller took it for inspection, and for
the purpose of testing the lock, snap

discharge followed, and the bullet
went crashing through lower win

show windows of Lindsay's shoe

During the last severe spell of |
weather the thermometer indicated |
zero, Sunday morning, which was a
trifie colder than the stray blizzard
was able to give US. By the way there |
must be something wrong at the Sig
nal Service headquarters, when such
an extensive and vigorous blizzard as
swept over the whole country last
week can come upon us unannounced
leaving death and destruction in its
path. For the past two months there
hss been very great increase in er-
roneous predictions of the weather for

And now the farmers anxiOusly en-

worry. 1t may be incOnvenient for
some time, as it is now, but there will
lie plenty of water in proper season.

IN his report the Warden of the |
Penitentiary states that the piece price
plan has been failure. The Board of
Managers are said to be of the same
mind. With singular stupidity these
men, Immediately after making the
statement, fly right into the books of
the concern and begin trying to prove,
from the figures of profit and loss that
it is even so. Of course it has not been
q financial success. There has been a
deficit. AS We have time and again
explained, the necessary outlay of
money consequent upon the change
from the odious contract system to the
new plan, has now been about all
made, and the institution continued
on this plan, would at once begin sus
tanning itself. To desert the plan now
would be to throw away the money
invested in new apparatus. Ohio has
taken a stand at the head of the col
umn of States, in the way of reforma-
tory institutions. With her industrial
school for girls, her reform farm for
boys, her new intermediate peniten-
tiary for those young in crime, and
her state prison conducted upon a
plan recommended by the leading
prison reformers of the world-the
piece price plan-she was excelled by
none of her sister States. The two
latter had the mifortune to originate
in Democratic Legislature. The
Republican Legislature of last winter
was at one time about to abolish the
intermediate penitentiary, although
considerable money had already been
expended in its construction. 1t ha:
been our expectation from the first
that the Republicans would abolish
the piece price plan. If they do, they
will set Ohio back fifty years in tn,
march toward prison reform.
The tro.ble with the Warden an,
) the Board of Managers is that the,
expect to reap the good results o
prison reform in dollars and cents OIL
the credit side of the institution ledg
er, and not in the character of tn
men sent back into society at the ex
, ,,iration of the sentences. They d
not stop to consider that it would b
j. better to work little more to reall
reform the convicts, and little less
get all the money out of him possibl
while he is there, for the contractor
and the State, so that when release
