CArAwBA, Jan. 1S.-The snow and ice
have made our roads impossible in quite a
number of places. Last week there was a
flour famine in the neighbOrhOOd for several
days, couldn't even get corn meal. We
think that II the law does not make some
provision for the opening of the roads on
such occasions it should do it. No end Of
trouble Is caused by the blockade. /. Sunday
last J. N. Runyan's son, Ed, fell upon the
ice. He was found in a, dazed condition.
and did not become wholly rational for
two or three hours. At last ae-
counts he was improving. -
Nathan Neer is upon the sick list, also John
Darding, Sam. Stroup and Elijah Leach's
son.. Aunt Nancy Coffey has been unfor-
tunate enough to receive several very hard
falls within the past week or two. Just
now she carries some very black marks 50
received. :. There is to be another grand
ball at PearsOn's Opera House, Tuesday
nigm, January 26th. The Clymer boys
lost . fine colt from disease last week.
Another one is quite sick. =. g. /.
1t is reported that John Moler, former
resident of this place, but lately Of Kansas,
has sold his farm in that state, making
quite good sale. John Jones, ST., is our
champion in his line. He challenges the
world. and wagers that he can eat one and
one-half bushels Of meal in three days.
We believe he can do It, il living man can.
Mrs. Mary Hunter, of Mechanics
burg. Is still on the sick list
She does not improve very rapidly . /. !.
As far as we have heard. Luther Neer is
the champion pork raiser in our township.
Last year he was ahead, his bunch of hogs
averaging 420 pounds. This year, after
feeding them ia days, he sold them, each
weighing 466 is pounds. There were "a
Of them, all fine, smooth and good stock.
Who, who. we say, can beat shis?. Last
Friday was the fortieth birthday of Mrs
Margaret Coffey, and about forty Of her
friends and relatives thought it an oppor-
tune time to visit her, so, with we'll
filled baskets they dropped in upon her
She did not expect them. The dinner
was very toothsonle and enjoyable, and the
time pleasantly spent all wishing her
many happy returns of her birthday. :.
Quarterly meeting will be held at the NJ. P.
church In two weeks. The services will be
protracted. The meeting at the NJ. E.
church still continues, The very inclement
weather has interfered greatly. but it Is
likely now that it will continue for week
or two at least. Services Sunday night
were attended by a very large audience.

THE GYM.

A Correct ststenent a It's Financial Coo.
dition-Not So had aa Supposed.
When the Gymnasium. or rather the
Springfield Athletic Association. first started
out . mistake was made by the projectors,
the fruits Of which the Organization is now
reaping. In their desire to make it COM
munity Institution of general interest their
only care was for quantity rather than quail
.ity in the membership, and gathered to-
gether Heterogeneous crowd of $50 men.
In an organization of this sort
where the social element Is FREEDOM
inant 1t Is absolutely necessary to the sue
sess Of the institution that the members
should be congenial. Such was not the
case In the Gym. and on the roll were many
members who abused their privilege by
coming into the place intoxicated and dis
gushing the more respectable members by
their boisterous conduct and rowdy bearing.
Naturally, on this account, many business
men lost their interest in the association,
and the attempts to Dust the dis
reputable faction caused Ill feeling.
As many as hundred substantial men left
the institution without ever resigning, and
have refused to Ry up back dues As the
association was not incorporated, these is
no legal way Of collecting these back dues,
Of which there are about $3.50 outstanding.
Counting these dues IS reliable assets, the
directors neither cut down expenses nor
tried . different plan of raising money.
Thus the gymnasium. which started out
with such ma@incent prospect of success,
has gradually waned until at the last meet
ing. when only about twenty members
could be drummed together, they were
almost unanimously in favor of appointing
committee Of three 10 close out the prop
erty and clear of the Indebtedness. This
was strenuously opposed BY one member,
and adjournment was made until Wednes-
day evening. January 81, when final action
In regard to this will be taken. As all
members in good standing have a pecuniary
interest In the property Of the concern.
they should be there to protect it.
There Is an impression abroad that the
Association is bankrupt, which is a mis-
take. For last years rent they owed $500,
Of which only 500 was paid. Since J. W.
Bookwalter's return he has agreed to throw
of 500 Of this, making the amount due for
rent $500. There are various bills amount
ing TO ss5 outstanding against the associa-
tiea, making q total indebtedness of S475.
The property Of the association is worth
about 500 at forced sale, TINS leaving a
margin of about $325. A scheme is on foo,
to start the Gym. up again on better basis,
and for this purpose a meeting has been
called at 7:sO O'Clock next Friday evening,
ut which it is to be hoped that everyone
who has the interest of the institution al
heart will be present.

Clio Tonight

The much advertised and long-looked for
event-Bartiey Campbelrs Clio-will open
tonight The Cincinnati Enquirer of last
Monday says of its second week in that
city:
''Mr. Campbell has shown in Clio. which
has drawn large audiences all week. that he
can blend a powerful drama with spectacu-
lar effects without injury to the story.
There is a classical ring in the dia-
logue which delights the lovers
of Shakespeare and Sheridan Knowles.
Marks Of approval have greeted the close
of each Of the five acts, and the startingly
realistic earthquake scene at the end of the
fourth act calls forth nightly whirlwind Of
applause. The ballet is the finest ever seen
here for years, and the handsome premiere,
Mile Cornalba, has caugt the town with her
superb dancing. and is a iustrous star in the
fourth act The classical groupings are
successfully rendered, and make pretty
picture
Springfield people should all see Clio.

TERRIBLY ScAlOEO.
A Child Upsets = Kettle Of Boiling Water
Upon Himself

A Child Upsets . Kettle Of Boiling Water
Upon Himself
An exceedingly painful accident occurred
about O'Clock this morning to child about
two years old, son of Tobias Brown, col
ored man residing about five miles east of
town ON the old Woods farm. on the South
Charleston pike. A kettle of boiling water
had been lifted from the stove to
chair, and while the mother was
giving her attention to some other
duty In the kitchen the child approached
the chair and upset the boiling water upon
himself. It struck the left thigh on the
inner side, just below the groin. and liter
ally cooked the flesh to point below the
knee. The skin all peeled of, leaving the
limb sickening spectacle. Everything
that could be thought of was done, while a
messenger was at once dispatched to town
for physician DIR. Dillahunt attended.
and though he did everything possible to
alleviate the intense suffering of the child.
lis feared that the accident may prove
fatal.

TROY.

Troy, Jan. 30.-Shaw, the burglar
br0ugh here from Springfield for the rob
berry Of Mrs. Ross, Is not such stranger
after all, now that people see him. His
real name is William Murray, and formerly
lived at Piqua, and because of burglary
there was for some time confined in the
jail here. He has plead guilty. Z. =.
Me thinks the Troy Daily News is either
tOuchingly verdent or else labOrs under the
delusion that TrOjans are either fools or
horribly innocent of the knowledge of what
insult is. In last nights issue 1t begins by
mentioning the delightful bit of news
that IL is fast becoming a favorite
(By the way, that Is the freshest
bit Of news it has contained in all its fifteen
numbers.) Further on, and what gives rise
to this. the News gives this item: There
will be grand masquerade ball at the
Mules Ear on next Thursday evening
Admission free" Now, my readers. the
Mules Ear" is the most disreputable hole in
Troy. and that an item like the above should
be intruded upon respectable peoples notice
il to me simply outrageous. How long does
the News expect to be ''favaroite'' il it
advertises brOthels? Pray, does 1t think
our fathers will subscribe for a paper that
brings such a hell-hole to the notice of their
sons and daughters? Am too inIuisitive
when l ask il the News expects
our young people to attend said masquer-
sde? My attention has been called to this
matter. and hereby enter most solemn
protest. A glance at the News cOnvinces
one that 1t is fast becoming q tool of Ger
tain class Of local smartiss whom our weekly
papers refused to countenance We advise
it to heartily reform.
