cial. Sparks from a railroad engine
set fire to saloon at Tovares village,
one hundred miles south of here, yes
terday, and the whole building was
quickly in flames A strong west wind
prevailed, and the fire spread very rap
idly, building after building succumb-
ing to the flames. BY noon every bust
ness block but two was in ashes, and
also seven or eight cottages. Among
the buildings burned were the Penin-
sula Hotels, two other new hotels, the
TOvares Bank, the postoffice and the
depot. No fire apparatus was in the
place nor any means to fight the flames,
and the dry buildings burned like so
much kindling wood. Twenty firms
were burned out and the loss will reach
fully $180O00 On account of the in
flammable nature of the buildings the
insurance companies refused to issue
risks, and $4,000 will cover all the in
surance there was.

Death to the SparroWs.

MARION, o., April 11.-[Special.1 +
The members of the Marion and Huber
Gun Club, of this place, fell into line at
an early hour this morning and began
the destruction of sparroWs with shot
guns and Floberts, at premium of
ten cents per dozen. The members
were deployed at different points of the
city at the break of day, when they
began firing on the little pests. 1t was
reminder to old soldiers of picket
skirmishing when the Union and
Confederate armies were feeling
for each other during the war of the
rebellion. The number in actual en-
gagement is about twenty, but a num-
Der of volunteer marksmen are trying
their hand. The number of birds shot
ranges from twenty-five to a hundred
and twenty each, but then sparows are
scarce here.
