FIRE ATLEWIS' Mills.

The Storeroom and warehouse occupied
by A. c. Landers, at Lewis Mills, and
their contents were entirely destroyed by
fire about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning.
At two different times during the night
Mr.. L., whose residence was about fifty
feet from the store, heard noises indica-
tive of the presence of some one about
the premises, but did not go into the
store to make an investigation. Later he
heard an explosion, which proved to be
that of a small quantity of gunpowder
in the store, but thinking it some one try
ing to force an entrance, he arose from
bed and discovered the building on fire. A
hasty examination showed that burglars
had entered the warehouse through a
window by prying off the iron bar
which served as a fastening, and escaped
by the same opening, leaving the front
and rear doors barred as they found them.
The robbers in their flight dropped few
small articles, which were found near the
fence back Of the store, such as match
safe, box OF spool SILK, COMBS, knives, etc.
The building was frame one, and was
soon reduced to ashes, nothing of conSe-
quence being saved. 1t was owned by
Alonzo Gayhart, who now resides at
Washington, Pa. and it is probably COW
cred by insurance. The stock of mer-
chandiSe of Mr.. Landers was insured for
$780, 1t is supposed that the burglars
came out from Bellaire and left on a
freight train which had been on the
siding.

which he talked of the manners and Gus

exercises were interspersed with music

ABOUT TOWN GOVERNMENT.

The Corporation Clerk furnishes the
public some figures, through the medium
of hisorgan, and with much complacency
concludes that they vindieate our town
government WereSpectfully submit that
they do no such thing but. on the con-
trary, establish its improvidence. The
Gazette says:
Taking the last complete year. which ended on
the first Monday OF March. lSSs. the total eNpendi-
lures OF the town were S65iS - being about Sl:Oo!
above the average for several years, on account OF
extraordinary expenditures, as hereinafter sci
forth OF this sum. 80 was Tor railroad bonds
and coupons due September /. lsSs; Sl-2lS % on
contract for street lighting. being partly for the
previous year: the police expenditure was sol, be-
ing increased some $40 on account OF special po-
lice in April of that year. at the time OF the cyclone;
$50 % from general fund, including 500 appro-
pTiated for the fair grounds and over 500 for old
bills: on the roads and streets the expenditures
were S53 % over 500 OF which was IOr repairs 10
the pixies leading 10 the depots
1t will be seen S3,410 was paid on ac-
count of principal and interest of bonds
and S1,21S 50 on account of street light
ing, leaving balance of 81, ,9l5 Il, which
which was expended for-what? Read
the Clerks exhibit again: S501 for police,
$3.50 81 from the general fund, and 1858
20 for the streets. Admit that the police
expenditure was justifable, if you will;
why should the general fund expenditures
be $3.50? and where are 1868 worth of i'm
provemehts visible on the streets? To-
gether these expenditures general fund
and street. aggregate ST. ,414 II. What is
there to show for it? Will the able Clerk
please point it out? 1t would seem that
the general fund expenditures ought to
be reduced 80 per cent, and that 1868
ought to make visible improvement
somewhere on the streets.
Now, we respectfully submit that this
authoritative statement establishes what
has been stated in these columns, namely:
That in ten years last past the people of
ST. Clairsville have paid moneys for which
they have received no adequate return
sufficient to pave large part of Main
street.
No one except the able Clerk disputes
the proposition that it is desirable to i'm
prove and beautify the town. Is it not
possible to do it, without burdening the
people with taxation? 1t would seem so.
