We Lose the SOldieS'
Home.

We are to lose the Soldiers Home.
1t was recently settled that this insti-
tuition was to be located on the old
Kentucky Military Institute grounds,
near this city. A committee, composed
of Messrs. st. John Boyle, Andrew
Cowan and Louis Buckner, came here
a short time ago and obtained an OPP
tion upon the X. NJ. l. property from
Messsrs. Crutcher & Starks for Sl5,-
600, possession to be given next Janu-
airy. Now it transpires that when
Messrs Crutcher & Starks leased the
property to Col. d. F. Boyd, for five
years, two years ago, he Boyd was
given an option Of S17,500 on the
property, the same option to be good
until the expiration of the lease.
Col. Boyd has been running militia
ry school on the property, but it was
not thought that he expected to buy
it, and he was not consulted about
the recent sale. Last week he came
forward with the notification that he
proposed to close his option for the
purchase Of the property, and COM
pany was organized for the purpose,
as will be seen by articles of incorpo-
ration published in another column.
They completed the purchase on
Tuesday and the Home will go else
where.

Finding BlOdgett.

BY George w. Hamilton. 12mo,
S1.OO. Boston: ID. Lothrope Compa-
ny. In this capital story of manly
boy blessed with honesty, determine
ton and pluck, Mr.. Hamilton has
also added another to the list ofnoble
dogs. "Prince" is hero, and no boy
or girl who reads the story of this
clever and faithful collie can help
paying him the tribute of sincere and
enthusiastic admiration. The story
is one of twenty-five years ago in the
sheep counties of Pennsylvania 1t is
full of interesting description, has
some glimpses Of the country in war
time, but is especially notable for it's
simple straightforward telling of a
fight against the heavy odds of pow
erty and trouble, and how a clean
hearted and pure minded boy worked
his way past all obstacles, and in the
end "found Blodgett."

The Builder Dead.

Mr.. John Haly, the well-known
contractor and builder, breathed his
last at his home in this city, Monday
evening, about 8 o'clock, after an i'll
ness of only two days, aged Ga years.
He was born in County Cork, Ireland,
emigrated to this country at an early
age and settled in New York State.
He afterwards removed to Cincinnati
to reside, and from that city came
here in 1852, having obtained the
contract to erect the north wing Of
the Capital Hotel. He at once took
rank as a frst-class workman, and
was awarded contracts all ever the
State, and many of our most sub
stantial structures were erected un-
der his supervision, notably: the
Farmers Bank, the east wing of the
Capitol, the City Hall and numerous
private residences. He also made
business of buying old build
ings, remodeling and undermining
them, and was always ready to lend
helping hand in every public enter
prise. He established the first steam
saw-mill in this city, upon the ground
now occupied by the mill Of Mr.. J. NJ.
Wakefield; bought the old hotel,
known as the Mansion House, and
changed it into business block, and
for years was one of the most useful
citizens Of Frankfort, giving constant
employment to a large force of
mechanics and laborers. 1t is said of
him that he could come nearer telling
a man to a cent what a building
would cost, before the ground was
broken for the foundation, than any
contractor our city has ever had.
Of late years financial reverses
have prevented him from engaging
largely in businesses, and Frankfort
has felt the loss of the services of
SO energetic and enterprising a
citizen. Peace to his ashes.
He leaves a wife and six children,
all grown, to mourn his loss. His
funeral took place Wednesday morn
ing from the Church Of the Good
Shepherd and was largely attended.

Hotel Company, will take charge
of that establishment to-day and
operate it in future. Both gen.

ham has been connected with the
house as clerk for the past two years
while Mr.. Myers has been an en-
ploye of the Mason G. Foard Company.
We wish the new firm success in
their enterprise.

Did Is Get Theres

Prof. Went informed Journal man
this morning that the signs were very
suspicious for heavy fall of snow in
this section within the next twenty
four hours Get out your mittens,
furs and sleigh bells, for Prof. Went
seldom misses on such prophesies.-
Evening Journal, of Wednesday.
Prof Went has made new depart
ure in the above. Although he has
been running the weather in this Sec
ton for years, he has heretofore
contented himself with telling us
what it had been the day before. AL
though frequently urged to look into
the future and inform the public
what they might expect, he has per-
sistently refused, and thus lost the
opportunity Of his life in not foretell-
ing the copious rain we had last sum-
mer when the earth was parched and
the farmers complaining loudly "a lit
tie matter Old Probs. also overlook
ed. Now he comes to the front like
a little man with predictisn Of "a
heavy fall of snow'-we believe there
was to be six inches on the ground
Thursday morning. Did he get left?
Not much; for we know a man who is
willing to swear he saw three flakes
coming down early Thursday morn
ing, but he is unable to say whether
they fell "heavy' or not, as he did
not get under them. Who says we
haven't got weather prophet who
isn't to be sneezed at?

The Hill Farm Victims.
A Furious Fire Seals Their Unhappy Fate

IL
DUNBAR, June 2s.-There is no longer
any hope. All faith iu the industrious
rescuers has been abandoned. The en-
tombed miners cannot be rescued now
A furious fire has sealed their fate, and if
their dead bodies escape the hungry flames
the piiering rats that intest the mines will
have gnawed them hey yond all recognition.
Death never came TO men in a more re-
voting form, and affliction never fell
heavier on the bereaved.
This has been an awful, yet even q
greater disaster threatens. A fire, fierce
as whirlwind, is raging Tor two thousand
feet down into the yawning mouth of the
Hill farm niue. Deadly gas has gene
rated back to the burning, and the ponder
GUS hill in which the Hill farm, the
Ferguson and the Mshoning pits are
driven, is tonight mighty magazine,
fairly pregnant with death. The lightest
stroke of a miners pick would explode it,
aud the effect OF such an explosion would
be awful to contemplate. The rescuing
party has been Withdrawn from the face
of the Mahoning pit. A strong guard has
beeu placed at the mouth Of the Ferguson
mines to keep out the impatient, restless
miners, who would rescue the unfortunates
on their own account The flames at the
Hill farm mines are hot enough 10 drive
away invaders.
Fire broke from the mouth of the Hill
farm pit shortly after o'clock last night.
1t followed promptly after the drill entered
the niue. For two hours before the
flames burst out, hugh pillows of smoke,
black, dense and deadly. rolled over each
other into the air and drifted upward,
forming ponderous monument of mourn
ing to the dead inside. A rumbling,
rushing sound, like swiftly moving train
through a tunnel, preceded the flames.
To the experts the some indicated ap-
preaching fire, and Tor half an hour before
it's arrival its coming could be heard.
Long before the fire reached the pits
mouth it could be seen licking up the
timbers in the mine, and the steady stream
of water which rippied down the slope
seemed only to inspire and encourage to
wilder efforts the angry fend.
It was indeed an awful sight aud when
with a brilliant fash, the great column of
smoke was ignited the heavens seemed
afiame. Fantastic figures of fire darted
hither and thither chasing each other to
the clouds and burning hugh hole
through the gloom OF night. The sur
rounding country was lighted up, guiding
the excited nervous crowd to the scene.
The heading in the Hill farm mine was
not accompanied with accident. James
Barnhill, a practical miner, guided the
drill, aud as he touched the objective
point he secured green bag full OF air,
and then the rescuing party was ordered
out of the pit, Inspectors Keightly,
B!ick and Evans then examined the face
of the mine, after which they left their
places to consult. They declded that any
.sttempt to break through the dividing
wall would be accompanied by accident.
Watchorn, Wise aud other miners were
present at the conference.
The suspension of work just when the
unfortunate miners are almost within
reach of help has been great disappolnt-
ment.
