Fire "a Georgetown.

On the evening Of Nov. 9TH the nearly new
residence Of Benjamin Carmeau was burned
to the ground. The flames were first seen
issuing from the roof of the two-story back
building, and are supposed to have been
burning on the inside for some time before
breaking out There was some delay in
getting the FIRE apparatus upon the scene,
and meanwhile the bucket brigade did good
work. When the machine did arrive it was
too late to save any part of Mr. Carmean's
dwelling but the flames were kept from
catching to the houses near by, among which
that of George AIcGee was in great danger
Nearly all Of Mr. Caruean's furniture was
saved, though part oft was it bad condi-
tion. The loss is estimated at $4,000, upon
whech there was an insurance of sI,soo.

Senator Gray's Nepotism.

THE following letter appeared in the
Daily Republican of the 10th inst. j.
EDITOR.
It is now about three weeks since wrote
an article to your paper mainly made up OF
quotations from the sentiments and opinions
of others regarding the receptions" of our
two United States Senators, the positions
these two gentlemen occupy at present in
the minds of their constituents and several
other points.
That was an innocent little article penned,
and was in fact a very conservative compila-
tion OF the sentiments of several farmers re-
garding the status Of these same Senators.
notice, however, that one Edward Fowler
has taken the matter up and rushed to what
he calls tue defense of Senator Gray" and
notice also that he terms the outspokeu
sentiments of one Of Milford hundreds lead
ing and most leYel.headed farmers mere
twaddle."
All the same, this ''twaddle" has appar-
emily worried Mr.. Fowler aud several others
beside him considerably. I have waited
until thought Mr.. Fowler had had his say
to his own satisfaction, and last evening, hap
pening to meet my farmer friend who, mind
you, is a staunch Democrat, asked him
what he thought of Mr.. Fowler's effusions
The old gentlemen straighted himselfup and
replied "What do think ofitl Think its
Internal slush, and further want to call your
attention to the fact that Fowler has not in
any way attempted to combat the reasons I
gave why we farmers have made up our
minds that Senator George Gray shall not go
back to the United States Senate"
I said we would not send him back there
because, like the farmers of several other
States, we think it about time to notify the
railroad corporations that they don't own
our votes if they do steal our crops.
No. Fowler doesn't attempt to show us
what advantage it will be to us to have in
the United States Senate man controlled
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, but
on the contrary he goes off into a regular old
womans TRADE of abuse of Senator HiggiusjI
aud gets off lot of gush about Gray's O.
figure.
Now am not defender Of Anthoin Hig-
gins-by George, I don't think he needs one
but Fowler makes fling at him THAT is so
dirty, that in common decency Vel like
it. In one of his article. rs:

Democratic party had 10 80 { the

and therefore the value of our

Many dealers sneer at en-

The contempt arises from in
