When dims the far horizon line
And low worms phOsphofescent SHINE

O'erhead the ghosty nighthawk nits,
And in the woods in silence sits
The whip poor-wtn. while round the lako
Soft on the shores the ripples break,

ReVerberating over all,

The tinkling cOwbells In the hush
No more are heard. and In the lusn

While echoes far their cultural cry
Across the lily pads ana cane,
As some old ObOe'5 hoarsc rehain

And Pan among the 81 Ching reeds.

While many of those who have visited the
beautiful lake regions of our State viii regret
the destruction yesterday by fire of the popular
Cooper House, at Cooperstown, yet it is matter
of universal oongntuation that the cOnfagra-
ton was unattended by any loss of life. The
hotel, a great big four-stored building, crowd
ed to its utmost capacity, was constructed en-
tuey of wood, and burnt with such rapidity
that some of the escapes were very narrow.
Many of the guests, indeed, were forced to
escape in their nightclothes, and only very few
of them were able 10 save any of their effects.

TWO DIFFERENT DIVISIONS.

Redmund and Sherman Fail to Agree on
What Each One Owes.
Miner D. Redmund, colored. was before
Judge Sanders yesterday on the charge Of
Redmund roomed with Morgan
f. Sherman, who was committed to jail
some weeks ago for stealing a shotgun.
Redmund disposed Of Sherman's effects
and was about to leave for St.
Paul when arrested. On his trial
Redmund claimed that Sherman had
given him authority to sell his effects.
Sherman, who was in court in charge OF
Under Sheriff Richards, denied this. A
satchel full of clothing was exhibited.
Redmund said most of the things were his
own. County Attorney Nolan asked him to
pick out what belonged to him. He as
sorted the things, throwing what he said
was his on one pile and what he Thought
belonged to Sherman on the other. When
he got through Sherman owned about four
odd socks, an old towel and a few collars.
Redmund owned a pile of first rate looking
clothing including shirts, underwear, col
lars and cuffs, a rubber coat. etc. Then
Sherman was told to pick out what belonged
to him. When he finished Rednund's llle
had dwindled to almost nothing and Sher-
mans had grown to colossal proportions.
Judge Sanders sentenced Redmund to forty
DAVIS in Jail and to work out the costs. He
and Sherman walked from court to the
county Jail together.

possess them. There is, however,, no WIS
