Peter Fsishsim's smoke House Burnsd-A
Yonng Lady,s Great Act.

Houng Lady's Great ACT
At q quarter after eleven O'clock last
night Miss Lizzie Stein, daughter Of
Michael Stein, the Fulton saloon keeper,
and Otto schenk saw flames issuing
from the amoke. house of Peter Fels-
helm, the butcher, which is near Mr..
STEMS house. Crying fire, both OF them
ran to the house where the fre reel is
kept. Mr.. Schenk rang the alarm bell
and Miss Stein caught hold OF the. hand
engine and pulled It out Of the house
herself When the rest OF the towns
people arrived, the engine was on the
street, ready to be run to the fire.
The smoke house was filled with ham
and bacon, which only added fuel to
the flames. The volunteer firemen
worked hard and eventually succeeded
in extinguishing the fire, but not be.
fore the meat was all destroyed, and
the smoke house and one or two adIoln.
ing sheds Quilted.
The loss is estimated to be between
$500 and $500, the most of which was in
buildings. One hundred dollars will
cover the loss OF Mr.. Felsheim in meat.
The houses belonged to Chris Hoffman,
and were insured.
Miss Lizzie Stein was the heroine OF
the occasion, and received many con-
gratulationsfor her bravery and prompt
ness.

THE SCHOOL ENUaIEnAT1oN.
Tho Board OF Education Committee De
eides 10 Have Il Taken Over.

Tho Board OF Education Committee De.
esdes TO Have It Taken over.
A meeting Of the special committee OF
the Board of Education appointed to
consider the recent enumeration Of
youth Of school age and decide upon a
course to be pursued in view of its I'M
satisfactory results, mo. yesterday af-
ternoon with the enumerators. The re-
turns, already printed in the 1NTEII1-
eBNcER, were gone over and compared
with those for former years and the
matter was fully considered from all
points OF view.
From the statements of the enumer-
ators it was concluded that they had all
console ntiously done the best they could.
The commissioners attention was call
ed to the fact that the time chosen for
the enumeration was the worst in the
year. Mills and factories are shut
down, and many families in all the
walks Of life are out Of town. The
enumerators, where they found fami-
ly away, ascertained as correctly as pos
sible from the neighbors how many
people lived in it, but this Is not very
reliable information.
The committee finally agreed to rec
ommend that the same enumerators
take the census over, as soon as posi-
Bile. Most people are home by this
time, and 1t is thought the result will
be much changed.
A special meeting of the board Of ed
ucation will be held Thursday evening
to act on the committees report, and if
its action is favorable, the re-enumera-
ton will commence at once. Clerk
Walter Hall, of the board. will take
the First, Second and Seventh wards,
taken by Miss Swift before, as she is
out of the city.

is fine one, and with a hundred men
uniformed with it the club will present

ganized. The hats will be furnished by
Dinger Bros, the macintosh and over
CATERS by the Hub. and the fag-cane
by NJ. O. Lilly & Co, of Columbus.
The boys will begin their drills next
Thursday evening, and will keep 1t up
