THE FIRE
At The Waterbury Furniture Co,
 Sunday Evening, Nov 6, '92,

The insurance companies have given us possession of oLr building and we are at work once more preparing our dams aged goods for the public to make short work of. The sale will begin Monday, NoVem- Der 21, and after the goods are sold the carpenters and painters will go to work.
 Our first duty is to thank Chief Snagg and his faithful band of firemen for their wonderful work on that memorable oc- casion. We also take pleasure in sending them a check as a small reminder of our appreciation for their successful efforts in saving our property. We hope our fire men may live long to continue their mis- sionary labors in behalf of their fellow men. What the soldier is in war the fire man is in peace.
 That men will do for glory what they never would do for money is magnif iOently illustrated at a fire.
 While viewing the work of the fremen that night and the eagerness displayed, we thought what pity that the element of money, that bone of contention, was ever introduced into our social life. But it seems that since the time of Adam, Eve X Go, money has been used to pay bills with, and this is why we are compelled to throw our entire stock on the market con sisting of car load of Standard Folding Be6s, Office Furniture, Chamber Suits, Parlor Suits, Carpets, Stoves, Ranges, and everything kept in first class furniture house. The building must be cleared at once to make room for the carpenters, painters, &c.
 CB- Sale begins Monday, Nov 21.

A Feat of Cossack Horses.

In the mines of the Altai, in Liberia, gold is found in fair quantities. A con voy of about sixteen thousand pounds of the pure metal was lately being transported across the wide plain watered by the Irtish, when suddenly a numerous band of highwaymen broke from an ambush and opened fire on the caravan. The captain saw that his force was too small to make a success full stand and gave orders to give the horses the spurs and try to escape. The robbers, having failed to blockade the road in any way, in vain forced their horses. The Cossacks escaped and were greatly praised for their rapidity o1 movement when they arrived at the government at Orusk to deliver their treasure.

 Arctic Expedition.
HE OBTAINS LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

This Attempt Will be Made Under tn, Ausp'cas of the Academy of Natura Sciences, of PhiIndel phIa-The Explor. ing Party Will be Small In Number.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-Informatiol has been received in this city that Score tary Tracy of the Navy Department hal granted three years leave of absenc, to Lieut.. Peary, who will head anothel expe dition to the Arctic regions. Thi, report was confirmed to-day by Gen Isaac J. Wistar, President of the Academ, of Natural Sciences.
 Owing to the need for additional civi engineers in the Navy Department P ry's request for the necessary fur 10 gh was at first refused, but Gen. Wis tar ol behalf of the Academy, wrote t, Sc r-tary Tracy, which probably ihfu elced him to change his first decision.
 The second Greenland expedition wal now be made under the auspices of th, academy.
 ''rhere are.three objects," said the Gen eral, ''in sending the present expedition which may be stated briefly as follows:
 ''The first is to definitely determine tn, northern coast line of Greenland.
 ''The second is to determine if any land exists north of Greenland.
 1.-The third is to reach the geograph ical location of the North Pole, or to get as near to it as possible.
 ''This journey will be attempted over the frozen surface of the polar sea. imagine the eXpe dition will of necessity be small one.
 ''The journey over the, frozen sea will be made by Peary with but one companion.'

A BRUTAL MURDER.
An old Woman at Farmers' Valley, Pa.,
 Found Hanging

aSnSlnRs
 BRADFORD, Pa., Nov. 21.-Mrs. Lucette Grossmeyer, aged 50 years, was found hanging in her COW stable at Farmers Valley yesterday. For 8 time it was supposed to be case of suicide. Investi, gation, however, brought to light most brutal murder.
 The old lady had gone to the stable to milk her COW. The murderer, evidently knowing her habits. was lying in wait for her. As she entered the stable door she was seized from behind and beaten and choked into insensibility.
 A large pool of blood was found on the floor; marks of fingers were on her throat, and frightful bruises from blows upon her head and face were plainly discerni- ble. Her clothing was nearly torn from her body, and her hair was matted with filth from the stable floor.
 After committing the deed the ~mur- derer hanged the old lady by the neck from a rafter.
 Mrs. Grossmeyer's husband died last year. Owing to domestic difficulties, the old couple had not lived together for 8 long time.
 Mrs Grossmeyer had much difficulty in getting possession of her husbands s farm, which was claimed by her son. This son, Ralph Grossmeyer, was at Smithport, but his present whereabouts IS unknown. He was the only enemy of the old lady. The coroner is now Investigating.

GLEASON'S REELECTION.

Residents of Long Island City iu a Fever
 of Excitement Over the Matter.
 LoNG ISLAND CrTY, Nov. 21.-Residents of this city, and more particularly those of the anti G Gleason faction, have not yet recovered from the bom5shell hurled into the political camp by City Clerk Burke, an appointee of Mayor Gleason, declaring his superior reelected by 8 majority of 732 votes.
 Everybody had accepted the recent election returns as final, Gleason's defeat for re. election as Mayor settled and San ford's triumph over him complete.
 The matter will undoubtedly be carried to the courts, but as Gleason, on the strength of the clerks certificate, has been sworn ip, he has the possession ad- vantage of the matter.
 It is understood that Gleason claims the office on the ground that nearly a thousand defective ballots were cast for his opponent, Sanford.
 Sanford was the candidate of the Jeff erson Democracy. When City Clerk Burke counted the defective ballots where the names of the candidates were written on the ballots instead of being printed, he found ,O00 of them on which Sanford's name was written in many ways. Nearly all were wrong.
 On many were written Sanford, on many others Sandford, Sansford and Sanaford. After placing these various names in their proper columns and foot. ing up the totals, City Clerk Burke found that Gleason's ballot showed 6 majority over Sanford's proper ballot of 732 votes.
 Sanford is in Washington with his family. He went there to recuperate over his supposed victory over Gleason.

KNIGHTS AT ST. LOUIS,
To Consider a Proposition to Meet Each
 Year With the Farmers Alliance.

Hear Wlth the FAfmers' AlI1ance-
 ST. LOUIS, Nov. 21.-There is very little discussion among Knights of Labor over the pending election of general officers, and this is because it is almost certain that the present officers will be reelected.
 Before adjourninG sine die the conven- tion will consider proposition already suggested to meet each year in the same city and at the same time with the gen. eral body of the Farmers Alliance. The relations of the two orders are very close and many of the Knights think the meeting of the conventions at the sam place and time would tend to promote a further concert of action.

The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1892-05-10
T IT is OVER.

The GLOBE yesterday talked briefly
about the suspension of the Oxford Day.
1t regretted that such ~'sprightly paper
had gone up the flume-it regretted that
such a liye town as Oxford had allowed
a paper to nail the skull of defeat to its
that fills one with awe when we look alta
corpse in the brighter light. No living
human being ever looked at a corpse un-
less he thought that "some day |, too, must
die"
But when n newspaper man views
the mortal remains of the wreck which
has been a neighbOr to him when he con.
templates what has been and will be, he
naturally wonders what particular day he
will be a corpse in a like manner himself.
The great newspapers, those which have
made money, look upon a newspaper
corpse in a sort of a ghost dance style
they feel that they have knocked out
something when in fact they have not.
THE GLOBE remarks these few remarks
for tive reasons First, because it has
seen newspapers try TO get there and it
has seen them fall and seen them fail.
The GLOBE position would please even
the sexton of the newspaper grave
yard himself. 1t has often said, and it
to-day reiterates, that it came twenty-five
hundred miles to locate in Durham and it
knows a shorter way out. The sun is
here-CoLoNEL ROBINSON prints a COED
paper and there is room for two people
to conduct newspapers. THE GLOBE folks
have built a home here and they expect to
stay, but after all is said and done the peo-
pie are too much on the brow beat order.
They want a paper for nothing-others
expect to dictate the papers policy and
others again do not and cannot read.
! The Oxford Day was foolish to stop.
