Last Nights Fire.

The shop OF the Owosso Cooperage Co.,
ON the bank of the river between the electric
light works and the round house was CON-
pletely destroyed By fire last night. The
fire was discovered kbout half-past nine, but
owing to an impd dfect joint in the hose laid
it was about half&n hour before water was
thrown, a second line being finally brought
across the river. The shop had only last
week been nearly doubledin size and had
Just been started up yesterday after being
idle several weeks. The fire was first seen
in the part of the shop where the boiler was
placed and probably caught from the fire in
that.
A drum stave saw and a cut off saw were
completely ruined, while shafting, large
stave jointer, the boiler and engine were
very badly damaged. The loss will be
about So 900. No insurance. 1t is bad
blow for Mr.. Tuthill who had just put
the mill in fine running order for the
winters WORK.
During the fire last night the burning OF
wires shut off the lights at the car shops and
caused the burning out of fuse wires which
cut out the Corunna incandescent lamps
from the circuit for few minutes until new
fuse wires could be put in.

anxious to get away and two started south
on Washington street while four went up
Water street toward Woodlands mill,
meeting Baker, Woodlands watchman,
who had heard the shooting and was going
to investigate. Evidently they thought
Baker would not be good company, SO sing
ing out to him to get out, they followed by
shooting at him the bullet grazing his leg.
After this they crossed Main street and
passed north on Water street.
AS it was, Cady's action saved Rollin
Ponds safe, for although 1t was unlocked
when they began they would have blown 1t
open within a few minutes had Cady not
found them.
Cady's wound is quite painful one, the
bullet entering his fore finger and lodging
in his hand breaking the bone of his finger.
Up to yesterday, at least, the bullet had not
been taken out. The finger may even yet
be lost.
One bullet from the burglars revolyers
flew up Washington street and shattered a
plate glass in the Wildermuth House.
The Office of the marble shop showed
signs of the encounter by bullet holes in
the walls and through the windows.
This second attempt seemed to weary the
gang, and no further attempts were made
and even had they destroyed the second
safe there was no more money in it than
there was in the first.
Nothing definite is yet known concerning
who the robbers were or where they have
gone.
Officer .Barrisford found a man watching
Sturtevant's saloon about one o'clock Sun
day morning, while his partner was ran
sacking it. After lively tussle Barrisford
succeeded in arresting the man outside who
gave his name as Johr Ryan and upon
waiying examination Monday morning was
bound over for trial in the circuit court.

Fatal Accident at the Junction.

Last night as the IT,, S. & M, freight from
the north was coming into the junction, Dow
Reynolds fell from the top of car, was run
over and instantly killed. Reynolds was a
brakeman on the T., S. & M. passenger
trains, but as it was not his night on he had
gone north on the passenger train until
they met the freight and was returning home
on that and assisting the crew. 1t seems
that this has been somewhat common
practice with them, though not part of
heir regular duty. ~
The train pulled in about half past nine
and Reynolds was running along on top Of
the cars behind the regular train hand and
was watching the fire at the Owosso Cooper
age Co.'s shop. He had no lantern with him
and about ten rods north of Chapman street
crossing fell between two cars. His body
was run over at once and was caught in
some way by the truck and ragged clear
down to the crossing.
The body was horribly mutilated, both
arms, shoulders and entire trunk being
ground to pulp. The train was stopped
leaving the body exactly on the Chapman
street crossing and the car under which he
was caught had to be lacked up before the
body could be taken out. Coroner Monroe
was called and the inquest adjourned until
this forenoon. The body was taken to the
undertaking rooms of Woodland & North and
prepared for burial. 1t is claimed that Rey-
nolds had about forty dollars with him but
D. small amount of which could be found.
He was man about twenty-five years of
age and leaves a wife but no children.
They moved to Owosso from Greenville last
July and lived ON Stewart street.
The Car which ran over Dow Reynolds
seems to have had fateful history last
night, getting Oh the track at Greenville,
killing Reynolds here and later when stand
ing on the d. & N. track, was run into by
their yard engine damaging the engine so
badly that another one had to be put on in
its place.

Tuesday Mornings Burglaries.

Safe blowers seemed out for q celebration
Monday night and they had 1t, though they
did not succeed in making 1t financial sue
cess. Their first attempt was at half past
two o'clock in the morning when they drilled
into and blew open the safe in the Office of
N. Wood d Co. They may have considered
this fun for 1t was an old safe, very easily
opened and of course had no money in 1t as
both Mr.. Wood and Mr.. Gould were out of
Town and are not in habit Of banking their
money in such place anyway. Whether
they considered 1t funny or not 1t ruined the
safe blowing the door nearly through the
side of the building. The report woke up
]. s. Haggart and was also heard by
Chauncy Ogden, night watch on the M. @.
yard engine. At the time of the explosion
Alex Mcdonald, who was acting as night
watch in that part of town, was just parting
with Officer Cady near Woodlands.
The second attempt was in the opposite
Nde of the town in Ponds marble shop and
was discovered by Officer Cady about half
past three. Cady noticing what he thought
By the reflection Of light was movement of
the Office door went down to investigate and
On going to the door saw men inside. Be-
fore he could realize whether 1t was some
one who belonged there or not he ordered
the one he saw to get out or he would shoot.
A fierce reply was made to this and was
followed by shot which broke a glass in
the door full in his face. He then fully un-
derstood the situation and fired four shots at
she robbers inside before one of their shots
struck his hand and knocked his revolver
FROM It. John Comstock who accompanied
him emptied the remaining chambers of his
revolver. By this time the robbers were

Y. w. c. T. U. NOTES.

The Y. with Other Temperance Societies.
While many different societies have been
formed having temperance or total absti-
nence as the aim, yet they belong to the
against the evil of strong drink.
All grades of men from the savage to the
civilized races have developed the appetite
for alcoholics to an excess. And, therefore,
the importance of banding together for Sc
curity from its power, is readily seen and by
SO uniting to protest against it; the various
societies must be in perfect harmony in the
work for in union there is strength.
The future must see as great revolution
in public opinion as the past has done if this
work be complete. The change thus far
effected is readily perceived.
Compare the moral standard of today with
the social condition century ago. At that
time all classes indulged in intOxicants and
without thought of the improperly of so
doing. No one now feels obliged to take
wine in company and if it is habitually re-
fused 1t is not regarded as singular. Liquors
are now never placed upon a sideboard in
the parlor, always on hand, and always to
be offered to friend as an act of hospitality
and as such, rarely refused. AT our dinner
parties for man to be drunk is very un-
common. To be excited and evidently so
by liquor is considered an unpleasant sght
and no longer joke. In other words tem-
perance is honored, intemperance discoun-
tenanced by the educated classes, and as the
result of organized efforts of organized work
for truth and right against error and the
degradation caused by alcohol. And as It
has been In the past so will 1t be In the fu-
ture-temperance will never prevail save
with the constant labor of all In their various
spheres, working as one united whole, tor
