Mr.. Journal, If you are really the
friend of the soldier that you pro-
fess to, be why did you make such
an effort to defeat q. soldier for
County Surveyor? Was it simply
because he was q Democrat? Now
we think 1t time to let the soldier
alone and not be eternally harping

yon have for the boys that wore

ashamed to own that they ever

FIRE
Sweeps the Residence Of Mrs.
Dennis Mccarthy From
the Face Of the
Earth.
Nothing but a Piano and a
Few Minor Articles
Saved From the
Flames.

On Wednesday night the large
two story frame residence of Mrs.
D. Mccarthy, imm ediately west of
town, was wholly consumed by fire.
The fire origin ated in the kitch-
en- department, but whether from
O defective flue or ortherwise Is
not known.
The family had retired for the
night, In seeming security, at the
usual time and were awakened be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock
at which time the flames had gain
ed such headway that any attempt
to save the building would have
been futile, in fact, the inmates
had barely time to save themselves.
All the contents of the building,
including most of the clothing Of
the inmates, all Of the provisions,
and meat of six hogs was a total
loss; in fact nothing was saved ex-
cept the piano, a few chairs and
some other minor articles of but
little value.
The fire has left the family in a
sta . of destitution that arouses
the pity Of the community.
The building was insured but to
what extent we have no definite
information.

A Stranger Suicides.

George B. Chambers of Pough.
keepsie, New York, registered at
the, Old Brown House and stated
to the clerk, Mr.. Birge, that he was
not feeling very we'll and would
remain as guest of the house for
several days, at the same time in
forming him that he had a bad cold
and was more or less afflicted with
dyspepsia and heart trouble.
Chambers, as he called himself,
was quiet in his demeanor and re-
ticent concerning his business. It
was his habit after becoming a
guest of the house to lay abed until
10 or IL O'Clock each morning and
on Tuesday noon when he failed to
make his appearance for dinner
nothing strange was thought of the
matter. The porter of the house, a
small son of the proprietor, had
gone to his room about z o'clock
as was his custom, to build fire
in his room at which time Cham
hers was still alive according to
the boys story, who thought him
snoring, not an unusual thing with
a majority of mankind. About l
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, the
man still having failed to make his
appearance Mr.. Morris, the pro.
prietor of the house, went to his
room to ascertain whether he was
sick or ailing and to his surprise
and horror found him cold in death
There was no evidence of seIf-de.
struction as nothing was found in
the room to indicate that his death
was the result of other than natur-
al causes. Drs. Alderman and
Biddle were at once sent for and a
little inquiry elected the fact that
the stranger had gone to the drug
store of w. A. Hibbard early Mon.
day evening and purchased from
the clerk an ounce of chloral in the
form of crystals which it is suppos-
ed he took sometime during the
night with the purpose of making
his exit from the world.
A post morten was held on We'd.
nesday morning before Justice
Rose, acting as coroner, by Drs
Alderman & Biddle who found all
the organs to be in a healthy condi-
ton. The stomach has been re.
tanned for chemical analysis. The
perfect condition ,iof health devel
oped by the post mortem leaves nc
doubt that the man committed gu
icide by the chloral route.
The authorities at Poughkeepsie
were communicated with and an.
swered back that no such person
Geo B. Chambers was known in
that city, which leaves his home
and identity q mystery as 1t is
thought that the'name under which
he registered is fictitious.
There was nothing on his person
or among his effects. which woult
tend to throw the least light upol
whom he is or where he belongs
An envelope was found on tn
mantel in his room addressed Il
DR.. T. w. Graydon, Cincinnati, o.
but in reply to telegram sent to
the Doctor, who is one of the lead
ing citizens Of the Queen City, tina
Igentleman says he has no acquain
tance with or knowledge of an!
person bearing the name Of Georg
B. Chambers.
The dead man is large and fin
looking, with massive head. Hi
eyes are blue and his complication
hair and mustache dark. He wa
we'll dressed and had the appear
ance of a prosperous man. His o.
fects consisted of wearing appare
a shaving set and $5.05 in none!

about 40 or AZ years Of age.

THE MELODY or MOORE.

The harp II the minstrel has never a tone
As sad as the song in his bosom tonight,
For the magical touch OF his fingers alore
Cannot waken the echoes that breathe IL
Alright.
But, oh. as the smile of the moon may impait
A sorrow TO one in an alien cline
Let the light OF the melody fall on the heart
And cadence his grief into musical rhyme
The faces have faded. the eyes have grown dim
That once were his passionate love and his
pride;
And, alas! all the smiles that once bossorned
for him.
Have fallen away as the flowers have died.
The hands that entwined him the laureate's
wreath.
And crowned him with fame in the long. long
agn.
Like the laurels are withered and folded be-
meath
The craes and the stubble-the frost and the
snow.
Then sigh, If thou wilt, as the whispering
strings
Strive ever In vain for the utterance clear
Ana thlnk Of tie sorrowful spirit that sings,
And jewel the song with the gem OF the tear,
for the harp OF the minstrel has never a tone
4 sad as the song in his bosom tonight
And the magical touch OF his fingers alone
Cannot wakcn the echoes that breathe II
