TWO FIRES.
One in the Carpenter Organ Factory and
the other at Lindenhurst.

The new year opened with two fires in
Brattleboro in the first eight days. The
record since May is now 10 fires. The
first of the two fires occurred Friday night,
about 7:4j, being caused by spontaneous
combustion in an ink closet in Spencer IL
Wrights printing office in the l. of the
Carpenter organ factory. The fire was
discovered by Leslie Walker, while walk
ing on Elliot street He at once gave the
alarm to Waterman Charles Boyd, who
was in the engine room at the factory
The Carpenter Organ company has a spe-
cial ire-alarm box running into the Elliot
street engine house. Mr.. Boyd a. once
pressed the button to this box, and then
started in search of the fire. The alarm was
rung in the engine house and from there
a general alarm was sounded. The factory
is equipped throughout with the Walworth
sprinkler system. The heat from the fire
started this system into operation, and the
water from it kept the fire under control
until Mr.. Boyd could break through the
partition and turn two streams of water
upon it from the factory pump The flames
were soon eXtinguished by these streams.
The fire did little damage aside from de-
stroying the closet and its contents, incud-
ing quantity of ink, rollers, bronzes, etc.
AT one time it lighted up two windows and
it was feared that there would be serious
loss.
The fire department turned out prompt
ly, and Elliot hose company had stream
ready from the hydrant in front of their
house, while No. took one from the hy-
drant in front of the Thurber bakery on
Main street There was no use for these
streams, however, the pump in the factory
having done such efficient service.
The Carpenter Organ company sustained
quite serious damage from water, which
fell through the floor to the room below
upon 40 finished organs. The company's
loss was adjusted by appraisers at SS74,
and that of Spencer & Wright at SG395.
Mr. Boyd, the Waterman, makes his rounds
of the factory once an hour, and his time
for leaving the engine room would have
been only few moments after the fire
was discovered.
This is the second fire in this factory, the
first having taken place seven years ago.
when the loss was much larger than in the
present case.

This despatch, which appeared in the
Boston Herald of Tuesday, undoubtedly
indicates a notable success for Mrs. LAWN.
The Philharmonic orchestra of Hamburg
is the leading organization of its kind in
Germany, holding the same high rank in
that country as does the Boston symphony
orchestra in this, while the whole musical
world knows Won Bulow as one of the
greatest musicians and conductors of our
time. In the German concerts of this
class encores are absolutely prohibited, and
Mrs. LAWNS recalls must therefore indi-
cate that her audience was carried to a
high pitch of enthusiasm.

The Local Papers Power.

The immense power a local uewspap-
er possesses in attracting trade to the
town in which it is published or divert
in to channels can hardly be estimated.
Further it is a matter that is seldom
considered as an important factor in
towns prosperity, for the simple rea-
son that business men do not give it
thought. He who VIII impartially
consider this assertion will be con-
vinced of the truth of it. The local
| paper is very naturally biased in favor
of the place of it's publication, if given
a fair living patronage by home bust
ness men will guard well their inter
ests, just as the merchant guards the
interest of his individual customer
but if a niggardly supports doled ou!
to it, and it is compelled to solicit trade
from neign boring cities, 1t cannot in
Fjustice TO those patrons exert itself in
behalf Of it's own town as it otherwise
would. Try system of liberality in
the matter of advertising expenditure
and mark the result. -Slatington,

The Encouragement has raised the
question of those Mississippi special
warrants again by ordering ill per-
sons connected with their issuance to
be arrested. including the governor OF
the state. This proceeding is very
strange and probably has some sinis-
ter motive to incite it. The warrants
do not resemble the currency of the
United States in any respect except In
their general appearance, and even if
they did so in detail. there would be
no excuse for taking action against
Gov. Stone. The st. Louis Bank Note
Company were required to draw up
designs Tor the warrants and of course
it was expected that in doing so there
would be no infringement on any
money now in circulation. If there is
anybody amenable to the federal law
it is the Bank Note Company, and not
the state officials. The prosecution is
to be made under the criminal statutes
and it seems that the government in
tends to put the governor, the auditor
and others connected with the warrants
in the penitetiary. The warrants al
ready issued will be. made invalid
thereby causing the state to suffer.

A correspondent from Washington
Gays the Democratic Congressional
campaign committee will now begin
to rush things. The news received is
growing bettor and better, and even
the republicans are now beginning to
admit that they have nothing upon
which to base hopes that they will
elect a majority OF the next House.
They have not yet reached the stage
where there are willing to concede q
a majority to the Democrats, but let
themselves down easy by expressing
their belief that neither Democrats
nor republicans will elect a majority
OF the next House. This implies be-
lief that the populists will elect suf-
ficient number to enable them to con-
troll the House. The Democratic COM
mittee is in constant communication
with trustworthy correspondents in
every Congressional district, but they
have no knowledge of any thing that
indicates any such increase in the
populists strength. On the contary,
they are confident that the next House
will be Democratic by good working
majority.

John Allen Nominated.

The primaries held last Tuesday
gave the nomination for Congress to
Hon. j. M. Allen, the present incumbent
from this district. The returns up to
the time of going to press are not full,
but sufficient to insure the return of
Mr.. Allen to Congress. Mr.. Gambler
carried Tlshomingo. Alcorn and
Lowndes, and Mr.. Allen received ma
critics IN Prentlss, Ice, Itawam ba,
Monroe and Oktibbeha.
At Corinth the vote was 1875 for
Gambler and rs for Allen Other dis
trict so far as heard from give Cand-
Ter Alcorn county by a good majority.
In Boonville the vote stands liz to
IS in favor OF Allen and the other yot.
ing places In the county are thought
to be largely in his favor.
Allen received his best support In
Lee and Monroe counties. At Tupelo
the votes was 118 to 61. Other places
in Lee county for Allen as follows
Mooresville, 20 to 0; Nettleton, 95 to
4; Shannon. % to 9; Guntown, rs to 10;
Saltillo, 80 to 2; Leighton, IL to 6;
Allen carried Itawamba county 30

The only surprise vote was that
which came from Lowndes county.
Gambler seems to have taken things
by storm in the city of Columbus,
having carried it by vote of 239 to 60;
Oktibbeha was. close, but reports
that are believed to be authentic insure
that county for Allen by a small ma
jority. The vote at Starkville was
