A FIRE THIS MORNING.
The First That Has Occurred in This City
 Since the sOth of July.

The First That Has Occurred in This City
 Since the sOth of July.
 Between and o'clock this morn ing au alarm of fire was sounded, caused by the burning of two houses on Louisiana street, between Third and Fourth avenues, owned by T. J. Ormsby.
 The first building was almost COR sumed before the alarm reached the fire department. The fire laddies succeeded in checking the flames in the second building after it had been gutted.
 How the fire originated is Q mys- tery. Ormsbys household goods were all consumed and the inmates of the houses barely had time to effect their escape after the fire was discovered.
 The two buildings, which were old frames, together with their contents, were probably worth $l,2OO. We understand the owner had no insur- ance.
 This is the first fire that has oc- cured in this city since the Both of July; however, at this season of the year, one fire is usually followed in rapid succession by several others. Our people had better be on their guard, and have their fues and chimneys carefully examined.

About 1877 voters attended freeman's
meeting this week. Number of names on
check list is 227. Myron F. Dutton, the
Republican candidate on the regular ticket,
was elected town representative on the first
ballot, receiving SO votes out of 173 cast
for all the candidates. This is the highest
number any candidate has received for
town representative since 1874, and per-
haps farther back, except in 1880, when
Stephen l.. button was elected on first
ballot by 9S votes. The late H. r. Stod-
dard was elected in 1878 on a first ballot
by Ga votes. With these two exceptions,
Mr. Dutton is the only town representative
elected in this town on first ballot for
more than % years, Among the voters
present on Tuesday, past so years of age,
were S. w. Wilson, Esq, E. G. Mason,
Willard Dodge, VIM. o. Miller, and one
man, Dea. r. P. Pratt, who is past 90.

Our Town Election.

The election in this town resulted in the
choice of II. S. Plumb, Democrat, for
representative. The nominees were L. w.
Sumner, Republican, II. S. Plumb Demo
crat, and David +. Tucker Prohibition,
whose nomination was filed as straight
Republican, though Mr.. Tucker didn't vote
the Republican ticket. The Tucker men
about midnight turned their votes over to
the license Democrats. Mr. Plumb is quite
an old man and is much respected. He
has always been an open Democrat, and
will act honestly and conscientiously as
a representative, and If we must have
Democrat we are pleased to have one who
is not hypocrite or a mugwump, but
"straight goods"
1t seems strange that, in a presidential
year, and this year of all years, men pre-
tending to be Republicans, should turn
against the principles of their party and
vote for license and free trade, to say moth
ing of free silver and the other Democratic
planks.
VIM. Warren voted twice upon one ballot
which caused some delay, he claiming it to
be a mistake, though he was told before
voting that he had voted that ballot by the
guard at the entrance. There is much talk
of prosecution, and there will probably be
some legal move taken in the matter.

years. This year it was made a special
subject of prayer by few of the members,
in meetings held for that purpose. When
the time came for presenting the matter it
was stated that 5000 was desired to pay up
the old debt and to pay the expense Of the
present meetings; then collection was
taken, in which S160 was realized. When
it was counted some one offered to give 500
to make up the remaining $40, and in
about two minutes time the other $50 was
pledged in small amounts. All this came
when the majority of the people seemed to
be of the opinion that to raise 5000 from
the congregation present would be an i'm
possibility. Truly, "God loveth a cheerful
giver."

The Grove Meetings at Sunset Lake.
The annual meeting of the Dummerston
Hill grove meeting association began on
the evening of Aug. 25, with good corps
of workers. Some very interesting meet
ings were held. The average attendance
during the meetings was about the same
as in previous years. Fine weather was
enjoyed most of the time, and on the whole
it was pronounced the most successful
series of meetings that has ever been held
on the grounds. Many testified of the rich
spiritual blessings they received. Sunday
was a day of unusual blessing. A good
number of people came together at an ear
ly hour. The first service of the day was
prayer meeting as o'clock in the morn

O'Clock, and lasted until little past noon.
1t was instructive and impressive service.
After three-quaIters of an hour for dinner
the services began again at l o'clock, and
continued for three hours, and despite the
hard seats and rather unpleasant wind, the
congregation was so thrilled by the power
full presentation of the gospel message that
they seemed perfectly willing to stay.

was raised. A small debt has been bur-
