One Of the worst fires ia the history
Of Caldwell occurred Wednesday eve
ning about o'clock. The 1.-TWO Or

vehicles, an equal number of sets of
harness, and a large amount of hay
and grain were consumed. Twenty
eight head Of horses persisted 10 the
flames. The only things saved from
the fire were one horse and buggy.
The loss amounts TO several thousand
dollars. The bIildilg was covered by
insurance. Everything else burned
was total loss.
The fire was first noticed 10 a man
ger. Two men were in the barn at
the time, but before they could reach
the flames they bad spread to the hay
loft and in an instant had enveloped
the entire building. The men sue.

They also succeeded in getting one
buggy out, but before they could do
anything else the barn was a perfect
mass Of flames. The fire could be seen
for miles around and attracted an
enormous crowd of people. The cries
of the burning beasts ia the stable
were terrible.

, W. A. Rem sliced the reporter last
ThurSday'afteruOOn for a twenty min.
uteS' walk over town and pointed out
some recent improvements being
made to residence property in We'll
lingtOn. The amount of building
going on in the city is astonishing to
most people. New sidewalks, new
barns, new fences. new coal houses,
etc, are to be seen on every hand.
There is an air OF prosperity
about the city that is refreshing.
Nearly every property owner is max
ing improvements to his property in
some way or another. We mention
some of the more important improve
mehtS seen during a short walk over
town yesterday,
Geo. 9. Pfeifer has huilt a new
porch to his house in the Third ward.
He has also erected a new coal house,

John Tegder is shaving several rooms

Thanksgiving Services I.

5iAlfIhe churches Of the city held
union Thanksgiving services at the
Congregational church Thursday
morning. The pastors OF the various
churches attended and tuOk part in
the exercises. A thank Offering was
taken up for the poor. Quite a sum
was raised for this worthy cause.
The sermon was delivered BY Rev.
E. A. HOyt OF the Methodist Episco-
pal church. He took for his text,
blessed are che eyes which see the
things that We see," and his theme
Was THE Blessings Of this Genera.
tlOn." After referring 10 the mercies
common to every year, Rev. HOyt
said there were mercies of a higher
order which belong not to any given
year, but to many years, or a genera
ton, and spoke particularly Of that
class. He first mentioned the wide
spread abolition of slavery within the
last sixty years, twelve nations Of
Europe and America having liberated
all Of their slaves within that time.
He then sketched the retirement GEN.
turtles ago Of China and Japan from
the family OF nations by reason Of the
intrigues Of the Jesuits and their re.
turn to general intercourse about
folty years ago The former great
ness OF Africa was alluded to, and
then her lost condition for more than
1000 years, which was not relieved
I'LL the days of Livingstone and Stan
ley. To-day she is thrOhhing with the
pulses of a new life. Arbitration was
arst adopted in 1871. The United
States had grown from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific ocean. The at
tempt Of Spain TO plant a Roman
Catholic monarchy in Mexico was a
failure. international expOsitionS
had bound the world together with
tile arts Of peace. The sites OF many
Of the ancient cities of sacred and
profane history had been explored,
and many interesting historical
events confirmed. The very body Of
The Pharaoh Of the Exodus had been
exhumed and photographed.
La speaking of the remarkable ad-
yaucemeut Of the cause Of God, be
referred Jo the fal of The temporal
power Of the Pope: the checks which
nave been given TO various forms Of
scientific unbelief; as spontaneous
generation, the ape-Origin OF man aud
materialiSm; and TO the improvement,
in the public view of Morals. In this
last he cited the lower way 10 which
dueIling and prize fighting are re-
garded; the interest taken ia the
Temperance question:: the tendency
toward unity now manifested among
the churches, and the increased Spir.
Itual activity shown by them in recent
years.
Rev. HOyt closed his sermon with
quite an enumeration of the invel..
tons, discoveries and achievements
which have marked the past forty
years, such as the construction ot
great works of civil engineering, the
invention Of railways and agriCul-
tural machinery and the discovery Of
the various practical uses for cleo.
tricity. At the summit Of the list OF
Nineteenth century achievements was
placed the establishment Of the Sum-
ner County High school.
He held that all which had thus fal
been accomplished is but the begin.
ming Of that final cOnsummatiOn
which shall bring everything into
obedience to the gospel Of Christ.
