Yesterday morning between three
and four o'clock the oil shed of the
Laughlin tin mill and its contents
were destroyed by fire, which it is sup
posed originated from q torch that
was taken into the building by Thomas
Dorsey, one of the mill employees
About three O'Clock he went into the
building with a lighted torch and filled
several torches. He afterwards closed
the door Of the building and started
for tbe mill He had not any more
than reached the mill when his atten-
ton was attracted by the reflection OF
a flame. Turning he saw the oil house
:. loft nnVpI0nad IN
flames. Owing to the inflammablllty
of the building and its contents ne
thought it useless to turn in an alarm.
The blaze was a large one ana those
who were up at that time thought fof
a while that the fire was more olsas-
trous than it really was.
Martins Ferry politics is waxing
warm. Mr.. J. B. Montgomery is a
candidate for city treasurer against
the popular custom of giving second
term to worthy officer. MIR. David
Coss is the present incumbent, and IS
I'D for denomination and reelection.
He has served faithfully and well ana
was the only man elected upon MS
ticket for a city Office two years ago.
To vote against him would be admln-
istering a political rebuke to him. MT.
Montgomery is a popular and good
man. but he is a director IN the Dank
that brings him out because that bank
wants the city funds. MI Montgom-
erv did not seek the office, but simply
suffered his name to go before the peo-
pie at the solicitation of his BANK, n
order that the bank might handle the
CITY funds. II is not likely that the
Renublicans of Martins Ferry Will en-
ter very earnestly into the contest
against Mr.. Coss and against an oid
custom.
