Judge Martin on his entrance to
the Office and wishing him success
in his official and social career.
1t will be remembered that Judge
F. p. Martin was elected Probate
Judge last fall after one of the
most hotly contested campaigns
ever waged in this county, His
Republican opponent, w. S. Stone,
is one of the most formidable
leaders of his party in this county
and with opposition less popular
than Judge Martin, would have
certainly been successful.
Judge Martin enters upon his
duties in Office with the good will
of all our people. He is a clean
man, an every day, honorable and
honest farmes of Marion township,
with good education and some
knowledge of law, backed up by a
head full of good common sense,
and will make a noble Probate
Judge. We wish him success.
Judge Riason has served six
years in that Office, being success
full in the memorable political bat
ties of 1896 and 1899. Every body,
regardless of politics or creed, re-
cite praises to Judge Riason's Of
fetal career. As an officer, as a
court,-he had no enemies to pun
ish or friends to reward. His posi-
tion was Away. for the right, or
what he thought to be right, and
no influence or hope of reward
could swerve him from his path.
In his six years he Lad the distinc-
tion of never having been reversed
in his decisions, by upper courts.
His judgement has stood. His
opinions were based upon his
superior knowledge of law, and
his honesty of heart and noble
purpose. He was an untiring

A Big Fire at Bremen.
Harvey Grove Suffocated and Postmaster
Shelhamer Badly Injured.

BREMEN, O., Feb. IL The
entire business section of this place
is in ruins, one man is dead and
three others are under the care of
physicians, as the result of a fire
early this morning.
About o'clock people residing
in the vicinity of Griffith & Nc
Curdy's general merchandise store
were awakened by the roar Of
flames and the crackle of burning
wood. 1t was then discovered
that the entire building of this
firm was ablaze, and the alarm, was
given. The village department
responded, but the fire had gained
such head-way and was spreading
with such rapidity, that an appeal
was sent to Lancaster for assis-
tance, but before the department
from that city arrived, about $50,
000 worth of damage had been
done.
The fire spread to the adjoining
buildings; the bank, the postofiice,-
and the establishments of G.. A.

err, the Hopkins hotel, and other
buildings, about 90 in all, were
destroyed.
The victim of the flames was
Harvey Grove, a young man of 90.
He had gone in the post-office with
Postmaster Shelhamer to try to
save the books, and was suffocated. +.
The postmaster escaped with his
life but was horribly burned. The
body of Grove was afterward
found, burned to a crisp.
Jesse Rowles, who lives across
the street from the postotiice, was
working to save his household
goods and sustained severe burns.
Professor M. E. Osborne was
struck by falling slate and sus-
tanned painful scalp wound.
The fire was supposed to be of
incendiary origin, as some stray
goods near the railroad gave evil
dence of robbery.

On Monday evening many OF
