lost much by the fire Mr. Ware lOst
nearly all of his library aud Mr. Scott

homeless and foodess. Mr. + NJ. Ware,

Some thoughtless boys were shooting
Roman candles and other firew orks in

the tree was seen in a blaze and it was

that day, and ASSESSED all the property
along the line of street improvement and
from this assessment Of the Board some
twenty or twenty five OF the land owners

peaed to the Corporation court. The
Corporation court heard the appeals and
in the latter part Of October Judge En-
brey sustained the decision OF the Board
and declared that the city had the right
10 make the assessment Appeals were
made by Mr. Carter in all the cases and
the case of Alexander and others was
sought TO be taken TO the Court OF Ap.

action in the case and the land owners
must pay the assessment made against
them
These cases have been of considerable
local interest 20 our people, because 30
many OF them were anxious for the i'm.
prOvements and felt 30 much benefited
by the improvements that they willingly
bore their portion Of the cost; and be
