About one O'Clock on Tuesday
morning the fire1addies were aroused
from their slumbers by violent ring
of the fire alarm and blowing of the
fire whistle, and it was discovered that
the plant of the United Manufacturing
company was in flames. Owing to
the time the fire occurred it had gained
considerable Roadway before the alarm
was turned on, and practically every
thing was consumed and only by the
most herculean efforts were the resi-
dence properties of Mr.. Irwin, Mr..
Cooper and Mr.. Ginger saved. If a
strong wind had been blowing from
the west nothing could have saved
these properties. -.
The firemen were promptly on the
ground as soon as the alarm sounded
and worked faithfully until seven
O'Clock in the morning.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The loss will be between twelve and
fifteen thousand dollars. Insured for
six thousand five hundred.
1t has not yet been decided whether
or not the Company will rebuild.

army marched through Kentucky to-
ward the Ohio border, Gov. Tod issued
an appeal to every man in the central
and southern portions OF the state who
could use a squirrel rifle effectively to
repair without further orders to Gin
cinnau and other points on the Ohio
river. Each man was to carry his own
rifle, to provide himself with quilts or
blankets, to carry food for two or three
days, and was simply to climb on a
railway train and go to the threatened
point
'The secretary who wrote the unusual
order smiled as he thought of what
might happen. The governor thought
he knew the old men OF his state, and
he expected a quick response. He did
not expect, as he said later. that the
whole state would turn out the next
day with rifles and bed quilts. and he
didn't know how many men could shoot
straight with squirrel rifles. At all
events there came a host OF thousands
from farms, shops and towns, every
man, young and old, armed and equipped
for effective shooting. AS one old fell
low said: 1--WE can't cut any fip-faps.
and we aren't stylish, but we can beat
all creation at shootin' match"
mo man ever knew how many thou
sands of the squirrel hunters went down
In squads, companies and regiments to
the Ohio without money and without
muster, but there were so many thou
sands as TO bewilder the I'M ion officers
in command on the border and TO scare
the confederate officers contemplating
attack on Cincinnati. Everybody knew
the old fellows could shoot. and that
they were eager to shoot When the
rebel army had retired the squirrel
hunters were sent home, and all they
ever received in the way of remem-
brance or compensation was an en-
graved certificate from Gov. Tod. Each
old man was prouder of that certificate
with its picture of backsw oodsman in
the center and the governors picture In
one corner than I was of my commits
sion. In fact, when I exhibited to nv
father with pardonable pride my COM
mission as colonel he smiled indnlgens-
~, and, saying he had something bet
ter than that, showed me his squirrel
hunter certificate. After his death.
and he lived TO vote for Garfield. the
certificate came to me, and I care more
for 1t than do for my colonel's COM
mission"
