The meeting had not reached the part
where the members "get happy" but
when following the dropping OF the
Wasps there were cries OF "Oh, Lordi"
Get awayi' Leave mel leave mei" az
the shouting ones jumped TO their feet
and began waving their arms in the
air
The pastor and other members OF the
congregation thought the cries were
manifestations Of Joy He was un-

The only victim Of the recent

best known to himself, or for no

CITY HALL BURNED.
$500 Reward Offered For Con-
yictlon Of The lncendlary.

Wednesday morning about half
past three O'Clock fire was discover
ed In the city building on the cor
ner OF Main Cross street and Pike
alley. The usual fire alarm, cries
OF fire and the ringing OF church
bells, was given, and large citizen
contingent OF both sexes was
speedily on the ground. Five
minutes use OF properly equip
ped water works system would
have extlnguished the flames, but
our only resource, the bucket
brigade, was powerless, and In a
very short time the building was
In ruins. Tho structure was oil
brick, two stories high, The first
floor was the city lookup while
the second story was used rs police
court room and council cham Der
In this room was an ordinary
closet used for keeping the police
court record, the books aud othoi
things pertaining to the court, and
all these were entirely destroyed
There was on the building fifteen
4 hundred dollars insurance In com
panies formerly represented By
Frank Yates. This amount will
nearly rebuild the burned struc
ture, but 1t Is estimated that out
side OF the loss on the building tho
City Will lose nearly a Thousand
dollars IN Judgments which can
not DO enforced.
Besides the loss TO tho town
Charles Salyers will lose nearl!
four hundred dollars worth o
household goods, including iin'
rugs and carpets. When he re
turned TO Louisa from Ohio some
time ago he was unable to find |
house and stored his goods In tn
voting room OF the hall. Thes
with few exceptions, were burned
There il but little doubt tina
this last fire was also the work o
an incendiary. Marshal Wellmal
was one OF the first TO reach tn
hre with a bucket OF water. AT thi
time II was confined to the stair
way and lower floor.
He threw the water on the fir
and the peculiar Kissing, fryin
sound at once showed the presenc
OF coal oil. In fact 1t had bee
poured all over the floor an
stairs. The front door had bee
locked, but It was an easy matte
to raise a window and by tn
means effect an entrance.
Fortunately for those Twin
near by the roof OF the burne
building was OF metal. A ver

Dr.. NJ. S. Leslie.

The people Of Greenup were
deeply shocked Thursday morn
Ing by hearing Of the sudden death
OF DR.. NJ. s. Leslie, which occurred
about IL o'clock Wednesday hight
at his home on West Nam street.
DR.. Leslie was In his usual
health that evening. He was
stricken with heart disease and
died before medical aid could
reach him.
He was in his 53rd year and had
been resident OF Greenup for
the past twenty years, with the
exception of short time he was
located In Lexington in 1888. lie

Quoted the services.
The writer has known and res
pected DR.. Leslie for years.
Though afflicted, he had always
been cheerful and many were the
words Of encouragement received
from him. His bereaved wife and
children have the heartfelt SYM
pathy OF the whole community.
May. the deceased enjoy the
reward prepared for those who
serve the Lord as he served Him
on earth.-Greenup Democrat.
DR.. Leslie died without a
moments warning. He retired at
nine O'Clock in apparent good
health. AT eleven his wife heard
him turn over and gasp. A hur.
ried investigation showed that
death had done it's work in an in
slant. 1t was not previously
known that his heart was affected
His general health and his eyes
with which he had much trouble,
were in better condition lately
than for long time before.
The large number Of flora
tributes sent, the messages OF sym
pathy aud the large attendance a
, the funeral testified to the higl
esteem in which he was held. Rev

They trade with home dealers,
regardless OF any little difference
In prices. They believe In Hunt

They pull together for new enter

already have. A Huntington
citizen recently remarked, "wo
