Yorkville a few days ago, who seemed
to think that Senator Tillman was in
need of some sort of propping up, and
resolved: whatever he advocates or

the bidding of Tillman, but the charge

two-horse 1,00O-foot hose wagon has
arrived from the shops of the Sea-
grave company. Columbus, o. The
wagon, which cost $500, is up to the
greatest expectations of the members
of the fire department. The wagon
will be at Davis stables, where teams
will be furnished until the board of
aldermen decide about buying teams
for the wagon. The fire company has
the right of way on all streets, when
the fire alarm sounds and those who
have been accustomed to block the
