Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, Nov. 23.-The dry and
calm weather was broken last Thurs
day morning, when it began to rain
and the wind began to blow with
both increasing as the day wore on.
By night-fan the rain was coming in
torrents and the wind had reached
the velocity of a storm, about 50
miles an hour, doing much damage,
such as blowing down fences, uproot-
ing trees, etc. The Hacker Manu-
featuring company was. hard-hlt
as their locomotive shed was blown
down on the engineA This shed had
a board roof, which was very heavy,
so one would think that the top-most
part of the locomotive must have
received some injuries.
Our authorities should be compli-
mented for the manner in which they
disposed of the carnival last week,

show. in the car. So the monkey
got a weeks rest.
Mr.. J. D. Dannelly's store and en-
tire contents we're destroyed by fire
last Sunday morning between three
and four o'clock. The origin is not
known. Seems that it started in
back end, as this part was burned
out first. The fire was not discover
ed until too late to save any of the
merchandise and it was the heroic
fight made by 'the bucket brigade
that saved all the stores on that side
OF the street. Mr.. Dannelly's store
was of brick construction, Joining
that of Mr.. S. W. Copeland, which is
also brick, but Mr.. Dannelly's ware
house and furniture room, which
Joined his store on the south side, is
8 wooden building and as the flames
assembled from between the brick
walls 1t looked as though this must
70 too. This was what threatened
an the stores on that side of the
street, as they are all built of wood,
until the Farmers and Merchants
bank is reached. It is understood
that Mr.. Dannelly carried some in
surance, but not sufficient to cover
more than one-t third Of the loss.
Cannot say at present whether he
will rebuild or not.
