Mr. Martin and family were nway at the time and the tlatneH were discovered about 8 o'clock. Besides the building a let of hay, straw and several wagons were burned. The building was Insured several months age. There l no doubt that the Ore was the work of an Incendiary, who also attempted te fire the house.

Several persona ran' fe the building, where they made a' discovery In time te prevent considerable damage te If net the total destruction of the building.

Hew Forery Wen Used Against the Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate. Tlie Inside history of the forgery of the name of Hen. James E. Campbell, Demo cratic candldnte for governor of Ohie, te a certificate of stock In a ballet-box company In behalf of which box he had introduced a bill In Congress, was revealed .Saturday night. It appears that R. O. Weed, the Inventor, with the sole object at the time of booming the box, had sccured.by traclug,fae-similes of the signatures of a number of promi nent men, including Mr. Campbell. When the present state campaign grew het Weed theucht he saw a cbunce te make seim, money. Ills box, an excellent one, was In use In New Jersey and Michigan, and the stock of the company was valuable. He offered te give the forged subscription for stock bv Campbell te the Commercial Ga zette if It would buy three shares at $5,000 each, llnlstcad bit, but hasn't paid the bill yet. A part of the bargain was that Weed would be made city smoke inspector, but when the announcement of '.lie appoint ment was made, there was such a howl that it was quickly recalled, and in revenge Weed gave a friend of Campbell a pointer and lied te Canada. Demoerats Muy Curry Ohie, flev. Gray returned te Indianapolis en Saturday from a brief campaign In Ohie. He will resume the stump at Marlen and Dayton next week. He says that he does net want te go en recerd as prophesying a great Democratic victory In Ohie next month, but he thinks there is a geed fight ing chance, and all the ordinary signs of Democratic success he thinks are dis cernible. The Ohie Republicans are net sympathizing with Gov. Foruker's third term ambition, and are net fighting with the accustomed vigor. Many mere are de moralized by the Tanner eplsode In natleual politics, and for this and ether reasons are much dissatlstled with Har rison's administration. The governor thinks that unless the Western Reserve turns out with unusual strength Mr. Camp bell will be elected. 1.1st of Unolalmed Lettery.

Last Services In St. Jehn' Lutheran en Sunday Dr. AUeman's Sermon. St. Jehn's Lutheran congregation wor shipped for the last time In their church building, en West Orange- street, en Sun day, It having been decided that It Is un safe. The farewell sermon was preached at the morning service by Rev. Dr. Allc man te a large congregation from Psalm 137 1 " If I forget thee, O Jorusalem, let my right band forget her cunning) If I de net remember thee, let my tongue cleave te the reef of my mouth." This psalm, the doctor said, was written at the time the children of Israel were In bondage In a foreign land. They did net 11 ve In the cities of their masters, but were employed outslde at their labors, and their thoughts would naturally revert back te their native laud. While the circumstances of thin congre gation were net te be compared te the chil dren of Israel, the text Is applicable te the present circumstances. It is the last day of sorvice In a place hallowed by tender memo'les and Intertwined with the re ligious 11 fe of the congregation sluce Its organization. In this building many of the younger members remember with tender leelings the places eccnpled by their honored sires and loved mothers. Fer these reasons the sundering of these ties are sad. llut while feelings of sadness ceme ever us in con templating the destruction of this building there should be mingled with them these of Jey and happiness, when It Is remem bered that this structure will be succeeded by n mere beautiful ene.

Public sentiment has proved tee strong for the Republican managers of Mentnna, and the olfert te have Judge De Wolfe removed has been abandoned. The stnte beard of canvassers will meet le-dny and commence their cnnvnss of the vete ou the constitution, despltn the fact that leu days mero must elapse befere the limit fixed by law for the returns te be In has explrixt, and the additional fact that nt least six counties have yet te muke their returns. In order tn prevent airy delay in admis sion and te have the tunnel precinct casn decided the Democrats have made the preposition te the Republicans te have Chief Justice Blake call a special session of the Bupreme court nnd hear the mandamus case. If tills were dene the ontlie matter could be settled within n week, and Mon Men tnna could be admitted bofero November 1, us the county clerks would undoubtedly hurry up their returns If urged by both parties. Se far the Republicans hnve shown no disposition te accept this preposition. The Democrats remaln firm In tlielr de termination net te be deprlved by fraud of the victory they have wen, and while they stand ready te accept any fair preposition which leeks te a settlement of the trouble, they will resist te the -last nnd by every attempt te overthrew by fraud or lene the icsult shown nt the ballet box.

The members the Republican county committee from the Northern neniiterlsl district met nt 10 o'clock this morning, In the rooms of the Yeung Republicans. Nearly every district was represented. Dr. Dunlap, chairman, of the county committee, presided nnd slated the object of the meeting te be te consider the vacant sonatershlp lu the Northern district. Jehn R, Bricker appeared te run the machlne, and the members Ireni the north did as he told thmii they must de. His first motion was te exclude every body from the room except the members and representatives of Republican news papers. It was adopted and that of course excluded the Intcluernceh man. His next motion was that nn nomination lie made. He argued thut under the rules the counts cemmittee had no right te se lect a candidate, that thore was no time te call n primary olcctlen te nomlnate a candidate, and that nt best It was but an empty htiner. The cemmittee who had been Instructed by the political bosses te vete the way Cant. Bricker talked agreed te his motion. There being no further uusmess me coinmuiee niijeurneu. The action taken by the cemmittee will net preveut a Republican from running for the position. It has been arranged that Harry L. Stchman, son of the late sonnter, should announce hlmself as an Independ ent candidate, and that the election tickets hearing his nnme shall be circulated en election day by the poll committee of the Republican party. Some of the politicians de net want te see this done, for fear that it will give young Stchman n prcstlge in next year's contest. MHXTZEn "bewncep."

The meeting was net further disturbed, nnd alter the ndjourn ndjeurn ndjourn ment Mr. Moutzer nguln went Inte the room nnd ngaln said, " Mr. Chairman."
