InK A Dwelling Is iSaved By the
Timely Arrival of Neighbor.
There have been qulte a number of fire
In the lower end or the county during the
past year, and there were two mere en Hat
urday and Sunday nights. The first one
wm en a property about a mile and a half
west of New Providence, which 1 owned
by Adam Stelnard, of this city, and occu eccu
pied by Frank Martin. The small burn
wm entirely destroyed. 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. While the barn wns
burning every person In the neighborhood
was attracted te It. By the light made
Heme one saw that smoke was issuing from
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.
On the stairway that leads te thesocend
fleer they found a large bundle of old rags
that were en fire. Underneath them was
an old lantern that was lighted. Frem this
lantern the elethlng had caught and no one
doubts that an Intention was te destroy
the heuse also. Reveral beards of the stair
way were burned. A heuse which steed en
the same spot as this one was burned two
j ears age.
ANOTHER OS SUNDAY NiartT.
Within a quarter of a mile of the abeve
flre another took place en Sunday evening.
The last 11 re was much e.irl.er than the
first, as It took pla:e nb nit half-past six
o'clock In the evenluE. It was caused by
the burning of a small frame store which
was owned by Lewis Frank, who dealt in
cigars, tobacco, confections and ether
things In a small way. It Is thought that
this building was also fired by an incen
diary. Mr. Frank was ut Mt. Mope church
when the fire breke out. The property was
Insured.
OHIO'S POLITICAL SENSATION.
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.

THE OLD CHURCH VACA1ED.
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.
Dr. Allemau then gave a history et l:s
Sunday school and church, of which the
following Is an abstract : The Sunday
school was organized In the spring of 18."2
by several of the younger members of
Trinity Lutheran, uud was opened In one
of the publle school houses en Mulberry
street near Orange. J. S. Crumbaugh was
me ursi superintendent, ine ursi meet
ing of the congregation was held en April
2, 1853, the committee en constitution was
appointed en the 18th of May and the nanie
of the church determined en June 15.
Rev. Jehn S. Crumbaugh was elected the
first pastor. The congregation worshipped
first in Fulton hall and subsequently hi the
Moravian chinch. The corner-stone of the
church was laid en October p. 18.13, and en
the 5th of March, 1851, assembled for wor
ship for the first time in the lecture room.
The cnlire building wus completed at a
cost of $20,000. r.nd formally dedicated en
December 21, 18M.
In 1855 the congregation applied te the
synod for dismissal te the East Pennsyl
vania synod, and in 1850 their reqnest was
granted. The pastors of the church have
been: Revs. J.S.Crumbaugh, Daniel Stock,
Augustus C. Wedekind, Washington V.
Oetwald, lien jnm In C. Suesscret, R. W.

finding the const clear, I went te the corn
crib and get the club, which was a part of
a finll, nnd than went Inte the house softly,
nnd put the club In my bedroom and sctit
down.
"I then took my father's rlfie, which was
always hung up in my room leided, nnd I
stepped out of my bedroom around te
father's, and, his deer being open, I put the
gun te his l.ice and fired. I Immediately
went back for my club, knowing that I
would net huve time te lead the gun. I
get the club, nnd when I get back te the
deer mother was upon the fioer nnd stoop steep
ing ever. I thought she was looking ut
father, who lay en the' Iren t slde of the

MONTANA'S MUDDLED ELECTION.
Publle Opinion Checks the Republicans
lu One of Their Schemcs.
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

play from the beginning te the end,
with plenty of bright wit nnd humor. The
characters nre forcibly drawn nnd the dia
logues bright nnd clean. As fnr as the

that it was under the management of

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.

te the chair te beunce the protheuotiiry
from the room. They said he was net
from the " Nerse " and had no biisiness
there. The chair decided that his late ad

hustled out Inte the entry nmldst the
greatest confusion. The meeting was net
further disturbed, nnd alter the ndjourn ndjeurn ndjourn

His speech was ngaln cul short by some
