The days for trick and fraud have bad

On Saturday President Hayes gave a re

Good again, say the people. Washington

Town dogs go to the country near town
nd kill sheep. Whrn the owner asks you
to shoot the dog that was engaged in the
killing, or keep him chained, it is a cheap
way of getting off. and the request should
be kindly cob plied with, and a silent
"thank yon, that yon have not requested
me to pay for the heep," thrown in.
"The loan advertised for br the Com
missioner of Chester connty, ha been a

000 at 6 per cent., and have received offers
for $200,000. Ofthis $140,000 was changed
from 6 to 5 per cent by the holder of the
old bonds. Some $70,000 was by new ap
plicants." A strong dream of clear cold water rip
ples out from under one of the buildings of
the Elder tannery. If the place where it
springs from the ground bad a wall abofit it,
all the portion of the town adjacent thereto
cou'd be supplied with purer water -ban
any now in nse in town. In raw distast
vctcbc the stream or ipring mentioned will
dispute with Macedonia as to which shall
rapply Mifflia with water.
Alony Main street, at the corner of an
alley opposite the northwest corner of
Court Hons square, K. B. Parker built a
valuable and handsome business house
after the second great Are that devastated a
portion of the towa. The business bouse
is occupied by John W. Muthersbaugh as
dealer in hardware, and B. F. Kpner as
druggist, on first floor. They each also
hold possession of a portion of the second
story, which is partitioned in'o four rooms.
That portion of the npsuirs above Kepner's
drugstore is partitioned by folding doors.
That portion of the upl:iirs above Mothers
baugh's hardware store is partitioned by
an ordinary partition of studding lathed
and plastered. The room back of the par
tition is occupied by Mr. Uutherbaiigh.
The front room is occupied by Ex-Sheriff
Loudon as a merchant tailoring establish
ment. Between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock
on Ucnday night Mr. Krpner stood at a
desk at the rear end of bis drag store en
gaged at work. While So engaged, his at
tention was .irawu by a peculiar ticking noise,
such as is sometimes uiaUe in summer-liuie
by inaectsi So peculiar and out of season
seemed the noise that he qait work and
p-ocreded to took it up. lie listened at
tentively, almost with suspended breath,
but could not locate the sound in the room.
Satisfied, boa ever, that it must lie in the
bouse-, he hastened To the stairway that
leads to the upstairs from the drug store
Standing at the uoor be listened, but there
the sound could not be heard. Closing it
qiickiy he hastened to the cellar door, and
as be opened it and looked down its stair
way, a bright strip of light that stretched
clean acros the ceiling of the passage
greeted his eager eyes, and with the eager
ness that no man whose house ha uot been
on fir can kuow he leaped dowu the stair
way, expecting to find tire in the cellaf . To
bis amazement there su no fire there.
Mounting a store-box be looked thiougb a
crevice or opening across the wall into Mu
thersbaugh' cellar, but it was dark as
darkness coulj be. Hushing bark to the
stairway, be was again cool rented by the
bright strip of light against the ceiling of
the stairwsy. Hastening up the stairway to
the entrance to the store room, be paused
there long enough to lay his hand against
the plastered ceiling, and to his consterna
tion it was quite warm. That was enough.
He ran across to Will's hotel and there gave
the a!arm. A. H. Will and O. P. Robison
took it up, and soon the town was again
undergoing the fire alarm excitement, that
has a terror about it that is beyond expres
sion. Men hastened to the buildii g that
was said to be on fire, but no Are could be
seen, bat jet of smoke were curling out in
places, and a strong odor peculiar to fire
that ia out of place tilled all that part of
the town. Men in passing that point before
the alarm was given smclled it.
By those at the scene first it was rightly
conjectured, that the Are must bi in the up
stairs, somewhere above the hardware store.
To get at it was the next object considered.
The door to the upstair i from the front was
locked. It waa speedily bioken in. The
duor to Mr. Loudon's apartment was broken
in at the head of the stairway, while at the
same time other parties, by placi.ig a lad
der to a window, entered the same room;
bnt uo tire g veUd their entrance. Nothing
but a dense auiuke prevailed. A touch ot
the partition between the apartments of Mr.
Loudon and Mr. Muthebugh satisfied
those present that lire raged then . Axes
were procured and an opei ing in the parti
tion made, which revealed a racing fire.
By the time the place of the fire waa dis
covered water was being rushed to the
place threatened with destruction, and
poured into the buruing partition, while at
the sauie time a line of men Was lo. med to
the roof where other men were busy cut
ling openings through the tin and other
material that constituted the roof, through
which to pour water. A line ol citizen
was formed up through the Yeakley build
ing and water com eyed to tbv burning
bouse. The vigorous work of the cititeaa
subdued the fire, alter a struggle of per
haps three-quarters of an hour.
'I ha .in roof on the house Was a great
assistant in keeping the fire in. If it haj
not been for that, in all probability, the tire
would have made greater progiess, for it is
sppareut to one looking oh the place of de
vastation that the upward escape or the hie
Iroui the partition was arrested by lh- beavy
tin roof. How the fire g it into the parti
tion is a question for numerous conjectures.
The building was a good deal damaged by
openings in the roof, by the fire in the par
tition and woodwork of the roof, and by
water. Tbe seams iu ibe tin of the roof of
the Yeakley building were also somewhat
damaged by the carrying of wjtrr across it.
Tbe peculiar ticking noise that Mr. Kro
ner heard, and which led to the timely dis
covery of the fire, was doubtle.-s made by
the tire, and the strip of light that lay across
the top of the cellar stairway was made by
the fire raging in tbe partition at the land
ing of the stairway leading from Main street,
made by reflation downward between the
plastering or ceiling of the cellar stai. way
from the Kepner store to a point or opening
wh'-re the plastering ended.
The night was quite favorable for the
subjugation of a lire. A great calm pre
vailed, and there was a tall of snow and
rain mingled, which dampened every object.
