FKANKM.V, I'a., Nor. il.—At J:O0 o\*loek Thursday afternoon the eonnty aim-house, situaied at Sugar ('reek, 4 mile* north of this city, took tire. All the mean* at hand were used to handle the lire, but without avail, and the tire departments of Oil City and Franklin were sent to the scene by special train, but the fire had grained such headway that they could do little. The building was almost totally destro3'ed. together with its content*. There were some terrific scenes. About 100 inmates were in the institution. Many of them we're helpless or worse, and the rescue of these poor creatures was accomplished with great diflicultv. Had it not been for the prompt, vigorous and courageous methods adopted in many eases there would have been lives lost. The ground was covered with snow and a bitterly cold wind was blowing, enough to chill the people, who were warmly clad and able to roist it. The ill-clad paupers, many of them feeble and ailing, suffered dreadfully.

The tire was first discovered in the second story and its origin is unknown. When the alarm was given and the people who came early to the rescue rushed into the building to begin the removal of the inmates many of the unfortunates resisted fiercely the attempts to take them from thoir warm quarters out into the winter weather. They could not be made to understand that they would be roasted alive if they did not get out, and there were struggles to overcome some of the more ablebodied initiates and carry them out by force.

The building- was valued at $200,000 tnd was insured for $.Vj,000. The fire is believed to have been incendiary. There have been reports sent, out that several of the inmates had been burned in tho building, but the superintendent said ThurSflaj' night that every inmate had be*u accounted for and that there were no fatalltien or even severe injuries among thera.

Taylor, dcm., candidate for secretary of Mat'', charges fraud, hut makes no ^peciheation*. At democratic headquarters the claim is made that flx^n at hand indicated a small democratic plurality. Tuey said: "We think it proper to await the ufRoial count for the ttnal result. In ju*UctMo our party friends and the public *.\e hope, they will have confidence with us to awail the pfilcial count.

The committee Is c'a min£ OA) plurality. The republican committee also claims the selection of the presidential electors,- although Taylor, rep., runs a little ahead of Harrison."

Tho democrats have elected eleven and the republicans ten congressmen, the former carrying live repubSifsn districts, the tub. 14th, ltith, 18th and tllst, and defeating A*hl\v, G. Johnson, Poorman, Morgan aud Hodge, the republican candidates.

As an instance of the striking variations in the vote in Ohio from that of iuM year the ofllcial vote of Licking county is interesting. It is: Harrison.

In fart.the company's rules are so strict that when trains enter station yards if. they are not under such absolute control as to be brought to a stop..':! before striking another train, ov«n through accident to switches nr any-, thing else, heavy penalty attaches t.o/&i the employes guilty of violating them.

No report has been made as to whether they were placed under arrest, but an investigation is being irnde. In the tiro one car-// load of barley and two carload* of merohandise were burned.

Doctors disagree. They have to. There are differences of opinion among the best there will be so long as knowledge is incomplete.

But there is one subject on which all physicians are completely in accord, and that is the value of cod-liver oil in consumption and scrofula, and many other conditions in which the loss of fat is.involved. And cod-liver oil has its greatest usefulness in Scott's Emulsion.

There is an interesting book on the subject sent free.
