A $2,000 Damage Suit-

Mr. Wm. Heffernan, of the Nutt Hotel, through his attorneys, Davidson & Courtney, has brought suit for damages against the Crawfordsville electric light and gals company and names the amount of his damages at $2,000. The trouble seems to have originated in this manner: LaBt March for a period of fifteen days, the Nutt House which is on the 12 o'clock circuit of the electric light works was supplied with carbons which ran only until nine. From this time until twelve, gas had to be used in consequence raising the gas bill $9 for that time. The light company, however, refused to allow over $1.25 and Mr. Heffernan refused to pay $7.65 difference. The matter ran on untii last Monday night with all bills settled except that of the month of March, when the bill for that month was again presented and payment very properly refused, About 8 o'clock of the same evening, the lights in the hotel were cut off, and then ensued a great scrambling for candles, lampB, etc. Mr. Hefferman paid the bill On Tuesday under protest and the great hotel is ablaze once more.

Tuesday's Fire.

Shortly before 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, the grocery of Zack Williams on EastWabash avenue, was discovered to be on fire. An alana was at once sent in and the fire department responded promptly, but the building was too far gone wbeu they arrived and it was burned to the groutid, A portion of the stock was saved, but the loss on building and stock will amount to about $800. There was $600 insurance, $250 cm the stock and $850 on the building. The fire seems to have been incendiary, as no fire had been near the building this summer.
