Destruction of Darter's Elevator. The "fire fiend'' swooped down on the Darter Elevator near the Big Four track on South Grant Avenue last night about half past 9 o'clock, and in a very short time completely destroyed it. The fire is supposed to have been communicated by an engino from a passing freight train. In the ware house was several hundred bushels of corn, GOO bushels of wheat, and also some flour, all of wliicn was destroyed, together with a largo number of sacks for grain. Two freight cars on the side track near the building were burned. Sparks from the fire were carried to two houses south, soon they began to burn, but by prompt work were soon extinguished. There was some insurance on the building, but as it is Mr, Darter's loss will bo from 53,000 to $4,000.

Anecdote of Oaptain Herron. Tho visitof John Calercott, the colored prophet, to his homo at Lebanon, Tenn., recalled to Will P. Reed an interesting reminiscence.

Captain Herron was one of the Seventy-second Indiana, as also was Mr, Reed, of this city, and Calcercott was an interesting charactor to every momber of tho regiment. When tho war closed Calercott took up his abode in Lebanon, Tenn., and resided there until he came here several years ago. One day Mr. Reed wanted some work done and ho employed Calercott., whereupon a conversation arose about the war. Calorcott remarked that he would be so glad to moot a member of the old Seventy-second, and especially his old friend Captain Herron. Then came about a recognition between the two,-and both were happy in tho discovery they had made. Mr. Reed told

Caiercott that his old captain lived in Crawfordsville, and tho next day the colored prophet jurneyed to tho lloosier Athens in a transport of joy. Thoir happiness at meeting was mutual.
