John Lane's liquor repository on west Market street, was badly damaged by a fire that broke out about midnight Tuesday night. Tho llames did not take kindly to "fire water" and the brave fireman soon quenched the demon with something moro substantial. The Milwaukee Mechanics carried a risk of $300 on the joint.

Last October a teamster for Jesse Tomlinson was hauling a load of heading bolts over the dirt road, running west from the old sorghum factory on the Terre Haute road, south of tho city. At the foot of a little hill along tho Watson farm is a bridge about four feet high. The boards of tho bridge were not nailed and when tho teamster was in tho act of crossing, the boards slipped forward and let the wagon down through tho opening until the axels rested on the sleepers. The wagon was heavily loaded and said wagon was badly wrecked. The horses escaped with slight injuries. Mr. Tomlinson was out one day's work and repairs on wagon amounting in all to $12,60. He therefore filed a bill of that amount with the board of commissioners on Monday, which they will be compelled to allow, or stand a lawsuit.

Above the Ashes.

W aynotown has nobly risen from the ashes of last August's disastrous fire, anu is amply able to meet any reasonable demands that may be made upon it. Misfortune is often a blessing in disguise. The fire fiend may yet prove so to Waynetown. Although it worked a severe hardship to those whose business lay in tho path of tho 'seething destroyer, yet it cemented tho citizens together in closer ties of common sympathy and made them of one mind and purpose. That purpose is to show to the world that its citizens have courage to surmount the worst adversity and grow and prosper as the town has never done before. The condition for such growth and possibilities are there and THE REVIH,W expects to see the town move forward and take advantage of them. 1 here is said to be hardly a vacant dwelling in the place, and although eight new ones have gone up tho past year there is room for'moro. The burned district comprised some of the beBt business roomB, but most of them will be replaced by evenbettor ones beforethis time next year. When a REVIEW man was there on Tuesday a largo force of brick-layers wore buty at work on tho Zook building, to contain three large business rooms, and which are expected to be ready for occupancy by the first week of the new year. Hormeil & Henry the unfortunate hardware dealers,will occupy ono of them. The Odd Fellows have bought the ground and early next spring will begin the erection of a large two-story brick building on tho Bite of the livery barn that was swept away. The building will have two commodious business rooms below, while a largo and well appointed lodge hall will take up the entire second story.

Two handsome brick structures "have been the result of this year's work in the business portion. The Munn'B building is a $3,500 structure put up by Wm. Munns and the thriving K. of P., lodge. One of the ground floor rooms will be occupied by Mr. Munns with his grocery, while the other will be fitted up for the Taylor & Thompson drug Btore The valiant Knights hope to be able to dedicate their neat hall in the second story on Christmas night. The other new brick pile is the conerbank building, costing about $3,000 and heated by a large furnace that never fails to keep Cashier Rider and his highly competent accountant warm and healthy. A wide' vitrified brick walk flanks the building on two sides.

All Waynetown needs iB for its citizens to take advantage of the opportunities now open to them, and they give promise of doing it. And what they need right away to beget confidence and encourage capital iB a firo engine—neglect to be without such protection may lose them money.

That Famous Jim Bridge.

There is trouble in camp over that notorious iron bridge, and there iB likely to be more. Sid Speed was appointed superintendent of the construction of the two abutments by the board of commissioners. Not long after the work was begun James Waugh bought out the contractor and at once became both contractor and superintendent— in his mind.

It wasn't leng until Speed and Waugh locked hornB over the kind of stone to bo used. Waugh very much desired, for some purpose, to uoe Greensburg stone and he did it. Speed ordered him to use all that he could of the stone removed from the old abutments and then what was lacuing to be ordered from a different quarry to that favored by Waugh. Mr. Speed, by virtue of appointment by the board rightly took the position that the work should proceed according to his direction. But the chief point of contention,and that of which is of vital interest to the tax payers is in the price paid by the contractor for the stone purchased. Mr. Speed claims that the substructure will cost far beyond that contemplated in the beginning. Ho says by the time the bridge is completed ready for travel tho cost will run up somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000. Tho span or superstructure is to cost $5,000.

And so what will bo its final outcome of the hitch between tho [superintendent and contractor remains to be seen. Ono thing certain, the bridge will cost tho county more money than it should have done, and has also been a great annoyance to traffic in that direction, because of the slow progress made toward completing the substructure.

It is said that over eighty per cent, of the estimated cost of tho work has been paid out already, and the end is not yet.

Happily Wedded.

Charles B. Baylese and MisB Ellimmie D. Cummins of this city, were married at 7 o'clock last Tuesday evening by Rev. G. W. Stafford at his residence on E Market street.

53RD YEAR.—NO 15-

MRS. WILL T0WNSLLY SUIOIDilS

A Sharp Razor, A Steady Hand, and Life Is Over. A telegram received by Mace Townsley from his brother. Will, Danville, 111. early Thursday morning conveyed the, sad news that hisj wife, Kitty, had taken her own life about four o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The sad newB was a severe shock to a large circle of friends in the city among whom she wan held in the highest esteen. The weapon used was a sharp razor and life was soon over. Her husband, being over in Fountain county in the interest of tho Townsley music house, was soon at the bedside. It was only tho first of tho week that Will received a letter from hiB wife requesting that he bring over a few articles she needed, aB h6 expected to be in Danville on Friday. This was the last missive he received.

On account of Will being absent on the road most of the time, last September Mrs. Townsley decided to take their seven year old son and spend tho winter with her mother, Mrs. Hall, at Danville She had been in poor health for some time ana it was for this reason that she thought it best to be in company with her mother during her husbands absence. In her death the husband loses a wife whoes devotion to her family amounted to worship, and this city a talented musician and a favorite wherever she went.

The remains were brought to this city yesterday and laid to rest in Oak Hill.

.More Republican Inconsistency.Another striking illustration of the foolish carping of republicans over the suspension of pensions has lately come under THE REVIEW'S notice, it just shows how totally ignorant and inconsistent some of tho radical party men of that ilk really are. One year ago last April, William Ellis, of Waynetown, applied for an increase of pension under the new act of 1890. His application was returned with instructions from the department to repair to Lafayette and obtain a certificate. That being dono, he was further directed to appear before the examining board of this county. At the same time the department stated that he would be suspended for a period of sixty days pending the examination therein directed.

Bear in mind, now, that all this occurred during the Harrison administration, a fact to which Mr. Ellis will make affidavit at any time it is deemed necessary. And furthermore his suspension not only lasted sixty days, but dateB up to the present hour, unless the democratic administration has passed on his case sinco this paper went, to press. THE REVIEW only calls attention to this case to r.how wii what bold affront the republican party meets its own wrong doings, and how it seeks to shift responsibility by attributing every calamity to the democratic party. Good people are pretty equally divided in political sentiment yet, as they always wore, and likely to so remain.

Organized Charity.

The trustees and officers of the Relief Association held an enthusiastic meeting Monday evening. The work will be taken up in earnest and much good will surely result from it in tho way of aiding the deserving poor in our midst. The yearly membership fee waB placed at $1, and for ten years $10. The following soliciting committee was appointed: First ward—Mrs. J. P. Walter, A. C. Jennison, M. V. B. Smith, Second ward—Father Dinnen, D. O. Barnhill, Mrs. Robert Larsh Third ward-Mrs. T.H. B. McCain, J. II. Watson, J. R. Bonnell. An executive committee to canvass the city and get the names of those in need of assistance was appointed as follows: East part of the city—Mayor Bandel and Mrs. J. H. Watson west end W. II. Scott and Miss Lilly Coyle. Another mooting will bo held next Monday night.

Death of David Meharry

David Meharry, well known through western Indiana, died atjhis residence at Shawneo Mound on Tuesday morning last. He was over 85 years of age. He was of a family, we believe, of five brothere and a sister, who came to Tippecanoe county over a half century ago, settleing in the almost new country, tho Shawnee prairie. They were pushing energetic farmers, and all acquired considerable property. The deceased was tho father of Mrs. Elma C. Whitehead, who was one of the prominent figures in the well know Pettit trial. The funeral of Mr. Meharry took place at Shawnee Mound on Thursday morning.

For State Auditor.

A special from Indianapolis says: The democratic candidates for State Auditor are Joe Reilley, Joe Fanning, tha present deputy, and J. L. Goben. county auditor of Montgomery county. The former is most widely known throughout the State, and is said to have the in. Bide track."
