ROCKVTLLB'S BIG FIRE.
The Harrison and Hodgson Blocks Swept Away, with a Loss of $18,000—Considerable Insurance.
One of the worst fires in Rockville's history broke out in the south room of the Harrison block at 1:30 Thursday morning.

Owing to the incipient fire, protection there aid WBB telegraphed forfrom this city and Terre Haute, which met with a ready response. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. In December 1892 the same district was burned. The blocks destroyed were only completed laBt fall.

Some of the Bcncficlent Results of Law*
SUltH. Alex McClure, of Waynetown, haB about concluded that it don't pay to go to law. The case of Gray vs. .McClure,' in which Alex was the defendant, was tried before a jury in Justice Overton's court on Monday. It was tried a few days before in a justice court at Waynetown where the jury hung on allowing the plaintiff $17.50, and no verdict was given. The jury on Monday went their Waynetown predecessors one better and returned a compromise verdict awarding the plaintiff $19.45. The amount asked for in the complaint was $60 and was for rent of a piece of land for years of 1881 and 1882. The plaintiff, Mrs. Daisy Gray, nee McClure, was then a minor heir to the land in question. The defendant claimed an offset for the account in repairing fencing, etc. The euit haB cost Mr. McClure just $80, an excess of $20 over the claim involved in.., the Buit.
It iB only four weeks from next Monday until our fifteenth annual fair. The fair haB grown in favor and popularity every year since ite organization, and with a constant lookout on the part o. the management for new and novel attractions there is no reason why this record should not be perpetuated. With luxuriant shade and a water supply unsurpassed in the country, it ie a delight, ful placejfor people to congregate. The attractions this year promise to equal, it not surpass any previous one. The cash premiumB amount to $8,000. Secretary W. W.Morgan is receiving many inquiries for cataloges, indicative of the interest already taken. This has been an abundant year on the farm, a factor that largely contributes to the success of these agricultural meetings.

Their Secret Dies With Them.
Just how Tom Slattery and Loren Cunningham happened to run into the log wagon last week in their midnight drive in the Sperry valley will doubtless always remain a mystery. Young Cunningham, the last victim of the horrible accident, died at the family residence on north Walnut Street at 10 o'clock Sunday forenoon. He never regained conscious sufficient to tell any of the cir* cumstances leading to their unfortuant deaths. He was 19 years of age. Rev. Fueon conducted the funeral service at 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, and two newly made graves have rendered keenly sorrowful two homes.
