W. McConnell is the new Manager for the “Decaturs.” The Decaturs go to Bluffton to day to play the “Invineibles” of that place. Our people are beginning to get in their winter’s supply of wood and coal. The good health throughout the country is remarkable for this season of the year. The Great Northern Indiana Fair promises to be the largest and best ever held in the State. Extra papers for sale this week at The Democrat office, containing the account of the fire. Just think of it—one hundred trotting and running horses, at the great Northern Indiana Fair. A great many men fail in business. Few succeed. And none are successful without advertising. A number of our citizens will witness the game of the Decatur and Bluffton nines to-day at Bluffton. The birds are unusually bad this season in destroying fruit, and especially so with the grape crop. The big conundrum in Decatur, which few care to answer is, do you know where I can rent a house? There were quite a number who carried awav goods in the excitement of the fire and so far have escaped It looks like a vast stretch of country from the Burt House to Stone s hardware, across the burnt district. Vacant lots were held at a hundred dollars a front foot in she burnt district, and.more buyers than sellers. Monroeville, the Democrat says, has thirty disconsolate widows living in that town, six of which are on one street. Call at The Democrat office when you come to town, and if you are not a reader of The Democrat already, subscribe for it. The best show of fine cattle in In diana ean be seen at the great North Indiana Fair, at Fort Wayne, September 25th to 29th. The boys had better go alow. It will be necessary for the new Marshal to distinguish himself, and he is probably “laying” for some of them. By reading the papers you will always know who is doing the business in any town. It will crop out one way or another—always. John Rupright, candidate for Commissioner, is inquiring about the navigation of Salt river. He is getting information for the benefitof his Republican opponent. One hundred of the best trotting and running horses in the I nited States will be at the great Northern Indiana Fair, at Fort Wayne, September 25th to 29th. Jim Fristoc will furnish the aew mayor with his receipt for getting fat. A proper amount of material corporosity is necessary to fill the position in an orthodox manner. Let every farmer give one day to improving his mind in fine stock by attending the great Northern Indiana Fair. The finest cattle and sheep in jhe West will be there. A. McW. Bollman is a granger of the first degree. His sweet corn and garden truck generally indicates this as The Democrat office can testify from experience. Friday last an ox team on the street was the occasion of numerous remarks. Twenty years ago there was almost as many ox teams used in the county as there were horse teams. Renewals of subscriptions are in order. Qnite a number of subscribers to The Democrat, who would not do without the paper, should give this their prompt attention. The Fire Department of Ft. Wayne, were called upon for assistance Monday night. They responded by sending an engine, but the fire was under control before they arrived. Those horse-trading fortune telling gipseys were on hand again last week. They had a gorgeously painted wagon with a bay window and were well fixed for the business generally. John Gluting threw off his coat and vest, in the pocket of which was a valuable watch and chain. This is the last he saw of the things. Several persons saw the party who took them. The Insurance adjusters are a happy set of fellows, because the west side of Second street did not burn. They are, most of them, liberal in adjusting losses, and quite a number have been already adjusted and paid.

WANTED.—A trusty boy of 1 16, for light work in my Cigar Facto A number of our young people w spend Sunday in Van Wert. Tire Mission services at the St. Marys Catholic Church closed Wednesday. Charley Weibling beat the city Council, building a butcher shop before they could establish the fire limit. Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Spangler leaves for Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo and Niagara Falls, to-day. They will be absent some two weeks. Rev. James Hunter, son of George Hud ter, formerly of Root township, will preach at the Presbyterian ehurch, Sunday morning and evening. The proceedings of the County Institute are not completed this week, be- . cause of the failure of the Secretary to furnish this office with a copy. Those weights used as hitching posts occasioned several runaways last week. It is very unsafe to hitch horses to them while flies arc so troublesome. Iliskey & Mangold report a booming trade in the furniture line. They carry a good stock, sell cheap and are of our pushing business men. Give them a call. Rev. C. A. Kanouse preached his farewell sermon Sunday. He expects to leave, this Friday for Anderson, Indiana., to take charge of the Presbyterian Church at that place. Delay not, but get ready to attend the best fair ever held in the State. Admission only twenty-five cents, and all entries, exceptspeed, free of charge. Seven thousand dollars in cash will be paid for premiums. The best base ball clubs in the State will play each day during the great Northern Indiana Fair held at Fort Wayne. Tell your neighbor and tell everybody that this fair will be the best ever held in the State. Mayor Merryman did his first important work Sunday night, by performing the marriage ceremony of Mr. Joseph Thomas and Miss Mary Lammerman. Tommie says it was shakey business, but he succeeded admirably. The Journal dares The Democrat to publish D. M. Allen’s letters to John M. Smith. This we were going to do until this dare—we never take a dare. And what is the Journal going to it? The subject at the M. E. Church next Sabbath morning will be The Foundation of the Church. In the evening the children’s meeting will be held which was so suddenly closed by the alarm of fire on last Sabbath evening. All are invited to attend. The burglars and sneak thieves who worked this town for the last year or more are taking a rest. It is well they did. They are all known, and there is now enough known to make it hot for them., if the grand jury gets on their tracks, as they probably will. Joseph Helm for Sheriff and David Lahman, for Commissioner in the Frst district is the extent of the Republican county ticket. They are the policy candidates. And policy is a great general when successful. The “key notes” are all different this year. Monday, Chas. A.Baker was arrested for the larceny of cigars at the time of the fire. He had a hearing before Esq. Bailey who held him to answci in the sum of S2OO. Tuesday he was rearrested for the larceny of a ham and held to answer in the sum of SIOO. There will be a Democratic meeting at the Court House Saturday night. The Hon. John E. Neff, of Winchester, and John M. Smith of Portland, Democratic candidate for State Senator, will be the speaker* Turn out and give them a good audience. The city Council established a fire limit Monday night. The territory embraces all that part, from the center of Front to the center of Third streets east and wett and from the center of Jackson to the center of Jefferson streets; north and south and area of six blocks. Mrs. John Brock celebrated her thirty-seventh birthday lastweek. There were a large number of relatives and friends present, and many valuable presents received. The Democrat office was remembered. Our crowded colums compelled us to be brief with the notice. Let the farmer, the business man, the banker, the baker, the candle-stick maker, and everybody remember that the Northern Indiana Fair, at Fort Wayne, will be the best ever held in the State and no questions asked. Make a note of this and do not fail to attend. Special rates, lower than ever before offered, will be given by the different railroads entering Fort Wayne, and you can go to this fair almost as cheap as if it was in your own town. Wiiat The Democrat Would Like To Have Seen. Ed. Wicks run when the alarm of fire was given. Some of our young . “bloods after the fire was over. John France carrying out his ryDan Donovan run the opposite di rection when the alarm was given. The “Knights of the cloth” “hussle when the alarm was given.

DECATUR CHICAGOED. A FORTY THOUSAND DOLLAR III.AZB. The Bum aide of Stroud Hlreel, from Viauroe <u JMadUon—One Sqare.« Swept Clean. Sunday night, about 8 o’clock a tire broke out in the second story of W. C. Erwin's Bakery and Restaurant, which speedily communicated to the adjoining buildings, and soon involved the entire block from Monroe to Madison street in one grand blaze of flame, and in one hour and a half the entire block was swept away. The buildings were of wood and dry. The wind from the north-east, increasing as the fiatm s arose, until blazing shingles and sparks fired buildings five squares away. In fact pieces of shingle, charred and burned were picked up two miles and a half from town. When the alarm of fire was sounded the people were at church. Large congregations at the were Catholic and M. E. Church, who were dismissed at the alarm of fire, and at once turned out to assist in saving the stocks of goods in the burning buildings. Through their exertions, almost the entire stock they contained was saved. Os course there was a large amount of damage in the way of breakage—and some pilfering—which was speedily checked by detailing a special police. In the rush, the goods were scattered promiscously in every direction, in spite of the direction of owners, as always occurs in and during such intense excitement. The people, however, worked with a will, though sometimes with mis directed effort, but deserve the thanks of all who were burned out for the aid received. At one lime, through the scarcity of water, it was thought that the west side of Second Street would be burned in spite of all efforts. The Odd Fellows’ building, Delk s two buildings, Spencer s and Dorwin s building were burning in a half dozzen places at a time. Men were stationed on the roof and at the windows of the different stories and fought as best they could, always using their water on the largest blaze. Carpets drenched with water had been stretched over the windows of the first and second stories of the I. O. O. F. building. The intense heat evaporated the watea, when they flashed like powder, it appearing at a short distance as if the. whole front was in flames. The carpet was detached, the windows smashed in and water thrown upon the blazing window casing. The cornice of the Delk’s building adjoining, at the same time burst in flames, which was speedily cut loose. In the mean time the fire on the opposite side had nearly spent its force, which encouraged the people to renewed exertion, which finally resulted in preventing the tire from spreading across the street. Although all along the entire line of the fire the heat had tired the glass fronts, or between the heat and the water and necessity of breaking the glass it had all been smashed and crushed in, while the wooden portion of the fronts were blackened and charred, so that a large portion of them will have to be re placed with new. The cause of the fire is involved in obscurity. It is believed, however, that the stove pipe which entered the chimney at the floor of the second story bad become detached, and that while using the stove in the evening a spark worked into the ceiling and was quietly burning a considerable time before it was discovered. The fire was almost under the gasoline stove, which was not not in use at the time, and and not noticed until the explosion took place, which jarred the building and was distinctly heard by many perpersons. There was a flash at the time of the explosion which seemed to proceed from the store room, though when entered no flames were perceptible proceeding from the stove. Simultaneous with the explosion the flames broke through the roof, when the alarm of fire waa sounded. the losses in buildings. Jesse Niblick, $2,000; F. W.

The buildings and stock on the west side of Second Street, the Adams county bank building and Jesse Niblick’s brick were insured. The total loss, buildings. $29,525; stock. $8,720; grand total, $38,745. NOTES. McKendry & Co., across the G. R. & I. R. R. were on fire several limes. Eatlian Huffman’s stable, John Niblick's residence, A. R. Bell’s livery sta» ble and several other buildings eaught from the cinders flying in the air. Johe Kiting & Co. removed a considerable portion of their goods. August Krechter removed his entire stock. The postoffice was removed to the publie square. Several other firms on the west side of Second Street commenced moving stocks. Peter Forbing moved about three days too soon. Jim Place was going to move the next morning. Horace Porter will not move into the place Place vacated in consequence of the fire. The damage on the west side of Second Street isin plate and other glass, scorched fronts and window frames. John Brock contracted for brick for a new building while the old one was burning. Business men were hunting for rooms to rent while the plains they vacated were in flames. Shafer Bros, and P. Forbing are having estimates made for new brick buildings. One half of the burnt district would be rebuilt this fall if brick could be had at a reasonable price. Bosse was thrown from the brick building by the Hook and Ladder boys while tearing the building down. The Fire Company’s ladders did excellent service on the west* side of Second Street. Without them it would have been hard to have saved that side. Herman Tetman exerted himself so that he was unconcious and in adangous condition Tuesday—better now. Bottenburg & Blossom have moved their shop into Esqr. Durbin’s room. Barkley & Steele moved in with Hen. Hite. Chas. Weibler into the saloon between the Burt House and Hiskey & Mangolds. John Miller’s baber shop is in the same building up stairs. Whipple & Loss# are up stairs over John Welfley's. Joseph Colchiu is in the front room of Theo. Kennedy’s. C. E. Albers and Son and Millen Burns will run a partition through the front of John King’s carriage factory, and occupy it for their business. Jim Place moved into the Allison & Studabaker building formerly occupied by Gates. Jocob Martin will occupy a portion of the Citizen’s Bank building. While the fire is a great loss and damage to our business interest, our people bear all cheerfully. The burnt district will soon be covered with new, better and safer buildings, and make a decided improvement in tie appearance of the city.

Last Friday while sawing down a tree near Monroe, Henry Winnes came near loosing his life. A portion of the top was dead, and as it fell came in contact with another tree, breaking off a portion of the dead top, a limb of which struck him on the side of the bead and nose, ijuring the bridge ofhis nose and side of his head. He was senseless for some time and hardly knew what he was about until some time after he was brought home. It was a narrow escape from death.
