Its All Over Now—The Fair Ended Today. The Hancock County Fair closed its tenth annual session tcday. While it was not as successful as some previous ones, this one also may be called quite a success. The people were well pleased with the exhibits. Some departments were not as full as usual, but others were full so it balanced up even. There were not so many shows nor as many fakers of various kinds as formerly. These go 10 give a fair a lively appearance but they carry off lots of the peoples money, and we have been better off without them.

There was a very large attendance yesterday and also today. The rain of yesterday interferred with some fine racing which was postponed until today. The heavy track today made it slow, burit was just

Good Girl Gone.

Miss Addie, daughter of Elam J. Jeffries and wife, died at their home on Grove Street at one o'clock this morning from typhoid fever. She was one of Greenfield's brightest, prettiest, and most charming girls. For a number of years she has been clerking at the Department Store and wa? a most valuable and able assistant to Mr. Cooper. A girl of industry and excellent judgement, she was greatly beloved, trusted and relied upon by her parent. Her conduct had always been loving, kind and obedient that in aH her life she had never given her parents a moment's uneasiness or trouble. She was bom near Westfield, Hamilton County, Dec. 9, 1873, and will be buried from the home of her grand-father Jeffries at Cnrmel in the fatrnly lot in the Carmel cemetery Sunday, Her family have the sympathy of many friends.

A J'ereavetl a»ii Aillicteii Family. The family of E'aru JefFriei, living on Grove street, is iuueed sorely aifiicted. Their oldest daughter, Addie, died at one o'clock this morning from typhoid fever, and their youngest daughter, Effie, Is now down with the same disease. Miss Rose, another daughter, who is rather a large and heavy girl, was so unceasing in her attentions to her sister that her ankles gave way and she is now helpless. The sickness in the family is such that Mr. Jeffries will be compelled to go alone with the remains of the beloved daughter, Addie, to Carmel, for burial, as the other well ones of the family will have to stay at home to care for the sick.

The railroads are offering low rates to Indhviapolis for state fair week, on ac count of the state fair, and "A Night in Pekin" and other big attractions are being advertised. Th3 is the time to vi^it the city and everybody that goes shoul attend the fair. It is worthy of the support of every taxpayer in the state.

The state fair for 1S95 promises to be the best meeting in the history of the state. The large premiums offered and the liberal rules adopted will certainly attract a large list of exhibitors in all classes, insuring a most excellent and attractive thow. This is what the people want to see and the attendance is likely to be most satisfactory. The many attractions at Indianapolis during fair week and the very low railroad rates make this a splendid time to visit the state capitol.

DANCER TO CANALS.

Great Destruction Threatened in Ohio.

RESULTS OP THE DROUTH.

Scarcity of Water Causing: Anxiety to the

State Hoard of PQblic Works—Hut

Two Feet of Water in the Canal —A Gradual Rain Desired—The LSauks Bad

ly Cracked by the Sun.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 80.—The state board of public works is looking with not a little anxiety upon the low condition of the water in the canals. Chief Engineer Perkins states that i:i many places there is scarcely two feet of water, and that therefore a large portion of the banks are left exposed to the sun.

In consequence the banks are cracking badly. In some places the crevices are so large that a man can thrust his arm into them the full length to his shoulder. The result will probably be that when the rains come, as they are predicted, in torrents about the time of the September equinox, these cracks will be enlarged into groat holes and cause much damage to the canals. If the fall of rain comes«graduaily, thereby allowing the ground to soak up slowly, there is little danger, as the cracks in such an event would easily close up.

FATALLY SHOT.

An Attempt to Capture a 15arglnr Proves Very Disastrous.

NELSONVILLE, O., Aug. 30.—- The town was all excitement here this morning over an attempted burglary of Cable & Company's hardware store, and the fatal shooting of James Knight, in an attempt to catch the burglar.

The scheme to rob the store looks like a prearranged affair and was known to the officers. In consequence there were several watchmen around the store last night. At 1 a. m. a man supposed to be the leader of the gang, came up the alley at the side ot the store and broke a window. He then proceeded to enter, but before he had hardly got his head inside, James Knight, one of the watchmen, struck him over the head, knocking him out.

There were several shots fired, but the burglar escaped. Knight was fatally shot in the head, the ball entering his brain. It is thought he was shot accidentally.

Knight was employed as a clerk in the store, and was one of the bravest and most popular young men of Neisonville. .There is no hope of his recovery.

Charged With Murder.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 80.—A negro whose name is given as Earl Moore, but whose real name is said to be Wood, was arrested here yesterday on suspicion of having been implicated in a barroom murder in Cincinnati. It is said that Moore's father and another negro named Denbjr, living in Kentucky, had a feud which resulted in Denby killing Wood, Sr. l)enby fled, and the murdered man's son swearing vengence, has followed Denby from one city to another. While in Cincinnati, about a month ago, Wood and another man in a barroom row, killed a third party. Both escaped. Wood's identity was established by a photograph.

Filial Fire.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 80.— The home of Paul Alonski, on Devenuy avenue, was destroyed by fire last night and liis 5-year-old daughter Polly perished in the flames. In attempting to rescue the child Alonski was severely burned, and while looking for the body in the rooms Captain McKenzie of the fire department was injured by falling into a hole filled with burning debris.

Death From a Spider ISite.

NEW RICHMOND, O., Aug. 30.— Mamie Martin, 14, attended the Coney island harvest home Saturday and went home feeling well and hearty. During the night a spider bit her in the mouth and her fac^ began to swell. She suffered excruciating pain, and the doctors could do nothing for her. She died at midnight Wednesday.

Three Hundred Strike.

Two RIVERS, Wis., Aug. 30.—The employes of the Two Rivers Manufacturing company, comprising the crews of the sawmill and pail factories, over 300 men, struck Thursday because refused a general cash payday. The probabilities are that the 200 men employed in the company's chair factory will also walk out.

Partially liecognizod.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 30.—The man found murdered near Altoona, Pa., Saturday, last, is-supposed to be Conrad Doemling of this city. He disappeared about rwo weeks ago and it was thought he went to Altoona, where he had relatives. From the description given his wiie thinks the body is that of her husband.

Kefuseg to Talk.

AKRON, O., Aug. 30.—A Catholic priest, giving his name as P. J. McManus, and claiming to be pastor of a church in Cnicago, is under arrest here for alleged drunkenness. He refuses to talk.

lueu Again.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—Marie Burroughs, the actress, was granted a divorce in the superior court yesterday from her husband, Louis F. Massen, on account of the latter's unfaithfulness.

Big Strike fn London.

LONDON, Aug. 30.—Four thousand additional laborers have joined in the Dundee mill workers' strike. It is estimated that fully 30,000 persons are now idle because of this strike.

Sawed Their Way Out.

DANVILLE, Ills., Aug. 80.—Thomas Artz, William Owens. Thomas Monard and Henry Loudre broke jail Wednesday by sawing through the doors, grating and windows.
