The alarm of fire was sounded at 4 o'clock this evening, and proved to be the house of John Hoffman, in the glass works addition, the fire started in the kitchen from an over-heated gas stove Most of the household goods were saved. There was $700 insurance on the house but nothing on the furniture. The Fire Department was throwing water in fifteen minutes from the first alarm.

Last evening as Miss Cora, daughter of Ed Martin, living near Curry's, Chapel, who attends school here, was driving to the South school building after her sister, Miss Quey Martin, who teaches there, the horse became frightened by the cars near Huston's livery stable, and after backing a short distance, reared up aud fell over a pile of stones, breaking the shafts of the buggy, but doing no further injury.

Marriage Licenses.

Frank J. Williams and Lillie A. Grunden. Nelson E. Bradley and Jessie A. Martindale.

Pipes liursted.

During the fire Thursday evening the water pipes in John Loehr's barber shop were bursted. The bursting was caused by the opening and closing of a stop-cock when the heavy pressure was on. It was probably unthoughtedness on the part of one of Mr. Loehr's barbers in using water when the heavy pressure was on and will no doubt be a lesson to others. Besides there is an ordinance prohibiting any one from using water for domestic purposes during a fire.

Over at Greenfield the energetic citizens are pushing things pretty lively for the location of more factories. They are considering the best means of holding what they have and also devising a way to secure new ones.—Knightstown Banner.

The great strike in Brookly, N. Y. which Las been on for the past two weeks, seems to be on the wane, and the chances are that by morning, cars will be running on all the lines which have been tied up. No one has been gainer in this strike, all which goes to show that strikes, when attended by riots, do not help those who engage in them.

The Brooklyn strike is nearing Its end It has ended like all other strikes—nothing gained for the strikers. These strikes are not beneficial to strikers, and gives them a bad name. If only strikers participated it would be different, but when bums of other cities come in it does not help the strikers' cause, but is a detriment to their cause.

OPINIONS OF BUSINIfiSS MEN.

As to the Way iu Which the Fire Department Conducted Itselt at the Fire Yesterday.

Considerable fun was made of our fire department at the burning of John Hoffman's house yesterday in the glass works addition. It is always the case, when something new is being tried, for some experts to give orders and tell how it should be done. These "experts" were very numerous yesterday at the fire and made themselves conspicuous by trying to be "funny" at the expense of the gentlemen who compose the fire department. A REPUBLICAN reporter made the rounds of our prominent business men to-day and found the majority of them giving high praise to Chief Cosby and his men. For the benefit of our readers, we give the opinions of various business men and citizens in regard to the work of the fire department yesterday.

Ham L. Stricklands says—I watched the department and think they did exceedingly well for beginners. Think Cuief Cosby is a cool-headed man and understands his business.

Arthur Wiikins—They need another horse. Think they did remarkably well for their experience, have no complaint to make.

Postmaster Lewis—Of course the horse had no experience, but I have seen horses do worse. Think the department is all right. They did good work yesterday.

Taylor Morford—Of course I can't say much, but think the department did well. If the fire had occurred when we had the big snow, the horse couldn't have pulled the load. Need another horse. The men did well.

Frank Hammel—If the city had had one half the lay out last spring, I would have saved my store. The boys did good work and I am glad a fire department has been organized.

W. W. McCole—Think the boys did excellent work. Have no complaint to make.

Dick Curry—Done excellent work. J. Ward Walker—Didn't see them but heard they done good work.

Steve White—The boys did good work. Need auother horse. E. P. Thayer, Jr.—As individuals I have nothing to say. As a company I think they need drill.

Harry Hume—I think the boys did well. They need another horse. M. C. Quigley—Wasn't here, but heard the boys did well.

M. A. Fry—Did good work. J. W. Cooper—Think the boys did good work.

Harry Strickland—I was at the fire and know the boys did good work. From the foregoing it will be seen that nothing but praise comes from our citizens. This shows that the department is doing good work, and are not entitled to the abuse showered upon them yesterday. When it is remembered that the fire was more than a mile from town, it will be seen that the department not only responded quickly but did good ^ork when they got to the fire.

Daily, Saturday, Jan 26.

Two of F. G. Banker's children are sick with measles. Miss Ruby Martin left to-day for a short visit with Crawfordsville friends.

Rushville American: So far Rushville has been blessed by not having a gas explosion. The flow is too light to explode.

R. A. Smith, of Indianapolis, was here to-day visiting his brothers, Dr. A. J. and M. T. Smith and looking after business.

Miss Ora Dill, one of Greenfield's charming young ladies, is the guest of Miss Aona Jones, of this city.—Rushville American.

City Treasurer Smith and wife went to Dublin this morning and will spend Sunday with their son, Rev. Chesteen Smith and wife.

Joseph Low, of Danville, 111., an uncle of Mrs. W. W. Webb, returned to his home to-day, after a short stay in this city. Mr. Low has been looking for a farm, as he intends making this county his future home.

While coming up town this morning, Mrs. Harry Strickland slipped and fell in front of Dave Scott's restaurant on South State street and sprained her ankle. While no bones were broken, it will be sometime before she can walk.

To-day Attorney R. A. Black received $103 from the Pennsylvania railroad company on account of the damages received by a horse Tom Stuart was shipping from here to Piqua, O., last fall. The horse was owned by a Mr. Cosgrove, of Cambridge City, and the money paid on a compromise.

This morning D. H. Goble attempted to light a gas jet. and in doing so, broke the pipe near the ceiling. The gas came down in a strong flow and ignited. In attempting to put out the blaze, Mr. Goble burned his hands badly. Fortunately the fire was put out before any damage was done to the property.

Lieut. S. V. Ham, of this city gave a theater party at English's Opera House. Indianapolis this afternoon to see that great spectacular performance, "Aladdin Jr.," by the American Extravaganza Co. His guests were Mrs. E. P. Thayer, Jr., and Mrs. J. A. Wells, of Greenfield, Miss Blanche Brown of Indianapolis and Miss Hinchman, of Knightstown.

Julius Melton, who has been working at D. H. Goble's printing office, had both of his hands badly lacerated this morning. He undertook to take a paper from the cylinder of the press while in motion, and one of his hands was pulled into the press. In trying to extricate his right hand with his left hand, both were pulled under an iron rod and bruised up considerably. The press was stopped before any bones were broken, but the bruises are very painful. Dr. N. P. Howard, Jr., dressed the wounds.

This morning James O'Donnell, living four miles northwest of here, lighted a gas fire in a grate and then retired again. The wind was so strong it blew the fire out. Mrs. O'Donnell got up to light it again, and without thinking to turn the gas off, struck a match. The gas being blown out into the room was ignited and lier night dress and underclothing set on fire. She was badly burned across the stomach and breast, as were also her hands, before the fire was put out. She had a close call for a very serious, if not fatal burn.

R. A. Black was called to Cumberland yesterday to defend Elbert Holding and Charley Hatch, who were arrested on a charge of malicious trespass prefered by Mr. Gale, a miller, on account of the boys disconnecting his gas service pipes. The case was continued and a change of venue will be taken. Holding and Hatch were acting under orders from the Central Indiana Gas Co., and disconnected the pipes of all the former patrons of the National Gas Co. who refused to contract with the Central Co. From what we learn the workers had a rocky time, as it was war from Greenfield to Cumberland.

The first section of the Eastern Star entertained the other members of the order at the Masonic Hall last night, by rendering a drama entitled "Our Boys." The entertainment was greatly enjoyed by the members, who highly complimented the "actors." Those taking part in the cast were: Ray Geary, Will Hough, Harry Hume, Enos Geary, Wm. G. Smith and J. M. Larimore, and Misses Borgia Barnard, Jennie Duncan, Mrs. S. S. Boots and Mrs. J. M. Larimore. After the entertainment elegant refreshments were served and a general social time had by the members.

Harry Strickland and Will E. Huston aje now lessees of Masonic Hall. The house is under the management of the latter and we predict that if our people show a disposition to patronize good entertainments they can now have tliem. By special arrangements with the La-badie-Rowell combination, they have been secured for Thursday and Friday nights of next week. This company has been playing larger places this season and making only one night stands. They will appear here in Goethe's great masterpiece "Faust" and "Miraldo, the Creole," both new and grand plays for Greenfield. Manager Huston has rented a room over the Herald office where he will be at home to his friends.

Disgraceful Action of the Bloomington Slilitia—They Lose Friends by Their Uiotous Acts.

BLOOMINGTON, IND., Jan. 28, 1895. EDITOR REPUBLICAN:—Last Friday was a day that will long be remembered by the students of the University. Governor Matthews, W. D. Owen, Secretary of State, over forty members of the Legislature, two Congressmen, three ex-Con-gressmen, the mayor of Indianapolis, the president of the University of Michigan, and more than a hundred persons whose reputations are not confined to State lines, were present. All of these came to witness and take part in the dedication of the new college building "Kirkwood Hall."

The State papers have written a glowing account of the proceedings, though not impartially.

The question of removal had not entirely died out In the minds of many of the students, and they secured "removal badges," which they wore, so their sentiments might be known.

At 1:30 p. m. the procession including the Governor, visitors and students, headed by the militia, moved toward the old college chapel, where the exercises were to be held.

At the entrance of the building, the militia were drawn up on either side, holding their arms at a "present," allowing the procession to pass through double file. The law students headed the procession of the students, following them in succession were the seniors, juniors, sophmores and freshmen. Many of the seniors and juniors passed through unmolested, but when the sophmores and freshmen passed through, the militia crossed their bayonets in front of them, and tore their "removal badges" from their coats, and if none were in view, they tore open the students' overcoat to see if any were hidden within.

When any student refused to submit to any such examination he was knocked down and often abused as he lay helpless at their feet even the lady students were not allowed to pass through without notice, many of them had their badges torn from them, though they suffered no other abuse.

In not a single instance can it be shown that the student was the first to raise his hand.

Friday night, indignation meetings were held denouncing the action of the militia and the citizens of Bloomington for upholding them in their lawlessness.

The "Militia was supposed to act as a "Guard of Honor" for the Governor on this occasion, but instead, they acted in disgrace to themselves and to this great commonwealth.

The students have petitioned the Governor to investigate the action of the milt!a, and have also decided to proceed against each member individually they feel as though they had some rights during their sojourn in Bloomington and will begin at once to punish their aggressor.

Instead of its being a "red-letter day in the history of this honored University city," it was a day, the proceedings of which will hasten the removal of the University to the capital, more than anything that has been done since its foundation. A STUDENT.

We take pleasure in publishing the above from one of Hancock county's students at the University.

A Fast Ride.

A boy at the I. & Y. depot, a few days ago hitched his sled to the rear coach of a passenger train and when the train pulled out the boy and sled sped down the track between the rails at a rapid rate. It was a daring and dangerous ride and all persons who saw it looked on with amazement. When the lad had ridden to near the Barnard Sanitarium, he loosened one end of his sled rope and the ride suddenly ended. He looked around with an air of importance and with a peerless tread he disappeared up the street with his sled under his arm ready for a coast down Cunningham's hill.—Martinsville Reporter.

What Came Of Finding a Nicuei.

Last week a merchant in one of our neighboring towns, while sweeping out his store found a nickel on the floor. He put the following notice in his window: "A sum of money found on last Thursday in this establishment. The owner will receive the same within upon stating the amount." Over two hundred people called and announced the loss of money. Their respective losses ranging from $ 1.50 to $1,600. No one claimed the loss of a five cent piece. Many of those who called spent more or less money in the store before leaving. All of which proves the old adage that honesty is the best policy.—[Exchange.

You are a world's wonder. God has given you a wonderful gift indeed the greatest of all gifts. .Your correct understanding in my case gave me unbounded faith in you at the start.
