Owners of lots should always build their fences and sidewalks with reference. to some grade of the street they front on. The public square might also be cleaned of those hitching posts, enclosed and -made some use of as a park. At the same time it would put an end to the playing of ball thereon, ‘and would not necessitate the buying of new window lights every fall to put in the place of those knocked out by the boys trying to paste their balls against the school building. ! : :

+ FIrRE—On Thursday, about half an hour before sundown, Mr. John Kinney, living 214 miles north-east of tliis place, discovered that his residence was on fire. The alarm was given, but the devouring elemént had too much headway and could not be got under control, and in a very short time the building, with contents, was burned to the ground. Nothing of any account'was saved. The origin of the fire was, no doubt, owing to a defective flue; there being no fire in any of the stoves at the time, nor for two hours before the flames were seen.- Mr. K. places the loss between $2,800 and $3,000. Insured for $1,400. L e r—————— Columl;ia City Items. .

Our Sheriff took in a couple of new boarders last Tuesday. They broke into a store at Larwell, on Monday night, and made a temporary escape; but were finally captured seven or eight miles north of that place, and were brought here and locked in for keeps. Nothing of any importance was found upon their persons eiccept, a couple of revolvers, a. jack knife or two,and two pairs of boots,which were stolen. at Columbia City, on Sunday night. As soon as the boots were recognized they cut the tops-off, but only to make it look more suspicious. They are both young men and apparently desperate characters. i Base ball is on the decline ; too warm. - Our Town Council has purchased asecond-handed hook and ladder truck, from the authorities at F't.

Last Saturday evening there was a meeting at the Court House, for the purpose of organizing a military company.

The new Lutheran church is now under way for certain. The masons, are at work laying the brick. When done it will be a beautiful structure.

- The saddest of accidents transpired here on Thursday evening, the 9th inst., by which ayoung man, Franklin Relhrer, lost his life instantly. Mr. ‘Joel Rfehrer, the father of the deceased, wanted a well dug and engaged a Mr. Baumgardner to do the work. Arriving at a depth of 40 feet no water could be found nor any indication of ever finding water at that place, the coilcluslon was arrived at to abandon that spot and try another place. The working tools being at the bottom of the well the deceased volunteered to go down and get them. On being cautioned by Baumgardner, the well digger, that the well contained the usual poisonous gases, he replied by saying he might just as well die in this well asany other place. Not heeding the advice, he was let down-in a tub fastened to a rope and proceelled onward to his death journey. Arriving at the bottom he proceeded to put the tools in the tub and placing himself 'in it was pulled up about 5 or 6 feet, the correct distance cannot be stated, when he fell overboard, suffocating, to death by foul sulphurous gases. (Dr. Jos.. Hadley and others soon arrived at the'spoet to render such assistance as was in their power.— Every available method was tried, but without success, to save the young ‘man in peril. Dr. Hadley himself volunteered to go down, but after Being down 15 feet, the poisonous g:fses effected him so that he became uncongeious, and was taken outfilgaih. Some time was spent in dispelling the poisonous gases, and after using bellows, to place pure air in the well, the body ‘was recovered by means of hooks fastened to the feet of tlie unlucky young man.- The quantity of foul air was so large that, on procuring a kettle filled with aleohol and setting it on fire, it ‘would go out six feet from the top. — The accident shocked the whole community, as Frank was beloved ' by all and despised by none. He was employed in the blacksmith shop of W. D. Carver and was the best workman he had at the time. He was but little over 29 years old. The funeral took place on Friday morning, and was attended by a large procession, Rev. E. Einsel, of Kendallville, conducting the services. The remains were interred in the Evangelical Lutheran cemetery. ‘The unfortunate young man will long be remembered by.all, especially by his former associates, who always found him to have a spotless character, industrious and honest, -and will ever try to imitate him. v The Baltimore, Pittsburgh & Chicago R. R. track has-been laid to within one-half mile of the east part of town: The construction train left one week ago to lay the balance of track at or. near St. Joe river, connecting with the eastern gang at the Maumee river, which will occupy about two weeks, after which they will proceed west: ward on to Albion. The Albion people are quite jealous over the fact that we have the railroad first. If they have patience they shall have a railroad in about two months. A number of Albionites wereover tosee the railroad a week ago, and for joy they, could hardly speak, such was the effect of seeing cars marked B. & O. R. R. - Rev. Geo. A.

; CROMWELL, 1 This morning opened up with a great deal of bustling, and by sunrise the population of our village was greatly decreased. Teams were loaded down with men, women and children, with baskets, buckets and tubs, all for the huckleberry marsh. The farmers in this locality are about all done cutting wheat, and some of them are hauling it into their barns,and some are plowing corn. Reports frem all over the country indicate that corn, oats and wheat were never better. Fruit of all kinds in abundance. :

~ On Sunday evening last, Mr. Preston Miles, from Milford, met with quite ‘anaccident while passing through this place. His horse became frightened at a hog lying at the side of the road, and made a few vicious jumps, when the seat of the buggy gave way, precipitating his wife and little boy to the ground. Both wereslightly injured,land their clothing was badly torn. All those having an investment in that kind of apimals are advised to keep them u? pens, where they belong. : A Sunday school pic-nic is being talked of, to be held on the east bank of the Nine Mile Lake. Several séhools_,will be invited to participate on that occasion. S

One of our young gents, of this place,while attending the*“lnternational,” at Ligonier in the evening,lost a silver watchand chain,or had it stolen. He would be glad to have it returned, and perhaps would pay a liberal reward., .

© We expect. to commence talking politics in a week or two, or, at least, as soon as we find out to which party we . belong. I presume Rome and Kendallville will make that plain. - There will be Universalist preaching and a basket dinner in the grove, near this place, next Sunday. Everybody is invited to attend. s Daire, - Railroad Collision., . Special Report to the Banner. ! MiLFORD, IND. July 11.—The Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan Railroad issued special time cards for the 4th of July celebration, providing for the running of four trains each way. The roruning train going south passed this place all right and I reported it out on time. The train was heavily loaded, having twelve cars crammed with passengers and e¢rowds on top. ‘lt was conducted by M. B. Wells and reached Warsaw safely. From Warsaw they again pulled out, expecting to pass the extra from the south at Silver Lake as directed by the time card, They now had probably not more than forty or fifty possengers aboard, and when within three-quarters of a miile of Silver Lake what was their consternation at beholding the extra, coming at a good rate of speed around a very sharp curve (the most abrupt curve on the road) at a distance of not more than two hundred 'fget’. The extra was heavily loaded, having on board delegations ' from Fort Wayne, Logansport, and other points. As soon as the situation was‘discoveré;d, the engineers sounded brakes. :uld reversed their steam. DBut it was too late and in a moment the trains eame together with a fearful crash, throwing its human freight here and there at will. :

Among the injured are, Mr. Judson, engineer on the train south, who had one knee and leg frightfully mangled; the fireman on same train had his back sprained and leg hurt; John Casey, hands badly bruised. Several other persons were injured more or less, but none as seriously as Mr. Judson. %

* Tim. Casey was conductor on the extra and his brother, John Casey, was breaking. = Conductor Casey acknowledges that he is at fault, and explains that, in running over the time card, he got his passing figures opposite Claypool and thought that was his passing place. It was an unfortunate misunderstanding for Tim. The cars were smashed up badly. It took two new engines to pull the old ones apart, and considerable of prying besides.. The loss to the company is estimated at $15,000. . Everybody acquits Mr. Wells and his men, as that train was running on its own time. 5 .

Last Thursday (July 9th) portions of the wrecked engines were taken to Elkhart for repairs. The fronts were entirely knocked out of both engines, and great pieces of iron and steel were twisted and broken into all manner ‘of shapes. sl ‘ Some of the passengers were thrown from thirty to forty feet into the mud and escaped unhurt. -Itis a wonder to everyone that no more were hurt, and taking all things into consideration, it was considered rather a lucky smash-up. A : If the train going south had kept all the passengers they had on board when they left here, what the consequences might have been no one can tell: T sold over two hundred -tickets at this station, nearly all for Warsaw. The excursionists did not return until the next morning at three o’clock. These are the facts as near as can be given, for I was in my office all day and knew of the collision in five minutes after it occurred. 'I heard all the reports about it, both by telegraph and otherwise. ° J. P. SMITH, : P Agent and, Operator.

Gravel Roofs That Will Not Leak, SRR\ desires to call the attention B' CA}j FE& of the public to the fact that there have been but two genuine gravel roofs put up in the town of Ligonier, one of them 17 and the other 3 Iyea.rs ago. These roofs are all that is claimed for them.and should not be classed with a somewhat similar but vastly inferior process of roofing lately introduced in this town. Mr. Caffey having gained a thorough knowledge of putting on gravel roefs that will not leak and are very durable, respectfully solicits a trial and guarantees entire satisfaction. For proof of this he refers, with permission, to Tix ForsyTur and W. A. Brown, Ligonjer, Ind.
