THE REPUBLICAN.

A Jasper county Man’s Vaiuable Invention.

Mr. A. H. Arnold, an ingenious jyottngjaaa-o! BarUey township, r nas lately-take out a patent on an invention which promises to bring him in a fine sum of money. It is a simple but i ligenius contrivance to present telegraph and telephone ■wires from interlocking, and interrupting communications, during the prevalence of winds and heavy storms, a source of great annoyance and loss to telegraph and telephone com pan ies. We u nderstaud that Mr. Arnold has already been ottered $15,000 for his patent, and telegraph experts estimate its value, anywhere from the above sum way sip Into the hundreds of Ihonsauds. - - ■ .. 1....:.

From The New Orleans Exposition.

Editor Republican :—I saw a Rensjsdaer gentleman, Mr. Will Harding, last evening which reminded me of my friends and enemies at that place, so I thought to let them knew of my whereabouts. It is winter here now. Plenty of mud, mules, negroes, oysters, oranges, exposition visitors, confusion, green trees, gardens, &c. There are over 400 of us who came from Chicago last week. These are principally assorted teachers, who seem to be a wide awake set, bent more on. -sight seeing than the displaying of -either wealth pr gorgeous apparel, which they do not possess. The Exposition bids Mr to rival all previous enterprises of the sort, but as yet is incomplete. Public buildings are not up to the northern standard. The St. Charles hotel is considered .the finest and best, and of course there is where we are, next in importance is the Royal. W ill write again if time. , Celia Wilkinson.

How I Was Served.

To whom it may concern: The readers of The Republican will remember that not long since Mr. Hiner advertised that he would run, (and did run,) an excursion train, from Lafayette to points in Kansas and Colorado. He also .advertised that he would be at Hemphill & Honan’s store,, in Rensselaer, on a pertain day, lor the; purpose of selling tiokeis, etc. I called Upon him. and he informed me that he could sell me a Round Trip ticket, from Lafayette to my desired poiut in Kansas, tor $15.00. Tokl me to come to Lafayette on Monday, and he would be there, and sell me a ticket.. I went to Lafayette on the day appointed, and, on applying for my ticket, was informed, by Mr. Hiner and the ticket agent, that theke had bken a mistake between him and the agent, and tliev could not give me a ticket for less than I remonstrated all I could, but :ani sorry .to say Mr. Hiner did not v TANi) TO WHAT HE AGREED AT RENSSELAER. If anyone doubts ■this statement, let him enquire of Messrs. John ■Coen, Hugh Coen, William •Greenfield or James Hassons, who were all treated the same as myself. We took the Lake Erie & Western road, which is a slow, liae.

General Carnahan and The New Orleans Exposition.

Mr. James R. Carnahan, Indiana s commissioner to the New Orleans Ex ' position, has returned to Indianapolis. •Of the Exposition he told a News reporter: ’“ln a fifteen minutes walk, he -said, you see the whole world. You see people of every nationality and the products of every country iu the world. The exhibits and the arrangement of the dislay are far ahead of the centennial. A visit ,to Jfthe government and state building is alone worth the trip •to New Orleans to any man. 1 would advise visitors, however, not to go until February, as the displays will then all “be'in position” . ‘General Carnahan says the Indiana exhibits wilf be second to -that of no Stale. Several thousand square feet are covered with Indiana grains, grasses, potatoes, ■fruits, woods, building stones, and prehistoric r olios.

A Fall Acconut of the Kentland

Kentlanil Gazette. z *> Only a year and nine months ago, lventland suffered from a big fire and again we have to record another tri umphal march of the flames through half a square of business houses, on the east side of Third street, being a part of the ground burned over: in April, 1882‘. ’A part of tne business men who were through ’ that fire fire again burned, viz: W. S. McCullough, Terrence Cunningham, J. H. Gauthier, S. M. Nobje and Mrs. A. Hull, and the Masonic Order. Itoccuredon Sunday morning last, Dec. 28th, and was first noticed at about 20 minutes after 4 o’clock, when it was r&gmg fiercely within the building and beyond control. Its origin is by some attributed to lessness, and by others, to be of incendiary origin. The Gazette p ref ere the opinion that it was accidental. It appears to be a matter of doubt as to whether the fire started in the grocery store of Mr. Gauthier or in the room over it up stairs occupied as a milliner}- establishment by Mrs. Hull. But it evidently, had its origin in one of those rooms, but which will probably never be known. From this south side of the building, the flames spread rapidly northward through the hrick block, into Jasper Guy's drug store, thence into the room of the new clothing store of Seneca Gilbert and Jas. M. Castle. All these firms being located in the Cunningham brick block, then came the . Masonic building—a frame structure two stories, in which on the ground floor was located W. S. McCullough’s drug store, while in the second story was the Masonic Lodge rooms. This building caught at the rear southeast corner. The flames were here stopped by good work in placing snow on the root of the Peacock oftioe, which is located a few feet east of the corner of Third and Graham streets. This again Saved Wm. Perry’s, and probably the entire square of residences on the south side of the Court House square on Graham street. During the early stages of the fire

there were three explosions of powder in quick succession in the Gauthier room of the briok block, which awoke many of the people and give them the first knowledge of the raging flames. it is probable that an hour or perhaps two or more hours had elapsed from its origin to its discovery. It done its work as effectually and as cleanly as the fire of 1882, thdugh covering less territory. The sufferers are: J. H. Gauthier, grocer and furniture, estimates his loss at $5,000; insured for $2,009. , S. M. Noble, jewelry, building crush-, ed by falling wail, breakage and damage by removal of stock, estimates his loss at SSOO, No insurance. Jasper Guy, druggist, puts his loss at $3,000. No insurance. Gilbert & Castle, clothing, loss about $2,700, Insured for $2,500. Mrs. Alice Hull, millinery and ladies furnishings, estimated loss S3,WO. Insured for $2,000. Masonic Lodge building loss $1,700. Insured for SI,OOO. Loss on Lodge property $350. No insurance. W. 8. McCullough's stock was removed, but was largely damaged by removal. Estimates stock at $3,300, Insurance $2,000. Will Cunningham lost roller skates in the Hall to the amount of about $90.00 John Brokaw lost restaurant fixtures stored away in the cellar of the Cunningham block, worth $l5O. The heat broke the glass pretty badly in several on the opposite of the street.
