Cincinnati is having its share of excitement over the murder of Pearl Cryan. and in connection with the reports of organized movements in henlucky and the probabilities of an outbreak in that city, a great deal of uneasiness is tell.

This gives a plausible indication that a lynching is contemplated. The governer is determined that such an action w ill not be permitted, and trouble is looked for. The chain of evidence against Walling and Jackson is nowcomplete, and although some papers attempt to smerch the character of Ceoige Jackson who claims to have driven the unfortunate girl to her death, yet the

circumstances surrounding the mid-i

night crime give his evidence all the vestige of the truth. The prisoners are said to be greatly depressed since Jackson told his story regarding the driving of the rig.

apathy We learn that Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, vvill soon deliver a lecture in Kochester on the life of Lincoln. It seems that our city is apat belie along this line of entei tainmt nts. Let us have something of this order. An eve ning spent tinder the inl'.uence of this "silver tongued" orator would be of great benefit. Wednesday night at '.CJo a wood shed in the rear of the First Presbyterian church was discovered to be in Maines. Jlefore the lire department arrived on the scene, the lire had gained such headway that it was impossible to save even a portion of the building. The cushions, library and furniture were saved. The building was insured for f.(i0o. It originally cost .S7,i)0 outside of having received additional repairing.

on "Kesignatiou." A beautiful Moral tribute was given to the family by the teacher and memebrs of tho Sunday school class. Saturday evening the tire bell rang out an alarm.the first for several weeks. It wa? soon learned that tho lire was in the shanty lately vacated by Kridget Shay, in the south west, part of town. Tho tire department was soon on the scene, and although too late to save the shell, kept other property near by from being destroyed. It is thought t;; have

let ! been set on lire purposely, a3 there was

no one living in the place at the time. About 1:1." Monday afternoon the lire bell rang out another alaim of tire. The department was soon on the way to the conflagration which was found to be on North Walnut street, in a house occupied by Will Poor, but owned by Deorgc Nyhart. Owing to a misunderstanding the lire company was delayed a short time by getting two blocks out of the way, but made up for lost time by throwing water in a short time after reaching the scene. While it is not known how the lire originated, there is but little doubt that it started from tho Hue, and when discovered the upper portion of tho house was in tlames. Almost everything was gotten out of the house before the department got there. While the lire was soon extinguished, the upper pait of the house is an entire wreck. Tho house was insured.
