AN alarm of fire on Saturday evening last, was caused by tbe roof of a small kitchen in the rear of the residence of Major J. M. Lowry, on North 6th street, catching fire from a spark from the chimney. The flames were subdued by the bucket brigade, before much damage was done. Some officious person during the excitement loosened the guys on the tile which decorated the chimney and it fell over, striking Major Lowry in the middle of the back in its descent, and now the Major is roaming around town with a stiffback looking for tbe fellow that was monkeying with the guys.

THE dwelling of Mr. James I. AVork, of East Mahoning township, was burned to the ground on AA ednesday last. The family were at dinner when they heard a noise, and upon makingan examination found the whole upper part of the house in flames. The fire was so far advanced that it wasuseless to try to extinguish it, and they turned all their attention to saving the contents, but succeeded in making only one trip to the second story and all their dried fruit, best lothing.etc., were destroyed.

Nearly everything on the lower floor, however, was saved. The loss will be total, as there was no insurance on the building or contents, and it will he a hard blow to Mr. AA'ork. To make matters worse, a daughter was lying verv low with consumption, and her hnr- rieil removal to a neighbor's will have a bad effect upon her. It is the fire caught from tbe Independent.

F. M. DOBERXECK proprietor of the brewery in this place, was arrested on information of Constable Books on Monday last, for selling beer without license. Mr. Doberneck gave bail for his appearance at court, and will contest the case for all that is in it.

The indictment of Mr. Douberneck is intended to settle a disputed point in law, whether a license taken out under the old law, before the new law went into effect, is good for a year from the date of the license, or whether a license should be taken out under the new law from the time it went into eflect. The courts of Philadelpnia and Pittsburg have decided that the license obtained in May just before the new law went into effect, is good for one year, and that no license under the new law need be taken out until the old license expires. The decision of the court on this question will be awaited with great interest. Mr.

Doberneck claims that his license was obtained before the new law went into effect, and was taken out in the usual manner from County Treasurer Rainey.

It will be remembered that when the Commissioners let the contract for building the Jail and repairing the Court House, that by letting the two together they were to get the whole work done for $50,000, subject to any reductions for windows, chairs, etc.

that the commissioners might think unnecessary to have done. This included the heating of both the Jail and Court House with steam and even-thing complete. But when the Court refused to sanction the of money to make the contemplated repairs to the Court room and heat it with steam, tbe Commissioners were obliged to cut off the steam heating and some other necessary changes, although they felt at the time it was a great injustice to themselves as well as to the tax-payers whom thev the beating of tbe Court House alone with hard coal for the last four years cost S340o. 14, and theJieating of the Jail and Court House both, for the same length of time, is guar- antee'd not to cost over $900.00, winch would be a saving to the tax-payers in four years of $1445.14. The amount which they thus deducted from the contract price for these improvements was $2250.00.

The matter however, was submitted to the Grand Jury last week, and after a careful inquiry into all tbe details of the matter and making tbe calculations for themselves, they made the following finding, which the Court immediately, on its presentation, disapproved, seemingly, at least, because it settled th- issue between himself and the Commissioners in favor of the latter. The finding of theXSrand Jury will be found in the Court Proceedings. The.finding of the Grand Jury was entirely their own act and not done at the instance of any body. It certainly places the Court in an awkward jmsition. Terrible Freight Wreck.

On AVcdnesday morning last, Indiana Local Freight was badly wrecked at Sloan's crossing between Blairsville and the Conemaugji Bridge. Engineer Geo. Pinkertoii with eugine No. 809 was hauliug the train and Delos Hetrick with engine No. 935 pushing, when a cow was observed on the track and before any attempt to stop could be made, the engine struck the cow and rolled her underneath, throwing the engi'-e off the to tbe engine, and when she turned over Sweeny was caught and held under the engine until assistance arrived, when he- was taken out and his left leg was found to be severely scalded.

Engineer Pink- ertoii was discovered sitting on the batik in a dazed-condition, and was suffering considerably from the severe shaking up be received. Ten loaded freight cars followed tbe engine and were soon piled in a promiscuous heap, with their contents scattered about in all directions. The engineer of the pusher could not see what had happened on account of the train and the heavy curve at tliat point, and kept under a full head of steam for some time before he could be warned of the accident. Fireman Sweeny was taken to Blairsville and received the attentio i of Drs. Brown and Kutledge, the companyB 1 physicians, and was brought to his home in this place on the noon train.

On Friday morning Judge AVhite called the Grand Jury before him; said he was informed that there was no further them but understood they were inspecting the public buildings. He said he did" not call their attention to the public buildings because he bad nothiug to say upon tbe subject as contracts have been entered into and work is going on; nothing is more dangerous than to alter after they have been made about public matters; let tbe contracts stand and have the auditorr report upon the expense entered upon tbe record.

No body outside has any right to talk to the grand jury or any member of it about These matters; that is invading the province of the grand jury. AVhatever is to be doue, must be done in an official manner so that it goes upon the record. You have a right to look at tbe public buildings, and the court has a right to suggest it to you. You have a right to call witnesses before you but investigation in any other way would create confusion and irregularity; we thought best not to call your attention to the matter; we make this explanation in justice to you and to ourselves. The grand jury retired for deliberation and so'od returned with the following presentment.

"The grand jury for the county of Indiana at the September Sessions of ISSi make the following presentment: That upon inquiries and investigation we find further repairs and alterations to the Court House, in addition to those in process of construction necessary for the accommodation of the court and the public; we therefore respectfully recommend that tbe proper officers proceed to heat the said building by steam and to make such further repairs and alterations as may be considered advantageous; not to exceed in cost the additional sum of $2,250.

M. To the Memory of John Thompson, of Cteto- pa, Who Died One Year Ago. One year ago, whit loves, what schemes. Far into fife! What joyous hopes, what high resolves, What generous strife! The silent picture on the wall. The burial stone; Of all that beauty, lite, and joy.

Remain alone. One year, one year, one little year. And so much gone! And yes the even flow of life, flows calmly on. The grave grows green, the flowrs bloom free. Above that head; No sorrowing tint of leaf or spray, Says lie is dead.
