A. R. Memorial Serrices-The U'niversalist Church Crowded to the Doors with ple Who Came to Listen to the Memorial Services in Honor of the Men Who Fought nail Bled for This Colon -The Program An Excellent One, Likewise the Address by Ret. Mr. Canner.

The annual memorial services of the G. A. R. were beld last night at the Universalist church, by Wetzel-Compton Post No. 9t.

The church was crowded to overflowing, many being turned away. The church was very prettily decorated in honor of the erent and the music reudered was excellent. The program was carried out as published, and each performer acquitted himself with credit. The memorial services by the Post were very impressive. The address was made by Rev.

C. C. Conner. After a few introductory remarks the gentleman said: "When I once addressed a Post of the G. A.

R. assembled with their friends, at a -bean-bake." I observed on the wall three words, with which I was happily impressed. I remember those words as "loyalty, fraternity, charity." About these three words, the motto words of the C. A. be wove some beautiful thoughts that impressed themselves on the minds of every one.

"In the consideration of these subjects, 1 know that you will indulge us and think over with us the fundamental and living principles you seek to perpetuate, your. selves becoming more strong in those principles, more noble, brave, loyal, fra. ternal, kindly and charitable as you ponder them. 1-Loyality, Ike heroism is a principle that lives within the man and awaits the occasion and call for its expression means not war, pot strife, but love and peace among all mankind. is an inner principle of life to cherish and to love.

It comprehends the whole fraternal and humane helpful attitude of life towards life, "Charity becomes the strongest principle of all priaciples. It is greater than loyality, greater than fraternity. It Is of God, and man passing with loyality in the way of his life and bearing a consalousness of the fraternal relations to those about him, approaches tpe principle of charity, which grows from others, the fact of God himself true love and true belpfulbess. And because charity, or love, is of God and is the greatest and strongest reality of life, wars must cease from the earib, swords must be beaten Into plougsbhares and spears into pruning man must learn the graceful arts of peace." The Stove Smoked, That's All. The alarm of fire from box 42, at 5 o'clock this morning, was nothing but big scare.

BIO HANK DEAL. The Merchante' National Bank, of Middle. town, Purchased by Peal d. BorgGasckie Nteps Dows wad Out. One of the largest deals in the history of Middletown and also la this county, was consummated ibls morning In Middletown.

Merchants' National bank of that city, was purchased by Paul J. Sorg. For some time past all has not been harmony within the Inside work. lugs of the Merchants' National. The principal stockholders were Paul J.

Sorg and Charles Gunckle. Sorg and Gunckle have not, of late, been the fast friends they were some time back. In fact there is a decided coldness between them and this was likely to make itself manifest in the coming election of president of the said bank which will take place within a couple of weeks. Mr. Guackle owned 599 shares of Merchant National stock and with this good sized block was liable to worry Mr.

Sorg. The latter was not to be worried and this morning bought out Mr. Ounck: e. Mr. Sorg got the entire 322 shares and paid therefor the sum of 8150,000.

This is probably the biggest deal in the history of Butler county, and Mr. Sorg will now elect a president for his bank without trouble. AN AWFUL MESS Up in the Classical Village of Oxford- -A Wife a Petition fo: Divorce on the Ground of Cruelty Unset by Most Serious Charges the Part of the Husband -James Duke ou and His Wife Laura -Laora Appears In the Light of Having Been on Numerous Larks -The Neighbors Become Indignant anil Threaten Dire Things. A divorce case in Oxford is creating a decided sensation in that classic village. The woman who thinks marriage is a failure is Mrs.

Laura A. Doke, wife of Jas. Duke, Her maiden name was Hutchison and she was married to Duke in 1557, when she was 22 years old. Her petition sets forth abandonment, failure to provide and cruel treatment. Duke is a higbly respected man of more than twice his wife's age, but he 1s said to be on the verge of insanity.

The one child born to the couple is demanded by the mother. For several months Mrs. Duke bas been living with Newton Wolf, a section hand on the C. H. I.

railroad at ford and on Christmas day a child was born to Mrs. Duke and Sir. Wolf. la Duke's answer he claims to have been driven from his home by Wolf and that Wolf has been lIving in adultery with Mrs. Duke since his departure.

He alleges that one night having retired with his wife and baby, Wolf came to his house demanding admission and compelled the husband and child to leave while be remained. Considerable indignation exists among the neighbors. Yesterday an anonymous note was left at the office of the real estate agent baring charge of the Duke premises, stating that if the house was not vacated at once it would be burned to the ground by the THE FIRST MOVE Toward a Betterment of the Streets Is the Proposed Purchase of Steams Holler-- Council In Session -Pay Roll l'assed. At the meeting of the city council last evening the report of the committee on claims on the pay roll for the month of December was received and adopted and an ordinance appropriating money to pay the bills reported was passed and the rarions funds drawn upon as follows: General 1,165.91 Fire 929.10 Street 2.412.51 Light Library 163.97 Police Fund. 1,305.41 614.40 Bridge fund.

Sinking 25,574.00 Contingent 251.81 Total City Commissioner Weller and council had a little tilt over the payment of bills in excess of what council bad ordered. Mr. Weller claims that the amount council allows him for street purposes is insuficient, but council seems to think that Mr. Weller ougbt not go beyond its appropriation. The committee on streets reported in favor of the city purchasing a street steam roller.

Wm. Ritchie advocated the purchase of a 12-ton roller. Mr. Ritchie's remarks were those of a man well acquainted with the subject in hand and his brief speech was tirely listened to by council. J.

J. Pater also addressed council on the subject. In other cities where steam rollers are used it seems from all reports that they work very advantageourly. After some little discussion the city clerk, upon motion of Mr. Egry, was instructed to advertise for bids for a 1: and 15, ton street roller.

Council will purchase but one roller, but they want to get priers from bidders on rollers of various weights. The firm of Ritchie de Dyer makes street rollers on demand, and several councilmen said last evening they would sooner see a home Arm get the contract. One of Mr. Ritchie's rollers is now in use la Missouri, and gives very good satisfaction. Mr, Ritchle thinks a 12-ton street roller is amply sufficient for this city.

Council seems to be a unit on the question of purchasing one. BRIEF MENTION. Officer Connaughton yesterday found part of the goods, which were stolen from the H. D. last week in the Fourth ward.
