The two statesmen are seated at a table apparently on official duty. A novel feature is the window display at the Mammoth Clothing House. It is the lite sized image of Harrison and Cleveland. and is attracting considerable attention. Van Wert is practically without fire protection, so far as the fire company is concerned.

A little over three weeks ago an alarm of fire was turned in and the volunteer firemen, about forty in number, responded with their usual promptness. After making a short run it was ascertained that it was a false alarm. At the next session of the city council the firemen were refused their usual pay for responding to an alarm. The firemen immediately called a meeting and decided to disband in twenty days. The time expires to-day, and the citizens are thoroughly alarmed over the situation.

The action of the city council is grealy regretted. The city has a good system of waterworks and has just placed in a new fire alarm system, but in the case fire will be of little use without men. There was a great deal of uneasiness manifested about town last night over the report which gained currency that the boat which was taking the Lima excursionists from Lakeside to Toledo- had been caught in the storm which passed over this city last evening. The report seemed to be confirmed when an answer to several messages from Toledo brought thr news that the boat had not been sighted yet. At half past 10, however, news was received that the boat had landed at 9:55 without any mishap befalling it.

The boat had not started when the storm came up, and was delayed in starting a couple of hours on that cause. A large crowd of young people from this city will go to McBeth's Lake this evening for a moonlight picnic. They will start early and have a basket supper at the lake. J. M.

James better known here as "Jim" Fisher, who is a book keeper in the State Insurance department at Columbus, soon after the Chicago convention, wrote a poem entitled, "Cleveland, which was published in several Ohio papers.

The author sent a copy to the Democratic candidate for President, and received the following autograph reply: GRAY GABLES, July 27, 1892. JAMES E. FISHER, Sir: I have received poem which you enclosed with your letter of July 15, and perusal of it establishes the fact that the author is thoroughly devoted to the principles and purposes of true Democracy. Very truly yours, GROVER CLEVELAND. The adoption of Central Standard time by the City Council is a step in the proper direction, but it will cause a good deal of annoyance unless it is adopted by the county commissioners and the town clock regulated accordingly.

The Electric Street Ratiway company has already adopted it and the banking houses are taking a like move under advisement this afternoon, with the probable result of adopting it, also. The Standard time is the universal time, and all well regulated cities have adopted it, as have the manufactories. It will, however, be some time before it is universally used in Lima: The saloons will, of course, be eager to adopt the new time, for, while it cuts off half an hour in the morning, it adds that length of time at night, when business is better. The new street cars are being equipped with machines for registering the number of passengers hauled during the day. It is said that the potato crop will not be over one half as large this year as it was last.

The street car conductors ought to nize the fitness of things by calling out the names of the cross streets. It is a compulsory rule in the majority of cities, and is an excellent idea, especially in the case of rapid transit, like we have here, when one is liable to be carried beyond their destination by not having the street recalled to their mind. The teachers' institute is being well attended. The old Herrod building on East Market street, recently gutted by fire, is being torn and will be replaced by a handsome ick structure. Mr.

and Mrs. F. E. Harman left this morning on a bicycle jaunt down through Shelby and Logan counties. THE TINES this afternoon received the following card from Mr.

Harman, dated Botkins, 12:30 o'clock: Left Lima at 5 o'clock, reached Wapak 7:30, had breakfast. Left there 11 after calling on Mr. and Mrs. F. DeGrief.

Found Fred quite sick. We just reached here and will take a rest and some dinner. Yours, HARMAN. The Coffin that wrote here to what inducements Lima -would offer. to have their concern located here, has decided to remain in Upper Sandusky, where the stockholders are all located and where the services of an institation of that kind are needed most.

The town is dead, and all that in needed is a coffin large enough to bury it. The new concern will probably fill the want, WOMAN. In There One in Forger Gordon's Case? The Cincinnati Authorities Think There Was One, and are Trying to Locate Her, The arrest of the forger, Gordon, as was fully detailed in yesterday evening's is without doubt the most important capture that has been made by the local police department for some time, and the messenger boy Walker, who caught onto the fellows game and tipped him off to the police, is entitled to 1 a great amount of credit. The Cincinnati Enquirer to-day contains the following REGARDING GORDON: Learning that James T. Edlin, Alias Hiram A.

Gordon, the smooth forger, who is known in this city as the "Walnut Hills check worker," was in the clutches of the Superintendeut Deitsch yesterday prepared to tie a fresh knot in his bonds. It will be remembered that last. week the police were notified by a number of Walnut Hills grocers that a bogus check worker had taken them in for various small amounts. The greatest of these was selected to make .8 case upon, and Detective Schuncks was detailed to hunt him up. "The victim was J.

G. Dinkehbihler, of Gilbert avenue and McMillan street, the well known daily market proprietor. On the 25th inst. a check, presumably drawn on the Franklin Bank by Hiram E. Lonsford in favor of James T.

Edlin for $48.75 WAS BROUGHT TO THE STORE by George Herbolsheimer, a messenger boy in the employ of the Merchants' Police Company. have With it was note which purported been written by Mrs. Carrie Nathan, of No. 35 Oak avenue, and which requested Mr. Dinkenbihler to cash the check.

It was urged that there was a C. O. D. package awaiting payment. It developed that Mrs.

Nathan knew nothing of the check, and the boy stated that it had been given to him by a man who called at the office of the company. Later Edlin was heard from Dayton, where he worked the same succeeded in getting away from a grocery keeper named Moses, who had captured him. At last, as stated in the Enquirer, the fellow came, to grief at Lima, where HE IS IN FAST BONDS. Yesterday morning Detective Schuncks procured a warrant, and, securing the messenger boy, prepared to go to Lima after the thief. Before they could start, however, word was received that he had been indieted, and would not be turned over to any other officers.

Another thing interesting the police of the several cities is, who is the woman in the case? The notes sent out by the forger were in a woman's hand-; writing, and the police are now trying to locate her. HE'S THE MAN. Chief Murphy, of Columbus, Says Gordon Did the Work in. Columbus. that HE WAS THE ONE who worked Columbus, Merritt, laughed and said, "The Columbus man ain't doing A clever crook, who tried to work the messenger boy and check racket some days ago, left town during the day, says the Columbus Press, deserting from the United States barracks.

Before he left he confessed to three enlisted men at the barracks, that he was the man for whom the police have been looking, and who is supposed to be working at Lima. His name is Albert B. Merrett, and he is from Cologne, Germany' He enlisted in Detroit, in February and came to this post. He is 5 feet, 94 inches tall, is 27 years of age and has dark brown hair, and was up until Monday clerk in the quartermaster's department. SOME DAYS AGO a man in company a check for $40 cashed, and knowing wanted, Merrett always had money went to him to get the check cashed.

Merrett gave him $5, took the check, and the soldier is now whistling for the balance. Before he left he confessed that he was the man who did the Huntington and other jobs, and as quick as the description was published "When papers he shaved his mustache off. the Lima man's operations were published in a Cincinnati paper and inference was made those jobs." Merrett deserted before breakfast time, and where he went is not known. Chief Murphy says this is not the man at all, The one who did the Huntington job here and the one in Cincinnati, is now under arrest in Lima. HOME SEEKERS Cheap Rates via the Rail.

Van Loon's Photo Picked Out by a Woman Who Witnessed the Columbus Grove Bank Robbery and Saw Him do the Shooting." "That's the man who committed the Columbus Grove murder and bank robbery! I saw him do the shooting!" excitedly exclaimed a lady visitor at the penitentiary this afternoon, says a Columbus dispatch, 88 she gazed at the picture of Frank Van Loon. There would be nothing especially strange about the lady's remarks were it not for fact that she was 80 eye witness of the tragedy, she did not testify in the trial of Van Loon and never saw him before to know him.

She left Columbus Grove soon after the tragedy and remained away on a long visit subsequent to Van Loon's conviction. Being anxious to avoid notoriety in the celebrated case, she told no one outside her immediate family that SHE SAW THE MURDER And thus was never called Her startled exclamation at the was made while Deputy Warden was showing herself and several as a witness. penitentiary Playford friends photographs of the condemned men in the Annex. Deputy Warden Playford questioned the lady in regard to her knowledge of the case, but was able to learn very little from her, as she is still desirous of remaining in the back ground, The deputy learned however, that her name was Mrs. Ida Billheimer and her home is at Coldmus Grove.

One of the ladies accompanying her subsequently stated to the deputy that Mrs. Billheimer's first name is not Ida. She had given that name in her attempt to avoid notoriety. It is understood that Mrs. Billheinter was passing the door of the Columbus Grove bank when the tragedy was enacted.

Her positive identification of Van Loon as the murderer under the circumstances will be a strong point against his present effort to secure commutation of sentence from death to life imprisonment.

K.P This is What Troubles Fifty Workingmen. Work Stopped on the Victory. and the Men Are Awaiting Money- Mr. Tillotson Don't Show TO Up and the Men are Panicky Over Their Wages. J.

K. Tillotson, of Hotel Victory fame, is a much wanted man to-day, says yesterday's Toledo Newa About fifty ILen who were employed at the island are looking for him, but the omnipresent J. K. cannot be found. The trouble is the outgrowth of the men not receiving their pay for work on Hotel Victory.

One of the men was seen this morning and said: "The pay due us is for the past three weeks. We were always paid promptly heretofore and expected no trouble until we received orders to come to Toledo. We were told that the money would be paid us last Thursday at the Toledo office. Accordingly we all came here, bat have not seen Mr. Tillotson or any of his clerks.

Last Monday the work stopped and Mr. Tillotson gave us a sight draft. We went to the office in the evening but he was not there. Then a messenger came down to the island and posted a notice that we would be paid last Thursday, We have been waiting around ever since, but are unable to find Mr. Tillotson." "How many men are there?" "About fifty, and all are badly in need of money.

One of our gang has sick wife, and is unable to buy medicine because he has no money and can't get what is coming to him." "Are all the men from Toledo?" "No, they are from Detroit, Cleveland, Sandusky, Fremont, Toledo, and other points. 1 think we were told to come to Toledo to get us off the island." "Did give you checks on any bank?" "Yes, they gave some of the men checks on the Merchants' National Bank, bat they. were not honored. Checks were also given on the American Express Company, but they, too, are COURT HOUSE NEWS.
