BURKHARDT, a brother of Passenger Agent Frank BURKHARDT, of the C.H. & D. and E.& W. lost a valuable barn by fire Tuesday evening, but neighbors arrived in time to save the house and rescue the live stock of which there was considerable. For a time it looked as though the whole country round about would be swept by a conflagration. The wind blew the flames in great sheets across the fields, burning up considerable dry fodder and fences. The direction of the wind saved Mr. BURKHARDT's home and other buildings, but the barn, which was one of the largest in the county, is a total loss. It was valued at $2,000, and well insured. Mr. BURKHARDT, who is Mayor of Cridersville, lives about a mile and a half from the town, but at the time of the fire was in Lima on business. The fire was seen for miles and farmers from every direction to assist in getting it under control. Over a hundred rigs of every description were hitched to the fence at a safe distance and the owners formed a fire brigade that did effective work in the way of rescue.

The "closed indefinitely" sign has been taken down from the door of the south side bank. All you can see now is furniture and an electric light. The sidewalks on both sides of the Main street bridge are in very bad shape- rotten boards, holes large enough for a child to break a leg in and blocks nailed down in such a manner as to cause many to stub their toes. Prompt attention to the defects may save the city a damage suit, as there are plenty of people looking for easy money. Mrs. Mary MELL, of east Vine street, is entertaining her sister Mrs. James HOOPER, husband and children, of Plain City.
