A BAD FIRE.
The Bank Block Narrowly Escapes
Entire Destruction.
A. J. Doherty & Sons' Warehouse
Set by Incendiaries,
At one p. m. Friday morning fire
was discovered in the second story of
the bank block, and it was not extinguished until the entire second
story was almost completely wrecked.
The tire originated in the closet between the offices of C. W. Perry and
Dr. G, E. Lamb, used by the latter as
a wood room. There seems no Other
way the flre could have originated
than by incendiary, and this belief is
more flrmlv fixed, as not an hour after
the first flre was discovered the Doheroy
warehouse was set on tire. The buttle
of kerosene was left. An engine passing on the P. M. discovered it and gave
the alarm. The sentiment of the
people runs high and every effort will
be made to locate the criminal and
this done he'll doubtless get the limit
of the law. Both buildings were covered by insurance,

SPRING ELECTION.
Republican   Gain   in   City   and
County,
Monday's election in many precincts
was hotly contested, and in the main
showed substantial republican gain.
In the county the board of supervisors
--which was democratic last year twelve
to nine, tbis year is eleven to ten and
may be twelve to nine republican, we
not being able to state the exact results as one supervisor elected on a
"union" ticket is nqncommital as to
his political belief.
The ^entire republican tickets in
Surrey, Sheridan and Grant were
elected. In the city of Harrison the
election was neyer more hotly contested, and resulted in a tie for mayor
ancj treasurer. As a legal gambling
to break the tie will pot take place till
tonight, we are unable to give the result. There may be a recount in two
of the wards, instead of casting lots,
and in the event it is quite probable
that Editor Dudley will be elected by
one vote, it being believed that there
was an irregularity in one of the
wards, which if recti fled will be one
vote against Mr. Sweet.
In Olare the republicans have the
better end of the election. Last year
the mayor and entire board of aldermen were democratic; this year the
republicans elected Frank B. Doherty
from, the 2d and Charles W. Calkins
from the 3d. Last year in city offices
the republicans elected but one, Albert Thurston, for treasurer; this year
we re-elected Mr. Thurst on treasurer,
Mell Buell clerk, Dr. Mulder for
school insoector. J. R. Goodman from
ohe'3d and A. C. Gordanier from the
first are tbe republican supervisors
elect and Thos, J. Dwyer was elected
from the second over D. J, Fox, tbe
republican nominee, by a majority of
twenty-flve, an excellent run for Mi.
Fox, as the 2d is the strongest democratic ward in the city.
In last fall's campaign it was shown
by the majorities given County clerk
Frank Morrisey and treasurer John
Richmond that a man .who has held
an offlce one term and served well is
hard to beat. It was again shown
i n the race for coinmissionership. Mr.
Aldrich has served three years and
having given 'general satisfaction,
was re-elected on his merits and if
during the coming two years he gives
tbe county tbe.service he has in tbe
past, he will haye credibly acquitted
himself.
Following is the vote in the various
precincts in the county:

Inquire of Charles Johnson,    19-2
Eepresentative Dennis, of the Wexford district, has introduced two bills
to amend tbe general tax laws, which
are of vital importance to the tax payers of all the northern counties of the
state. Heretofore while the law made
tbe'taxea a lien upon real estate from
the first day of December in the year
they were assessed Until paid, there
was no proylsion to enforce this Hen
from the time the township treasur-*
ers made their returns of delinquent
taxes until the lands were bid off at
the tax sales tWenty-six months after
such returns, thus KivinK the owner
of the land more than two years in*
which to cut the timber and leave the*.
land, with the accumulated taxes, to-
be carried by the township, county^
and state until someone decided to-
purchase the land for the taxes, The-
adoption of these amendments will
make it unlawful for anyone to remove any forest product until the-
taxes are paid, and fives county treasurers power to collect the taxes in
all such cases at any time after the-
lands have been returned. Representative Dennis' bills are both deserving,
prompt and favorable legislative-
action.—Cadillac News,
Mr. Liston Harding has been advanced to the head of Davy & Co.'s dry-
