J Toledo's only disaster from fire leurred Tuesday night, when the jree buildings occupied by the ioledo Commission House, Mrs. T. Fish's millinery and Lester faugh's meat market were totally destroyed, only the millinery stock, a small quantily of sacked grain, feed, etc., and the commission house ife being saved. The fire was ist discovered about 11:30 p.m., d was soon beyond control. As Jen appeared on the scene in re onse to the alarm they began rorking vigorously to save the intents, with the above result, .lie buildings were some what iso tted and this made the work of keeping the fire from comraunicat n'g with other property compar iively easy. A light rain was filing and the absence of wind also revolted more serious trouble, ie buildings belonged to T. P. jsh's children minors, and the tock of the commission house was ped by Mr. Fish and several tier parties. We have been un ble to obtain fignres, but the loss i s estimated at from $2000 to $2500; insurance. It is a hard blow to jr. Fish, as he had just begun to scuperate from his previous fiuan wl losses. He has the deepest sym jthy of a large circle of friends, po sincerely hope that he may be !abled to engage in business again the near future. Mrs. Fish has f millinery stock in the building foining Conroy's on the south, tere she will be pleased to meet jr friends and patrons. .There was a rather peculiar and aerestiug case aired before County jdge Stewart last Saturday, the suit, we. understand, of a com- Wnt made tbat L.

Our first census, made in 1795, showed the population of the United States to be five million, and the count cost Uncle Sam, who was comparatively poor then, one cent for each person. It is estimated that the twelfth census, to be made in June, 1900 will show that our people number seve;:ty-five million, and that the item of clerk hire, in the Census Bureau aloiie, will ex ceed five million dollars.
