In the neighbourhood about Naples they Are said to be already plenty. Our experts say that within ten Days the Woods will be alive with them. They were probably frightened out of Arkansaw by the Hunters from this City who recently told such Large Pigeon stories. A considerable excitement was occasioned this morning by the appearance of flames above the roof of the Central Bank building. Alderman Eppinger tried to yell fire but his voice failed him Max Kahn nearly fainted Allman dropped his pipe the reporter took out his note Book. These were All that saw it and when it proved to be Only a flue burning but All were relieved except the reporter who was disgusted at the loss of such a promising item. A about 7 o clock last night some passers by observed a fire in the Coal House at the residence of or. Fred. Stevens on Church Street. An investigation showed that the fire proceeded from a pile of Ragi which were All in a flame. A few baskets of water settled the trouble although not before considerable alarm bad been excited throughout the neighbourhood. No one knows the cause of the fire but Lee Hatch ascribes it to spontaneous combustion. It was in a Good place to make a Lively conflagration As the Coal House would soon have been in flames and its nearness to the dwelling would have insured the latter a catching. The damage done was trifling. A on yesterday deputies Piatt and Bahan arrested Porter Bostick charged with the abduction or enticing away of Maria Buck of mud Prairie. The girl s father made the complaint before Squire Persou that Bostick had enticed her away from Home and bad her concealed some place. The girl who claims to be 10 Yean old did leave Home which she claims to have the right to do and since which time she has been living with a married Siitar in he City. Whatever Bostick May have had to do with her going away they both claim that there was Noth ing wrong in the act and a Nniro Pinon evidently thought the same for be released Bostick on hit own recognizance. The Case will probably be Beard to Day. Death of Riehard Kon Vasey. Hon. Richardson Vasey died at his Home on West state Street at 6 o clock yesterday evening after an illness of about two weeks. His death which was the result of typhoid fever was no Surprise to his friends As his condition was known to very precarious. Or. Vasey was born in Yorkshire England on May 9, 1843, and was consequently nearly 41 years of age. He came to this country with his father or. John Vasey in 1849, and his Homo has always been Here. His Early life was passed on his father s farm West of the City and the ground work of his education was obtained in the common schools of the county but was supplemented by a vigorous course of study pursued in the intervals of labor. He began Early to take an interest in politics being an uncompromising Democrat and was always regarded As an organizer and Leader of ability. He was married August 20th, 1877, to miss Virginia b. Gordon daughter of Hon. John Gordon postmaster of this City a lady in every Way worthy of him. During the same year or. And in. Vasey visited Europe travelling through England Ireland France Germany Italy and Switzerland and our readers Well remember his Many interesting letters published in the court Elk during that trip. On his return he settled upon his Fine farm West of the City and applied himself to agricultural pursuits. In 1878 or. Vasey was elected from this District to the House of representatives of the thirty first general Assembly and made a Good record for faithfulness and Industry. At the expiration of his term he removed to the City and entered into the dry goods business but after about a year sold out and since that time has devoted himself to the care of his farm and to various enterprises in which he engaged chief among which was speculations in Western lands and in which he has been very successful. Or. Vasey was a Man respected by All fur his honesty and sincerity and he made Many warm friends by his uniform kindness and willingness to oblige. Straightforward steady and industrious it was not surprising that his financial enterprises were usually Succes fitful. Firm in his opinions he yet respected the opinions of others who differed from him. His death is a loss to Morgan county for he was a Good citizen in every sense of the word. His wife and one son about 0 years old survive him and mourn the loss of a Loving husband and an indulgent father. The funeral will be conducted under the direction of the knights Templar of this City. The services will be held at the residence on sunday afternoon at 2 o clock and will be conducted by or. W. F. Short and Rev. S. Morton. The remains will be interred at Diamond Grove cemetery. Friends of the family Are invited to attend without further notice. Not guilty. The jury in the Carpenter Case rentier a verdict. Pc Cal to the Goi birr. Petrr Suburo iii., March 22,1884. The jury in the Case of the people against o. A. Carpenter after being out All night agreed upon a verdict of not guilty about 5 o clock this morning. At Midnight the jury stood 9 to 3 in favor of acquittal Bat one by one the minority were induced to come Over. The verdict excited no Surprise but Many could not understand what had caused the jury to hesitate so Long. It seems that some of them mistook the lawyers speeches for evidence and insisted on a verdict of guilty but were finally convinced of their error. Or. Carpenter was at once on the rendering of the verdict formally discharged from custody. With his family and friends he returned to Lincoln to Day. The feeling Here in regard to the verdict is that it could not have been otherwise and very few after listening to the evidence believe Carpenter guilty.

In Case she married again further instructions As to the disposition of his property were to be found in a sealed envelope left in the hands of the trustees and Only to be opened in Case his widow married again. Of coarse she declared that the envelope would never be opened but after a year of mourning she changed her mind and again became a wife although the trustees warned her that the envelope no doubt contained documents which would materially Lessen her income. The ceremony was hardly performed when the sealed package was broken and found to contain an envelope directed to mrs. Blank on her second wedding Day.
