COUNTY VOTER TALKS HE STILL HAS AS AN OPINION OF CLERK EDWARDS. And Replies to That Official's Late Letter and Jabs His Pen Into Other County Matters. Oct. 3.--~(To the tor) : In your issue of Thursday Dr. Edwards, the county clerk, a weak attempt to explain his extra ordinary conduct of holding clerkship whilst tramping around the county seeking to gratify his abnor mal political appetite, and is making speeches full of that bitter invective | common to his platform utterances | and insulting in the streme to those | who do not agree with him Their |; rights and principles should le spected, at least to the extent of not being compelled to be the servant of | the people regardless of political creed or party. I do not object to the doc tor aspiring for parliament: ors, nor do I object to his inclina- tion for political activity, but I in- sist that propriety demands that one thoroughly saturated with selfish ag- grandizement and emoluments of office | should surrender his position as coun- ty clerk, regardless of the pressing and persuasion of the warden and the county council. The guileless doctor wants believe that he was anxious to last June, but it was deemed 'in the best interests of the county" for him to remain in office. That is, 1 sup- pose, it was deemed advisable by his few friends that he should remain in the county clerk's office, until after October 26th, to which way the political cat would jump in the coun- ty of Frontenac on that day and date Experience had made Dr. Edwards ex- ceedingly careful in the He wants to go to Otfawa than | Barriefield needs a new bridge, but county conditions just now spell dan ger and defeat, the Foxy County Quiller hangs on with the tenacity of despair.

So 'oped' that it embraces everybody. And as to it being above "board," I am at a loss to know just what he means, for he has the knack. of saying a thing sus- ceptible to more than one interpreta- tion. Impulsiveness is one of the doc- tor's Mumerous weaknesses, and he has been a little hasty in challenging the proofs that he has promised his help and influence to than one for the job he now holds.

The fire had first been seen by Vincent McNeill and Bernard Kennedy, on their return from a dance at Odes- sa, and these two gave the alarm. The rest of the story is a chapter of loss and disaster, constituting togeth- er the heaviest blow that the fiery ele- ment has inflicted upon Newburgh since the memorable conflagration of September 7th, 1887, which wiped out half the village and ruined for the time many of its citizens. The fire of this morning made very rapid work of the building so long known as the Percy block, but now owned by George M. Walker, the up- per floor being used as a public hall, and the lower floor occupied hy the post office and the fine new groce and meat-stall of Mr. Walker. This had just recently been fitted in rhod- ern style, with magnificent plate- glass front. Mr. Walker, on entering, had but time to remove one show-case when the smoke and flames burst into it from an opening above, and in a few minutes it was a seething furnace. Not a breath of wind was stirring and it was thought quite passible to save C. H. Finkle's building, adjoin- soon Vice-President Whyte at Winnipeg announced that all married men will be taken back and competent single men will be taken on to fill the places | of any incompetent strike breakers.

Men were soon on this high roof and using to best advantage the buckets of water passed up by the brigade that had been formed. In some way, however, the flames gained entrance under the roof and attacked the inside wall of the hall above. With smoke belching now from the farther side of the hall, all efforts to the build- ing were to be vain, and atten- tion was turned to the Ryan stock, a part of which was successfully re- moved. Smoke put an to these efforts and this building in resigned to the flames. Next to this the residence tinshop of Charles Welbanks, and braver fight could have imagined than the successful stragele made to save this home. Only twelve feet in- tervened between it and Ryan's, The windows and casings were protected by suspended pieces of tin and hun- of pails of water used. Men with steaming clothes and well-nigh blistered faces watghed every attack made by the fire while others remov- ed the entire contents. There was great rejoicing at the event of fight as Mr. Welbanks carried no insurance. In the meantime the Napanee fire brigade had been telegraphed for and after considerable delay, occasioned by the necessity of sending to Deseronto for a special train, the engine driver arrived about 7.30, too late to render any assistance, Further danger was now thought to be past, and the bri- gade returned to Napanee, The fire trouble, however, had but begun. At 8.30 a blaze was discovered in Fin- kle's workshop, east of Main street, south of the first fire. This was soon extinguished, but half an hour later from the basement of this building which was entirely gf wood, and a very easy victim to a arose fresh flames, and the Napanee brigade was recalled. This building which spanned the north branch of the river w completely gutted, and had it not been for <the return of the fire-fichters from Napanee, the whole western and southern portions of the village would have been wiped out.

Madden, post-mistress, suffers little loss as all cash, stamps, ete., had as usual been removed at night and preparations had been com- pleted for removal to the new office further up street next week. Uncalled for mail constitutes the greatest loss here. Mr. Ryan carried a $6,500 dol- lar stock of groceries, sugar, hard- ware, paints, oils and flour by the carload, and carried insurance of $4 - 300, made up of $2,000 in the Mer- chants; $2,000 in the Anglo-American, and $300 in the Traders' Insurance company. Mr. Finkle carried $1,500 on the Fone building and $2,000 on the wood shop which will hardly cov- er his Mr. Chant carried $700 on his house, which will not cover his loss, which inchides a winter's supply of coal in the cellar. Mrs. Kelly loses part of the eontents of her cellar, considerable clothing and some. furni- ture, and the Presbyterian church suf- fered, as stated above. Mr. Farley's loss is only pantially covered by in- surance. The embers willl not have ceased to smoke when on Monday merning Mr. Ryan will commence building opera- tions to replace his loss. He purposes to enlarge and add 'a storey to the building he now uses as a feed store- house on Main street, and use it also for groceries and hardware. This act- jon is characteristic of the keen busi- ness enterprise of Ryan & Son, and they will soon have again as formerly two. completely furnished stores with even increased facilities for handling their large trade. Mr. Chant and Mr, Walker will likely rebuild at once. Mr. Finkle's intentions are unknown. Newburgh considers that she has now had her share of fire devastation and at last aroused to the sity for adequate fire protection of her own. The village council will be urged to provide proper facilities for such protection, to which it believed the council are very favorable, The origin of the day's fire is a complete mystery, but rumors of an incendiary = origin are very persistent and doubtless an investigation will be stay loss. is neces- 18 made.
