Thefiring of two shots alarmed the K^hlmrs aiid among the first arrivals ithe scene were Dr. Clark and Sam bker, tyho Imarded a t the Bingamon use. When the room was entered lira. Bingamon was dead, Bradley flmkedup at Dr, Clark, but never jipoke and died almost instantly. :Bingamon shat himself in a room kdjmidng the one where the murder « m committed, and then went to the hay mow in the harn and shot himself •gain. Bingamon was shot twice in [the bre.ist,Bntdley in the leftside near the heart and Mrs. Bingamon in the right side, almost under the arm. There are reasons to believe that the murder was premeditated. Bing isiaon wa« ill Xenia on Monday sad bought a JHMsalibre Smith & Wessen revolver.

On Wednesday the citizens of this dace witnessed one of the worst electrical storms that has visited here ibr years.- The lightning in the after- noon was very sharp mid played rather lively on the new telephone wires.

At 1 o’clock dinner was served un dor a large elm tree to the eighteen memlrere «>t this compauy and their families. Judge Dean acted as chair, man and Kev, Ketcham of the Trinity M. E. church delivered the address of welcome. Holt. J , X, Oren, of Wilmington, responded pith an ad dress, eloquent and full of pathos. Addresses by Mr. Allen, of Indiana, and Consul Maxwell, of Santo Do­ mingo were heard and enjoyed by all weaent. The 40th wax in several hard fought battles, Co. **B.” went out a hundred strong.

ASt. L, The Outcome of the OidSuperior ShopSite.' A few days ago while conversing with a prominent Springfield mer­ chant, the subject of the Pcnnsyl* vania Bailroad Company came up in regard to the outcome of the purchase of tho Old Superior Drill Works, as they arc at present being razed- I t is thought by some that there will bq a Union depot erected on that site and that all roads will enter that place, while with others it is considerable of a mystery, for the railroad company has not given out the least bit of information. We next discussed the runuiug of the through trains from Columbus to Cincinnati- via Springfield over the Fan Handle, thus dropping Cedar* ville, as it were, from the map.
