NASHINGTON, REQ j, 1915.
Editor Of the Sdr:-I find the following in last
evenings STAR, reported as the testimony OF
Hon. Horace +. Clark before the Wilson inyes-
eating committee, in reference to myself:
CLERK intimafed that he considered Cowlan,s LEI
ter only blackmalinQ attempt TO get money out o,
the road for pretended influencing of legislation.
and refused TO even go to Washington on the GRAND
he suggested. To attempi to buy your peace from
strikers OF this class, said Mr. Clark, is encour-
age the very spirit which impeis the attack. After
further correspondence BY telegraph, Clark depued
APPLETON, attorney for the company, to confer with
Copian in Washington, having first instructed An
pleton that The company would not spend cent for
purposes of legislative bribery, as suggested bl
CoNlan.
Will you do me the justice to state that Mr.
Clark said no such thing. but. on the contrary
testified exactly the reverse of what was stated
His testimony was. briefly, that 1 was not i'm
pilcated in the transaction, and not as reported.
that tcns implicated. This extract from The
STAR goes out of the way to misstate the testi-
mouy to my injury. Mr.. Clark never enter
talned or expressed any such opinion, but un-
derstood and expressed exactly the reverse
RespectGily, GEO. b. CowLAM.
In justice to Mr.. Cowlam, we publish the
above, and would state that THE STAR reporte,
left the committee-rOom on Thursday afternoon
after he had brought the proceedings down to q
point as late as could be printed i'm THE Sr4r
OF that day. and that the paragraph complained
OF was in an account of the Subsequent pro-
ceedings taken from a contemporary and con
tanned in what purported to be an abstract OF
the proceedings before the committee.

GREAT FIRE IN BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, July ga little after
10 o'clock to-day, a fire broke OUT in
the planning mill of Joseph Thomas &
Co., on the South side Of Clay street,
between Liberty and Park streets.
Soon after, y. general alarm was
sounded. The fire soon extended to
three adjoining blocks, and an I'M
mense coufagration is now raging
A stiff Southwest breeze is blowing,
and immeusecinders are waited sew
eral blocks off, in the vicinity of the
Cathedral The locality Of the fire is
in the immediate vicinity OF the
Presbyterian Church OF Rev: DR..
Smith, cornerof l. berty and Sarato-
ga streets, where the Presbyterian
Gsscmblp was held The entire South
west corner Of this block Is burned.
3P. M.-The fire is still raging.
Eight blocks Of fine buildings have
been burned. The authorities are
sending 70 outside help. The water
sup aly IS failing. Clay street, from
Liberty to Howard, for two squares
is burned out. This is a narrow
street, filled with carpenter shops and
box factories. The steeple of the
Central Presbyterian Church is on
fire. At balfpast l o'clock, the ferc-
est portion Of the fire was on Sarato-
ga street, between Park and Liberty
streets. On the South side, every
house on the square is in flames. The
fire to this square came from the
block Of buildings which reach the
destroyed houses on LAY street, up
Saratoga to Howard street, on the
South side. The houses were still
burning at l o'clock. The course Of
the fire from Thomas factory, where
it commenced, was up Park street on
one side and in rear Of St Alphousus
school on the other side. Burning
shingles and sparks started the fire
in the squares on the North side Of
Mulberry street, between Cathedral
and Park streets. The fire then dash
ed across the street to the Academy
of Arts. The dome of the Cathedral
at one time was on fire, but was put
out by citizens who were stationed on
the roof, prepared for it At LILO
o'clock, the castings Of the windows
of St. Alphonsus Church were on fire
for the third time. Sparks were
showered all over the church from
the burning houses in front and along
the side of it.
4P. M.-The fire is now complete
ly under control, and many who re-
moved their goods and furniture on
blockf adjacent to the fire arc now
moving back Reports are still circu-
lated that several children have been
buried and men killed, but strict in
quiry at the Marshaps office fails to
verify any death by burning.
From the latest adviccs it is sup
posed that tho loss Of property will
not exceed 100000. No lives were
lost. Some sixty families are home
less.

Vile, is badly behind in school funds,
and when we call upon the County
Treasurer arc told that the fault lies
at your doors in not remitting about
seven thousand nine hundred dollars {:
(s7,900) balance due on check for
1872, amounting to over eleven thou
sand dollars:
This balance was provided for at
the last collection of taxes as appears
bv the County Treasurer's books.
This deficiency tax was authorized
by act approved Dec. 20, 1872, p &c
. 306. Allow me to ask, and please
answer, why is it, when the tax pay,
ers of Abbeville place in your hands
this deficiency tax, (7,9O0,l to be ap.
piled to the school claims of ls71-'72
the money cannot be got out of the
Treasury. 1t was put there in JAIN
nary, and should by lazy have been
back to US in thirty days.
Please let US have the money anc
explain to q tax payer and Citizen
and holder of school claims, th'
reason of the long detention. We cal
get no reason from tho County Treas
prer.
