pEMocRAcY. INFLATIoN. RUE.

After prolonged and bitter debate. both in
Committee and Convention, the Pennsylvania
Democrats yesterday adopted an imitation plat
form. This is good. We are glad to see It
They are giving their party another shove on
the road to ruin, and afforiing the Republicans
a fresh and fuller opportunity Of becoming the
party Of sound currency, specie payment, and
safety in finance. We are not sure that this Pc
sition viii be promptly taken by the Pennsyly2-
MIA Republicans. They will wait. no doubt, to
sec the result il Ohio. But by 1916, they must
come on it with the rest of the party The Dem

FIRE ON MEADOW STREET.
Partial Destruction of the Residence
of the Sisters OF Charity.

On Wednesday morning about half-past
house of the Sisters of Charity on Meadow
street, and before water could be obtained
the house was partially destroyed. As
soon as the alarm was given the fire COM
panies quickly responded, but found on
their arrival that the roof Of the building
was in flames. 1t appears that the house
keeper, Sister Malachi, who was alone in
the house, first discovered the smell of
smoke, and on finding that the roof was on
fire, started out and aroused the neighbors.
Several men then endeavored to quench
the flames with the snow which covered
the roof and was then falling. Others
went to work with a will and removed
the furniture, household goods and nearly
everything in the house to u safe distance,
even before the alarm was given at the
railroad shops. This was given at the in
stance of Messrs. ii. w. Nyc and Louis
Martell, who happened to be III the vicinity
and noticing the fire gave an alarm at the
railroad shop and the whistle was then
sounded. Meanwhile those who had ar
rived on the spot were working desperate
ly to put out the fire, and even chopped a
hole in the south side of the house to give
a better opportunity of throwing water
ing upon them when the engines arrived
and the chimney soon fell in.
Washington No. 2 laid their hose from a
hole through the ice at the creek, which is
situated some twenty rods in the rear of
the house, while Nlckwackett No. passed
| by TO an open place in the creek farther on,
succeeded In filling their hose in short order,
but unfortunately for them the hose burst
under so sudden pressure and before they
could supply the defect No. Q had got q
stream playing upon the fire. The Nicks
threw n stream upon the south side of the
burning building. The steamer arrived
about this time and soon had another
stream upon the fire, which was by this
time undergo control and fast dying out
The Hooks were on the ground early
and during the last stages of the
fire pulled down the front of the
building to give better access TO the flames
and stop the spread of the fire. Chief En-
pineer Landon and Assistants Dunn and
billiard were on hand and did good scr
vice. Especial mention may well be made
of hoseman Matt. Eastman and King Han
mum, to whom is due much of the credit o.

Horse THIEF Caught.

In our last issue we noted the fact that a
young man had run away with team be-
longing to Breed & Ingeston of Crown
Point about one week ago, had left the
team at Schofeld's hotel in Pittsford and
disappeared. We are glad to announce that
the thief was caught on Wednesday at
Whipple Hollow, near West Rutland.
The name of the thief is Myron De
Larme; he is son-in-law of Milo Bowen
of West Rutland and formerly lived there.
On Wednesday morning he came to the res
idence of Darwin II. Smith in Whipple
Hollow and wanted to hire out Smith
knew him and had heard of his theft of the
horse and buggy. He therefore, after ques-
tioning him, took him in custody, and in
company with Whipple Mills, a neighbor,
went to Pittsford, where he was at once
identified by Mr.. Schofeld's clerk as being
the man who had left the team there
Smith Immediately telegraphed to Crown
Point and also to Burlington informing the
parties of the apprehension of the thief.
While at Pittsford and in company with
Smith, the thief, in going from the barn to
the hotel, suddenly ''lit out" and with the
speed of deer disappeared over the hill
near the house of MIR. Hendee, by jump
ing, with much agility, high picket fence
near the house. Smith pursued, and with
the assistance of Mr.. Douglas and his
team soon surrounded the culprit about a
mile and half away, near the residence of
Mr.. Loyeand. The distance named was
Travelled by De Larme in about ten minutes.
AT the depot Deputy Sheriff Peabody
was in waiting and was there met by Smith
and his prisoner, where the handouts were
put upon DE Larme and he was brought to
Rutland and lodged in Jail, to await the ar
rival of the parties who owned the stolen
property. DE Larme has confessed the
theft and will be dealt with to the full ben
eft of the law undoubtedly.
Great credit is due Mr.. Smith in his ef-
forts to bring the prisoner to justice and
his.pluck in following him to the bitter
end.

JOHN Y. PHAIR ON HIS MUSCLE.
He Assalls Deputy Sheriff Milling
ton and the JanItOr.

John p. Phair, the murderer, confined in
the Rutland county Jail awaiting the ses-
sion of the supreme court TO decide upon
his application for a new trial. has again
brought himself into public notice by his
transactions at the Jail on Thursday even
ing. Until within the last three days he
has been quiet and peaceable, but on
Thursday evening when Abram Barber
the colorcd janitor at the Jail, went into
space near his cell to get cot bed, upon
which he slept, Phair called him up to the
CRATES and began using abusive language to
him, and dashed a basin of dirty water into
the negro's face. Abram rushed into the
presence of Deputy Sheriff Mlllngton, ex-
claiming, "Look at dat See what dat
feler's done to me-"
Mr.. Milington immediately went to
Ihairs cell and asked him what the matter
was. He said the Niger and other SER
wants had abused him, and Immediately
began to swear and rave, squaring himself
in a fighting ettltudc, using threatening
language toward Mr.. Millngton, saying,
~ will fix you if ever get out of here.
He also said, elf ever get out of here
will cut that ID niggers' throat"
The sheriff knows no reason for Phalrs
sudden change of conduct. He has always
been kindly treated and had many favors
shown him. His strange aversion to the
colored man cannot be accounted for, as
Abram has shown great sympathy for him
and has, repeatedly, from his scanty wages,
purchased tobacco and given it to him, as
has also the servant girl at the jail
The prisoner has had much sympathy
manifested toward HIM. He has been gen.
tlemanly and of quiet and peaceable be-
protesting his innocence of the
crime of which he has been convicted. No
explanation can be given of this sudden
change of conduct just on the eve of the
hearing of his case in the supreme court,
only upon the theory OF insanity or feign-
ed insanity, or that some sudden spasm of
ugliness has come over him. He has now
lost all sympathy on the part of those hay
ing him in charge-and the remaining days
of his stay at the Jail will probably not be
as agreeable and pleasant as they have here
tofore been.
