kitchen on the farm of Mr. Jas. ~ Shirley,
in the oceupahcy of Capt. Geo. W. Engle,
was destroyed by fire on Friday morning week.
A large quantity of bacon and some clover
seed were stored in the building. Mrs. Eugle
succeeded in saving portion of the bacon
burning herself slightly in doing so-but
about 400 pounds of the meat aud all the
cloverseed were lost. Capt. Eugle was some
distance from the house at the time of the
confagration, and whilst Fastening home was
thrown from his horse and his left arm in
jured. The kitchen being detached from the
main dwelling, the timely assistance of neigh
bors saved it from injury. Fire was commu-
nicated to the kitchen from the chimney on
the outside.

JUSTICE AND GAS BILLS.

We publish elsewhere a communica-
tion signed Justice" taking up the
cudgels in favor Of the gas trustees in re
Spouse to certain structures on them in
the Sunday paper, alleging that they
were in some way responsible for the
heaviness of the gas bills.
We know that it is considered fashion
able in all cities to abuse gas companies
and gas men generally, and IN many cases
this abuse is justifable. But in this in
stance we must confess that our sympa
thies are with the gas trustees Not only
is very good case made out for
them by our correspondent, but we
cannot, for the life of ua, see
how they can be held responsible
because private individuals choose to
run up big gas bills. If the trouble is
with the metre, any man can, as Justice
says, watch that instrument, and if he
has reason to suspect its iniidelity, all he
has to do Is to report his suspicious to the
Trustees, who will have the metre tested
and thus settle the matter. We all hate
gas bills, of course, but if we will burn
1t, We must expect to pay for it, aud it Is
hardly fair to blame the gas officials un.
less there is positive reason to know that
they have done something blame
worthy. Certainly We know of no fact,
to justify any such belief in the case UNI

statute. His Honor cited authority from
The State of New York, and also referred
% the. opinion Of the Supreme Court Of
delivefed-in the case
Of N. B.. CABELLs application for writ
of habeas corpus in which the coDciu-'
sion had been reached that Mr.
CABELL could not protect himself
from answering questions propounded-
to him by the Committee, Tor
for the reason that he was protected by
the Goth section of chapter l52 OF the
Code against any introduction or use Of
his evidence against him in any subse-
quent criminal proceeding. This deci-
sion is of the greatest interest an impor-
lance, not so much on account OF the
question settled in this case, as on &C.
count of the proposition upon which 1t
seems to be based, viz: That no person
called to give evidence in any legal pro-
ceeding can invoke the provision OF the
Constitution to shield him from testifying
on the ground that his evidence may
criminste!himself, in any case in which
the law has provided that no statement
made by him as witness in such legal
proceeding shall ever be given in evil
dence against him.
The managers recalled Mr.. McCAN-
LIsH for the purpose of having some
correction made in their testimony as
reported.
Mr.. j. N. CAMDEN appeared and
asked leave TO maxi some explanation
in regard to his testimony which was
granted.
Governor JACOB was called and the
managers asked him whether the Treas
urer made the semi-annual report requir-
cd by law, to be made by the Governor.
Objection was made by the respondents
counsel and discussion thereon continued
to the hour of adjournment, no decision
having been reached.
