Atlantic City Burning.

PART OF THE BLOCK OPPOSITE UNITED
STATES HOTEL DESTROYED.
ATLANTIC ClTY, Nov. 1925 a. m.
This morning, five minutes before one
O'Clock, a fire broke out in Charles E.
Adams grocery store, on Atlantic avenue,
between Maryland avenue and Delaware
avenue, and directly opposite the large
United Sta'es Hotel. The fire has ex-
tended on both sides. E. S. Reeds drug
store and his cottage adjoining are in
flames. Among other buildings destroy
ed are j. FL. Shinnen's shoe store and two
cottages. The entire block is in imme-
diate danger.
When the water was most needed the
whistle of the steam-engine blew long
blast, signifying that the water had given
out. As soon as the play of water stop
ped the flames sprang up, as if with de-
light, but the firemen were not disheart-
ened, and in fifteen minutes they had
water on the flames again. During the
progress of the fire MIR. Edward Taylor, a
house painter, residing in the lower end
of the city, dropped dead ON the street
while looking at the flames. He was a
subject of heart disease. His wife ran
through the streets frantic after being in
formed of his death.

twenty-five Dollars Out.

On wednesday last German from
down the State, came to this city on busi-
ness, and having concluded it, he decid-
ed to return home ON the los D. M,
train. Arriving at the depot he met two
or three friends, and proposed that they
take "smile," 10 which they all agreed.
The party then repaired to the drinking
saloon of "Hanuah Brown" on Water
street, and the German ordered the drinks
set out, which cost him over 90 cents.
He with the party returned to the de-
pot, and upon searching his pockets, he
was made painfully aware that his pock-
ct book, was missing. The wallet con-
talned about $25 in money, and 5000 in
notes. He returned to the house in aues-
ton, and upon making his loss known,
was informed that the missing article
hal not been seen in the house. Know
ing that it would be impossible to ascer-
tain who the thief was, he returned to
the depot, and left on the train a sad
der and wiser man.

In the evening, after the opening exer-

from Chaucer, and Rev. j. A. Willis, of
New York, delivered an able address on
"The Bible in the Public Schools" The

institutions, and its principles not only
actuated the early settlers of this country
In crossing the ocean to seek new
home, but permeated the entire founda-
tion of our Republican form of govern
ment. The address was attentively list

VOORHEES,. DOLLAR.

THE SENATOR PROPOSES BILL TO MAKE
TRADE DoLLARs LEGAL TENDER.
The following despatch is sent from
Cincinnati:
Senator Voorhees,, in an interview
which will be published to-morro W states
that one of his first acts upon the reas-
sembliDg of Congress will be a movement
to make the trade dollar a legal tender.
THAT" said he, twill add at once some
thing over $2O,0Oo,OOo to the circulation.
1t Ii q swindle A. it now is-a low, mean
swindle. Here they have been paying
these things out as dollar till they got
them in the peoples hands; then they
shut down suddenly aud out the holders
10 per cent" He was asked If the pro-
posed act would not simply consummate
the swindle, by giving the brokers, in
whose hands most of the trade dollars
are. the benefit of the rise. "Oh, no."
said he; '.they are mostly in the hands of
the people; but, whether they are or not,
1t simply won't do to have two kinds of
dollars out, both bearing the stamp of the
Government, but one legal ,ender, and
the other worth 10 cents less in law, and
containing more silver in fact. 1t is ri
diculous; it brings the Government into
contempt, and swindles the unwary."-
When asked if he would provide that for
every new silver dollar a greenback dol
i"i eHouiu We ietIeu,ue repleu - DIV no
means, Rather hat new one shall be
issued. There never was a truer thing
than Governor William Allen said about
specie payment. It's barren ideal
ity, indeed. We never had IT,, and
won't have it after January. There will
be a juggle between banks and the Gov
ernment, and the most of those who
want gold won't get 1t, or if they do, and
insist ON 1t, specie payments will stop
again very suddenly" Further CONVEX
sation with the Senator and with other
prominent Democrats of Indiana reveal
ed the fact that the next financial fight in
that State will be for the free and unlim-
ted coinage of silver.

SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH.

George Phillips was found dead in
his bed in Cincinnati Sunday night.
An inquest developed the fact that his
death was caused by his having durnk
large quantities of whisky. A post
mortem revealed the presence of a half
gallon of whisky in the stomach, and
floating on the top four large oysters.
The oysters formed a valve which pre-,
vented the whisky from coming up when
he attempted to relieve his stomach OF
its presence. Hence his death.
