The Report of the Monmouth Fire
Inquest.


WINTHROP, July 14.-After a two-days'
session and the examination of more than
twenty reliable witnesses the jury of inquest
regarding the origin Of the Monmouth fire
have made public their report, completely
generating all suspected parties of any
criminal action and dispelling beyond doubt
the incepdiary story. The report further
alleges that the FIRE caught in the basement
of Edwards & Flaharty's store among the
paints and oils and other infamaflle goods
kept therein. They pronounce the cause
entirely accidental, the fire probably origi-
mating from painters smoking in the base
ment while mixing paints for painting the
outside Of the store, which was then in pro-
gress. The jury was composed of some of
Winthrop's best known citizens, Postmaster
Henry Penniman, DR.. A. p. Snow and Levi
Jones. Their report is very gratifying to
Edwards 81 Flaherty, who have been under
suspicion since the fire.

house and ell, and the furniture, except that

The Oity Council,

A special meeting of the City Council
was held last night for the purpose of in
vestigating charges against the City
Marshal, l. V. Drysdale.
President w. M. Ingraham and Alder
men B. Genovar, Thomas F. Lemis, j.
F. Llambias, G. w. Atwood and E. d.
Sabin were present.
Alderman Sabin moved that the rules
be waived and the Board go into COM
mittee of the whole with closed doors.
Motion adopted.
EEae Marshal was instructed to clear
the room. This being matter of gen
eral interest, it is questionable if the
Council had right to exclude the pub
lie, and this doubt was expressed by one
of the Aldermen.
1t being the request of the Marshal to
go into secret session, the Board deemed
it advisable to accede Still, it is the
opinion that such proceeding will be
more likely to injure than to help the
cause of the Marshal.

hobby. They are suspicious of such ex
pensive facts. When they are told by
practical hotel men that man could
not accept the house, furnished com
plets, as gift, and run it to pay eXpen-
ses, they are more than ever convinced
that there is an Ethiopian somwhere in
the woodpile. The extensive purchases
of other Standard Oil people in the inn
mediate vicinity and throughout the
State seem TO give color to the rumors
that there is something behind all this.
One thing is certain. AT the present
rate of purchase, the Standard Oil Com
pany is in a pretty fair way to own the
State of Florida, politically and geo.
graphically, What they propose to do
with it time only can show. The most
reasonable explanation is that they are
accommodating as much land as possible
and building the great hotels as the
means to increase the value of their adj
jacent real estate. Anastasia Island,
across the bay, is being cut up into
building lots and railroad has been
built to connect with a steam ferry from

the co mmittee is endeavoring to find a
location for engine houses SO that the
engines may be located at suitable points.
We recommend that two rooms be
finished off in the present engine house
and furnished with beds, etc., which
shall be occupied by two firemen from
each engine company. whose duty it
shall be to be in said quarters every
night after o o'clock, and to see that the
engines are supplied with water and
fuel and to be ready for service at the

shall be such as the City Council shall
determine. We recommend that a pre-
MUM of so each be offered to the first
two suitable spans of horses that shall
arrive after the fire alarm and take said
