What They Lost.

During the lumber yard fire near
the Sunset depot Thursday night, the
residence of Burt Ashford, 800 Nolan
street, was robbed. Mr.. Ashford and
Mr.. Murray left their wives at Mrs.
Murray's house and went to the fire.
During their absence a man entered
Ashford's house and began carrying
oat the furniture. Mr.. John Bollons
saw this, but thought it was Mr.. Ash
ford. Finally he called to him and
the man threw the chair away and
ran. Detectives and police and the
county bloodhounds were called and
put on the track, but lost it at
East Commerce street, on account of
so many crossing the footprints going
to the fire. The property taken con-
sisted of some household furniture
and silver service presented as a
wedding gift from the Uniform Rank

Ex-Firemen Object.

Some of the eX-volunteer firemen
have taken the LIGHT to task for re-
porting that the paid firemen did
their work very we'll at the Martin &
Schryver lumber fire and saved adj
joining property. They claim the
firemen did not do their work we'll;
that they were assisted by the police
and by the street commission err
men, and were unable. themselves, to
handle the fire.
These statements, ii seems, would
have to be decided definitely
by an expert, more expert as fire.
man than the LIGHT reporter, but he
or any other fairminded man, not
suffering with petty prejudice, could
see, Thursday night, that the paid
fifemen did do good in saving ada
cent property. While they went about
their work rather awkwardly and
had the disadvantage of being jeered
by the crowd, still they worked quiet.

About Sixty Divorce CASES in Sight at the Court
Rcus.-Ths Grand Jury II SESSION and
Will Report To-Day.

The Circuit Court assembled for the
November term at half-past nine O'Clock
Yesterday morning, Judge PAUL pre-
siding in Part Two. Tho names OF the
grand jurymen were called and Messrs.
B. Stanley, n. E. Whitaker, j. l.. Saw
tell and John Neuhard were excused.
Their places were filled with Messrs.
Andrew Hamilton, w. S. Foose, William
Ellingham and Col. August Rolf. Capt.
s. L. Brice was chosen foreman. The
other jurymen are Messrs. A. +. Carter,
Frederick Nolte, Joseph Bodley, G.
Bayha, w. F. Meyers, NJ. l.. OFT and
Leroy Alexander.
There was about the usual mtscel-
laneous crowd of witnesses In attend
ance, the Prosecuting Attorney having
summoned about one hundred ana thir-
ty in all, nearly half OF them, however,
being set down for examination to-day.
Work did not progress very fast during
the morning, although there were no
cases of grave Importance up Tor lnVes-
tigation, but in the afternoon better
time was made. 1t will be late this
afternoon, however, before the jury is
ready to report. 1t was decided oy
Judge PAUL to call the criminal docket
Thursday morning, and the civil docket
tho afternoon of the same day.
A large slice Of the business OF the
present term will be the consideration
of divorce cases, forty-seven being now
upon the docket full-iedged and ready
for investigation, while a dozen or nj
teen more are in the preliminary stages
This is the largest number or divorce
cases ever on the docket in this Court,
and this arises partly because the alb
sence of one Judge has caused an ac-
emulation, and partly because there
have been more coming in the last Few
months than usual In our Courts
divorce proceedings are always heard
in chambers, there being no
publicity attached to the evidence,
which is for the most part
submitted in the form OF dispositions,
for the inspection of the Judge at
moments of leisure between cases or in
Ia the intervals between the daily SEES
sions of Court. A reporter got hold OF
some of the evidence TO be submitted In
certain of these cases, few days ago,
and it was pretty tough, the examina-
ton of one witness, as TO what he knew
about the treatment OF a wife oy nus
band, being very much to the point.
Most OF the plaintiffs are wives, alleg-
ing all sorts of things against their hus-
bands.

Good Progress Being Made-Tho rimbers
VIII he Up In Week


Very noticeable progress has been
made during the past two or three days
in getting up the timber false work for
the Main street stone bridge. and In
few days the heaviest of the timbers
will be in place. Yesterday the mast
of the southwest of the two derricks
standing on thaaelevated platforms on
the east side of the bridge was gotten
up, and the boom will soon follow. Two
engines yet remain to be located. one
on each side OF the creek, to work these
derricks, and they will be ready by the
time the timber is all framed together.
Mr.. ID. NJ. Carey said yesterday, IN re-
Spouse to query as to when he would
commence laying the arch stone:
"We will put two more gangs OF car
penters to work tomorrow, one OF them
having been heretofore at work In the
timber yards at Twenty-nlnth street,
and the other engaged on terminal
work along the creek, and IL we are not
interiered with from any cause we hope
to get the last of the timber in position
a week from to-day. There has been
some criticism, know. concerning de-
lays, but they have been unavoidable.
No one who has not been through such
a job as this can have any adequate con-
ception of the trouble consequent upon
having to depend upon sub-contractors
for timber, iron and all the varied ma
terial entering into the work. The pre-
paration Of plans, too, IS very dig
thing, and takes lots of time. 1t took
big gang OF men four solid months to
frame the timbers alone, and that work
is Just finished. We anticipate no fur
Their delays, however, and will rush the
bridge right along, as fast as possible. ="
