Two Houses.

Two Houses.
A fire occurred in the rear portion of a
dwelling house occupied by Richard Perot,
at Eleventh street and Woodlawn avenue,
beyond the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad at

started in the kitchen and was evidently

was allowed to burn all night. The flames
communicated to the house of James Mob
lit, adjoining, and before the firemen
could reach the scene the buildings were
partially destroyed. The fire department
was summoned by fire alarm box No. liz
ringing shortly after midnight When
they arrived on the scene both houses were
enveloped in flames.
The department had great difficulty in
obtaining water. A line of hose was at
tached to plug at Tenth and Union
streets, and second hose was run from
the fire plug at the works of the Delaware
Hard Fibre Company. As soon as the
iiremen got their hose upon the fire the
flames we're rapidly diminished. The
front portion of the houses were saved
from the flames, but the rear portion:
were entirely destroyed. Some Of the fur
niture was saved from the dwellings but (
portion Of the bedroom furniture was de
stroyed. The occupants were compelled t.
seek shelter at the house of neighbor
The houses are owned by Joseph Nichol
of Centreville, and are insured. The los
is estimated at about 81 500 on the house
and 81 600 on the contents.

THE PARASOL BROKE,
BUT. IT SERVED TO TEACH A
MAsHsR A LESSON. a.
An Incident which Occurred Yesterday
Morning at Sixth-strset Park
which Points .
Moral

Sixth street park appears to be the
most popular spot for ''mashers" Of any
in the city. Another episode took place
there early the other morning, which
for real nerve ranks above all former
similar occurrences.
A lady who had been attending sick
person in the vicinity was returning to
her home at 8 o'clock in the morning.
When she arrived at the corner of Sixth
street and Grand avenue, = ''swell"
with the appearance of Bowery dude
approached her and and said he "would
like her company"
As luck would have 1t, the lady was
carrying a heavy parasol. This eye
eliminator was brought into immediate
requisition, and she smashed It over the
fresh young masher's head. Twice she
struck him with all her might, twisting
him around like unto cork In q whirl-
pool. He gathered his pedalistic ap.
pendsges together and betook himself
at lightning speed adown the street.
A business man going to his homo and
happening to see the incident, called
upon the young scoundrel to halt. This
only heightened his gait and he soon
'slid his frame" out Of sight in the cold
gray morning. fog.
The lady was seen safely to her home.

SAN PEDRO OFFICIALS.

The Result of tho Supsrvisorial In
vesti CATION.
The board of supervisors heard teeti-
mony yesterday in the San Pedro case,
wherein Justice Moore, Constable Peter
Winther and City Marshal Hult were
thought to have been playing q slick
game in mulcting the county for official
services.
Justice Moore, who is considerable OF
a character in his way. was put through
pretty vigorous examination by Chair
man Cook, and as be said, told the
truth and shamed the devil"
The rumofs that the board had heard
were that Constable Winther would
work along until he did his $83 worth or
monthly quota of business; that then
be would go away and the justice would
turn all the bu sinees for the rest of toe
month over to City Marshal Hult.
whose demands were approved by the
district attorney. and thus quite q
pretty penny would be turned.
Justice Moora said 1t did look queer
that the constable should have been
away during the latter part of the
months of May, June and July, the
time when the city marshal toyed with
official processes for him, and he could
not explain it. He denied that there
was any understanding between him
and any one about the business, but
said that certainly it did look bad. He
had given papers to Mr.. Hult to serve
when the constable was away. but did
not know he was doing anything wrong.
Constable Wintber threw some light
on the mystery by explaining that dur
ing the latter part of May and June he
and Justice Moore were undergoing q
period of coolness and he did not know
any other explanation for the service OF
papers by Marshal Hult. Winther came
up to see the district attorney about the
matter at the time, but saw Judge Ut
ley, he said, and was told that in his
absence the city marshal could be called
on. He had no upderstandjpg with
Hult, because he objected to hil serving
the papers and, altogether, Oonstabls
Winther thought he was . very much
abused man.
District Attorney Dillon asked quite q
number OF questions of the witnesses
and it was evident that no understand
ing had been made with his Office.
Justice Moore was inclined to be quite
facetious at times, but WAS very much
stirred up beneath his jocular demeanor
over the Investigation.
The board gave him clearly to under
stand that the "periods of coolness"
between him and his constable must
cease, and that no demands for services
performed by the city marshal would
hereafter be recognized.
The Investigation 10 expected to have
a salutary effect on the methods OF
justices and constables throughout the
county.
