Guests and Servants Had n Providentiai
Escape From Death.
PHILADELPHIA, May 15.--The fire in
the Aldine hotel was caused by de-
fective flue in the bake house. The
building was badly gutted and caused a
loss estimated at about $4,000. The
100 guests in the house and the servants
escaped uninjured after an exciting ex-
perience.
There were about 125 guests in the
hotel, among them were many prominent
business and professional men. A. A.
Mcleod, ex-president of the Reading
road, had fine apartments on the second
floor. The servants were first awakened
and scattered through the house arous-
ing the sleeping guests. Awakened from
a sound sleep and ignorant of how near
the danger might be nearly all the guests
rushed from their rooms with but little
except their night dresses. To add to
the terrors of the situation the electric
lights went out aud the darkened hGlls
were filed with shrieking women and
frightened men cropping their way
through smoke toward the stairs. Push
ing, jostling and scrambling, the terri
fed crowd made Its way down the dark
stairs to the street, and all provident:ally
escaped. When the hremen arrived
they soon got the flames under control,
but not before the roof was burned off
and the house thoroughly flooded.

TEN CENTS.
A Heavy Verdict Rendered in
Common Pleas Court.


"Juries do not award damages In large
sums In Stark county" remarked Judge
Taylor to q NEWS DEMOCRAT man a short
time after the jury in the case Of Geo. W.
Keiser against Morgan MachAmer had
reported their verdict. II would seem TINT
such is the case. There was considerable
outside interest in the case and much
speculation as to the action of the jury.
The suit was brought to recover &, 900 FOX
alleged SANDER, il being claimed that
Machamer had called Keiser a thief. In
n case for slapder, the alleged SLAMS
derous utterances are presumed by law to
be malicious. Whether there be malice
in fact or simply malice implied by the
law, Is question for the jury and 10 q
circun. stance in the case, guiding the jury
to a proper conclusion, No one can slans
der another without malice, though the
slanderous utterances may be made
against the man without the intention to
do him injury. In libel suits, where the
defamatory statements are published, the
law no longer implies malice, having
been changed recently. The new
law does not affect Islander
cases and malice is still implied. The
found that the statements complained OF
had been uttered at oil, they were uttered
maliciously, under the law. The jury should
then bring in verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, in some amount, The plaintiff
was entitled therefore to nominal dam
al es.
After wrestling with the case for about
an hour and half, the jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff In the sum of 10
cents. This verdict, being less than IS,
does not carry with 1t the costs in the case.
