Succession This Morning.


Succession This Morning.
The city firemen were eating their
breakfast at Z o'clock this morning, when
the alarm was sounded. The gong
struck "26" and the fire was in the gro
Gerry store of A. A. Buck, at 735 east
Eighth street
The fire caught in the hay room back
of the store. The chimney cap had be-
come displaced, and burning SCOT dropped
on the floor and ignited a pile of rub
bish. The blaze ran up the partition to
the roof by the tim 9 the department ar
rived, but it was extiuguished before it
spread to the other parts of the building,
and the damage was small.
The horses had just backed into their
stalls, and visions of an unfinished break
fast were dancing before the eyes of the
firemen, when the gong again sounded,
this time from Sixth and Topeka av-
enue.
The fire was in the basement of the
brick building, at 220 west Sixth avenue,
occupied by the International subscrip-
ton agency, and a confectionery estab-
lishment owned by c. B. futile. The
blaze started mysteriously in bundle of
old papers in the basement, and burned
through the first floor where it was
stopped by the firemen. The damage
probably amounts to 500

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain Pain Balm.
When it is kept at hand the severe pain
or a burn OF scland may be promptly re-
lieyed and the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has TO be sent
for. A sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets in, which in-
sures cure in about one-third the time
otherwise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate attention, be-
fore the parts become swollen, and
when Chamberlain Pain Balm is APP
piled it will heal them without mat
ter being formed, and without leave
ing scar. A sore throat may be cured
in one night. A piece of flannel dam
pened with this liniment and bound on
over the seat Of the pain, will cure lam
back or pain in the side or chest in twen-
ty-fOur hours It is the most valuable,
however, for rheumatism. Persons
afflicted with this disease will be delight
ed with the prompt relief from pain
which affords, and can be depended upon
to effect complete cure. For sale by

Foard was brother Of J. McDonough
Foard, editor and proprietor of the Old
Golden Era Magazine, and WAS clever
writer. 1t is safe to say that his wishes
were strictly carried out by the "craft"
and that his ''form" was sacredly ''lock-
ed up" and laid to rest as befitted the
venerable printer. AS a rule printers
have hearts that are easily touched
hearts that are ever open to deserving

dead printer seemed 10 have just such a
heart as is found in the breast of print
ers generally, and Annapolis printers
are no exception to the rule.
