WILBUR'S STORE BURNED.
Sunday Mornings Blaze at Allenton's
Corners, General Store Destroyed.
A Suspicion That tho Fire Was of
Incendiary Origin.

The store and dwelling house owned
by "A. A. Wilbur at Allenton's Corners
were totally destroyed by fire Sunday
morning at / o'clock. There is a sus.
picion that the fre was sot.
The lower part OF the house was OF
brick and here the store was located.
The upper part was wood where Mr..
Wilbur and his family lived. Shortly
before o'clock Mr.. Wilbur awoke and
smelling smoke he arose to investigate.
lie saw. that the store was ablaze and
rousing the other inmates an effort was
made TO save some Of the valuables. Mr..
Wilbur succeeded in saving his books and
cash OH hand, and the piano was also re-
moved from the dwelling place. Ali else
was destroyed. Nothing remains but the
foundation to mark tho site of the gen.
eral store. The fire started in the front
part of the store. A neighbo on his way
home just before the fire told Mr.. Wilbur
that he saw a man leave the driveway
and cross the road. He jumped into a
buggy ana drove rapidly away in the
direction of Slocumville. This circum-
stance leads to the belief that the IRE
was set. Mrs. Wilbur luckily saved 5000.
Saturday she left home on visit, and a
friend knowing that she had the money
advised her to put IL In place OF safety.
When she left home she took the money
with her, otherwise il would have gone
up in smoke with the rest of the Prop
erty.
The barn adjoining the store was not
damaged.
The property was insured for $500
through Wexford agency.

WHAT CHEER HARBOR l3.
The Flag Of Masters and Pilots on the
Dorchester.

Dui uiNuSatSis
A blue flag with the mum Der "13" en-
circled In white was riddle to most Of
the 4UO fortunate gentlemen who enjoyed
tnat delig htful trip on the Dorchester
Saturday afternoon, as the guests OF the
Merchants and Miners transportation
Company and Mayor McGuinness.
TIE flag was on short staff at the
PROV OF the big vessel, and was q banner
of mystery Some thought 1t was a signal
for pilot, but that was ridiculous, for
Captain Parker doesn't need pilot.
Others thought that IL signiiied that the
Dorchester was the thirteenth ship in
the NJ. AN. fleet, and the superstitious
guests had various notions, tho most
prevalent being that the trip would be
unlucky, because the Aid erman from the
Second Ward was absent, or because
Assem- blyman George a. Littlofieid was
going to leave the ship and go ashore in
q tug, or, thirdly, because president VIII
liam j.. knight OF the IL. /. B. NJ. a.
was going to leave of the east coast OF
Prudence, and, like an intrepid adyen-
turer, go ashore In a skin. But all three
explanations were wrong and foolish.
The blue flag with the figures "lS' Is
the organization emblem of What Cheer

tire sum locked up in II the previous Sat-
urday night had been abstracted. A re-
ward of 5000 which was offered for the
apprehension OF the robbers failed to ac-
complish that purpose, but subsequently.
through negotiations, the bank recover
ed about S75, 900 OF the plunder. During

robber was the middle-aged business
man who had opened an account with the
bank. During his visits he had obtained
an impression in wax OF the key to the
safe ana had duplicate key made that
opened the strong box without trouble.
The robber was never prosecuted.

POliceman's Theory of
Epidemic Of Breaks.
Tramps, He Believes, are
Perpetrators Of Crimes.
How the Old Merchants Bank Safe
Was Looted OF 100000.

There appears 10 bs no diminution in
the attempts TO break ano enter and rob
from which the city and the-citizens nave
suffered for many months past. Not a
night passes without one or more OF these
cases being reported, and the conditions
prevailing can justly be designated us
epidemic. An intelligent member OF
the police force with whom the Gossiper
chatted last evening has an explanation
Of the unusual number of attemptei
robberies which certainly seems reason
able, and on investigations would prob
ably be found to be not very fer from
the truth. II is his opinion that a very
large proportion of the "oreaks" and sat
tempted breaks" are the work OF tramps.
In some cases ne admits local crooks may
be responsible, but the great majority OF
the crimes nre committed by members OF
the tramp fraternity.

"The fact is," he continued, "we have
more tranips here now than ever before,
and l believe the leniency of our present
laws are i'm great measure responsible FOR
the presence of these undesirable fellows
in such large mum bers. They are treated
altogether too well. They are assumed
TO be honest but unfortunate. while as a
matter OF fact the hobo will turn thief
whenever the opportunity TO steal any
thing presents itself. In a good many
cases he will go out OF his way TO make
the opportunity, and 1t is to this dis
position on his part that we are having
so many attempts mt robbery at this
season. Then there is another matter
which has an important bearing on this
subject OF the frequency OF such at
tempts. The cheap lodging houses, OF
which the city has altogether too many
for its own good, draw a very undesira-
BILE class of sojourDers here.
