AN incident occurred number Of years ago, when
the late Abraham D. Russell one of the judges of
the Court of General Sessions Judge Russell was

that two prisoners-one Israelte and the other a
Chrstian-were brought before him for sentence,
charged with similar crimes. The Christian was SEN
fenced to one years Imprisonment and the Jew to
three years Imprisonment. Upon being asked why
he dealt more severely with the Jew than with the
Christian, Judge Russell answered
THAT mans forefathers received the law upon
Mt. Sinai, and true descendant Of Israel, he is
bound to know all about it and live up to it.
"The other fellow is Christian, and while NOR

quite aside from Zonism, to build number of great

This work is to be assisted and extended by great

A Dastardly Act.

Four colored men are in the Jail
in this city charged with assaulting
young colored girl by the name of
Emma Slime. The facts as we learn.
ed them are these: A man by the
name of Roberts and the girl were
going west on the B. & o. tracks,
the girl said, on their way to Pitts.
burg early on Saturday evening
last, when eight colored men came
upon them near the Lime Kiln and
took the girl away from Roberts,
who was we'll taken care of while
the gang accomplished their pur-
pose. The assault was committed
within sight of several houses in the
reighborhood and there were num-
Der of other men and tramps
around, but no one interferred. The
crime is dastardly one, and justice
should be melted out to them. The
other four have not been caught.

Serious Conflagration.

On Thursday afternoon, about 8
o'clock, the fire-alarm on the City
Hall sounded az alarm of fire, and
the Fire Department quickly re-
sponded. Upon second, third,
fourth and fifth alarm being sound
cd, it caused a fourth of the popula-
ton to turn out to see where it was.
The fire was in the Third Ward near
the Wooden Mill, and was caused by
the residence of Mr.. Cyrus Mat
thews, on Stephen street, igniting
from defective fue. A high wind
was blowing ard the fire being fam
ned, the blaze spread rapidly. The
house adjoining Mr.. Matthews, on
the east, belonging to Mrs. Shipley,
widow lady, next caught, and its
destruction was as great as the
other. The property belonging to
the DeGrange heirs on the west and
an adjoining residence on the east al.
so caught, but the efforts of the fire.
men prevented their destruction. 1t
looked for time as If many other
residences would he consumed as it
was quite little while before the
fremen could get to work on the
flames, there being no fire plugs in
the near vicinity, and the hose hay
ing to be spliced from two reels be.
fore stream could be turned on.
The flames spread so rapidly that
very little OF the furniture and
household effects of the two fami-
lies could be saved. The loss of
the property and household goods
will amount to about $4,000, and
falls heavily upon the losers, as
there was no insurance upon any of
it. Thousands gathered in the vi
entity to see the work of destruction
by the flames. We cannot agree
with the Daily World that the fire.
men were slow in getting to work.
Considering all things, that they
were unable to throw water after
getting to the fire, we think their
work was rapid. We know that
three minutes had not elapsed from
the time the alarm was turned in
until the hose carriage from the City
Hall was at the scene of the confia-
grafton. Their work was anything
but slow. We can agree, however,
that there did not seem to be any
direct head to give instructions.
Such rapid destruction of property
we have not seen in this city for
years, and it was a hard one for our
fire laddies to subdue.

The Telephone.

On Tuesday Lineman Jos. Craw-
ford, of the Winchester Telephone
Company, staked off an extension to
this line from its present terminus
to the other side of Darkesyille, and
when the weather clears he will
stake off the remaining six miles be.
tween that point and Martinsburg.
In a comparatively short time
twenty-five miles between this city
and Martinsburg will be traversed
by line that will enable the two
places to converse with almost the
same ease that they would employ
when meeting one another in either
place. OF course a trifling sum will
be asked of all non. subscribers for
the use of this privilege. In
deed the contamination of that tele-
phone connection between this city
and Baltimore, while it may seem
mythical to some, is not improbable.

A Narrow Escape.

As Cumberland Valley train No.
s was approaching the pike crossing,
north of this place, on Tuesday, a
horse and buggy containing a lady
and gentleman approached the cross
ing, and although they heard the
whistle and knew the train was
coming, they whipped the horse in
defying manner and crossed the
tracks. The speed of the train had
to be checked to prevent striking
them. Had the occupants of the
vehicle been struck by the train
and killed, no doubt the company
would have been blamed, and proba-
bly, sued for damages. People
cannot be too careful in crossing
railroad tracks, foolhardy ones, es-
pecially. This is warning to 9TH
ers to be more careful.
