Fire at Point Marion.

PoINT MARION, June 20.-About 2
o'clock this morning the house of
Simeon McClain caught fire and
narrowly escaped destruction. A gas
jet left burning in the dining room
caught the ceiling, burning hole
there and transmitting the flames to
the upper story where bed was
completely burned up. All the win
dows in the house were down, thus
preventing the spreading of the fire,
and it was put out before much dam
age was done.

NARROW ESCAPE.
CoIored Servant Attempts to Poison the
Family of Judge j. j. Jackson.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, June 21.--
Quite a sensation was caused in the
city last night by the arrest of Harris
Moore, colored servant in the fam
lily of Judge John J. Jackson, on a
charge OF attempting to poison Mrs.
Jackson and her daughter, Miss Lily
Irene.
When the family sat down to sup
per Mrs. Jackson detected queer
taste in some of the food, especially
the roast chicken. She had eaten
some of the chicken before she en-
countered enough OF. the poison, which
investigation proved to have been
placed upon it, to be able to detect
it.
She became very sick and physi
clan was at once summoned.
Mrs. Jackson had not eaten enough to
affect her seriously, but her condition
is serious on account of the nervous
shock caused by the terrible discovery
and her realization of. her narrow es-
cape.
Miss Lille Irene Jackson, who was
more fortunate, not having partaken
of the food, was possessed Of presence
of mind and at once telephoned for
an officer, who, upon his arrival found
Moore skulking about the premises.
Moore was under suspicion of hav
ing stolen several articles and upon
being searched a portion Of the miss
ing property was found upon his per-
Sa1 I'm his room was Il half filed
box of rough on rats.

The labor commission bill, recently
passed by Congress, will be good or bad
according to the character of the men
who are chosen for commissioners.
The commission is to be composed
of five Senators, five Representatives
and nine outsiders representing all
branches of industry. Its duty will be
to recommend legislation to Congress.

THE SENECA COUNCIL.
They are now considering the
matter of Fire Protection.

4 Special meeting will be held here to
decide what they want-A great deal
Of material will be purchased--A
number of Plugs will be put in--An
adequate protection will be afforded
to the new town They will have to
pay $I.00 and that will not be enough
to pay the towns running expenses
The condition the advocates Of
Economy have placed their town In
II much needed object lesson.
The Seneca council are considering
a very important matter and have
laid its final consideration over until
next Monday night at which time
they will have a special meeting to
pass on it. 1t is the matter OF fire
protection. At present the town to
the north of US, with all its inflama-
bic houses and factories, has not
particle of protection from tire.
Should one get started down there
but a few moments would be required
TO do tremendous damage.
The council is fully aware OF the
.condition OF affairs and they are de-
termined TO have everything fixed for
all possible contingencies. They will
buy a great deal of material and will
have an adequate service. 1t has not
been passed upon but they will more
than likely get one Thousand feet of
hose, three reels and put in six or
eight plugs The latter number will
probably be the one decided upon as
any less will not accomplish the
work that the town needs All this
material will be costly and the city
fathers are going to get 1t for the
least possible money.
The levy for the new town has not
yet been laid, but ii will be one dol
lar. This is known from the esti-
mates which have been made of the
expenses which will have to be met
and from the assessment of the prop
erty in the borough limits. This de-
cision will not add very much TO the
self satisfaction of those who voted
against coming into Morgantown as
they wished to avoid a high tax rate,
They will feel very good over the re-
Election that their amazing foresight
has enabled them TO pay as high
taxes and then they will not be able
to pay the ordinary running expenses
Of the town. No street improve
ments whatever will be made as they
will not have the money.
At the same time they have turned
"a great many people against the
proposition of annexation and they
will have to do some missionary work
In town before they get a favorable
vote In Morgantown for the PROPOSE
tion again. Taken as Il whole the
situation is full Of satisfaction to
those who wanted to come In but who
were voted down by the advocates OF
economy.
The matter Of the repairing OF the
bridge over Falling run was laid over
and will not be taken up for two
weeks again. The indications are
that no action will be taken by the
council on this matter.

HE PASSED.
Sam Frankenberry's Name was left out
Of the list by mistake-He is now at
West Point.

The lists of the applicants who
passed the examination for West
Point which we saw did not contain
the name of Sam Frankenberger and
it was thought that he had failed.
This occasioned great deal Of sur
prise as he was one of the best men
who ever attended the University.
However it has been found that he
was left off the list by mistake and
that he is now a full fledged cadet
at the military Academy.
That he will make record there
is known from what he did while a
student at the University. He is
from Charleston and was the only
man from this state to pass the ex
animation this time His many
friends here will be glad he passed.

There might be circumstances that
would cause the people Of this country
to approve an alliance with some
European nation, although we have
our doubts, but it is certain that they
would never approve an alliance with
Asiatics; therefore Japan is wasting
time limiting at an alliance with US.

Perhaps the decision to put Gen.
Miles in command of the Porto Rico
army was the way that Secretary AL
ger took to get him out of the way.
If he accompanies the army to Porto
Rico, he must necessarily relinquish
all other commands, for the time.
Still, Secretary Alger denied the re-
port that Miles had been deposed
from command of the army.

and the Small Boy.
Alex Chisholm returned this morn
ing from Point Marion to which
place he went last week to visit
friends and to fish in Cheat river.
He succeeded in capturing four fine
salmon. He corroborates the story
of the big fish attempting to swallow
Johnny Crow, and further states
that the boy was nearer swallowed
than anybody had any idea he was.
The fish was pike instead Of cat
as previously stated, and took the
boys leg in nearly to the knee. The

NO VOTE ON SPEAKERSHIP
Maryland House Adjourns Until Noon Tc-

Hard to Tell as Yet the Strength of

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, Nd, jan
uary 6.-The house of delegates took no
vote on the speakership today, deciding to
take a recess until tomorrow at noon. The
decision was reached by strict party vote,
all the republicans. voting for the adjourn
ment.
An attempt is being made to concentrate
the republicans in favor of Mr.. Oscar Quin-
Ian of Baltimore city, but it is hard to tell
what will be the outcome
The city bolters are apparently as far
apart from their colleagues as ever and
are firm in their contention that they will
vote for no one but,of their own number
Many of the most prominent republican
leaders in the state are here today trying to
unravel the tansle in which affairs are at
the present time. TIE democrats are
threatening to step in and vote with the
bolters if the party in control does not set
lie matters without much delay. 1t was re-
ported this morning, that the democrats had
made zeal with the bolters, and there is
very little doubt but that they are ready to
do so.
The probabilities are that something will
be done tomorrow, if not by the rcpubli-
cans. by a combination of democrats and
republicans.
The talk about the senatorshp is coupled
with the talk over the speakership and
the two questions seem to be closely identi-
fled in the minds of all here. The support
trS of Judge McComaS are very rluch wor-
red over the situation and do not conceal
their anxiety. The eastern shore republic
cans are today threatening to keep away
from the senatorial caucus unless they are
assured that a man from across the pay
will be chosen to succeed Senator Gorman
and the eleven city boilers are as firm as
ever In their determination to vote against
any but Baltimore man.
