it was decided that the appended by
law be adopted by all the members of
the association:
The clearing house association shall
have power to establish rules and reg
ulations regarding collections by mem
bers of the association, or trust COM
panies, or others clearing through such
members, and the rates to be charged
for the enforcement of the same. It
may from time to time make any ad-
ditions to or changes in such rules and
regulations as it deems judicious. Any
rule or regulation upon the subject
must receive a majority vote of all the
members, and when once it is estab-
lished it shall not be altered until it
has been in force at least three months,
and then only by a majority vote of
the Clearing House association. This
action, foreshadowed several weeks
ago, after a conference of the larger
banking interests of the west. is re-
garded as the most important that has
yet been taken in the matter of out-of-
town collections on checks, and is in
accord with the action of the New
York Clearing House association, which
put similar rules and regulations into
operation recently

FLAME, SMOKE, MYSTERY
Shrouded the Old Railroad House
Yesterday Morning.

The old Railroad house" situated
alongside the NJ. & P. tracks west of
Smiths mills was enveloped in flame
and smoke and mystery early yesterday
morning. The house had been occu-
pied for some time as rough house"
by Rita Hart and lot of female asso-
ciates. Fire was discovered in the
second story about three o'clock and
the department turned out. When it
got there the upper part was in flames
and in a short time the tin roof fell in
so that there was nothing to be done
but try to prevent the destruction of
the brick walls by heat. Water was
directed against them until daylight.
Some time between midnight and the
breaking out of the fire there was
dancing and the sound of revelry in the
house. Then there was quiet for a
time. About half past two o'clock Mrs.
B. P. Surghnor, who lives a block from
the house, was awakened by the firing
of three shots. The reports came from
the Railroad house. Then there were
two shots and some one cried: For
Gods sake don't shoot any more and
I'll quit" Other persons in the vicin-
fly heard the same thing. Ten minutes
later a cab drove up in front of the
house. two trunks were thrown into it
and it drove away. The sound of the
wheels had hardly died away until fire
started up in the second story from
half dozen places. Officer Hale and
Nightwatchman Doheney ran up and,
discharging their revolvers to give the
alarm, started into the building to
alarm the inmates. a big Saratoga
trunk lay upside down in front of the
doors. One of the front doors was
open and going into the room of the
proprietress they found it empty. The
bed was undisturbed. There was GER
tainly nobody anywhere in the lower
part of the house and it was too hot to
look for any one upstairs. A crowd
gathered quickly after the fire depart
ment arrived and many imagined that
they could smell burning human flesh.
Most of them had probably never
smelled any.
The absence of the proprietress and
inmates was mysterious, but they re-
turned yesterday forenoon and said
they had been at the FourMile house
since o'clock. The only person unac-
counted for was a man said to be the
lover of the proprietress. He has not
shown up yet. There is some curiosity
regarding his whereabouts, but no ap-
prehension, alarm or anything like that.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Murray
set a force of men at work removing
the fallen tin roof and shifting the live
Goals hut tO date nothing moro CHA St1v
has been found than several twist
ed wire bed-springs.
The house belonged to John Bag
giore and was built in 1887 when there
were not so many two-story brick
buildings in town as there are now. 1t
is said to have cost about $4,000
