In the past four months New York
has had 22S5 fires. This is more than
the record for six months of last year.
For three months the average has been
20 fires a day, and for April it has been
q a day. Is it any wonder that there
is a growing public uneasiness on this
account? Is it strange that the papers
agitate for official supervision Of
steamitting and electric lignt work? Is
it unreasonable to sneer at the coro-
ner's juries that bring in an invaria-
BILE verdict Of accident and nobody to
blame" after every conhagration that
is attended with loss of life?

Henry T. Phillips was born in the
Philippines AZ years ago and has lived
in Taunton for 20 years, but now he
wants to become a naturalized citizen
of the United States. Before his laud-
able ambition can be gratified, the SUI
preme court will have to tell him what
country he now belongs to. Last Aug
ust he was a Spanish subject; there is
no Philippine republic or nation, and
If he belongs TO the United States. what
need Of naturalization? Here is another
Filipino puzzle, which nvne but the all
wise anti-expansionists can solve Off
hand. The peace treaty seems to have
left Henry Phillips without a country.

The Paris Figaro has some reputation
as fakir, and hence there is a laugh
at the statement that Emma Calves

Cuba as a representative of the board.
Having lived for a number of years among
the Spansh-American people and under
standing their language and customs thor

Cubans upon their own ground and to
obtain better insight into the conditions
there than any other representative of

AMENDED MOTION FILED.

Lengthy Document Sets Forth AL
legged Errors in the Dixon Case.
An amended motion for new trial in
the case of the Central of Georgia Rail-
way Company against C. H. Dixon & Co.
was filed in the office of the clerk of the
Superior Court on yesterday. The motion
sets forth various grounds of error that are
ment, covering fourteen closely typewrt-
ten pages.
The charge of Judge Falligant and his
omission to give in the charge, statements
of law that the defendants contend were
pertinent and correct, make up the score
of alleged errors.
The Dixon case was a cause celebre and
involved important and interesting ques
lions of law. The principal point at issue
was the right Of railroad company TO
charge demurrage, when its cars were de-
tanned, without being unloaded by the con-
signee. 1t was argued ably, and at length
the road being represented by Messrs
Lawton & Cunningham and the defendants
by Messrs. Saussy e. SaUssy, and consun-
ed several days at the last term of the
court.
The jury found for the plaintiff and the
defendants at once filed their motion for a
new trial The amended motion which was
filed sets out the defendants contentious
fully, and at length, except to almost every
principle of law that the court gave in
charge to the jury. The motion states that
the charge and the maner in which 1t was
constructed. and delivered amounted prac-
tically to the direction of verdict in favor

Plant people have come to terms on the
vessel, however, and that she has finally
been accepted.

board had not felt able to occupy the

The tendency upon the part of the peo-
Pile of Cuba, relieved from the oppression

said is 20 seek a free church. Free Cuba,
like free Italy, win hover between infidel-

duty of Christians to Immediately take
steps to direct them in the right dlrec-
ton. There is a great inadequacy of la
borers for the work. The work at home
must not be neglected, however. Our peo-
pie are awakening to the dangerous ele-

cities are centers of vice and ntemperance
as well as of wealth and culture. This
is especially the case with the most popu-
lous cities, teeming with foreigners and
