PEOPLE TERRORIzED.
One Fire Started a Half
Dozen Others and Much
Damage Resulted.

South birmingham, July GA reign
of terror prevailed here this afternoon,
the result of fire breaking out in a
large barn on Marble street, belonging
to the birmingham Box Mfg. Co., and
which was consumed inside Of twenty
five minutes, entailing a loss of about
$1,000
A high southwest wind was blowing
at the time, and the sparks from the
barn were carried high in the air a
mile away. Some of the burning en-
bers lighted on the roofs of several
houses on Waverly street. more than a
quarter of a mile distant, setting them
afire. An engine was sent to the scene,
and citizens clambered up on to the
roofs and with garden hose kept them
wet down, and extinguished the fires.
Sparks lodged in the cutters of Mi
chael Schoheld's two-story frame
dwelling house, and in a few minutes
the roof was in flames. Some of the
contents were moved to a place of safe
ty. Mrs. Schofield, who is blind, was
alone in the house at the time asleep,
in the upper floor. Through the timely
assistance of neighbors, she was safe
ly removed from danger. The house
was Quilted. The loss will foot up some
thing like. .$3000-S2500 on the house and
about $500 on the contents. L
For a few minutes, the residents of
the neighborhood were terror-stricken,
with half dozen houses ablaze at one
time, and tenants rushed into their
houses and began moving their house
hold effects, but their fears were need
less, as when additional apparatus ar
rived on the scene the department soon
had the fire under control.

TERMS AGREED UPON.
All Spanish Prisoners Will
Soon Be Re-
leased.

Manila, July Z, a. m.-The Spanish
commissioners who went to Tarlac for
a conference with Aguinaldo, regarding
the surrender of the Spanish prisoners
in the hands of the Filipinos, returned
here lest night. Chairman Del Rio of
the commission said the release of all
the prisoners had been practically ar
ranged for but it was necessary to con-
suit the Spanish government before the
agreement could be ratified.
He declined to give the terms of the
arrangement, or to say whether these
contemplated a ransom. He asserted,
however, that Aguinaldo had already
issued a decree for the release of the
civilian officials and the sick soldiers.
The commissioners, with the remnant
of the Spanish garrison of Baler, on the
east coast of Luzon, and number of
civilian prisoners, were escorted by
Filipino soldiers from Tarlac to the
American outposts at San Fernando,
and came to Manila by the night train.
The heroes of the long defense of
Baler, where the Spanish resisted an in
surgent siege for more than a year,
formed a picturesque band. Lieut.. Mar
tin, the only surviving officer, marched
them through the streets There are
only %, and most of them are mere
boys, in faded blue cotton uniforms and
red shirts. They are barefooted
A crowd of Spanish men and women
embraced them, weeping and shouting
their praises. They tell a remarkable
story 1t appears that the captain sew
eral times proposed to surrender, but
the soldiers refused. Finally, some
months ago, he tried to raise a white
flag. Thereupon Lieut.. Martin killed
him with his own sword.
Their food supply gave out nearly a
week ago, and they surrendered to the
Filipincs with all the honors of war.
They were allowed to keep their arms,
and they say, they marched from Baler
with a Filipino escort and carrying
guns, through several insurgent camps,
everywhere cheered and feted.

ROBERT BONNER DEAD.
Famous Editor and Horseman Breathes
His Last in New York.

New York, July 6.-Robert Bonner.
publisher of the New York Ledger and
owner of famous horses, died at his
home in this city tonight. Mr.. Bonner
had been III for some months, but was
able TO be about until about ten days
ago. Death was due to a general
breaking down of the system.
Mr. Bonner enjoyed remarkable
health until a few months ago, when
his lifelong friend, Rev. John Hall
died. A second shock to him was the
death of his son, Andrew Allen Bonner
Dec. 9th last.
Robert Bonner was born in London
derry, Ireland, April 2S, 1924. He first
settled in this country in Hartford, ct
He was best known as the owner OF
Maud S.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-07

was then called, and testified regard
ing the qualities of the automatic sys-
tenn. which he has seen in operation in
various cities. Mr.. Farnham explained
the working of it and said he did not
consider it practical on account of the
delicacy of its mechanism and the cost
He produced affidavits of the unsatis-
Factory working of the system signed
by residents of Augusta, Ga, Aiken, S.
G., Amsterdam, N. Y, and Princeton,
N. ].
Mr.. Harris then submitted copies OF
letters, which he said were written by
the same men who signed the afiidav-
CTS, stating that the Strow-
yer system works perfectly. Mr..
Farnham claimed that the writer IN
question stated nothing in his letter
that detracted in the least from what
was stated in the sworn statement, and
read the affidavit in proof.
Mr.. Powers next called attention 10
the fact that the New England Com
pany had given employment 20 bun
Ilreds of Worcester men during the
hard times of four or five years ago,
in putting in underground work during
the winter, to give work to the nnem-
ployed at an increased cost of about
$4,000. On that account if for no othcr
he thought the New England Company
deserving of some protection a'Ealnst
competition.
Alderman Carberry wanted to know
If the telephone company had not en-
ployed questionable methods 20 defeat
the telephone bill which came before
the house some time ago. Mr.. PoWtis
denied this and said the company
would have been willing to ACCEPT the
bill, had it provided for any sort OF
protection for the company.
Mr.. Searls then said that he WiShed
to produce evidence in rebuttal of that
given by the New England company
He considered that there was room
enough for two companies, and thought
THAT competition would be good thing
He then distributed a number of copies
of letters received from Augusta, Ga,
where the largest exchange operated
by the Stronger system is in operation
Mr. Harris closed for his side by
stating that the Stronger system had
not been adopted by his company, nor
had any other. The system had been
attacked by the New England COM
pany, but he thought its representa-
fives might as well have remained in
their offices. for all the testimony that
had been presented. He thought the
plant of the New England company,
which represented $1l, 100000, might be
replaced for $7,000,000.
Alderman Barrett asked Mr.. Harris
If his company wanted its petition
granted before it had decided on the
sort of instrument it would use. Mr..
Harris replied that it did, but 1t in
tended to act in good faith. and should
submit whatever instruments were de-
cided on for the approval of the board.
Alderman Barrel thought the matter
should be settled before permission was
granted to use the streets, as the al
dermen would have virtually nothing
to say after the franchise had been
granted.
The hearing closed at II 10 o'clock.
