A fire which caused about SIT, 600
damage occurred at Mt. Arlington
early Wednesday morning, destroying
the Methodist Church, the store of. J.
Langdon & Co., which contained the
postotfice, and the cottage owned by
j. A. Burkhardt. The flames started
from an unknown cause in the Lang
don store. By the time the people
were aroused the building was COM
pletely envelopea in flames, and it was
impossible to save any of the con-
tents. The fire quickly spread to the
church. and then the fiaues jumped TO
the Burkhardt cottage. There is NO
tire department in the village and all
the men there formed bucket bri-
gade, but they made but little impres-
sions on the fire, as there was hard
wind blowing at the time.

The appearance Of John S. Gibson,

audience, was roundly applauded.
Mr.. Gibson got into action in short
order. He uttered no meaningless
plaritudes or hollow sophistries. He
said there was was no Democratic
party. The so-called Democracy was
a conglomeration thar had only a
name for an issue. Instead of inno-

he asked about the disfranchisement
of the negro in the south, where none
but educated negroes can vote, thus
depriving 1000. 600 American citizens
of their right of suffrage. He said the

DR.. Harry Vaughn, who signs him
self Late Assistant Surgeon of the
Monogah Coal and Coke Co., West
Virginia, writes letter to the Banner
in his own peculiar style, which he
fancies is a REPUTATION of the Chroni-
cle's interview with Mr.. Schoneber-
ger, published last week, in reference
to the coal strike. The only thing in
the letter that we can learn with any
degree of certainty is that DR. Vaughn
was company DOCTOR and ac-
cording to his own statement the
company doctor is no friend of the
miner. This may have been true in
Dr. Vaughn's case, but it does not
follow that it Is universally or gen.
