Small Fires.
l.. q. PETIT,
Supt. Ore Supply

Sunday evening about four o'clock
the station Parsonage NJ. f. Church,
South, was discovered to be on fire,
and only for the prompt action Of the
fire company and our citizens the
house would undoubtedly have burned
down, but as it is only slight damage
WIS done, most of which was caused
by the water. There was no one in
the house at the time and the fire in
the CRATE is supposed to have popped
out and caught to the carpet and bed.
Had this building burned the district
parsonage, which adjoins the station
parsonage, would, no doubt, have
gone up in ashes.
On the same evening about 6
o'clock a small house near the Duff
Hotel. in which Perry Ison. colored,
was living, caught fire and was burn
ed, including all the household goods.
This fire started from lamp being
knocked over.

In the restaurant at the time were

of the parties, except Hall, who es-
capped, have been arrested and lodged

SITUATION IN NEW JERSEY.

NEW YORK, November 5.-There has
been no change in the political situation
i'll New Jersey to-day. The Republicans
are confident of success, but the Demo-
Gratis claim that if the members of the
party who remained away from the polls
four years ago turn out tomorrow the
State will go, for Bryan. The increase
in registration, the Republicans claim, is
due to normal growth. The Democrats,
however, claim that the increase shows
that Democrats who kept away from the
polls four years ago expect to vote to-
morrow.
Chairman Franklin, of the Republican
State committee, to-day said:
There is very little that can be said
that has not been said already. Our ma
jority, / believe, will be at least 1900 or
Sc, CO.,
Chairman William B. Gourley, of the
Democratic State committee, through Sec
rotary Devereaux. to-day made the fol-
lowing statement:
Il am not giving out any figures, but /
claim Bryan will carry New Jersey by a
safe margin. 1 am confident the Demo-
Gratis will carry four of the eight Con-
gressional districts

MUNCIE, Ind, November 5.-Perry
s. Heath. secretary of the Republican
national committee, said tonight:
IF Indiana does not give Mckinley
and Roosevelt a plurality in excess OF
1896, above $4,000 in fact, if the Repub-
lican electors throughout the country
are not more numerous than four years
ago, l shall never put faith in issues
bringing returns. nor shall ever be-
lieve in organization or political poll
returns. The claims of the Bryanists
I hear to-day in Indiana. are general
and not based upon reason. They
always make sweeping claims, even in
the face of conditions they know to be
in opposition to their interests. There
is such wide difference between the in
dustrial and commercial conditions
now and four years ago that the fail
