Three Fires.

Three small fires occurred in the cellar
under the l. NJ. Rnehart shoe store, Criei
building, Hagerstown. The first hre was
discovered MONDAY morning shortly after
the store was opened and was extingulsh-
ed by the clerks. About $50 O'Clock a
second FIRE was discoved and Il was also
eAtins uished without calling out the ire
depar ment. Shortly after eleven o'clock
third fire broke our and the flames
spread so rapidly that an alarm was sent
in from box g. The blaze was extin-
guished before serious damage was done.
Complete mystery surrounds the origin Of
the fires. Recently A. Z. Katz & Co, OF
New York, who recently ran store in
this city, bought the stock of goods in the
store and had a force Of clerks busy pack
ing the same in boxes 10 be shipped TO
New York There is an insurance OF
S 900 on the stock and fixtures. This
afternoon the officers made thorough
inspection Of the premises and began an
investigation.

The Executive Board Of the Citizens
Relief Association met in the Chamber
OF Commerce Tuesday to discuss plans
md outlined the work on hand for the
enter. Quite a number of cases where
assistance IS needed were reported and
steps were taken TO exend relief M dee
| serving cases.
Ii K the desire Of the association TO
ork 10 conjunction with the different
hurch organizations in order TO prevent
duplication and TO put a stop to some
pcoole who are imposing nnIhe charity Of
different organizations by ask NJ Tor relle
from all. In comparing notes betweei the
IN MS ers present and the officers Of TIC
Relief Association it was found that there
nad been a great deal Of duplication OF
charity during foregoing winter season.
Jne particular family which recently
moved here was found to have received
assistance from four different sources.
One other thing thai the association
mas resolved to do is o deal with the
sh ftless able bodied heads Of families IN
the manner that they deserve 10 be dealt
it'll. The ISOLATION has under consd-
eraion at least half dozen cases where
the heads OF families stand around on
street corners doing nothing, while their
wives and daughters are vorking to sup
port their families The association is
gong 10 remedy this evil All able-bod-
led men can secure employment.
1t is the prevailing opinion among the
indolent people that they don't have to
work as long as they can draw rations
from the Overseer of the Poor or The
Relief Association. A number oil such
cases have been spotted and the men
will hereafter either have to go to work
or starve.

| The following is an article published in
the Winchester News-Item, afte. an in
terview with Manager S. L Hoover. OF
| the Winchester Telephone Company.
Manager Hoover was not inclined TO
adversely criticise the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Company for its action. but. quite
naturally, he defended his company
against magnitied reports beng CIR uiat-
ed III Martinsburg. He referred to an al
legged interview with Mr. c. w. bower,
editor Of the Martinsburg Statesman pub
\ lished by local periodical, and said that
Mr., Boyer was either misqdoted, or that
he was not acquainted with the f4cts,
when he was reported as saying that til
Chesapeake and Potomac company *have
/ mucti better equipped system than the
WINCHESTER Company and that their
rates are just 50 and one third per cent.
cheaper than the Winchester company.
Manager Hoover said that. the Chesa-
peake and Potomac's lines only run to the
suburbs Of Martinsbure, and that when a
person desired to talk with others out
side OF the town it was necessary to pay
tolls on the long distance line. The Wiz
chester Company's lines extend over
much larger territory. A Martinsburg
patron Of the Winchester Company can
talk to people at Capon Bridge, Wood
stock. Front Royal, Charles Town, Shep-
herdstown. Berryville. Harper's Ferry and
to hundreds OF people at other towns in
Virginia and West Virginia. At Capon
Bridge connection is made with all points
on the Gordon line; at Woodstock with
the Shenandoah line, and at Winchester
with Hagerstown.
The Winchester Company has its sys-
tenn arranged in such manner that each
patron has an indepen tent wire and is not
put to the inconvenience of waiting
long time because "the line is busy" The
Chesapeak & Potomac Company's lines
are entirely different. In most cases four
telephones are on one wire and the trou-
BILE to arise can be imagined, In other
words, four times as many people can
talk over the Winchester Companv's lines
at the same time as they can over the
Chesapeake and Potomacs Many peo-
pie never knew this fact.
when the Winchester Company en-
tered Martinsburg two years since its
service was received by the people in such
a way that the Chesapeake and Potomac
Controlled by Bell monopoly cut the
rates, expecting to drive its rival out In
stead of doing SO, the Winchester Com
pany met them and has been putting in
new phones ever since. until now it has
I7o--many in excess of the Chesapeake
and Potomac"
The News Item then reprints an article
from THE EVENING WORLD and closes
with this sentence: The Winchester Com
pany has no fears of being run out by
the Chesapeak & Potomac.
WAR OVER THERE TOO.

FOR NEELY's ExTRADITIoN.
Bill to he Reported in Spite of His
COunsel's Protest.


Washington, May 22.-John D. Lindsay
attorney for Charles p. Nicely, appeared
before the House Judiciary Committee to-
day and submitted an argument against
the proposed extradition bill. He also pre-
sented a voluminous brief.
The proposition to subject an American
citizen to trial in a country where Span
ish system of laws Is in vogue, he con-
tended, was utterly opposed to American
traditions. He said:
1.-THE proposed legislation is without pre-
cedent in the history of the country. 1t
is violative of the principles which forbid
unusual and extraordinary measures. It
is device to enable the government to do
something which otherwise would be un-
lawful. It seeks to subject citizen to
pains and liabilities to which without such
legislation he could not be subjected. 1t
is the expression of the sort of power that
absolute monarchs exercise, but which is
a menace 10 them and intolerable in a re-
public"
After two hours executive session the
committee voted to report the Ray ex-
tradition bill with some changes. The
main controversy was to making the bill
general instead of limited to Cuba, and
it was finally made general.
