CUMBERLAND, Md, March a.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has
been the victim of systematic rob-
berry of its property, that has been go
ing on at various points along the
line, until an officer of the road states
that the loss will amount to about
100000. The scheme has been the
stealing of the brass journals from
the grease boxes on the freight cars.
The Journals weigh eight pounds, and
the metal is valued at % cents a
pound. Five hundred journals were
stolen here in one night. 1t was learn
ed tonight that ten tons of the brass
was sent from here to brass concern
in Martinsburg at one shipment. It
was broken up until the letters, B. &
O." on the journals could not be de-
ciphered. Baltimore & Ohio detect
ives, after months of work, claim to
have ferreted out the gang, who have
their headquarters in the cities, with
allies here and at other points. De-
tective Shaw, at the head of the GRIM
inal department of the road at Balti-
more, is expected here between this
and Monday, when arrests will, 1t IS
said, be made that will be startling, as
prominent people here are said to be
connected with the stealing.

The Type of the Prevailing Grip.

From New York Herald.
Although Grip prevailed in mild form
during the late autumn months, It has now
taken on an unmistakeable virulent type in
the extent and character of It's new inva-
sion. During the last fortnight thousands
who have escaped heretofore have been
stricken, and the disease is plainly cpl
demic over very wide section of country.
The type of the disease is essentially
catarrhal and chiefly manifests itself in In
fammatory affections of the membranes Of
the nose. throat and upper air passages.
The attack is quite sudden and there is
generally a high temperature. with pain in
the forehead, hacking and Initiative cough,
with general muscular pains and prostra-
ton.
1t is the attention to little things-the
avoidance of draughts, the cultivation of
habits of temperance in eating and drink
ing, the obedience to all hygienic rules
which can make any one reasonably safe. >"

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
Senator Scott, of West Virginia saw
the President about an appointment
for his State. Referring to the agita-
ton over the Puerto Rican tariff Sen
ator Scott said:
Despite all the apparent opposition
to the measure it can be put down as
absolutely certain that the boys who
carry the dinner pals are for the Is
per cent tariff. The workingmen Of
the country are against free trade"
Senator Elkins spent an hour with
the President over the Porto Rican
tariff bill. His views and those Of
Senator Scott are practically the same
on the tariff question.

Again Appears In our Midst And
Causes Heavy Losses In Build
lngs and Merchandise.
A few minutes before four o'clock
| Sunday morning the engineer of a south
bound Frisco freight, as he came
opposite the head of Main street, saw
flames bursting forth from q building
not far distant. He stopped his train
and gave that peculiar alarm, which
once heard is never forgotten. The
alarm was taken up by others and with
in few moments pandemomium ap-
peared to reign.
In al incredibly short time, consider
ing the hour, the fire department was on
the scene. The fire, it was found, had
originated in the frame storebuilding
occupied by W. p. Brewster 8 grocery,
corner Main and Eighth streets, from
which it had communicated to the room
occupied by Maddox commission house,
Coheld sewing machine agency and
Briscoe 8 grocery. When the depart.
ment arrived the corner building was a
mass of flames and it was at once seen
that nothing could be done to save it.
As there was row Of wooden structures
all Joined together the fire looked
difficult one to handle but the prompt,
intelligent work Of the departments
soon had its effect and the fire was
checked before it had seriously injured
the building occupied by Coheld and
Briscoe.
Every indication il that the fire origin.
ated from stove in the Brewster store.
Mr.. Brewster stock was u total loss,
1t WAS valued at ~, 800 on which he
carried insurance to the amount OF $l,
$50. Geo. Maddox carried stock Of
about 5000 He estimates his loss at
$3.50, with no insurance. Mr.. Cotield $
stock was Of nature easily removed
and he suffered no appreciable loss.
The greatest damage to the stocks OF
Ed, and Frank Briscoe and Landau s
dry goods house WAS by water and
smoke, in fact the last named stock WAS
never reached by fire, Mr.. Briscoe
estimates his loss rs in the neighborhood
Of 81 500, on which he carried 81 900
insurance. ), N Landau carried 5000
insurance, which will cover all his
loss.
The corner building was owned by S,
K, Statler, of Piqua, o., and the one
occupied by Maddox was u leasehold OF
II +, Meyer, Neither of them were
insured They were rather old build.
ings, though considerable money had
been spent on the corner building by
the erection OF brick basement within
the past year, Mr., Meyer states that
there is no Immediate prospects Of the
rebuilding Of the destroyed structures.
The excellent work done by the depart.
ment WAS commented on on all sides.
