the hose. This happened during the
time when the flames were raging and
the firemen were in the midst of their
work
The new relief valve to relieve the
pressure from the fire hose was given
it's first practical test Thursday night,
being attached to the hose on the pub
lie square. 1t worked in the best pos
sible manner and it relieved the intense
pressure which sometimes is forced up
on hose in use during a fire when the
pressure is increased at the pumping
station.
The entire loss sustained by the mer-
chants will reach many thousands of
dollars, and when called upon Friday
morning they were unable to state just
what figures could safely be given out;
but from their statements 1t was learn
ed that all damages which were sus-
tained by them were fully covered by
insurance, and that the various COM
panies hold policies on the stocks were
already at work looking over the losses.
Captain Mesnar, in charge of the
chemical engine at the central engine
house, stated Friday morning that he
would appreciate 1t IL the people at
tending fires would not step on the hose
while it Is in use, as was done Thurs
day night, and permit the firemen to
have a little more room in which to
operate against the fires. The estab-
lishment of fire lines by the police
would remedy matters.
Two such disastrous fires within a
period of four days, as those which
have occurred in this city this week,
have never been recorded in the his+
tory of the local fire department. The
combined losses sustained by the re-
spective merchants whose places of bus
mess have been visited by fires, will
reach into very high figures. However,
the local department is thoroughly
equipped for any emergency which may
occur and there are no better qualified
firemen in this state to be called into
service than those in the local de-
partment, and their methodical and
systematic work under excellent discip-
line will cope with any thing that may
happen in their line in this city.

SWEPT FROM
THE MILLDAM
And Found a Grave In the Tur-
bid Waters OF the Big Sandy
WAS DROWNED NEAR ONEIDA
Carroll County Man Left His Home to Go
to That of HIS Father-in-Law and
Probably Tried to Gross
On the Dam.

Ex-Marshal r. P. Cassidy, of Miner
va, was in the city today and reported
case of apparent drowning that oc-
Cured near Oneida Friday Edward
Eby, aged about "a years, who resided
on the John Worley farm about two
miles from Minerva, started out Friday
morning to go across to the farm of his
father-in-law. To cross the swollen
stream Eby would have to go to the
dam, near Oneida, or go mile further
out of his way to a bridge. 1t has been
the habit of the people in that section
of Carroll county to cross at the dam,
when>the water is lower. but water is
now running over the dam and it is very
dangerous to attempt to use the dam
as a foot bridge. Eby did not return
home at night, nor did he reach his IA
ther-in-law's place. Search has been
made for him since, but no trace of him
has been found. The indications are
that he attempted to cross the dam on
foot and was swept from it into the
torrent and whirlpool below. A pole,
which has frequently been noticed
lying on the bank on the side from
which Eby would naturally approach,
was discovered whirling about in the
water below the dam. 1t is believed
that Eby used the pole to steady him
self, but found the support insufficient
and was swept away to his death.
Searching parties are looking for the
body. Eby leaves a wife and small
family. He was a farm laborer and
worked for Joseph Brothers, near Onei-
da, nearly all last summer. He was a
man of good habits and was well liked
bS his neighbors.

SALE CONFIRMED.

In the case of the Ohio Building e.
Loan Co. VS.. Amos c. Muss 4lman, in
which the property of the latter was
sold by the sheriff, the court has con-
firmed the sale and caused a decree to
be placed on the journal for the distri-
button of the proceeds. The plaintiff
bought in the property for $1,150. The
court orders the costs amounting to
$55.S2 to be paid, together with the
taxes, and the balance of $1,054,18 is to
be paid the plaintiff. This leaves $29S.26
still due the plaintiff and judgment is
rendered for that sum.
ANSWER FILED.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has filed an answer through it's attor-
ney, j. A. Carey, to the damage suit of
Peter j. McCurdy. The answer admits
that McCurdy was employed by the
company as a conductor and that he
was injured while so employed. But
the defense is made that he was care
less and that his injury was directly
due to his negligence. Another ground
of defense is that the suit was not COM
menced for more than four years after
the injury complained of.

by the fact that the Filipinos fought

fact that Apaches have long been

service therein just as the Pawnees did
under the administration Of President
Grant; just ns the Sfockbridge Indians

BILE to embody them as a whole In our
political system, all the members OF

there would be no justification what
ever In treating this fact as reason
for abandoning the wild tribes to work
out their own destruction. Exactly the
same reasoning applies In the case of
the Philippines. To turn over the
islands to Aguinaldo and his followers
would not be TO give self-government
to the islanders: under no circum-
stances would the majority thus gain
self-government. They would simply
be put at the mercy of syndicate Of
