HEAVY LOSS By FIRE.
Farm Buildings and Chickens Be
stroyed by Flames.

The explosion Of an oil lamp in an in
cubatOr on the farm OF Ernst Gersten-
berg. at SuitIand, Md, this morning about
: o clock, started a fire, which resulted in
a loss estimated at $2gGy0. The house.
where the fire originated, with its con
tents was valued at $1,000 This was
completely destroyed, as was also a wa
ter tower, fifty iacubatoIs. fifty brood
ers, and all the chicken houses. -Four
hundred ducks and 2GJ1 chickens were
burned to death A stable. q machine
shop valued. with its contents, at 5000
and ten horses were saved
The explosion Of the lamp scattered
burning oil all over the floor of the in
cubator house. and by the tine the peo-
PIE on the farm were aroused the flames
had practically enveIoped the building
In an Incredible short space Of time the
fire spread to the outbUiIdiI-Es and chick
en- houses With the assistance Of neigh
bors the farm hands formed bucket
line from the water tower and heroic
efforts were made to check the flames
The tower was soon abIaze, but the
efforts Of the volunteer fTemen were not
relaxed until the wood work beneath the
tank was eaten away by the flames, and
il collapsed, cutting of the supply
Of water. Attention was then di-
rected to saving the machine shop and
stable These buildings were covered with
blankets saturated with water obtained
from wells on the place. and a further
spread of the flames prevented by hard
work. 1t is understood that Mr.. Ger
stenberg's loss is covered BY insurance.

WORKING ON A MYSTERY
A Pennsylvania Murderer Likely
to BE Caught.

Much Evidence Secured by q City

PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-The mystery
that surrounded the murder Of Honest"
John Blevins, Treasurer of New Castle,
ever since the crime was committed, two
years ago. IS nearing its solution.
For two years G X AIKEN and Malcolm
Mcconnell. representing a special com

bringing every resource of their pIeuary
investigation powers to bear on the clues

scores Of witnesses, taken thousands Of
pages Of typewTitten testimony and di-
vuIged not a syllable of what they have
discovered. 1t IS believed the whole story
of the crime is in their possession
Rievins was killed on Saturday night,
January :, 1899, in his Office In the City
Hall His skull was crushed and nose
and jaw broken. There were twenty
three cuts upon his head 1t was evident
that he had been murdered on the spur
Of the moment.

was murdered by someone who had been
politically and personally associated with

Missouri Governors Qualifications

Representative Lloyd, of Missouri, who
is in the city attending to some matters
in the departments. was asked this morn
ing what ne thought OF Governor Dock
ery's Presidential boom. In reply he said:
Il do not know that Governor Dockery
is in any sense a candidate for the Presi-
dency. but I have heard him spoken of
as a most available man. He is making
splendid record as Governor of Missouri.
and we feel proud of him No one can
question Governor Dockery's Democracy
/ am sure he would be acceptable to the
Fast, and. if nominated, would receive the
loyal support of every Democrat in the
country Governor DoCkery is Conserva-
tive and experienced in public affairs, and
his record Will bear the searchlight Of in
vestigation. which counts much in n Pres
idential campaign.
why should not the next Democratic
nominee for President come from Mis-
sotIri?' asked Representative Lloyd. our
state has some of the best Presidential
timber III the country ! dc not know what
is in the Dcc<ery boom, but I do know
the Democrats viii make 40 mistake If
they nominate him for President IN 1904. -

Appraiser WaEeman Congratulated
on the Ruling OF the Court.

oH sHE AA0AAAaEs VI AAN %OHa u
Wilbur F. Wakeman, the New York Ap-
praiser Of Customs, is in Washington
He was congratulated today by O.

Treasury and head Of the Customs Ser
vice. on the decision Of the Circuit Court
of New York, on the elastic braid case.
which was one Of the first matters MI
Wakeman acted upon in 1897. when he
went into Office.
There are now $500 cases Of elastic braid
importatiOns and 5000 none-eIastic braid
cases awaiting adjustment on the decis-
ion of the court in favor Of a Cd per cent
tax rather than one Of 90. per cent. The
amount involved annually 10 the Govern
ment is in the hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars and the courts decision viii save
the Government this sum
The importers claimed that the elastic
bTaids should come under the rubber
schedule as their comDouents was prin-
cipally rubber. MI Wakeman, contrary
TO the opinion of almost everyone con
nected with the customs department in
New York in 1897, coHtended that the cost
Of fabrication should be the basis Of the
assessment Of duty.
At the time a large delegation of exam
liners from the New York office. including
some of the members Of the General
Board Of Appraisers, took a trip to Mass
achusetts to examine into the methods OF
manufacture of bTaids il this country in
some Of the mills there and came back

ANEW RULE CAUSES WORRY
Hardness Constitutes an Offence at
the Census Bureau.

Clerks Must Be Mt work 1T . o'clock
or Suffer the Consequcnccs-iThe
Third Failure Means II Discharge.
Complaints Raised by Employees.
The wcgdinE-OUt process is being a3-
piled in advance to the anticipated whole
sale reduction OF the force at the Census
Bureau. Within the past week an order
has gone forth to the effect that tardi-
ness Is to be a serious offence IN the bu-
rcau For the first offence the offending
clerk forFeits one day from the annual
leave granted 10 each clerk For the
second offence the penalty is Two days of
leave deducted. and for the third offence
dismissal is the penalty Clerks who have
been late getting TO their work since the
order was applied have been presented
with slips notifying them of the fact and
Of the penalty imposed The second time
a second slip appears, accompanied by
notice that the next time the penalty IS
dismissal.
A number Of clerks in the Census Bu-
Teau reside in Baltimore and 20 back and
forth every night ead morning The
train which Is taken by most Of these
clerks from Baltimore is due in Wash
iugton about $50 a. n. Nine o'clock IS
the hour at which the business of the
census bureau commences ShoHld any
thing delay the train it IS almost impos-
sibIe to be at the office en- time For
merly this was accepted as a good and
sufficient excuse. and no objection was
found TO the usually brief hardness. All
this is changed now. however Others of
the clerks live in outlying sections OF the
city, and are dependent upon electric lines
where the time between cars is a quarter
and a half hour apart, and schedule time
not often closely followed. Hardness was
not inTTeCueut on the part Of such clerks
Even if only one minute late said
one OF the girls this morning, that min
ute costs q day, and q second minute on
another occasion costs two days 1t is
unfair 1t is the railroads that should be
fined, not Us. It is just barely possible for
the Baltimore girls to get to the office
in the five minutes when their train
TiVeS on time II is absolutely impossible
to 90 so If the train is delayed coming
over the draw or for any other cause.
The street cars are worse than ever. At
that hour OF the day they are so crowded
with clerks going to their work that il
Is sometimes impossible to get even
standing room. The suburban schedules
are responsible for that condition. The
cars don't run right at all l am disgust
ed with everything.
There are now very few instances of
hardness The clerks from Baltimore,
rising at earlier hours, and taking earlier
trains, would rather spend an hour of idle
ness in the city than be late. The fear OF
dismissal is lowering over them
