Apropos to the recent trip OF Lee
baudy's airship from Moissan to Paris,
during which speed of 20 miles an
hour was attained, M. de la Vaulx's
balloon expedition from Paris to Hull,
England, is worth recalling. This was
made with an ordinary balloon, having
no engine or propelers, and the SOO-odd
miles were covered at the rate Of %

Might Have Been Big Blaze.

What might have been big biaze was
nipped in the bud by the prompt action
of the fire brigade yesterday evening
about 500 o'clock, when the large Dale
building was discovered tn be on fire.
The south wing or dwelling portion of
the building is occupied by V. Il. Arm
strong's family and it was here the fire
started. The origin of the fire is some
what of a MYSTERY as there had been no
heat in the chimney Tor some time, a
small stove with rubber hose attachment
having been used for heating, and the
most PLAUSIBLE th- ory is the existence of
small leak in the gas pipe near the base
board that may have been burning for
some time unnoticed At any rate the
partition inside was charred from the
ground floor to the ceiling of the upper
story, and the rooms were filled with a
dense smoke. A dash from the hose was
enough to squelsh the flame.
This is one OF the largest buildings in
the city, in the third story of which is To-
Gated the Odd Fellows and Masonic lodge
rJows, and had the fire gotten beyond
'ntEOl would have made terrific blaze.
Toe damage to the building will possibly
reach 500, and about the same amount
to Mr.. Armstrong; household goods.

tlapp Property Deal COusummated.

The ClaHp property deal was ronsum-
mated Friday evening and the deed was
recorded on Saturday. This deed con-
veys about 10, l26 acres of land 10 Presi-
dent and Pinegrove townships, Venango
county, and Tionesta township, Forest
county, being :he real estate, less re-
serves, held by the late Edwin E. Clapp,
deceased. Only consideration of $1,000
appears in the document. The con"ey-
ance is made by John NJ. Clapp and Anna
p. Clapp, his wife, Of Lakewood, n. Y,
to II. J. Crawford and T. e. Gregory of
Emlenton, Pa. The indenture is dated
December 81, 1902. C. Heydrick signs
for the grantors as attorney in fact.
1t is set forth in the conveyance that
John NJ. Clapp has come into possession
Of the holAings of the other legal heirs of
the late Edwin L. Clapp, whose sigma
lures appear in the instrument as follows:
James McLain, Mary McLain, Charles
McLain, Ralph Clapp McLain and Caro-
line g. Mclain. The following legal heirs
whose right, title and interest have been
acquired by the said John NJ. Clapp aie
named in the instrument: Edward c.
Shankland, Ralph NJ. Shankland and
Emeline f. McAllaster, children of Eme-
line F. Shankland, deceased, and Caro-
line C. McAllsster, John NJ. Clapp and
Ellen G, McLain, said Emeline F. Shank
land, Caroline G. McAllaster and Ellen C.
McLain being sisters and said John NJ.
Clapp brother of said Edwin u. Clapp,
deceased.
There are a number of reservations and
exceptions relating to private property
previously conveyed out of certain tracts,
oil and gas leases granted, and school,
church and mill properties. These reser-
vations and exceptions are not very clear
to an individual who is not personally ac-
quainted with the properties, although
written with the evident intention of
making the provisos plainly understood
to one having knowledge of the loca-
ton. The document consists of num-
ber of lengthy, closely typewriter
pages, replete with descriptions and ex-
plantations,
Considerable guessing is being done as
to the probable price paid. The parties
interested and their attorneys declined to
make public the exact consideration for
which the property sold, but it was ad-
mitted that it was in excess of $3.50, 900.
This is the largest real estate transfer
ever made in Venango county. Some
idea of the magnitude of the transaction
can be gained from the fact that it re-
quired five attorneys, working unceas-
ingly for two weeks, to make the re-
searches of title necessary to its culmi-
nation.

in substance also appeared in the REPUB-
LICAN last week:
"While it is true that Mr.. Spurgeon
made the statement regarding the use of
the soothing weed as quoted in yester-
days News, it is also true that he public
ly retrscted the same, later in life. Since

Mr. Spurgeon and the interests, of truth
TO give this fact as great, or greater pub
licity than the former?"

FEAR OPEN RATE CUTTING.
Passenger Agents Discuss the New
Elkins Law.


Chicago, March 6.-Passenger rep
resentatiVes of the Western, South
western and transcontineptal roads
are holding a mass meeting here for
the purpose CT exchanging views as
to how passenger t.aific will be affect
ed by the new Elains law. 1t is the
general opinion that the passage of
that law will do away with rate cut
ting of a secret character.
While the law prch4 bits secret rate
cutting, it Goes not prevent the open
reduction of rates, and it is feared
that unless measures are adopted for
avoiding it the fling CT reduced tariffs
may become an evciy Gay occurrence.
Some weak lines hold that they are
unable to compete with the stronger
ones on equal terms except by filing
such reduced tariffs, u!l:ess some other
way of protecting tha:r interests is
discovered. Diflerential a.+les, which,
it is said, they would be content to ac-
cept, are obnoxious to Western roads.
Pooling is lot legalzod BY the Elkins
law, and the only attentive appears
to be an agreement whereby certain
classes of business would be lef. ex~
clusively for the weak lines. Rate
cutting, however, it is declared, must
cease and any reductions made will
have to be made openly.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1903-03-07

The caucus last evening was one
of the largest ever held in Morris,
nearly all of the voting strength of
the village being represented. Near
ly 400 votes were cast for temporary
chairman, and this crowd filled the
armory somewhat uncomfortably
full.
The meeting was called to order
by j. B. Ormond and II. T. Bevans
was elected temporary chairman with
A. B. Wells temporary secretary. On
motion the organization was then
made permanent.
For president of the council, N. R,
Spur and W. F. Cooley were
nominated, the first being elected by
a considerable majority. At this
point considerable difficulty was ex
perlenced in deciding whether or not
to vote on remaining councillors one
at time or to vote for the four at
once The latter plan was decided
on and the two tickets were placed
in nomination, one comprising D. S..
Long, HI. B. Lund, George Hogan
and John House, and the other j. R.
Kruger, E. McAyeal, S. A, Siverts
and John House. The farmer ticket
was elected by large majority.
