FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA
FOLLOWED BY ARRESTS
Police Charge Waterman and Compan-
ion With Conspiracy.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March o.
Three fires in the northeastern section
of the city during last night caused a
loss aggregating $4,000. The greatest
damage occurred at the morocco works
of Cooey, Costello & Co, on Orthodox
street, Bridesburg, which was almost
completely destroyed. The loss is esti-
mated at 100000; partially covered by
insurance.
Two men were arr ested in connec-
ton with the fire which partially de-
stroyed the flint glass works of Gill &
Co, at Salmon street and Lehigh ave-
nue., where $4,000 damage was done.
The two men arrested were John Oaks,
the Waterman, who was released on his
own recOgnizance, and George V. Cape
we'll, who was held in $500 bail for a
further hearing. Both men were
charged with conspiracy.
The third fire occurred at the factory
of Block q Shaw, manufacturers of
smoking pipes, on East York street,
Considerable mystery surrounds the
fire at this place. AT midnight a small
fire in the building was quickly eXtin-
guiShed by the firemen, and a few
hours later flames were discovered in
another part of the place, which did
damage to the extent of $4,000. The
loss is covered by insurance.

allaying the uneasineSS regarding the

demand for money is also diminishing
and little was heard last week about
borrowings for New York The main
features of the Berlin stock market
We're the strength of industrial Securi-
ties, and the weakness of domestic and
foreign loans. Some foreign rentes of
high denominations remained in good
demand
Among industrials, iron shares were
particularly firm, rising on an aver
age to points. The reports regard
ing the iron trade continue favorable
and further advances in prices are
announced. The rolling mills in the
Rhine Westphalian district report a
heavy increase in the home demand,
and they have ordered a curtailment
of the sales of blooms, billets, ETC.,
abroad. The Koenische Zeitung re-
ports that the uncovered home demand
for half rolled goods for the June
quarter amounts to from $4,000 to $780,
600 tons
Coal shares made a further advance,
but only moderate one, in view of
the indications that the production
was exceeding the consumption. Elec-
tricals We're weak, and ocean trans
portations declined upon the failure of
the North German Lloyd to pay a diVi-
dend. Money remained abundant.

in Americans and Canadian Pacifcs
were the sole redeeming feature in
last weeks stock market. There were
flurrieS here and there during the week,
the news of the Uruguyan revolution,
for instance, causing temporary eX-
citement, but otherwise the whole lists
have been lifeleSs and there is little
hope of improving before Easter The
public is dsinclined to speculate or
invest before the budget statement is
issued, while money is scarce, and I'M
til the outlook in Venezuela becomes
clear. The Southern Pacific railroad
struggle is watched with interest on
this side, and has created a certain
degree of nervousness. Consols remain
at low water mark Home rails are
tlabby, and even Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's speeches have failed to
have any favorable effect on the South
African market.
Cloth Market Inactive.
MANCHESTER, March 22-Busi-
ness on the cloth market last week
was particularly inactive. None of the
outlets abroad appears disposed to
purchase on the normal scale under
the conditions. The offers from India
and China were below acceptance
while the business for the minor East
ern markets was unsatisfactory There
were some sales of brocades for the
United States, and of miscellaneous
and fancy goods for the home trade.
Transactions in yarns were very
slow and the turnover far below the
average.

PoSToFFIcE INNESTIGATIoN.
Conspiracy and Bribery. Washington. D. C., August Post

office investigation developed another sensation today, federal grand jury returning seven indictments, involv- ing nine people. for alleged conspir- acy and bribery in connection with the postal affairs. A. w Machen, for many years head of the free deliv- cry service. was named jointly with the others in four of the indictments.
 The other persons are William Cor don Crawford, deputy auditor for the postofice department from June 13 1893, to September 15, 1897. and a member of one of the executive cluIs of this city; Leopold J. Stear, Balti- merly a prominent official. and Mar tha J. Lorenz his wife; John T. Cup per, mayor of Lockhaven. Pennsyiva- nia; w c. Long. an Ohio man who spent much of his time in this city in recent years and an intimate friend of Machen; Maurence Renkle. of New York city and Thomas W. McGregor, a protege of Machen who was a messenger at the beginning of Machen's administration of the free delivery service and who of recen. years has been in charge of supplies for the rural free delivery service.
 Crawford voluntarily appeared in court soon after the indictments were returned and furnished s10 900 bail. and McGregor likewise gave s5.000. Long was arrested at his home where deputy marshal Spring man found him in bed. He was re- leased on $10.000 bond His was the only case in which a bench war rant was issued, owing to the volun- tery action of the ,thers who were in dicted.
 Machen was not rearrested under the new indictment. ss he gave bond for s20,000 under the indictment found against him several weeks ago. and the authorities felt this sufficient to insure his appearance
 Warrants have been issued for all out town persons who were indicted and their arrest is expected within the next 24 hours. The grand jury has not completed the work laid be- fore it by the postal investigators and other indictments may be ex- pected later on, possibly within a week or two.
 It is understood that two additional cases against one of the parties in dicted today. former prominent bu- reau official. are being inquired into by the grand jury and the acts of an- other former high official in the post office department. already under il- dictment by Brooklyn jury, are be- ing investigated.

THE TRUTH OF
 THE STILES CASE
sHERIFFs OFFICE DID ITS WORK
 WELL.
Miner Again Wrong in Its Intimatio1 That There Was Any Negligence in Not Placing Him Under Arrest.
 fCDecial to Reyfew1

Tombstone, Aug. 1.-The Bisbee Miner, in its issue of Wednesday. in an article headed. Stiles Case Pe- culiar." does a great injustice to the sheriff's office The article leaves the impression that the office had been negligent in it's not arrestins Stiles before, and that it was only because he had filed on homestead on the river, on land in conflict with ". c. Greene, that the arrest wss made.
 The facts of the case are these: The old indictment against Stiles for the attempted murder of George Bravin was dismissed in the distri,t court of this county during the De cember term. 1901. upon the motion of District Attorney Land. upon the statement that sufficient evidence could not be had to warrant placing the defendant on trial, and thereupon the court ordered the case dismissed. }. All of the other charges against Stiles for train robbery, etc, had been pre-
  by the said district attorney. The sheriff's office had no warrants for the arrest of Stiles subsequent to the dismissal of these cases. and therefore had no reason to place him under arrest At the time he was in the city. as a witness before the grand jury. he could easily have been taken. fr,- @t T TTvrfT aA States charges had been made. George Bravin determined to again swear out a warrant against him, as the former charge had been dismissed over his protest.
 Upon the day that the sheriff's o. fee was informed of Stiles being seen upon the river a complaint was made against him by Brayin, sworn out in Justice wardwell's court; the war rant was then placed in Deputy Sheriff McDonald's hands, and he went after his man. and in twenty four hours had him safely behind the bars of the county jail. Previous 10 that time, as has been stated. the sheriff's office had no authority 10 arrest Stiles. any more than they would have to place the editor of the Miner under arrest When Sheriff Lewis went into office the old indict- ment against Stiles was still pending. and he went to Casa Grande and placed him under arrest. but soon after Land had the case dismissed.
 After Stiles had been arrested by Deputy Sheriff Mcdonald the Unitel States warrants were served on him.
 From the above facts of the case it is very evident that the Miners article was speculative, pure and simple" hut if does an injustice to the sheriffs office, and should be re- tracted.

,J.W. MULLEN IS MARSHAL

work on the field of battle.
 John w. Mullen is a native of the state of Hlionois. He was born in the little town of Jefferson on October 15. 1871, and is now in his thirty second year.
 Mullen came to Arizona in 1895 afterward going to New Mexico, where he held a position as deputy sheriff up to the time he enlisted in the Rough Riders in '9s. In New Mexico he bore an enviable recvord as a good citizen and competent off. cer. all of which has been borne out in his residence in this territory.
 He received his discharge from E troop. Roosevelt's Rough Riders, Oc- tober 6. 1898. and came to Arizona to reside permanently. Johnny Mullen is probably one of the most popular young men in Bisbee today.
 He was seen by a Review reporter immediately after having taken the oath of office yesterday, and asked for a statement to the public through the columns of The Review. He had the following to say:
 Tn the matter of the cleaning of the city, I will do just as the health officer recommends. All who fail t) comply with his orders in cleaning up about their premises will be taken into custody.
 T am going to start new books of my own in connection with the mar. shals office. Of course I will have to accept the footings from my pre- decessor's books, as agreed upon by the committee appointed to look into them.
 "I will commence a systematic canvass of the city on Monday. and learn who are delinquent in the pay ment of their taxes. and proceed to collect the same according to law. If there are any who refuse or fail to pay their taxes, their cases will be reported to the propert authorities
 Tt is my intention to adopt a strict policy with regard to law and order. and will serve the city to the best of my ability"
Bisbee daily review., 1903-08-02

John W. Mullen, at . special mee- ting of the city council of the city of Bisbee, called especially for the pur- pose of appointing a marshal to sue ceed James Henderson, resigned, was yesterday appointed to fili the vacan- cy caused by the resignation of Hen dersoD.
 Mullen's application was the only one which appeared before the coun- cil. despite the fact that it had been reported for several days that Harry Jennings would apply for the position, and that there would be dark horse in the field at the last moment.
 Mullen received the appointment which entities him to serve the un- finished term of Henderson, which expires in April. 1904. There were five ayes and one no in the vote on the appointment of Mullen. Had there been another candidate in the field it is hard to say that Muller would have received as many votes as he did. While deservedly popu' lar. there are others who have beer spoken of as likely to poll good vote in the council if they had cared to TUT for the plum. The fact remains tha Mullen was appointed. and qualified within half an hour from the time of adjournment of the council.
 His bondsmen are l.. c. Shattuck Joseph M Muheim, Theo. F. Metz James Letson and Joseph F. LipperS With the exception of Lippert, whs backed Mullen in the amount of $500 all the others are bonded for the sun of s1,250.
 John w Mullen, the present incum bent of the office of marshal of Bis bee. is one of the best known youns men in the camp. He has been ! prominent figure in the republican politics of the county. having run fD' the office of sheriff of Cochise county at the last election.
 He was a member of Roosevelt Rough Riders, and served through the Cuban campaign. where he got { sergeanf's stripes for his gallan
