DO Great Damage at the Weille
Clothing Sale.
An Electric Iron Ignites Table and
Starts the Blaze--Greatest Dam
age From Smoke.
LOSS BETwEENsiO, 900 ANDs12 900

The b. Weille clothing establish
ment on Broadway between Fourth
and Fifth streets, was visited by fire
last night about 9:46 O'Clock and dam
age to the extent of several thousand
dollars done by fire. smoke and prin-
oipally water and smoke. The propri-
etors have not yet ben able to estimate
the exact amount of damage, but rough
ly fix the figures between ten and
twelve Thousand dollars.
The fire was discovered by Mr.. Harry
Brantley. of the Palmer house. who
saw light in the rear of the build
ing, seeming to come frou the second
floor. He quickly sent in an alarm,
and the firemen found the entire tail
oring department in the rear of the
second story in flames. After half an
hours work the blaze was completely
extinguished.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated from an electric iron used in
pressing cloht es which had probably
been left charged and on table, by
the boy. instead of on the base iron,
where it belonged. There were half
dozen clothes racks filled with over
four dozen suits Of clothes and over
coats, which were burned at loss of
about $500, but the principal damage
comes from the smoke on the third
floor. The clothes stored on this floor
are supposed to be practically ruined,
and the stock is large. The shoe de-.
partment on the second floor was dam
aged greatly also by water and smoke.
Mr.. Ben weille stated this morning
that the loss would be covered By in
suranoe, he thought, but that they
had no way of determining the exact
damage until the stock has been gone
through and invoiced. This will re-
quire some time and will be begun as
soon as the insurance adjustors arrive
to adjust the loss.

NO FRAUD is SHOWN
Evidence in Alleged Bogus Ballot
Case Show None We're Used

The investigation Of alleged fraudu-
lent ballots cast in Marshall county at
or after the Democratic primary in
May was resumed In Justice Jesse
Young's court this morning.
When court convened at 10 O'Clock
Attorney Charles X. Wheeler, counsel
for MIR. e. J. Paxton, general man
aRer of The Sun. made the following
statement:
When investigation Of this matter
first came up MIR. Paxton came to Us
for advice giving us all the facts, and
asked II he should go into court and
make voluntary statement Of the
case. We advised him not to as he
was not guilty of any ofrense against
the law. This fact is indisputab BILE,
and we deny the right of this court to
summons him to answer any inquiries
relative to this case. However MIR.
Paxton is perfectly. willing to tell all
he knows about 1t and will willingly
answer any questions you may ask
him.
Mr.. Paxton being sworn gave his
evidence.
The substance is as follows:
About . week or ten days after the
Tay lor- Lovett primary and late in the
afternoon, Mr.. Luther Graham came
in to the office and asked II we could
do . small job Of printing for him,
and at once. He submitted list Of
the names of candidates voted for in
the primary as the work he wanted
done. asked him what he wanted
with 1t and he sad 1t was for legiti-
mate purpose, and upon my inquiry
II he wanted to use IL in the contest
he replied that he did not, and upon
that assurance We took the job The
only printer in the Office at the time
was one of the apprentices and he did
the work that night and left it on my
edsk. A negro called for it the fol-
lowing morning and it was delivered
to him. At the time the work was
ordered Mr.. Graham ssid the office
could have the same slips back in .
week If we cared Tor them, which was
evidence they were to be used for no
illegitimate purpose, and a week after
wards Mr.. Graham, meeting me on
the street, told me we could have
them, but I. replied he could destroy
or do what he wanted with them.
Thought no more Of the matter
until sometime thereafter an investi-
cation was started with which every
one is familiar. l WAS north with
some members Of my family at the
time and ON my return learned that all
the printers in the office had been be-
fore a magistrate and given their
statements that they knew nothing of
the matter. This is absolutely true.
| had not realized before that the
printing done might be construed as
n violation of law and consulted an at
torney to see what my position was.
From my investigation was sure the
ballots used in Marshall county were
not the slips printed at the Office. My
attorney advised me that this being
