 The other two indictments were against Scott Towers, who has charge of one of the principal sub-postofi1ce stations in Washington. He is accused of having re- ceived a commission on the sale of type writing machines of the government in contravention of the revised statutes, which prohibit officers or employees of the United States from receiving other com pensation than their salaries for procur- ing contracts from the government or for services rendered.

HOT FIRE;
 LOSS $5,OOO Gorrie's Flaming Mill
 Was Destroyed. RESIDENCE NEXT DOOR Flames Burst Forth While Family Was at Supper. Effective Work of the Bremen Saved Other Buildings-orisin is Un-
 known-was Insured
 for $1,5o0.

The blaming mill and residence of D. F. Gorrie 34 nd 306 North Lawrence Street and the store of A. Ockenden adjoining were last night shortly after o'clock completely destroyed by fire. The fire burned fiercely and had 1t not been for effective work by the Montgom- ers fire department, the entire block would have undoubtedly burned. The alarm was sent in few moments after the flames were discovered in the rear end of the mill. The department re- sponded quickly. The yellow pine lumber stored in the mill was so dry that before the Madison Avenue companies reached the scene of the fire, 1t was evident that nothing could be done to save either the mill or the store.
 The blaze was one of the largest seen in Montgomery in some time. An old fireman remarked that he never felt a hotter blaze. Sparks as large as a mans hand hoated through the air. Telegraph poles and trees adjoining the buildings were burned. A small panic was started when cry rang out, "the wires are fall ing" Men and women dashed about In every direction needless of anything but their safety. To save further consterna- tion the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company disconnected the wires likely to fall
 Ihe entlre attenClon or the department was directed to saving the neighboring houses. Citizens with buckets of water drenched the sides of the buildings. At one time a stiff west breeze started. The flames swept across Lawrence Street lighting trees on the opposite side and threatening the old Nelson house.
 The stable to the old building caught fire but the flames were quickly extin- guished by several patrolmen and civil fans.
 Although every effort was made by the department to save the Gcrrie residence, the house. two-story frame structure, was practically destroyed. At times, it was problematical whether :he residence of William Young, 314 North Lawrence Street would not follow the fate of the Gorrie buildings.
 It was well after T o'clock last night when the dremen returned to the sta- tons.
 J. M. Gorrie, bookkeeper of the plan ing mill, said thal the plant and resi- dence was almost total loss, amounting to over 5000. Insurance was carried amounting to A,50O.
 He could not say how the fire originat- ed. The boiler had been carefully in- spected before the doors of the mill were closed. Mir Gorrie and his family were at supper when the fire was discovered by a negro. Nothing in the mill was | saved and only a few household articles | were saved from the residence.
