FIRE AT GRlNNELl.
c. N. Smith G. Co.'S Store Badly DAM
AGED This Morning.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, March S.-Shortly before =
O'clock this morning In the second story
of the grocery and dry goods store OF
C. N. Smith & Co ON the north side
OF Founth avenue, fire was dis COW
cred by the Iowa Telephone Conn
pany, whose office is directly opposite,
on the south side of the avenue.
The fire started in some summer un-
dercIothing stored in the southeast
corner of a closed room, 12x20. There
was no wood work, near, except the
Dashboard and the floor. There was a
brick wall on the east and a plastered
partition on the south There is at
present no explanation of the origin OF
the fire. The damage done was con-
fined to the room in which the fire
originated, but the goods in the lower
story were damaged considerably by
water. Smith & Son own the build
ing and carried $1,000 insurance on the
building and $4,000 on stock. The Iowa
state carried $4,000 on the stock and
building and there was concurrent in
surance. The damage to the building
is slight and on the stock probably not
to exceed $1,000.

FLOOD IN THE EAST
All Lowlands in the Vicinity Of Will
kesbarre Under Water and Great
Amount Of Damage Has Been Done.

Wilkerbarre, Pa, March s.-At 2
o'clock this morning, the water in the
north branch of the Susquehanna river
was twenty-eight feet and four Inches
above low water mark and still rising
All lowlands are under water and
towns on the west bank of the river
are cut off. The Pennsylvania and
Lackawanna railroads are completely
cut off from communication with the
city. Sonic anthracite mines in the
vicinity are flooded. The business
sections of Plymouth and Edwards
vile are under water and almost all
of west Nanticoke submerged. At Mid
dleton the suffering is great. The bor-
ough council has subscribed $500 for
the relief of the flood sufferers and
the Y. NJ. C. A. building has been
transformed into a temporary hospital.
There is much sickness among the res
idents of the lowlands. All rivers and
streams of eastern Pennsylvania are
bank full and much damage is caus
ed by ice and water.

so long regarded as impregnable, as the
'Gibraiter of the far east has cannon
of old tyres, with poor range.
st must be remembered that 1t is
over forty years since Russia began her
settlement at Vladivostok and then it
was that the Work of fortification was
begun AT one time Vladivostok was
regarded as a marvel of defense, but
I doubt whether it is well prepared
against attack today.
Undoubtedly from the formation of
the heights surrounding the harbor it
naturally is strong place, and the sug-
gestion that it would be attacked at a
distance of five miles over the ice by
ships which appeared like dots on the
horizon never entered the minds of those
who planned the defenses.
The modern 90 inch jubilee gun car
ries twenty miles and the newest IL
inch gun will go as far while the new
6 inch weapon is usually credited with
fifteen miles easy. The extreme height
of the trajectory of the jubilee 90 inch
gun would just have grazed the summit
of Mont Blanc. A few years ago no
artillerst would have dreamed that
such results were possible.

Opinion. differe as to whether the
four Russian cruisers are in the ;harbor
at vladivostok. Rear Admiral onglis,
who is contributing column on the
naval situation to the Daily Telegrap ph
each morning, believes that they are iH
that harbor. He adds:
IF these Russian vessels ere out of
Vladivoatok they must return to that
harbor sooner or later for eoal and pro-
visions, and the Japanese sGaadron, ap-
parently, will be right across their
track.
II doubt whether the vessels left Vlad-
ivostok after their last cruise. Facing
a succession of gales and covered With
ice, they probably suffered some dam
age. and as they are great coal eaters,
the work of repair coaling and revict-
ualing at a poorly equipped port like
yladivostok would not quickly be ac-
complished.
IF they have put to sea the task OF
getting them ready was carried out With
commendabie pronrptness and If the
Japanese squadron off the port of Vlad-
ivostok Is of the strength l imagine 1t
is, the Russians may find it less easy
to return than they anticipated.
T Rear Admiral Inglis further believes
that the failure of the Vladlvostok forts
to reply to the japanese bombardment
was due not only to the fact that Vlad-
ivostok has comparatively few guns but
that these are OF old type for the most
part. For the last three years all war
material that has been available has
gone to the strengthening of Port Ar
thur and other points on the Manchu-
rian coast, and Vladiyostok has been
left with Its old defenses.
With only a single line railway for
all war material from Russia il has
been impossible TO supply the needs of
every base for modern weapons and

there is little likelihood of the sultan

Lyman said Smoot had never re-

the question to Attorney General Mui-

Boone, March "a more serious
phase Of the candy poison case was
reached today when word was received
from Pierre. S. D., that Miss Rena Nell
son, the victim Of the plot had died
last night after week of terrible suf-
fering. 1t is now probable that the
charge against Mrs. Sherman Dye will

the necessary papers can be secured.

proceedings will be fought to the bitter
END. The friends of Mrs. Dye are out
spoken In their belief that she Is inno-
cent and is the victim of a pIOt-that
another person is the guilty one. There
promises to be some sensational devef-
opnents in the case before it is con-
Guided. A quiet investigation has been
going on since Saturday morning re-
garding the package OF candy alleged
to have been postnla:rased ut Boone. etc
Some interesting facts IN this relation
have been brought to light.
The statement that the package 0f
candy was postrnarked Boone led g
an inquiry at the postoffice, as to tlis
manner OF stamping packages. It
was there learned that packages Of.
this description are fourth class masl
and are not required to be stamped
with the name OF the city. AS the
stamping machine hits them too hard
1t is customary to use a sort oe
"dauber" or soft stamp, not bearing
the name of the city. This naturally
led to an inquiry as to the nature OF
the address and from Pierre it was
learned that the package was address,
ed by pasting an addressed envelope
on it. This bore a postmark from
Boone of the late of January 23- The
cancellation Of the package indicated
that it was not mailed at Boone. Tha
place of cancellation will be hard to
determine.
