EXPERT
AT WORK

The condition Of the steel bridge
across the Willamette has caused some
concern on the part of the county and
city officials, and they determined to
make a thorough inspection of the en-
tire structure
County Judge Scott, Commissioners
Needham and Miley and Mayor Waters
engaged the services of Expert Lock
wood of Portland, and this afternoon
they are engaged in making a critical
examination.
The bridge is thought to be perfect
ly safe, but for some time whenever a
heavy load was on it the vibrations
were plainly noticeable The iron rods
and supports are loose, and need tight
ening, and other minor repairs will be
made The cost of the work will be
divided equally between Marion and
Polk counties and the city of Salem.

MANLEY
PUMMELS
OFFICER
Result of a Long Staining
Difference

The elimination of a long standing
difference between Officer Penand, of
South Salem, and John Manley, a po-
tato grower of that peaceful commune
ty, was a rough and tumble fight at the
corner of Wilson and Fir streets this
noon. Penland's side of the story is
that he was on his way to hitch up his
team and 90 to work, when met by
ManIcy who demanded TO know why
he (Penland) had been talking about
hil", but that the situation was the re-
verso, end Manley had been talking
about him. Manley raised his fist as
though to strike the officer, whereupon
Penland ordered him to desist, and
tried to rat HIM under arrcrst, but
Manley, paying no attention to the
commands of the officer, continued to
adv apce in a threatening manner, and
ierlanl ,rcw his club Manley then
hit him, and closing on him, the two
men clinched and rolled in the mud,
with Manley on top, and while holding
the officer down, he struck him two
blows, one on the shoulder and one on
the left cheek, the latetr leaving
mark in the absence of some skin. The
officer must have returned the compli-
ment, for Manley has a left eye which,
from present indications, win be of
beautiful blush black hue before
many hours. When a few jabs and
punches had been exchanged the two
men arose from the mud, and Manley
peaceably submitted to arrest, and was
brought to the police station on the
street ear.
He will have a hearing at 8 a. m.
Thursday.

best of his ability. Occasionally the
mechanism of the clock became dis
arranged and some remarkable tolls
were heard.
From the time that the last news
Of the fire reached New York this
morning until the firemen of New
York planted against the walls of the
ice houses by the shore of the Chesa-
peake, said to the flames, "Thus far
and no farther" the story of the fire
is one of ruin and destruction from
the business centre to the sea.
But for the dreadful calamity
which has plunged the city in such
ruin the town presents holiday ap-
pearance. Every incoming train

The city is under the strictest

THE EBALTIMORE FIRE IS NOW
UNDER CONTROL.
More Than One Thousand Buildings
Have Been Destroyed in the
District Bounded by How
ard, Fayette and Pratt.

Baltimore, Feb. 9.-The business
centre Of Baltimore is a scene of des-
olation. The fire, which devastated
the business section of the city yes
terday, was early this evening
sweeping the water front with ter
rible effect, but the end after nearly
thirty-six hours Of fame was in sight.
The fire was then officially declared
under control. All is chaos in the
section swept by flames and dyna-
mite. Ba.e walls, gutted buildings
and towering ruins now mark where
only forty-eight hours ago sky-scrap-
ers and magnificent Office buildings
stood
What the loss will be the future
only can tell. One hundred million
dollars is considered to be a conser-
vative estimate. Some estimates go
as high as two hundred and fifty
millions. More than one thousand
buildings have been destroyed in
the district bounded by Howard,
Gay, Fayette and Pratt streets.
Comptroller Ridgely has declared
a legal holiday for the banks in or
der to protect them in paper coming
due, and tonight the Legislature
passed an order making it a legal
holiday for eight days for the same
purpose.
After travelling to the water front
the flames about two o'clock were
gotten under control. The progress
Of the fire was stopped at the foot of
Union dock and kept from leaping
to the Canton side Of Jones Falls, a
narrow stream separating the burn
ed section from the shipping dis
trict.
In about as many hours the fire
had burned thirty blocks out of the
very HEART vi lnG DuSluSSS SOCl1Ou vi
the town, destroying nearly two
thousand buildings and caused an
estimated money loss of more than
/ 500, coo, 600. The area of the fire
swept district is estimated By the

CONFEDERATE ROSTER.
THE COPYING BY THE GOV
ERNMENT
Is Well Under Way, But The Prog
ress Is Very Sl0w-The Scope
of the Military Record
Not Yet Decided.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-The
work of copying the Confederate
rosters for publication by the govern
ment is well under way, but progress
is slow. General Ainsworth, chief
of the records and pension division
of the War Department, said to-day
that there was an immense amount
of labor involved in the preparation
of the rosters OF the two armies for
publication, and it was impossible to
prOphesy as to the time that it would
require to complete it. This is spec
tally true when it is realized that the
Congress has not definitely decided
the scope of the work.
'I cannot tell now how much of
the military record of each man we
will use," said General Ainsworth.
"Of course, it is desirable that the
volume contain as much of the war
history of each man in the army on
either side as possible, but the size
of the work is to be regulated by the
appropriation made for it, and the
details th.s il IS to contain have not
been definitely agreed upon"
General Ainsworth said that the
work of transcribing the rolls of Con-
federates in northern prisons, and
those exchanged, had begun. Later
the rosters of organizations turned
over to the department after the fall
of Richmond will be transcribed.
''The Confederate rolls are much
more full than the average Southern
man believes" said General Aims
worth. "When Richmond was cap
tured the records were knocked
around for day or two, but in
short time an official of the United
States government went down there
and took charge of all that could be
found. I do not think nearly so
many were destroyed as people
think.
