The disastrous FIRE in Baltimore City
has attracted many people from this
county during the past few days. A
large number went down on Sunday
evening to view the ruins. Sight seers
stand little chance of getting close t. tie
burned district as soldiers are in charge
of all property within some little distance
of where the fire occurred. The rigors OF
the military law are upheld so as to
prevent thievery and vandalism. 1t is
sad to record, that even under such try
ing circumstances as these, there are
people who have reached such low
grade of civilization as to steal from
those who arc already poverty stricken
from the effect of the fire.
