minutes the fire boys were on hand.
The fire was put out with buckets of
water and by using hand fire eXtin-
guisher. The buildings were damaged
considerably. No damage to household
goods. The origin of the fires Is some
what of mystery, no two persons
seeming to have the same opinion. The
fire was caused by the chimney or
chimneys. Some think the Thornton
house caught fire first and the Red
nan house from 1t. Others think 1t was
the other WAY. And still others think
that each was separate fire. having
no connection one with the other.

ISLE OF PINES STATUS
CONTROVERSY WILL BREAK OUT
 WITH AUGMENTED VIOLENCE.
Resume of Points at Issue--MaryInnd Republican Leaders Up in Arms over Appointment of Bal
 timOre Postmaster.

Washington, Dec. 29.-(Special. )- The Isle of Pines controversY which occupied the attention of the Senate in executive session last year Is to come up again after the holidays in renewed vexatious form. A number of South erners who went to the island during the American occupation of Cuba are interested in the settlement of the ques- tion whether the rights they acquired tfere by purchase and as citizens of the United States shall be disturbed by Cuban laws. Among those concern ed is Samuel Fl. Pearcy, formerly of Nashville. who built, as contractor, the first street railway in Tennessee's cap ital.
 Mir. Pearcy was engaged in merchan- dising in Havana when the Americans were in possession of Cuba. and, vis- iting the Isle Of Pines. obtained op- tions upon considerable lands which were owned by wealthy Spaniards who were willing to part with them, because they were not willing to hold them un- der the prospective Cuban Government Pending the remission of the island of Cuba to the revolutionists. Mir. Pearcy organized a company of American in- vestors who bought the lands and col onized them with families from this country.
 The treaty of Paris, which ceded from Srain to the United States the island of Porto Rico and all other islands be- longing to Spain in the West Indies, except Cuba, caused no apprehension among the American residents of the Isle of Pines and they went on with their improvement operations. Then came negotiations between Cuba and the United States conducted by Secre- tary Hay with the result that the Cuban Government was permitted to establish rule over the island. This was sore disappointment to the

SHARPLEY CRITICISED
EXAMINER WILKINSON REPORTS
 ON MORGAN OFFICIALS.
Tax Assessor Failed to Keep He Books Correctly, But Others Were in
 Main Found to Be
 All Rtght,

Assistant State Examiner ". F. Will kinson criticises Tax Assessor A. W. Sharply for some arbttrary book keep ing in his report on the examination Of books of Morgan County officials. suh mitted to Acting Governor Cunning ham yesterday.
 According to Examiner Wilkinson. Assessor sharpley failed to make as- sessments on exempt property. leaving the columns of his books blank under this head. Nor did he carry out the fractions in calculating the taxes on property. thus throwing his books out of balance.
 Examiner Wilkinson intimates that Assessor sharplsy Is doing the county of Morgan an injustice in leaving off his books the assessments on exempt property. It tends to show up the property valuations in smaller amounts than the county is entitled to,
 ''He made no assessments of exempt property" says Mir. Wilkinson in his report. and the columns under this head are blank. In calculating the taxes on property he did not carry out the fractions. hence his book was out of balanee and there is no way of mak- the entire book and carrying out the fractions in each undivided case.
 By not putting in the exempt prop erty 1t makes the taxes of Morgan County show up badly" continues the report.
 For instance, the taxable value of mechanical tools and farming imple- ments Is ss,20o. and that of guns, piss tols, bowie knives, etc., $5,600, nearly as much as the former.
 All the hogs in the county are only valued at $s50, sheep and goats little more.
 'of course, this showing Is made by leaving out the exemptions. Erasures are often made through the whole book and new and indistinct figures sub stituted. Tn making out the taxes he gave the State the benefit of the odd cents in most instances, hence the State was a gainer and suffers no loss."
 Tax Collector c. c. Hardwick was found 77 cents short. He was charged with the following amounts credited by the State Auditor. but still showing on the books of the Board of County Commissioners: State tax. S464e; sol- dier tax, $1S.53; school tax. $55.59. All of these were properly placed to his credit.
 The books of the following other of ficials of Morgan County were reported to have been correctly kept: W. E. Skeggs. Probate Judge; J. s. Fowler, Circuit Clerk; J. H. Wiggins. Sheriff. and J. c. Tidwell, Superintendent of

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.

 Company Contrsversy.

Judge Sayre MaIkes an Order in Lighs
 Company Contrsversy.
 Judge A. D. Sayre has dissolved the temporary injunction granted the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company, restraining the Citixen's Light, Heat and Power Company from stringing its wires from the pole on the corner of Commerce Street and Court Square.
 It will be remembered that when the Citisen's Light. Heat and Power Com pany first secured It's franchise from the City Council of Montgomery, the Company was granted the right to use certain designated poles of the old company. The old company nled a petition for permanent injunction in the City Court of Montgomery in Equity to prevent the new company using the pole on the corner of Com. merce Street and Court Square aver- ring that human life would thereby be endangered.
 A temporary injunction was granted. Several weeks ago, Judge Sayre sus- tained the demurrers of the Citizen's Light, Heat and Power Company to the bill and Wednesday he sustained their motion to dissolve the injunction for want of equity. The case will be appealed to the Su- preme Court of Alabama where q sim- liar cause is now pending.
