FIRE NOT FROM HEATER.
A Student of the Oxford Female Sem
mary Gives a New Cause.

Another account of the origin of the
fire which destroyed the Oxford Female
Seminary, was yesterday given by. Miss
Lula Olive, of Wade, a student of the
Seminary who has been in Raleigh since
the fire. visiting at the home of her uncle,
Mr.. w. H. Bland, and who left yesterday
for her home.
Miss Olive says there was no heater IN
the room occupied by Miss Anna Speace,
of Boone, where he fire started. She
says that it is thought that loose brick
in the 1ue was the cause, that the chin
neys were old, and that the fire started
where a brick had fallen out
Miss Olive, who roomed near Miss
Speace, says that number of the girls
say that they sInelt smoke during Sunday
night and that the fire must have been
smoldering then, and that before break
fast a number of girls had mentioned it.
She says that but one trunk was saved
from the fourth floor, and not much from
the third. In speaking of herself she
said: 81 got out my trunk and just let 1T
slide down the steps, having pulled it to
the top on the second floor" Miss Speace,
she says, was one of the young ladies' who
lost diamond ring.
1t is a great hardship which has come
we'll as the instructors, and it is hoped
by them and their friends that some steps
will be taken to give the students a
chance to make up the time which other
wise must be lost, because of the fire.

Concerning Russia's wish to consult
France, it is said that the Russian For
eign Minister, Count Lamsdorf, has hlgh
regard for NJ. Delcasse's prudence IN meet
ing difficult situations.
London JAN 20.-The Foreign Office has
reason to believe that Russia is willing to
concede practically all Japans demands,
but that she cannot see her way to make
a treaty with Japan, recognizing IN black
and white China's sovereignty over Man
churia. Russia has approached Great
Britain to urge Japan to forego this stipu-
lation and to accept in lieu thereof the
assurances to the same end already gwen
to the other powers.
ST. Petersburg. Jan. 20.-A high official
informed the Associated Press correspond
ent that the anti-American irritation IN
certain government quarters here Is due
to the conviction that Japan's aggressive
ness is largely the result of the American
attitude, which. he added. presumably is
based on fear that the Manchurian treaties
will not be respected. although the official
insisted the United States was informed
months ago that Russia would recognize
them.
London. Jan. 20.-Japanese newspapers
publish report from continental sources
that Russia has decided to appeal to the
powers to avert war. This is regarded
here as proof of Russia's unreadipess to
make satisfactory concessions.

claims that he was hoodwinked.
Constable Upchurch, who is the game
warden for this county, yesterday had
warrant made out for the arrest Of Mr..
Eller and this was sent to Greensboro

was discovered in Greensboro when the
reshipment was made, the game warden
there, Mr. Weatherly, having dog that
has been trained to scent the birds. He
has made number OF captures and it
is said that there were about 500 birds in
the four crates that were reshipped from
here.
Mr.. Marsh, who is a young business
man of this city, has given out the fol
lowing statement concerning the matter
for publication:
"Mr. e. u. Eller. of Greensboro, came
in to see me Saturday morning While
| had made o few business transactions
with him, I had never met him person
ally, nor had I ever seen him before,
When he walked into my store he intro
duced himself, and in the course of his
conversation a short while after he had
come into my office, he incidentally en-
qured about our egg market. My reply
was that eggs were a little off on our
market. He then said there were five
crates of eggs at the express office for
me- shipped by him (Eller) from Green's
boro. and as eggs were little off here,
he wished l would forward those eggs to
Hickman & Co.. Washington, D. c. I
very readily agreed to do so, thinking l
was only performing a favor fer him.
when the express wagon came up
with the eggs Mr.. Eller was in my Of
flee, and did not have the eggs unload
ed. but simply remarked them to go
ahead, but there were two other crates
in the express wagon shipped to me from
New Hill, n. c., and as Mr.. Eller told
me eggs were bringing a good price in
Washington. I decided 1 would forward
my two crates also, making a total ship
ment of seven crates. 1t turned out that
four of these crates shipped by Mr.. Eller
contained birds. This is all l know in
regard to the matter, as Mr.. Eller never
intimated to me that there was anything
except eggs in the crates.
