100000 FIRE.
Cincinnati Loses Block of Five
Story Buildings

CINCINNATI Loses a Block of Five
Story Buildings
Cincinnati, Nov. 0.-Fire caused
a'loss to-day in the central part Of
the city, on the south side Of
Fourth, between Walnut and Main
streets and also on Main near
Fourth, approximating 100000.
It started about noon in an aban.
doned building in the rear of the
Pounsford Stationery Company.
There was strong wind that
caused the flames to spread rapidly
so that with the whole FIRE depart
nent worked it required several
hours to get the fire under control,
and early in the afternoon gener-
al confagration was apprehended
The loss on the several fve-story
buildings was $14,00 as follows:
McMicken estate SIS, 600; Rudolph
Wurlitzer, $4,000; Baker estate,
$40, 600; Sammett Brothers, $40, 900;
]. Frank Jones, $4,000.
The nine-story st. Paul building,
owned by the Emerys, stopped the
FIRE westward and was damaged
about $500. Next west of the st.
Paul building is the eighteen-story
new building of the First National
Bank which suffered no damage.
But little was saved east of the St.
Paul building to Main street.
As the McMicken estate all went
to the University of Cincinnati,
that institution is heavy loser.
The heaviest losses were on stocks
as follows:
The Rudolph WurlitzerC Company,
pianos and musical instruments,
$500, 900; insurance 1920, 600.

pany, 100000

white and colored funds be kept
separate and that we have a COM
pulsory school law; also, that tax
be levied by the county sufficient to
run our schools 9 or 10 months.

their vote and influence for the pas
sage of law which will give us a
uniform system of graduation
throughout the State.

WHEN A MAN MARRIEs.

Lhere De dreamers even in these
sleepless timesl And the Joy of il
is that the best dreamers are those
who preach the practical. A poet
may live spell in his idle fancies,
but he is transient boarder com
pared with the sober-minded person
measures out plans for the Danish
ment of family worries and works
solemnly in the conviction that he
is going to make all men and wo.
men sensible.
Thus we are reminded Of two pet
ambitions of social reform, and, in
the general topsyturviness of things
as they should be and things as
they are, we take the second first:
the division of the family income.
It is the familiar topic of thousand
woman's pages. The wife should
have fixed sum each week; the
sons and daughters should receive
stated allowances as regularly as
the head OF the family draws his
salary. Every part of the scheme
is figured out with mathematical
accuracy, and no one can deny ell
Their its arithmetic or its logic. It'll
is the evident thing, the plain plan
OF wisdom, the unacceptable teach
ing Of common. sense. But-people
will get sick, new babies will come,
doctors will charge fees, health
trips must be made, relatives need
to be helped, expenses will vary,
and the income goes in Jumps in
stead of regular fractions distrib-
uted according to definite and
changeless rules.
Then the other point which comes
before marriage -the question of
an adequate income for the young
people who want to embark upon
the matrimonial sea without pre-
paid tickets. Ever since the dawn
wise men and women have decried |
the follies of moneyless love. A
literature of proverbs has been built
upon it. Advice and experience
have poured forth immeasurable
warnings. In countries where gov
eminent is monarchical the author
tiles take hand; in Germany to-
day the Emperor's men must have
permission before they can marry.
Now in our own fair land comes
General Corbin with the grave
statement that the American army
Is overmarried and that something
should be done to restrain young
officers on small pay from contract
ng life obligations calling for large
1t is in no snobbish
spirit that he makes his report, al
.hough the newspapers have been
'ather hard on him; he is evidently

ncontrovertible.
Just there is the supreme diff
ulty. Love, the rascal, knows nei-

The Breakdown of Our Train
Dispatch System.

The greatest number of collisions
reported in these bulletins we're due
to failure of the train-order system in
some of its parts. Dispatchers gave
wrong orders, or failed to give orders
where they were required; operators
failed to copy orders correctly, or did
not deliver orders that should have
been delivered; conductors and engi
neers misread, misinterpreted, over
looked, or forgot orders. Seventy five
accidents of this class are noted, re-
sulting in 1873 deaths and S28 injuries
to passengers and employees. Many
of the most distressing collisions that
have occurred in this country were
due to mistakes in orders. and the reg
ularity and frequency with which
such accidents occur emphasize the
necessity of radical improvement in
the methods of handling trains by tel
egraphic ordes or the abolition Of the
train-order system entirely.
It is noteworthy that 4 of the above
rs collisions, reulting in IA deaths
aud 81 injuries to passengers and en-
ployees. and property loss of nearly
one hundred thousand dollars, were
due to identical mistakes in reading
orders, the overlooking Of "2nd"
or "Second." The following is
typical example of this sort of error:
Conductor and engineman Of one train
| misread orders. They had ~ Or
der against Second No. - but read
it No. l. engineman was killed. Be-
ing on form 19, the order was not
read by the operator to the conductor
and engineman. - This mistake eaus-
ed butting collision between a pas
senger and freight train, IN which 4
persons were killed and so injured.
It may be observed that the collis-
ion at Warrensburg, Mo-. on October
10, in which 30 persons were killed
and an equal number terribly injured,
was another instance of this sort Of
error. Such identical errors empha-
size the need of some change in the
scheme of numbering or naming
trains or in writing the numbers or
names in dispatche1s' orders.
A collision between passenger and
a freigat train, in which % persons
were killed and 25 injured, was due,
also, to misreading orders. The con-
ductor Of the freight train read l
hour and 90 minutes, but the order
was written 20 minutes. Collisions
due to operators copying orders
wrongly or failing to deliver orders
are numerous. One collision was due
to the engineer of one of the trains
misreading the name OF the station
written in his order. Mistakes OF
dispatchers are not so numerous, but
there are several cases of lap orders
and failure to make meeting point

WEDDING BELLS At WEDGEFlELD.
Marriage of Miss Lucy MelIett and Mr..
&. w. Nettles.

Wedgefeld. Nov. II On Thursday
evening the Baptist church was the
scene of beauty, Que which will be
loug remembered by the many rela-
tiyes and friends who bad assembled
to witness the marriage of Miss Lucy
Mellett, the bright and attractive
daughter of Mr.. Peter Mellett, to Mr..
E. ". Nettles. The church had been
tastily decorated by friends, the altar
was transformed into bed of flowers
consisting of cryauthemums, ferns, and
potted plants. To the strains of the
bridal charus from Lohengrin. which
was beautifully rendered by Miss Bet
tie Aycock, the bridal party entered

Miss Marguerite .Mellett, came up the

Rivers and Douglas jenkins, the ush-
ers, The groom with his best man,
Mr.. C. F. Lesesne, came up the right
aisle preceded by Messrs. julian Brad
ford and Harry Mellett, ushers.
On reaching the alter the bride and
groom stood. beneath a pretty arch
from the apex of which a lovely bell
made of cryathemums was suspended,
where they faced the pastor, Rev.
7. P. Lide, who, with short but
very impressive ceremony, united them
in the holy bond of matrimony.
The bride was attired in dress Of
white chiffon trimmed in white lace,
the veil was caught up with lovely
bunch of orange blossoms and hung in
graceful folds, and the bouquet was
white cryanthemums tied with white
ribbon.
The maid CT honor's dress was white
organdie.
The bride is one OF our most popular
and attractive young ladies, and the
groom is a successful planter.
The bride and groom left on the
evening train for Sumter where they
will spend a few days with the groom S
mother, Mrs. W. A. Nettles, after
which they will be at home to their
friends at Melrose,'' their country

From Napier New Zealand Hearld: Two
2ears ago the Pharmacy Board of New
South Wales, Australia, had an analysis
made of all the cough meoi-
cines that were sold in that mark

found only one that they declared was en-
tirely free from all poisons. This exception
was Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, made by
the Chamberlain Medicine Company, Des
Moines, Iowa, q. 8. A. The absence of all
narcotics makes this remedy the safest and
best that can be had and it is with feel.
ing of security that any mother can give
it to her little ones. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is especially recommended by ite
makers for coughs, colds, Group, and
