 At different times some of the dead eys had been broken in the sidewalk vault light and had been replaced. We as- eume that there was one more broken at the time of the fire, and that the hieh winds that prevailed on Saturday night must nave carried either lighted cigar ette' cigar or match through one of these noieh into the basement The stock di- Eectly under the vault lights consisted of nlankets and cotton goods in cases. inc covers being removed, and 1t is oui. opiv,- Ion that the fire dropped into one or more ck these cases. smouIdering until inc alasm was given, filling the building MlLn smoke. and directly the doors were opened by the firemen the flames rushed 70 tne top of the building through 3he smart and caused the explosion of con- gested smoke.

OSCAR STREET MAY COME Fans Get Tip That He May
 Show Up. .STICKNEY IS RETIcENT Non- Communicative Manager
 Encourages Belief. Report Has It That southpaw, with
 Fine Record, is Not Fast Enough For Detroit.

VIII Oscar Streit be "a member of the Montgomery team this summer?
 If this question Is answered in the af- firmative the local fans may felicitate themselves on having what is unques- tionably one of the fastest aggregations in the Southern League this summer. It Is an undisputed fact that last sea- son Oscar Streit was the king pin of pitchers not only on the local team but throughout the Southern League, and when the local battery was announced as streit and Clark the attendance both at home and when the team was on the road was greatly augmented. While The Advertiser cannot state positively that streit will be member of the local team this summer, yet there Is possibility, if not a probability of the speedy south pay again wearing a Montgomery uni form. In discussing the picture of Hen- " lansing that was in the Advertiser yesterday, Manager Stlckney was asked | if he could not get the photograph of some of the other local players.

 This Session.

Three Murder Cases will Be Tried
 This Session.
 Girard, March 20.-(Special.) )-Great in- terest attaches to the session of the Rus sell County Circuit Court, which con- venes tomorrow morning at Scale. as three murder cases, all of which are from Girard, are to be tried. Perhaps the greatest interest is felt in the case of Wilkes Wynn of Hatchechubbee, who Is charged with the murder of R. E. L. Hem derson of Girard who was employed by J. T. Eason of Columbus. Mfr. Tender son had gone to Hatchechubbee to collect debt owed Mir. Eason by Mir. Wynn While Wynn. and Henderson were ridine in 0 buggy to the railway station, Hen derson was shot and killed. The evidence against Wynn Is largely circumstantial.
 Another murder case is that of B. J Giddens, who, while acting as specia officer during the last Girard street fair shot and killed Dudley Putnam, a younl man of this city. Giddens claimed thai the young man cursed and threatened hin and was advancing on him with a knife at the time of the shooting. Putnam. relatives take the position that the shoot ing was unnecessary.

The sanata Clocks

Washington Telegram to the New York
 Mail.
 Senator Cannon never fails to show a good-natured contempt for the Senate, though he confines his f1ippant illusions to informal conversation, and does not, as Mir. Reed. was wont to do. carry ridl- cule of 'the highest legislative body on earth" into his formal utterances
 The other day he met Mir. Frye on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, and rallied the acting president of the upper house" upon the decision of that body to put in another clock.
 Hello, Frye. Hear you are going tn have two clocks in your chamber, What's in the wind:"
 Why. you see. our present clock Is at the rear of the chamber. facing me, and Senators are tired of turning around to consult it. Besides. Cannon. we don't want you to be able to say that the Sen- ate is looking backward"
 Thank God for that! was afraid that if you got in two clocks you would have too much time. on your hands, and God knows waht that menas to the country. "

Well, I can get you a picture of Bush, he said; do you want a pic- | ture of Streit?" he continued
 T already have a picture of Streit. g answered the newspaper man, why is there any chance of your getting him !. again?"
 T haven't heard word from him. said the reticent manager, and not an- other word would he say on the sub ject.
 If Streit returns to Montgomery the local twirling staff will be one of the most formidable in the league, with two southpaws-Streit and Roach-and six rtght-handers-Carter, Hartwell, Deaver. Lucas. Stultz and Polchow. When Streit signed with Montgomery last season the stipulation was made that he was not to be reserved, his contract with Mont gomery expiring in September. His rep- utation was so gilt edged in the South ern League last year that Barrow of the Detroit American League team immedi- ately began angling for him. Oscar signed up with Detroit and is in Shreve- port with the team now, but a rumor is out that American League company Is a bit too fast for him and that he will not be able to make good with Detroit In this event the indications are that he will come back to Montgomery. for he said when he left last year that he would just as soon play in Montgomery as any where else, everything being equal finan- cially, of course.
 If Streit does come back to Montgom- cry it will be almost a repetition of last years post-season baseball history Last year the hard fight over Sis" Hopkins will never be forgotten. Barrow had the soutbpaw down in Shreveport with his Detroit team-"Sis'' however failed to make good and after the week of exhibi- tion games with Montgomery Hopkins was turned over to Whistler If the same thing happens to oscar Streit this year the local fans will send up a great shout of joy. for Streit is an Alabama boy and a great favorite in Montgomery besides.
 Jno. Whitaker reached the city yester- day morning, swelling the local colony of ball players to seven, three outfielders, two infielders and two pitchers. Durett Molseworth and Stickney represent the outfield; Delehanty and Whitaker the in- field. and Lucas and Deaver the pitching department. In the next day or so Roach. Carter. Stultz and Polchow of the box staff: Clark and Manners. backstops; Bush, Schwartz and Pabst, infielders and Zacker. outielder should show up, the probabilities being that some of them should show up today. Practice during the next few days will be something fierce, and the fans will be in their ele- ment-where that practice will be Is as | yet undecided.

DULL WATERFRONT
DURING THE WEEK

Aside from the arrival and departure
of two army transports and the return
of the Iroquois, the waterfront has
been excessively dull during the past
week. There was false alarm Thurs
day that the bark Kaiulani was sight
ed but the vessel turned out to be sim
ply one of the little coasters. The
transport Thomas arrived from Manila
last Sunday, leaving the next day for
the Coast, having on board a full pas
senger list and several prominent peo-
pie, among them being General Wade
the former head of the army In the
Philippines, and DR.. MCGEE who has
been with the japanese Red Cross. On
Wednesday morning the transport Sher-
man arrived from San Francisco with
IS passengers for TINS port and a large
number of through passengers. She
sailed the next day at noon for Ma
Mia via Guam. At noon Wednesday
the Alameda sailed for the Coast with
a small passenger list and about 900
tons of freight. The Iroquois also re-
turned that day from a trip to the
windward islands where she looked in
to lighthouse and buoy questions
and cleaned up Capt. Cooks monument.
The Andrew WEIGH got away for San
Francisco at ITO yesterday with sew
eral passengers and 1000 tons of sugar.
There was the usual amount of ac-
tivity among the island boats. Most
of them are being oyerhauled for the
winter and sugar season.
During the week the W. G. Hall,
Iwaiani and Mauna Loa have been on
the marine railway.
After the next trip the Mauna Loa
will be laid up for general overhaul
ing and to have a new boiler put in.
The w. G. Hall will take her run dur
ing that time.
The vessels in port Excluding obso-
1ete vessels in Naval row and small
island coasters) are:
The Norwegian steamer niger which
is at Railroad wharf No. where she
has been discharging guano; the Frs
kline NJ Phelps which is wintering on
the Waikiki side of the Hackfeld
wharf; the Mauna Loa is at her usual
place at the Inter-Island wharf; the
J. A. Cummins is at the Oceanic wharf
taking on freight.
The steamers Kaiulani and Kinau are
at the Wilder wharf unloading and
taking on freight.
The Likelike is at the Bishop slip
being thoroughly overhauled. The
schooner James Rolph is also at the
Bishop slip. She is unloading her car
go of lumber.
