Fire.

by fire Sunday evening, 9th inst, in
Guiding nearly all Mr.. Porter's house
hold furniture and other goods. TIE
family was away from home at church
and visiting neighbors. There was no
insurance, it is said, upon the household
goods. The house belonged to the
Union Mining Company. Mr.. Porter
was subsequently arrested and held in
bond for appearance before the grand
jury.
The rear rooms of the Pckin public
school building were damaged by fire
Wednesday night. At one time it was
feared the building would be total loss,
but heroic volunteer work saved it. The
Homecoming Fire Department, mile
away, reached the scene little too late.

saloon, Federal Hill, Saturday evening,

inner man, ana while there instituted
request which looked to the imDr0n,J,tu
construction of homemade cigarette.
But Mr.. Offman didn't have the in
gradients and turned away to wait upon
a customer whose wish was not so
complicated.
At this Jeffries took umbrage, drew a
short gun and fired.
One of the company, however, seeing
this action, struck the pistol an upward
blow and the shot went wide of the
mark. This stroke probably saved Off
mans life.
Bailitf Fisher arrested Jeffries and on
a trial for carrying concealed weapons"
justice Weimer adjudged him guilty and
fines and costs amounted to Sl3 10.
AS much seems to depend upon the
seriousness of the charge, no one knows

allegation.

The hypnotic performance of Jane
at the Frostburg Opera House Monday
evening was attended with several mis-
fortunes.
Jane, at one point, was going to con-
vert the Star Spangled Banner into an
assortment of bandana handkerchiefs,
or rice rerSd, but the pesky flag unscien-
tItically manipulated, showed up both
sides before the cabalistic words could be
said and the evolution accomplished.
Then there was going to be some
pictures shown, but bad connection or
imperfect insulation interviewed, burned
the operator severely, consumed all his
films, and started an alarm of fire
which induced number of boys to
jump from the gallery to the stage
Probably the saddest part of this
chapter of misfortunes happened to the
hypnotized lady. While lying prone in
space, defying the law of gravitation,
the hypnotist called for the curtain to
fall. Instead, the operator misunder-
stood, and the lady, not the curtain,
slowly but surely descended to the floor
1t was very notifying.
