to a well-known business man of VIII
inington and came IN a crate especially
constructed for carrying it. The dimin-
utive speciman Of horse flesh was neatly
clipped and groomed and was scarcely
larger than a good sized dog. Officials
of the company say that it is not un-
usual to have a full grown horse Ship

FELTON,. April 21.-This town OF SIX nun
dred inhabitants was visited by hre
early this morning which threatened TO
destroy the place. But for the Iact lla'
the wind. which was blowing gale sud-
denly changed, the centre OF the town
would have been gutted. The names
raced from 1870 O'Clock until 3 o'clock
and were gotten under control at the lat

The dwellings, that were burned we're
owned by Mr. Hubbard and were occu-
MED by the families Of George carson,

who were sound asleep. The occupants
hastily departed and lost all of their ef-
fects The other residents were also
aroured and they too made a Nasty de-

OPPOSE RATE LEGISLATION
FIVE RAILWAY LABOR ORGAN
j NATIONS MAKE PROTEST.
Fear Lower Tariffs Will Mean Cut in
Wages-President Assures Them
of Fair Treatment.

Washington, Nov. 15.-An earnest
protest was made to the president
Tuesday against proposed railroad
Freight rate legislation. The protest
was filed by representatives OF the 1--we
great labor organizations connected
with railroading-the engineers, ire
men, conductors, switchmen ana train
men. The members of the delegation
which called on the president repre-
scented the several organizations. They
pointed out to him that railroad rate
legislation logically meant the lower
ing Of rates. This they contended Will
be followed by lessening of the earn
ing power of railroads. and conse-
uuently by reduction eventually OF the
wages of railroad employees.
The delegation which called on the
president came from IL different
states and represented all OF the larger
systems of railroads.
George Huntley, of the Conductors
organization, presented to the presi'
dent a statement of the character OF
the organizations represented, and as
sured him that no faint of partisanshiI
or political coloring existed in any
degree among the members OF the
delegation.
In response President Roosevelt as
sured the delegation that it was moi
his purpose or the purpose of those
who favored railroad rate regulation
to do anything that might injure the
railroads of the country, or, incidental
~, the employees of the railroads. He
said that it was his purpose that al
classes-railroads, shippers and EN-
ployes-should have perfectly fail
treatment. He was of opinion tha1
the proposed legislation would no
mean a reduction necessarily in rail
road rates, and suggested that thu
members of the delegation, therefore
were proceeding on a wrong under
standing of the situation.

LAW is UPHELD.
supreme Court Decides Money Lost
at Gambling Must Be
Returned.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The Ohio
anti-gambling statute was upheld in
an opinion handed down in the SUI
preme court of the United States Mon
day by Justice Peckham, in the case
of William Marvin vs. Belle Trout.
The case involved the constitutional
ity of section 4273 of the Revised Stat
utes of Ohio authorizing any person
who loses money at gambling 10 bring
sIt for its recovery Mrs. Trout is
the wife Of Frank Trout, and Marvin
the owner of the building in Findlay,
o., In which Frank Trout is alleged
to have lost $5,O82 on one occasion.
and $1,794 on another. Mrs. Trout
sued under the state law to recover,
and was given judgment by the
trial court. That judgment was sus-
tanned by the state supreme court and
the opinion confirmed the decision Of
both Of these courts.
