JEROME TO WAR.
New York District Attorney viii Fol-
low up Charges Against Justices.

New York, Dec. i.--Distrlct Attor.
noy Jerome announced today that he
intended to follow up his charge that
some OF the Justices OF the supreme
court had begged their nominations
and had retained business interests
after going on the bench.
Mr.. jerome would not give the
names OF the Justices he had in mind.
When pressed for an answer he said :
"Go and ask anyone who thoy are. II
Is an open secret. Every politician
knows the men mean"
None of the fifteen judges OF the
supreme court cared to discuss at any
length District Attorney Jcrome's at
tack
Justice Bischoff said that If an &C.
counting was required OF him by the
people he was ready to have his con.
duct examined at any time. He acted
as executor OF his fathers estate, he
said, but beyond that had no other out.
side interests.
Justice Bischoff thought that Judges
should be elected. He said that n
Judge was closer to the people than
any other man and that they should
have voice in his selection.
AS to the question as to whether he
was in any other business he said
that was a private affair. Sometimes
Judges could not escape being thrust
into business, he said. Then he re
fcrred to his own case in the manage
ment OF his fathers estate.
Justice Geigrich, when asked about
Mr.. Jeromes attack, said he never
credited newspaper reports unless YER
flied by stenographic minutes.
Other judges, O'Gorman, Blanchard,
TruaX, Stover, Amend. Leventrtt,
Davis, Mccall, Fitzgerald. MacLcan
and Scott had nothing to say. Justice
Belts defended his colleagues.
Justice Greenbaum denied that he
was subserVient to any politicians. 81

RAILROAD DEPOT BURNS

Blaze Originated in the Chimney.
Fire Brands Flew In the Dense
Smoke-one Freight Car Caught
Afire-Barn Of Herman Splerns,
LFrom satnrday's Dnlly.l

tFrom Saturday DARYL
There we're two fires in Norfolk last
night-the city station of the North.
western railway company burned to
the ground, and barn of Herman
Spiering at South Norfolk was de-
stroyed with number of chickens In
side. The Northwestern depot is a
total loss, only a few bits Of furniture
being saved. The freight house at the
south end of the depot burned, with
large quantity of freight. The fire
is thought to have originated in the
chimney. 1t was discovered at IL
o'clock.
The fire boys made a speedy re-
sponse to the a'arm of fire, the Mast
Hose company, Queen City Hose com
pany. Hook and Ladder company and
the Third Ward company all getting
to the blaze in short order. The build
ing, however was so dry that it
burned rapidly and the fire fighters
could only turn their attention the
freight cars at hand.
In the dense smoke there were in
nuremable fire brands that shot high
up into the air with spectacular bril-
liancy. They endangered the build
ings OF the neighborhood and did set
afire one freight car which was hauled
out Of the way by a switch engine.
The loss can not as yet be estimat-
ed, as it is not yet known what the
value of the freight in the building
was A. H. Winder is one man who
lost considerably in this way His
sample cases, including shoes and
gloves, were destroyed. The wires
were melted away near the station by
the heat.
The other fire was that of barn
of Herman Spiering at South Norfolk.
1t burned at about o'clock last night,
and was out of reach of hose so that
the firemen could not save it.
What furniture was saved from the
station was taken to the weigh sta
ton of the Ames beet sugar factory
across the tracks.
The two fires of last night make five
within less than a week for Norfolk.
The other three occurred in one night
that in the house on South Thir-
teenth street; that in the Washington
school house; and a blaze in the chin
ney of the Pacific hotel which routed
out the guests but did little damage.

A Card from Hon. Geo. Y. Hun
ley.


To the people of Mathews and
Middlesex:
From the first, my position in
regard to being a candidate for
reelection to the House of Dele
gates has been, (IJ that l re-
garded it as the right of Middlesex
TO have the candidate this time
and that if any Democrat of that
county, with the backing of his
people, aspired, l would not en-
ter the field, and CD that l did
not care to be a candidate in any
event If there was to be a hard
fought contest for the nomination.
/ announce this as my position to
friends in both counties whenever
the subject was mentioned to me.
enquired as to sentiment in
MiddleseX and was informed by
prominent Democrats there that
would probably not be opposed
by any formidable candidate of
that county. There seemed to be
a disposition to give way to the
incumbent for another term. In
Mathews l heard nothing what
ever to indicate that any other
Democrat of considerable follow
ing would aspire. SO far as
could learn the people seemed
satisfied to have me represent
them another term.
Under these circumstances and
being urged by friends not to de-
lay longer, l announced myself a
candidate for reelection. But
since doing so, two prominent
Democrats, one of Mathews and
the other of Middlesex, have an
nounced themselves candidates
for the nomination. Had / known
that these gentlemen would as
pire to the position, / would not
have announced myself a candi-
date for the reasons stated above.
Therefore, in the light of these
developments, still adhering to
the position which / announced
from the first, l shall not be a
candidate.
From my standpoint, under the
system of alternating that has
heretofore prevailed. l cannot
consistently oppose, in this elect
ion. a Middlesex Democrat back
ed by any considerable number OF
the people of that County. More
over, if unjust deyote my whole
