A steady northeast wind. which blew
the flames toward the river, saved the
town of Bread Ford, the buildings of

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad station
from destruction.
Smoke was first seen issuing from
the third story of the building which
was alongside the Baltimore q Ohio

AMONG THE PASTMASTERS.

Readers of the American doubtless
noticed dispatch which appeared III
its columns Thursday from Cincinnati
in reference to the list of 4, 900 city
jobs to be vacated by the Repu Dlicans
under the Boss Cox regime, and turned
over to the new Democratic admins
tration. The revelation shows a sys
tenn of grating calculated to make
Tammany turn green with envy. The
work house pay roll, for instance, bore
the names of three musical direc
toresses, each receiveing 81 a day.
One might naturally wonder what use
a work house had for a musical direc-
toresses 1t had none. Music is not

Boss Cox was good to his people.
If there were no jobs for triends, they
were created. The system of graft was
perfect. A boss with 1000 jobs in
stock and the ingenuity and aDility to
create more WAS naturally man of in
tiuence. The city paid the freight II

eggs for the army of grafters. This is

her to a doctor, who said it was

all the time. Her little face and body
were so covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had a
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even her finger nails fell
off. Then it itched so she could not

could get no rest. At last we got

Japanese Peace Terms as Presented
Impossible of Acceptance.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE news
paper Offices were informed of the
Japanese peace terms through the AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches from Ports
mouth and they rapidly became
known. At the embassies and among
the officials of the various depart
ments the terms were declared to be
excessive and impossible of. accept
ance if they constituted the Japanese
ultimatum, but generally they were
regarded merely as basis on which
to negotiate further. ......
1t was argued at the embassies and
in other quarters that settlement
might still be possible if certain fea-
lures, such as the REIMBURSEMENT Of
the interned warships and the limita-
ton of Russian naval power in the
Far East, were open to possible modi-
fication.
