WHY THESE ORPHANS SUFFER.
The Bell Green Oipllanage Was Fired
by Child of Weak Mind.
Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer)
Asheville, n. c., Jan. 27.-In a let
ter received by ]. p. Howee, of this
city, from Miss Bell Whalon, of the
Bell Green Orphanage, the institution
at Black Mountain that was burned
last week, the cause of the fire is
given, it was stated in the letter, that
a child of weak intellect set fire to the
building in order to avert study. The
child had been told by some one that
if she burned the structure she would
have no more studying to do. She ap-
piled the match and as a result IS
orphans of the institution are now be-
ing miserably sheltered in an old
storehouse at Montreal.
The problem of caring for the chill
dren is giving those in and connected
with the Bell Green Orphanage no lit
tie concern. Mr.. Howatt says that if
the children were a. from this county
they could be cared for at the Chill
dren's Home. But the majority of the
inmates of the burned orphanage are
from other counties and are now
actually in need of the necessities of
life.

Wilbur Massicotts Caught Stealing .

The disappearance of thirty boxes of cigars from Maurice McCarthy's saloon on South Main street during the past two months without aay re turn from them, put the proprietor and the help on the lookout. Last evening they were rewarded for their vigilance when MT Hurley, the bar tender, detected Wilbur Massicotte. formerly a special policeman, remove one box of ten cent cigars from a show case. The police were communi- cated with and Detective Kennaugh arrested Massicotte at the Arlington, and the box of cigars was recovered in saloon where he had left them. This morning in the city court Massi- cotte admitted taking the cigars but said he did it'while under the influ- ence of drink and had he been sober he would not have taken them. He was fined $7 and costs. After court an attempt was made to fasten the disappearance of the other cigars on him but he emphatically denied being the thief. He went to jail.

MOVING BUILDINGS
Owners Must Pay $2s Per Day Afses
 Time Limit.

The board of public works met yes- terday afternoon and adopted the plan or former boards with reference to permission to move buildings from one place to another along the public streets. The board started in by re- voking the license issued to l.. K. Car ter to remove building from Cooke street to Pearl street, either as whole or in sections, and granted him new permit conditioned on a bond of $500 to save the city harmless from any damage that might occur while the building is on the street, and In case 1t should remain on the street over five days he shall pay to the city the sum of $25 per diem for each day 1t is on the street beyond the time mentioned in the permit Such li- censes or permits have always been issued in this way, but probably ow. ing to all oversight no penalty was fixed when the first permit was issued to MT Carter. This is an important matter and should not be disposed of arbitrarily. Quite frequently people get hold of homes in this way who never would have roofs over their heads If they had to build them, and if this can be done and nobody suf- fers any great inconvenience, the practice should be encouraged rather than frowned upon. To be sure once in a while man of means takes ad- vantage of such opportunities to turn an honest dollar, but even so he has right to, and the only thing the officials can do is hold all down to a time limit and smart per diem for felt when they exceed it. Waterbury want good building mover and if the city had man here who could hustle a house from one place to another in week or so, he would mack fortune at the business.
