NEW MARTINSVILLE,.W w. VA, Feb
ruary 9.-Fire broke out in Littleton, an
oil town near here. to-day, and before
1t could be extinguished nearly every
business house was destroyed: about 500
of the 1900 inhabitants We're without
homes, and financial loss of more than
500. 900 was sustained.
The fire broke out about noon In the
nttick of the w. NJ Crow grocery, in
the center of the town. In less than
thirty minutes from the time the alarm
of fire was rung the building was a mass
of flames. Inside of twenty minutes the
entire business block along the Baltimore
and Ohio tracks was blazing. In 1t was
the Bank of Littleton, the opera house.
the Commercial Hotel, and several smaller
stores and residences. From this block
the flames swept across the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad tracks to the Exchange
Bank and the Delbrugge Hotel. Flames
spread from house to house with great
rapidly.
a small army of men and boys fought
the flames, but they were unable to stop
the spread of the fire. Assistance was
sent from Wheeling, and also from Cam
eron w. Va Dynamite was resorted to.
but the high wind blowing carried the
flames across streets and over tracks,
licking up the frame dwellings In it's
path. One hundred houses We're burned
and one hundred and fifty families are
homeless, numbering between six hun
dred and eight hundred. Not fifty houses
are left standing.

Mr. H. r. Pollard, Jr.. sub-chairman

then 1t the old ordinance meet the emer-
gency. He spoke earnestly in favor OF
such action.
Messrs. Lynch and Gates did not agree
with the Mayor In any of his conten-
tons and were ready to pass the bill
over the veto on general principles. 1t
was on Mr.. Lynch's motion originally
that the section pertaining to shows was
stricken from the ordinance as proposed
by the Finance Committee.
Mr.. Morton agreed with the Mayor In
the main, but he did not want to see
the wheels of the city government
blocked, and was inclined to think the
action suggested by Mr.. Pollock was
proper under the circumstances. how
ever, If the sub-chairman Of the Finance
Committee could satisfy him that that
committee could yet prepare tax or
dinance, get it passed and have 1t In
working order soon enough to prevent
confusion In the city's tax-gather!ng he
would vote to sustain the Mayor.
Mr. Pollock pointed out the danger of

SAVANNAH, GA. February s.-Major
Cassius E. Gillette, was the chisf witness
in the trial of Greene and Gaynor, in the
Federal court to-day. His testimony re-
lated largely to the work done by the de-
PENDANTS on the government contract for
the Improvement of rivers and harbors of

Carter. in charge of the Savannah Dis
trict, and unearthed the alleged frauds
that resulted in the courtmartial NJ q IN.

trial of Greene and Gaynor as co-conspira-
tors His testimony was that of an eX-
pert In jetty work and dredging He de-
scribed in detail the construction of mat
tresses and facings, and then touched
upon the most important features of the
days disclosures, namely, the vast diff
ference in Greene and Gaynors favor in
prices paid for jetty work under Car
ter's administration and those paid other
contractors under Major Gillette's admin
istration.
There were but two other witnesses and
their testimony was soon concluded.

Major Gillette said that in an examina-
ton of the work done by the defendants
at Cumberland Sound. he saw no facing
