The Board of Revenue of MontSom- cry county spent the larger part of its regular meeting yesterday morning in a discussion of the question of se- curing gravel for the country roads.

The railroad company yesterday. in communlca,
 tion, made proposition to the noaru
 to huild the track providing the coun"
 ty does the grading.
 In addition to the purchase of a gray el pit. the board Is also considering il 1t would not be cheaper to the county
 to contract for all its gravel with onf concern or person and thereby get lower rate.
 The board has had these matters be- fore it for practically four years, bu' as vet 1t has not been definitely dis posed of However, since the county recently made a settlement with th' Fidelity and Deposit Company o Marvland for about $10O.0OO, the boart is becoming active in its efforts t' improve and gravel the public roads There is a sentiment among the mem bers that the money realized by tn' compronise of the county's suit should not be allowed to remain idlo an! | longer than Is necessary. | With President M.

FIRE LOSS $6,8OO
TOOLE.s COURT STREET BAKERY
 WAS; DESTROYED.
Flames in Two-story Brick Building at Early Morning Hour--Owner
 Protected by Insur-

Fire which was discovered at 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning practically destroyed the bakery of James Toole. in the two-story brick building at the corner of North Court Street and Mad ison Avenue and gave the firemen a hard fight for fifteen or twenty min utes. The loss is estimated at s6,s00. covered by insurance.
 The blaze originated in the rear of the two-story brick building on the ground floor and quickly developed in- to large proportions. It is believed that an electric wire. in defective condition through the influence of tho storm which was in progress at the time of the fire, was the cause of the fire as the baking machinery is of modern type and is operated by steam.
 In speaking of the fire. Mir. Toole said that he could not explain its ori- gin, except that 1t must have been started by an electric wire as there had been no fire in the building since Satur- day. The building was thoroughly gut
 ted, by fire, smoke and water, and the machinery was damaged to a consider able extent as was the large stock of
 goods stored in the building. MT. Toole estimated the loss roughly at $6,s0o, although he said that he could not tell at the present time just how much damage was done.
 He carried S2.300 insurance on the machinery and $4,100 insurance on the stock. He believed that the loss was covered by insurance.
 The building is owned by the Toole estate and with the building adjoining | on the north is insured for $4,4oo, A soon as possible the bakery plant will be rebuilt
 Owing to the handicap the fire had secured on the firemen by it's rapic | growth, the firemen were commended for saving a portion of the burning I building and adjoining property.

New York Special to Chicago Tribune.

 Another source of sorrow to the Sem atar was the decision said to have been arrived at by the Montauk Club or Rrooklyn. not to give him birthday dinner this year.

To let him down easy. it is said the Senator received an intimation that refusal of dinner in his honor should be sent by him this year.

It is properly termed comedy romance, but Is entirely unlike any other as It's tone Is less violent and it's humor far more spontaneous.
