SoIons Convene.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 15-The spe-
cial session Of the Fennsylvania leg
islature called by Governor Penny
packer to consider reform legislation
assembled today. It is the first yes.
sion to be held In the new state capi-
tol building. The session will con-
slider bills to enable contiguous cities
in the same counties to be united
into one municipality: to increase the
interest paid by banks. trust compan-
les and similar institutions for the
use Of state moneys and to protect de-
posits; to reapportion the state into
senatorial and representative dis
tricts, to provide for the personal re-
gistration Of voters and for the gov
ernment officials OF the first class ana
the proper distribution OF the power
exercised by such municipal officials.
The reapportionment Of the. state IL
the only matter likely to provoke
much discussion.
Almost without exception the mem.
bers favor quick action and an early
adjournment Many Of them favor
three sessions day, Including Satur.
day. SO that the work may be ex-
pedited. The cutting of Of free rail-
road passes prevents nine-tenths Of
the members from returning home
over Sundays as has been the custom
in the past. and as the compensation
is the same for an extra session,
whether the session be long or short,
the inducements are all In favor Of
expediting the work.

JORDAN LARGEST
STORE IN ASHES.
Outside Fire D Departments Helped:
to Check a Blaze in Bust
ness Section.

Jordan, Mimi, Sept. 27.-With the
aid Of fire departments from Belle
Plain and New Prague confagration
which for a time late yesterday after
noon threatened the entire business sec
ton Of this village, was subdued, after
a loss of over $4,000. It was the
worst confagraticn Jordan has ever
had, and had aid not arrived promptly,
the loss would have been much greater.
The fire started in the hardware store
of G. H. Casey, whose store is the larg-
est Of its kind in the state, outside Of
the twin cities.
Mr.. Cassey's loss is between $4,000
and 100000. Insurance will nearly
the entire loss.
The fire started from an explosion in
the basement, which was probably
caused by someone dropping a match
on combustibles stored there. The
basement was soon Quilted, the flames
making quick, Roadway to the first
floor, and having good start there be-
fore it was found that the fremen
could not control the fire. Aid was sent
for at once. The building was far
gone when the departments arrived
from the nearby towns and all atten-
ton was directed to prevent the flames
spreading to other buildings.
Several frame houses were in danger,
flying sparks having started fires in
different parts of the village. The only
residence that could not be saved was
that of Mrs. T, Graham. The loss upon
it was about $1,000, partly covered by
insurance.
Mr.: Casey was badly burned about
the face. The Casey building was a
two-story structure; it is probable ii
will be rebuilt at once. 49,,
