Big Salisbury Fire.

Fire destroyed the drug store of K.
X. Truitt & Sons. in the centre of the
business section of Salisbury. and for a
time the destruction of much more
property was threatened.
The fire started from the explosion of
an alcohol lamp. and spread rapidly
Next to the Truitt Building is the home
of the Wicomico News, owned by Brew
ington Brothers. and hard work on the
part of the iiremen was all that saved
it. The explosion of alcohol and other
liquids made the fire dangerous to com
bat, but no one was hurt. The loss on
the Truitt Building and stock was about
SD. 600. and the insurance was about
SIS. 900.

COURSE OF TEMBLOR
SHOWN ON FLOOR
WEIGHTED TABLE MOVED ABOUT
BY QUAKE LEAVES IMPRINT ON
SOFT SURFACE.

SAN FRANCISCO, May by mere
chance the great tremblor that caused
so much havoc IN San Francisco i'm the
morning of April IS, registered its vi
brations at the home of George Os
bourne, the comedian of the Alcazar
Theater. On the wax parquette floor
ing of his drawing room at 1879 Clay
street, the exact movements of the
shock were cut by a table that was
heavily weighted. On the table was
Carrara marble group of Love ana
Psyche by Canova, weighing more than
300 pounds and throughout the disturb
ance the group remained unmoved
from it's position on the table.
Measured by a straight line the ia
BILE moved in a southwesterly direction
twenty-three inches The actual cir
cumlinear measurement, including all
jumps and turns, measures seventy
seven inches. The record of zigzags is
clearly delineated on the waxed floor
and the force of the vibrations is
shown by light and heavy markings.
Beginning with light zigzag lines the
temblors force increased as shown by
the deeper indentahuns, accompanied
by a twisting motion, the record show
ing a semicircle with one loop and
measuring in length forty-five inches.
The quake record then took jump Of
one inch, landing heavily and indent-
ing the floor, and was followed by nine
successive jumps, the first five being
one inch apart, the next one and a
quarter of an inch further away and
the last three one-eighth of an inch
apart. The jumps follow one another
in an almost perfect circle, which
measures seven inches in length
The Jumps then ceaeed, while the ia
BILE continued on it's erratic course. For
fifteen inches the twisting motion con-
tinued and included three more loops.
Then for the remaining ten inches the
peculiar zigzag lines shown at the be-
ginning of the record continue to the
present resting place of the table,
which has not been moved since the
earthquake. All Subsequent quakes
have failed to move the table from it's
position. The general course of the
record is from northeast to southwest.
Army officers and scientists who have
visited Osbourne's house declare the
seismic record perfect, with the excep-
ton of the measurement Of the shock $
dura ton.

PLANS To ENTERTAIN
CALIFORNIA EDITORS
COMMITTEE MET YESTERDAY AT
TERNOON TO ARRANGE FOR EN-
TERTAING THE ASSOCIATION.

Sometime this fall the Editorial AS
ISOLATION of Southern California will
visit Hawaii. That they might be en-
tertained while here i'm a suitable man
ner the Promotion Committee called a
meeting of the editors of the town to
prepare for a reception.
A. Gartley presided and others in at
tendance were Secretary II. z. Wood,
Il. /. Spalding, Fred c. Smith, L. A.
Johnson, Fred L. Waldron, w. r.
Harrington of the Bulletin, Walter G..
Smith of the Advertiser and w. NJ.
Langton of the Paradise. Charles l..
Rhodes of The Star was prevented from
attending by another engagement.
The Hawaiian hotels have all offered
special rates and the o. r. & L. Com
pany has placed special train
at the disposal of the committee to be
used i'm taking the editors to view the
country. A luau is another thing that
was definitely settled by the commit
tee. This will either be held in the
grounds of the residence of Delegate
Kuhios place i'm Waikiki or i'm the old
fish market if the weather be rainy,
A number of important details have
not been settled such as the trip to
the volcano. This trip will be taken if
the editors are here long enough and
if low rate can be obtained. A
trip to the volcano would do much in
the minds of the men of the Promotion
Committee to dispel any doubts the
editors may have about the safety of
the islaids.
1t is not known exactly when the edi-
tors are coming but it is thought that
it will be i'm November sometime
An effort will be made to have Mrs.
Weatherred come when the editors do
She was the chaperone of the oregon
party. She could act much in the
capacity of a guide.
The party will be loaded up with
literature at San Francisco which they
will read on the way down. In this
way they will have fair idea of what
they are coming to. If Mrs. Weather
red is i'm the party she will do much to
tell them about the place they are near
ing
The committee is to draw up a pro-
gram for a ten days stayover and will
meet again next Tuesday afternoon.

SUGAR DIVIDENDS

SAN FRANCISCO, May lin ac-
cordance with announcement some days
ago the Hawaiian Commercial and Su-
gar Plantation and the Paauhau Sugar
Company paid their usual monthly
dividends yesterday, the amount dis
bursed aggregating $92, 500. The shares
being quite widely distributed, the pre-
paration of the dividend roll and filling
out the checks was a work of consid-
cradle exent, occupying the entire
night, but when the offices at 1923 Cal
ifornia street opened yesterday every
thing was in readiness. The checks
were handed to shareholders, and as
the banks were closed the officers of
the companies were well supplied with
coin to cash the checks. Many awaited
themselves of the offer, and as ready
money is generally needed at this time
the payments were very acceptable
The next company to pay a dividend
will be the Makaweli, which will dis
burse about $4,000 on the 18th inst.
This will make $110,5OO paid out in Su-
gar dividends for the month. The adj
vices from the islands concerning crop
prospects are so favorable that these
dividends will doubtless be continued
for months.
The Kilauea Sugar Company has re-
scinded the assessments of 50 per share
levied several weeks ago. partly be
cause of inability of many stockholders
to meet it just now, and partly because
of improved crop conditions i'm the ISL
ands.

CANNOT EXCEED FUNDS.
Receipts of Sealer's Office Must Meet
Expenses.

Because the law governing the conduct
of the office of the sealer of weights and
measures specifies that the expenses of
that department of the District shall be
covered by Its receipts, w. C. Haskell, the
District sealer, has found 1t impracticable
to recommend increases of salaries for any
of his corps of assistants. Col. Haskelrs es-
innate of the expenses which he considers
necessary for the operation of his depart
ment during the fiscal year to end June 80,
1908. were submitted to the Commissioners
today. In the letter accompanying the seal
er not only spoke of the impossibiity of
recommending increases in salaries for his
subordinates, but declared that all of them
are deserving of more compensation in view
of their experience and the greatly increas-
ed demands upon the office.
Altogether Sealer Haskell's estimates for
the ensuing year call for an appropriation
of S14.240. The appropriation under which
the office Is working this year totals $13, $40
The only increases asked for next year are
included in requests for more liberal al
lowances for the employment of labor about
the different market houses and for a
larger allowance for hauling refuse from
the Wholesale produce market
