Republican Committees New Chairman.
Baltimore Neps.


TON" Parran, the new chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee, is about
as big man in Calvert county as is his friend
and compatriot Sydney Mudd in Charles. The
two have been playing politics together for years
with a perfect understanding of each other
and an understanding of conditions fancy
no one will have the temerity to challenge the
statement that they are two of the shrewdest
politicians in the State Mudds success in
Southern Maryland has depended partially
upon the aid and cooperation of Parran, and
the latter's seat on the band wagon has been
secured through the support and friendship of
the Congressman. Like nearly every man
who has succeeded in politics, tom" Parran
possesses certain sort of magnetism that has
attracted his adherents to him. He has
pleasant manner and the ability to extend the
''glad hand" with the best of 'em. For some
time he has been spoken of as the successor in
Congress to Mr.. Mudd, should that gentleman
secure even higher honors of public nature.
Both Messrs. Mudd and Parran have firm
grip on the votes of the colored brother in their
respective bailiwicks, and "Marse Tom is a
no less important parsonage in his domain
than is "Marse Sydney in his little princi-
palitV.

Farm House Burned-Family Has Mar.
row Escape The house on the farm Of Mr..
William P. Bird. on Keyser avenue. 4th dis
trict, was destroyed by fire about O'Clock on
Sunday morning last. The five occupants of
the house-Mr. Jordan Bird, brother of the
owner of the property, and his wife and three
small children-had a narrow escape from
death in the flames. They probably owe their
lives to the fact that Albert Short, colored
resident of the neighborhood, happened to be
passing when he noticed smoke issuing from
window. Two watch dogs kept on the place
prevented his approach. and he was obliged to
resort to the throwing of stones at the house
in order to awaken the occupants. In this
effort he was successful, Mr.. Bird being
aroused by the sound of the breaking of win
dow glass.
The fire originated in the kitchen and is sup
posed to have been caused by an overheated
stove, and had gained considerable Roadway
before discovered. 1t was rapidly making its
way to the upper part of the house at the time
Mr.. Bird awakened the members of his family,
who, fortunately, were all sleeping in one
room, large apartment on the first floor adj
joining the kitchen.
Clad only in their night clothing and few
wraps which they were able to grab up, the
| father, wife and children rushed out the front
| door. The smoke at this time had filled the
! house and was sitting.
| As it was none of the contents of the house
was saved The total loss is estimated by Mr.
William P. Bird to be about $4,000. The in
surance carried ON house and furniture
amounts to about $4,000.
