Fire from q Hot Chimney.
DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE OF J. H. JONES
THURSDAY MORNING.

At few minutes before o'clocl
Thursday morning tho people Of Soutl
Paris were aroused from their slumber'
by the bell on the Methodist church
striking fire alarm for blaze in the
house Of j. 81. Jones on Pleasant Street
The family of Mr.. Jones, the owner
lives down stairs, and j. Mellen Cum
mings occupies rent up stairs.
The chimney In the front part OF the
house had burned out Wednesday after
noon, and got pretty hot, and In conse
quence E. s. Jones was sitting up tc
watch It. He had made bis rounds
several times without discovering any
thing wrong, until about the hour nam.
ed he heard the crsckle of FIRE between
the ceiling and floor above the lower
room.
An alarm was given, and Master Philip
Bolster, from the next house, went to
the Methodist church and banged the
bell vigorously. Then, not realizing the
length of time It takes to get q sleeping
village up in winter morning, he COM
planned to the first person who asked
him where the fire was that "there
wouldn't anybody get up"
But they did get up and respond as
fast as possible, and there were soon
more men out than could have chance
to work. Chief Engineer Bowker wa
confined to the house with severe cold,
and didn't dare to 60 out, but w. A.
Porter, the first assistant, was soon on
the ground and took charge: He at
once sent for what chemical hand ex-
tinguishers could be reached, and three
were quickly forthcoming. The floors
around the chimney, which by that time
were pouring out lots of smoke, were
torn up, and with the use Of few pals
of water and the extinguishers, which
did very good work, the fire was shortly
under control, though It took some time
to get it all out, and the job was a
pretty smoky one.
Damage was done to four rooms of
the house by the fire, by tearing up, and
by smoke. As so little water WAS used,
the chemicals doing most of the work,
the water damage was practically
nothing. All parties are insured.
Nothing was done about removing the
furniture from the house, as the fire did
not look dangerous enough for that.
Early in the game hose was attach
ed to the hydrant at the corner of Pleas
ant Street and Skillings Avenue, near
the house, and was got all ready to nse.
IL was not needed, but the hydrant was
tried to see If it was all right, and was
found to be frozen. Later the hydrants
at the Pleasant Street crossing near the
depot, and at the Gothic Street crossing,
which are the other two nearest to the
fire, were tried and both were found
frozen. The next nearest, in front OF
Samuel Richards lot, was started with .
little hot water. Some salt and hot
water were put into the frozen hydrants,
and in the morning they started without
trouble.
There was nothing at all spectacular
about the fire, and as the temperature
was below zero, most of those who
didn't have special business in the fire
department quickly got back into their
warm beds.
All the hydrants were tested Thurs
day, and two or three were found frozen.
Most of them had q lot OF anchor ice in
them, and were very close to the danger
point.

With the purpose of throwing moro

mittee having the matter in charge will
resume It's inquiry in the enatc chamber
tomorrow morning, and Superintendent

Chairman Byrd has written Mr.. Eggles-

make his engagements accordingly.
Mr.. Byrd and Senator Strobe are ex-
pected in the city to-day, and they will
probably hold a preliminary conference
with their colleague, Mr.. Cox, of this
city. tonight.
All the members of the former State
Board of Education have been examined,
and now Mr.. Eggleston will be put on
as Al expert witness in favor of the al
legged advantages Of the single list. Mr..
Eggleston's testimony will be doubtless
full of interest, as he has made a most
thorough study of tho question.
1t is likely that n number of book
agents will be examined. though unless
something of consuming Is
brought out, it looks as If the inquiry
will come to a speedy close.

LEADS IN
IMPORTANT REFORM
Was First State to Enact Law
Calling Halt on Surety
Companies.

One of the most important happenings
in insurance circles during the past
week was the announcement by the Unit
ed States Treasury and War Departments
that hereafter the government Will ac-
cpet no surety on contract bonds or
cher bonds, where the United States is
interested, for moro than 10 per cent.
OF the combined capital and surplus Of
the company acting as the surety, and
will not accept bonds from companies
which are surety on private parties in
excess of 10 per cent. Of their combined
capital and surplus unless reinsurance of
the excess Is effected in acceptable surety
companies to the departments.
This action of the government officials
Is In line with the legislation enacted
by the last General Assembly of Vir-
ginia. When 1t was discovered that this
clause was in the bill as passed. creating
the Bureau Of Insurance. some OF tho
surety people ~erdeavored to have it We
toed by the Governor on account Of it.
Since then, however, other States nave
followed the leadership OF Virginia and
adopted 1t. Now some OF the surety
companies themselves are advocating Its
adoption by all the States. They realize
that some Of them have been going at
too rapid q pace, and unless something
is done, there will be as big a sh%aking-up
among the surety companies as there has
been in the past year or two in life and
fire insurance circles. 4

Are Operating in Virginia. -

Declare That Publications Rep

quired by Department.

superintendent OF Public instruction
Jos. D. Eggleston. Jr., is considerably ex-
ercised over reports which have come
to him from certain sections of the State
TO the effect that bogus book agents are
operating among school-teachers. and ure
representing themselves as employees of the
department in order to sell their publlca-
tons.
Mr.. Eggleston declares In no uncertain
terms that he will exert all means at his
command to bring the guilty persons to
Justice and to see that they are severely
punished. Indeed, he has instructed the
school examiner having charge of the
section where the alleged crooks are oper-
ating to do his best to run them down.
Tho Superintendent Is not in n position
at this time to make public the section
where teachers are being thus imposed
upon, for fear that it may warn tire al
legged Offenders, and give them IN oppoI-
tunity to escape, but he is going after
them" all right. with the aid of his exam
iners and the law officers.
May Be Others.
The Superintendent has heard that some
thing of a suspicious nature along the
same line Is going on in other sectors,
but has no definite information excent
that which came to him in 4 letter from
one of the dist,il, examiners. 'rhe exam
iner In question states that he las To-
Gated one of the alleged swtndlers, and
that he is working a perfect .hoid-Ip"
game on unsuspeoting teachers.
The plan OF operation is said to be that
the men will represent themselves as State
school examiners, and declaring that
their work has the approval OF the de-
partment. Will proceed to solicit sub
scriptions for some publication which
they declare is ordered to be used by the
teachers in their work.
In some cases 1t is alleged that these
agents, calling themselves examiners.
have taken charge of schools and sent
teachers out to raise the cash payment
on the subscription being solicited. 1t
was the agents policy then to move on
and not remain long IN one place.
II n case could be clearly made out. con-
viction of obtaining none under false
pretenses would be easily accomplished,
and the culprit put behind the bars.
