gotten under control.
AS it was. fire bands started num-
Der of small blazes in various parts Of
the city and only the presence Of snow
on the roofs saved the city. At one
time the Union Mutual Block. valued
at half a million dollars. was ablaze,
but the flames were quickly checked.
All Of the city records were saved, but
the records of Cumberland county, dat
ing back a hundred years, together
with valuable paintings owned by tho
city, and estimated to have a value Of
more than a hundred thousand dollars.
The insurance carried on the City Hall
is not over $4,000.
The fire was wonderfully picturesque
owing to the fact that despite intense
heat ice formed over the ruins. Shortly
after four o'clock this morning the
great gilt dome of the building fell
with a crash. sending a myriad Of
sparks and fire brands hundreds Of feet

homesick because the familiar snowy
whiteness had faded from their lives. But
when Smith took them out yesterday af.
ternoon and hitched them to his sledge to
start for Philadelphia the dogs took on
new life. They disported about for awhile
and then started out Market street.
When the tollgate was reached Smith
stopped to remove the wheels from the
sledge which can be used as carriage
when there is no snow on the ground.
He removed the wheels so as to use his
odd conveyance as a sled on his way to
the Quaker City. He had some trouble

They rolled about in the road and played
like kittens and It was ten minutes before
Smith could get them traoaable enough

tirely ignorant Of the fact that there
even was a package for Judge Coch-
ran in the office.
Judge Cochran replied that to his
mind the corporation could only be
reached through its agent, and he con-
sidered more than twenty-four hours,
the time he had to wait between the
first attempt to deliver the package
was made, and the time the delivery
was actually made. unreasonable.

tion to the fact that the express con-
pany was, as a matter Of fact not

Court Charges CART
Judge Cochran said: That's the
trouble; they don't have 10 do any
thing. The Adams Express Company
he continued, 'makes exorbitane
charges and does nothing but graft off
the people"
Mr. Biggs. warming up at this re-
mark, reminded the court that he was
there to defend Morris I'm the case at
trial. and not to be lectured for any
thing the Adams Express Company
did.
He again made the contention that
his client was not guilty OF the charge
OF disorderly conduct. and that no such
charge had boon proved against him.
but the court replied that the defend
ant was there as the agent Of the COM
pany, and he Intended TO make an ex-
ample OF him.
"Every humble citizen has his
rights I'm this court" said Judge Coch-
ran. "and I wish they would come here
with any charge against the Adams
Express Company. The only way the
company could be reached was civil
action. and in many cases the packages

cost of bringing such action would

Mr.. Biggs asked the court that II
the law didn't provide that the charge
OF breach OF peace provided that only

ant be held held under such a charge
The courts only reply was that II was

In his own defense Morris testified
that Judge Cochran called him a liar,

~ THH JouRNAL,s gpecIal wIre.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Chief OF Police
Shippsy today issued orders to COM
manding officers Of divisional head
quarters TO strengthen reserves through
out the city. Yesterdays demonstration
of civic unrest despite the elaborate
operations of the police to prevent the
parade Of unemployed was a revela-
ton to the authorities Of the presence
in Chicago of a considerable element
which may be stimulated into activity
full Of deeds Of violence. A platoon
of 200 police tried yesterday to dis
perse the marchers, but the men went
on with a dog6ed, sullen stare and The
apparent defiance Of the crowds to
the charge of the mounted police are
pondered seriously by the authorities.
Chief Shippey's instructions to cap
tains are to keep their men in readi-
ness for an instant call. He made a
personal inspection of stations where
rifle stands are kept and extra rounds
of ammunition were issued. Chief Null
lane has ordered the fremen to be
ready to aid the mayor with streams
OF ice cold water in case of riot.
DR. Ben Reitman was arraigned in
police court this morning on a charge
Of disorderly conduct From this time
forward the police will enforce the vag-
rancy laws and drive suspicious and
undesirable characters from the city.
The threat of the Socialists to hold a
demonstration on the lake front on
Washiugton's birthday has focused po-
lice attention on the leaders. It is not
believed, however, lin the face Of the
police suppression of the parade yester-
day that any further efforts will be
made. Probably $50 persons were club
bed by the police in yesterdays riot,
but none was seriously injured

MAY WE'D DESPITE
PARENTAL ADVICE

Although no public confirmation has
been given to the statement, Baltimore
society seems fairly convinced that the
the Governors 20-year-old daughter, TO
William Harris. Of Binghampton. n.
Y. is an actual fact.
Mr.. Harris has been paying attention
to Miss Warfeld for over a year. He
is a graduate of Yale. an athlete aud
great social favorite.
Governor Warfield a few years ago
created much interest by his address
10 the graduating class of the Will
mington High School. in which he said.
"If you should ask the age when a
young woman should marry I should
say &c. That was the age of Mrs.
WarfieId when married her. Young
people are impressionable and roman
tic, and many hasty marriages have
resulted in unhappiness, discomfort and
lives of drudgery. Marry in haste and
repent at leisure proves too often
true"
And suppose those young daughters
of yours looked at the matter from a
different standpoint when they leave
school?" he was asked.
Il have warned them not to expect
my consent to their marriage too young
of thinking"
Now it apears that one of the Gov
ernor's daughters is 20 look at the
marital question In a manner different
from the view of her dignihed father.

Arrested on complaint Of Judge Ed
win r. Cochran yesterday afternoon,
Clarence H. Norris manager for the
Adams Express Company, in this city,
was arraigned in the city Court to-
day, first on the charge of larceny, then
for disordorly conduct. which charge
substituted the first and finally he was
also accused of breach OF peace.
Judge Cochran dismissed the charge
OF larceny as bailee when disorderly
conduct was substituted. and then
fined the defendant $40 and costs for
this offense, and In addition held Nor
ris in $1,000 bond to keep the peace.
In imposing sentence, the court re-
marked that it proposed to make an
example Of the defendant.
Judge Made Complaint
When Morris was called for triad
and the larceny as bailee charge
changed 10 that Of disorderly conduct,
Judge Cochran said: Il brought this
charge and made the complaint myself.
7 had a package which was being held
by the Adams Express Company after
/ repeatedly telephoned yesterday 10
have It sent TO me- The package was
first brought to my house on Wednes-
day morning, but there was no one at
home except the house maid, and she
had no change with which 10 pay the
|expressage, and the package was taken
away. Yesterday A.orning / telephoned
TO the company's Office 10 send the
package to me az once, as / needed It,
but / didn't get much satisfaction. At
II o'clock / went to the company's
office In Market street, seeking the
package, and at 100 o'clock yesterday
afternoon It hadn't been delivered.
then called up the oompany's Office at
the Pennsylvania railroad station and
talked roughly. I admit, but 1 would
do It again / got as little satisfaction
rs / did before. and then had the de-
fendant arrested. The law gives me
wide scope as to what constitutes dis
orderly conduct. and / consider the
holding Of this package, as long as II
was held. considering the fact that
wanted Il and Il contained perishablC
goods, an act OF disorderly conduct"
Judge Rebuked the Clerk
John Biggs represented the defend
ant, and the first witness called for thu
defense was Charles Ent, clerk In thi
employ OF the Adams Express Com
lpany at the railroad station. He tes
titled that It was he who answered th
telephone when Judge Cochran calie'
up yesterday afternoon. The witness
testified that the judge said 70 him
Il want that package here -- quick
I You think you are --- smart just be-
cause you work for the Adams Express
Company"
To this the witness said he replied;
"Well, II you want to talk that way
you can do II to yourself" and he
then hung up the receiver.
The next witness was Charles Ster'
rett. an expressman. His evidence had
little bearing on the case, however, and
little Importance was attached TO II.
No Case Proved, Said Biggs
At this stage OF the proceedings Mr.
lBiggs said that he could not see where
any disorderly conduct had been showI
on the part OF his client and he wal

able should be the one who tried t'
deliver the package. He admitted tha
