MILLION DOLLAR MUNICIPAL
BUILDING Is TOTALLY
DESTROYED.
Many LIVES IN DANGER
Valuable Public Documents and
Records Dating Back More
Than "a Century COnsum-
ed by the Flames.

Portland, Me. Jan. 25.--Port-
lands city hall, containing the mu-
nicipal and county offices, depart
ments and the police building in
which is located the supreme, judi
cial and municipal courts, was COM
pletely ruined by fire early yester-
day, which endangered many lives
and destroyed valuable records, dat
ins back over a century. The loss is
estimated at $1,000,000.
The fire was the worst in the state
since the great Portland confagra
ton of 1866, when the citys busi-
ness and residence sections were al
most completely wiped out. That
there was not fatality is remark
able. as there were more than 700
persons attending the Western
Maine, knights of Pythias jubilee
gathered in the auditorium of the
city hall, when the flames We're dis
covered. Only few persons were
hurt, Chief Engineer Melville Aid
ridge being the only one known to
be seriously injured. The financial
loss is estimated at 81 900, 1000, but
this sum will not cover the loss of
papers and documents in the regis
try of deeds, where everything was
destroyed. Other city departments
were swept clear of everything by
the flames, with the exception of the
city clerks and city treasurer's Of
fees, the money and securities of the
! latter being believed to be intact.
One of the most valuable libraries in
the state, the Greenlief collection,
was completely destroyed.
When the flames were discovered
William A. Turner, chairman of the
meeting of the Pythian body, was
found in hallway by three men
ton of affairs. Cody he entered the
auditorium and ascended the stage,
interrupting the rites of vesture
which were going on at the time. He
! calmly told the assembled members
of existing condition and averted a
panic by bringing out more than
700 persons uninjured. Earlier in
the evening there had been more
! than 800 persons in the auditor
! ium for the jubilee, and had the fire
occurred then, packed as it was,
many lives might have been lost.

promises to be one of the most hot
ly contested events of the season.
Regimental teams of New York,

TIONS GIVES TESTIMONY
ON FREIGHT RATES.
Low RATES TO SOUTH
Tennessee and Alabama Points Sc
cured Rate of Cents When
Official Schedule Was
Eleven Cents.

Washington, Jan 25.-1n laying
the foundation of it's case against
the Standard Oil company in the
suit for annulment of the company's S
charter, the government continued
yesterday the examination of E. T..
Durant, deputy commissioner of
corporations, before the examiner,
Judge Frank Ferris. Mr. Durant has
presented in his testimony the va
rious freight tariffs filed with the
interstate commerce commission re-
lating to the rates paid by the
Standard Oil company for the trans
portation of oil from Whiting, Ind,
to Evansville, Ind, and East st.
Louis, Illinois.
The tariffs, termed official show
ed that the rates on oil were gener-
ally II cents per 100 pounds. The
contention of the government coun-
sci, Frank B. kellogg, was that the
railroad gave the oil company re-
bate, or a special rate. which made
the rate PAID by the Standard Oil
company not more than IA cents
per 100 pounds, and in some instan-
ces not more than cents per 100
pounds
Mr.. Durant explained that the col

Property Owners on Principal
Streets Preparing to Make
improvements

Arlington Texas, Jan. 25.-The
coming of spring will see much ac-
tivity among property owners in Ar
lington in the way of improving
their residence and business prop
erty. Concrete sidewalks and avn
ings for the business districts and
shade trees and concrete sidewalks
for the residence districts now in
contemplation. will start with the
opening of the spring season.
Practically all the property own
ers on Center street have agreed to
make these improvements, and when
once the work is started it is
thought that it will be followed by
others. In addition, there will be
many owners of brick business
houses who will make improve
ments by putting in steel fronts and
plate glass windows.

lection vouchers of the railroad
which he exhibited, showed that the
amount actually paid by the Stand
ard Oil company for such shipments
as he referred to was less than the
rate fixed in the official tariffs filed
with the commission.
Mr.. Durant testified that Bkle-
ridge, Columbus, Humboldt Spring
field and Mckenzie, in Tennessee,
and Eufaula, in Alabama, took the
rate of 6 cents per 100 pounds on
oil from Whiting, Ind, although the
regular tariff rate was II cents. In
the course of Mr.. Durant's testimo-
ny he presented some of the docu-
ments of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois railroad which bore mem
orandums in red ink.
