IN DANGEROUS PLACE.
Was Fire in Burlington Yesterday Af-
teTnoon.

Burlington, July 17.--An alarm was
rung in from box 25 yesterday after
noon at 2:3o o'clock for fire in barn
ID tho rear Of J, A. Williams residence
al 81 North Union street. The barn,
which was gutted by fire, was owned
and occupied by Mr. Williams.
The fire was particularly dangerous
one because of its location. Houses on
Union street, Grant street and Iafay-
cite place completely surrounded the
structure and if the blaze gained head
way they would have been in imminent
danger of burning as strong wind was
blowing. The fire boys. however, under
the direction of Assistant Chief En-
gineer Stockwell, got the blaze quickly
under control, when the residents there.
abouts felt relieved.
The FIRE originated in some hay on
the top floor of the barn. Some hens,
which were on the ground floor, were
saved as was also some other property.

Because the Water Ran Down
From Second Story
AFTER CLEANSING WINDOW
Downstairs Woman Objected and That
Led TO Trouble Which Was Aired
in City Court To-dsy-It Was
women's Day.

Because some water "a rare thing
these days) ran down onto her piazza
while Mrs. Jennie Cavana was washing
windows of her tenement at the corner
OF North Main and Second streets last
Monday, Mrs. Wood, who ives in the
lower tenement, took Mrs. Cayana to
account for it, and as an outgrowth of
their interchange of words, Mrs. Cayana
received a cut on her hand that called
for the services OF doctor to dress,
caused she said, by Mrs. Wood striking
her with piece OF charwood, and Mrs.
Cavana retaliated by throwing stone
that went through window in Mrs.
Woods tenement.
Mrs. Cavana was arrested yesterday
afternoon ON a warrant charging her
with malicious mischief in breaking the
window. She Appeared in court this
morning with her attorney, A. A. Sar.
gent, who in stating his side of the
case to the court, said that he was the
owner of the tenement where the trout
bic took place, aad was thereby an in.
jured party in the case by the loss of
window.
The attorney said that Mrs. Cavana
had done nothing further than answer
back to Mrs. Wood, and had starteI
to go back upstairs to her tenement
when Mrs. Wood struck her with
stick, injuring her so that she was uu-
able to pick up stone in the wounded
hand. which fact, he remarked, probably
was lucky for the rest of his windows.
Mrs. Cavana had been tenant in the
house for three years, he said, and had
never had any trouble before, and he
asked that small fine be imposed on
her plea OF guilty. The grand juror
stated that he thought a small fine
would be sufficient lesson to her, as
she was in poor circumstances. Mrs.
Cavana then pleaded guilty and paid
fine OF 81 with costs Of S5.l5.
Mrs. Albina Piecioli was arraigned in
court this morning on warrant eharg
ing her with keeping an unlicensed dog.
She was questioned by Grand Juror
Davis and it then came out that she
had not been the keeper of the dog for
three years, but that it had been kept
BY different people, who had used it for
hunting. The dog, she said, had for
nerly belonged to her husband, wha
lied three years ago. and since that
,ime she had had nothing to do with it.
Constable NJ. B. Nichols got track of
he dog at house on Second street, and
IS it had not been licensed he hunted
Iround for an owner.
After hearing Mrs. Picioli's story,
;rand Juror Davis decided that the dog
vas tramp and mol pressed the case
gainst the woman. Constable Nichols

HEARST LAYS INTO
DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Says That the Party Is Decadent and
UnreSehep~te, Also Ddscredited, and
Doesn't Think 1t Would Be Worth
While to Support 1t.

New York, July IA oablegram has
been received from William X. Hearst,
in reply TO u message transmitted to
Mr.. Hearst from Samuel Gompers,
stating that in view Of the Democrats
stand for labor, IL would be IAN act Of
greatest patriotism for the Independence
party TO endorse the Democratic plat
form" and urging him not to run a
third ticket, as IL would elect Mr.. Taft.
Alr. Hearst's eablegram follows;
Paris, july lS.
"Tell MIR. Gompers that am not au-
thorized to speak for the membership OF
the independence League, but according
to my personal standards, purer pat
riotism consists in laboring TO establish
q new party which will be consistently
devoted TO the interests of the citizen
ship and particularly to the advantage
and advancement OF the producing
classes. | do not think the path of pat.
riotism lies in supporting discredited
and decadent old party, which has neith-
er conscientious conviction nor. honest
intention, or in endorsing chameleon
candidates who change tie color OF their
political opinion with every varying hue
of opportunism.
II do not think the best benefit OF
laboring men lies in supporting that old
party because OF a sop of false promise
when the performance of that party
while in power did more to injure labor
than all the iniunctions ever issued, be-
fore or since. have lost faith in the
empty professions of an unregenerate
Democracy, have lost confidence in
the ability, in the sincerity, and even in
the integrity of its leader do not
consider it patriotism to pretend to sup
port that which, as a citizen. | distrust
and detest and | earnestly hope the In,
dependence League will give me an op.
portunity to vote for candidates that
are both able and honest and for dec.
laration OF principle that is both sound
and sincere"

to fall this afternoon at l:30 o'clock,

not cease falling for some time. 1t was
the first rainfall OF consequence in many
weeks, and the parched ground licked
up the moisture as fast as it fell. Moth
ing but hard rainfall can break the
drouth which has been upon this sec
tion for a month.
The city water supply is getting at

system OF electric power were obliged to
shut down to-day, because of lack of
