small grocery store at 729 Sd street south
west which was burned the night OF
May II last, was given preliminary
hearing before Judge Mullowny OF the
Police Court Yesterday on charge OF
arson and held in $500 bonds for the ac-
tion of the grand jury.
The chief witnesses against the defend
ant were Fire Marshal P. W. Nicholson
and two colored neighbors. Mr.. Nichol-
son told the court the fire was caused by
case oil which had been sprinkled over
the floor and walls. The other two wit
nesses testified to seeing the defendant
leaving his place several minutes before
the fire was discovered and walking hur-
riedly away from the scene. 1t was fnti-
mated by the defense that an enemy OF
Jennings had set the store on fire for
revenge, and efforts were made to have
testimony to this effect introduced with
a view of preventing the case from go
ing to the grand jury.
The arrest of Jennings came a. a result
of an extended investigation on the part
Of the fire marshal. assisted by Detective
Kleindinst of the central Office. The mo-
tive for setting the store on fire, accord
ing to the prosecution. was to collect
three-hundred-dollar fire insurance policy.

these roads have had the subject under
consideration for years; but the differ
ence in the kind of machinery required
for a lighting plant from that used by
the roads had prevented action 1t was
pointed out that gas could be made at
~ cents a thousand feet, and electric
power for lighting q six-tenthS to one

prise, it was stated.

side to furnish lighting and power
current were brought to notice, and 1t
was stated that unless the meeting
took prompt action these proposals
would be accepted.
No new poles or right of way would
be needed at once, it was stated, as the
