of G. w. Scoggin at Glover were
completely destroyed by fire short
ly before noon last Saturday. The
fire originated in the roof of the
store which was a two story frame
building, and before the occupants
Of the houseNhad any knowledge
of the conflagration the flames had
gained such Roadway that the
structure was doomed. The post
Office was located in the front part
Of the building and as soon as he
was advised Of the fire Mr.. Scog-
gin directed his daughter to get
out all the mail and post-office
records and he and another man
attempted to get out some of the
stock. The flames were burning
rapidly and about this time COM
municated to a twenty pound can
of black powder in the second
story. The explosion was terrific,
.looseped the floor of the second
story from it's fastenings, and it
fell onto the counters in the store
room below. Mr.. Scoggin and his
helper were penned in the back
part Of the store and made their
escape through a window. They
hurried to the front part of the
building and found the young
lady had been rendered moon
scious by the explosion, was lying
on the floor and the flames had
|ignited some papers she had in her
hands. They hurried her out into
the open-air and fortuna tely her
injuries proved slight. But it was
a narrow escape, indeed, The
store was soon encyclopedia flames
and the fire quickly communicated
to the ware house adjoining, where
was stored considerable flour and
feed, all Of which was lost. Prac-
ii cally nothing was saved from
either building. An insurance u
$1,000 was carried on the buildings
and stock.

THE SECOND WARD MATTER.

II HE Democrats have laid their plans for
their attempt to seize control of the City
Treasurer's Office and TO get two-thirds vote
in City Council They say it is to be a sort of
moral crusade TO purge the politics of the
Fourth District of the Second ward. Unless
they can make public opinion believe that they
are right in throwing out the returns of that
district or in taking any other legal action, the
Democrats will not do SO. For the next few
DAYS we are to be entertained with the efforts
to get the public into frame OF mind that it
will support the Democrats in their course.
sHence the story of the repeaters and all that and
the things that Quinn saw and didn't see. II
is all well prepared and gushes forth to the ex-
tent of columns. The Democrats, according to
reports->are moving as softly as if they were
walking eggs. and were afraid of cracking
some. They want, if they do anything, the ap-
plause of the multitude That is their position
now. What II will be later is conjecture
The question: however is if the crusade is
to be one of political morality why was It not
undertaken before nows There was the same
rumpus and talk during the last national cleo
tion. The vote at the city election was not so
large as II was last November. In fact the reg
istered vote was not polled If there was fraud
it may be asked why did not the Democrats in
vestigate that fraud then and why do they wait
until now? There were then legal methods OF
Furnishing the fraud, Of investigating the regis
tration and Of finding out conditions. Nothing
has developed 10 make it necessary to throw

ONE DROWNED
IN PHILADELPHIA
ACCIDENT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. June i2-With
four picnic parties aboard fire broke out
in the forward cargo and engine room Of
the excursion steamer shearwater in the
Delaware river shortly before noon to-
day and the steamer sank off the Chest
nut street pier.
In the panic which followed the dis
covery Of the flames many Of the excur-
sionists leaped overheard. but so far as
known only one person. an unidentified
woman, was lost All Of the other i5o pas
sengers, among them fifty women. were
rescued by police boats and other craft.
The police boat Ashbridge, the first TO
reach the sinking craft. made fast a
rope and prevented the Shearwater from
sinking for a time.
The burning boat was discovered in the
river by Samuel Shallcross superintendent
OF the lighters department of the Philadel-
phia Steamship Co, who was looking outoi
a window OF the company's office at the
Arch street wharf. Seeing that the boat
was virtually doomed shallcross immedi-
ately notified the captain of the police tug
Ashbridge, which was stationed at the
pier.
In few minutes after the arrival of
the Ashbridge at the side of the burn
ing boat the tug had taken most of the
passengers from the rapidly sinking
Shcarwater.
Among the excursionists were half a
hundred high school girls.
In the panic the girls took charge
of the babies on the boat and helped
10 quiet the women. To their GOODNESS
and freedom from panic was due the
fact that there was no greater loss
/ OF life
The Shearwater was a made over
boat and has been used by the Penn
| sylvania Naval reserves for several
/ years IL was turned over to them
IN 1899 shortly after the close OF the
! Spanish war by the government.
