Adolphus Cary's Home Burns.

Fire yesterday afternoon COM
pletely destroyed the beautiful
suburban home of A. E. Cary, well
known citizen and prominent bust
ness man of New Augustine. His
home was located on the Moutrie
road just south of Oyster creek.
The loss will total several thousand
dollars, the property being only
partly covered by insurance. The
flames are supposed to have sprung
from sparks from the chimney
alighting on the roof.
Mr.. Cary was at dinner when the
fire started. There was the usual
CHEEKY blaze in the fireplace of the
home and the family had no suspi-
cion of trouble until their attention
was attracted by the shouts of
neighbors. Mr.. Cary discovered
that the roof was in flames. He
had one chemical fire extinguisher
at hand and did good work with
this but the flames spread too fast,
famed by the wind.
Neighbors also lent their assist
ance but in vain and they then
turned their attention to saving all
of the household effects possible.
! Mr.. Cary carried $1,000 insurance
with Pacetti & Snow on his home
and $3.50 on his furniture. This.
however covers but a small part of
his loss as his home was a large

Court Appoints Referee at Re-
quest of E. Moyse 6Co.

On the application of Edward Moyse &
Co.. Justice Seabury has appointed j.
Hanpden Dougherty referee TO examine
Morris H Rothschild in the injunction pro-
ceeding begun by the Moyse firm against
the New York Cotton Exchange. Moyse
seeks to restrain the exchange from taking
any action In the matter of a complaint
that Rothschild has lodged with the super
visory committee OF the exchange against
the Moyse concern, and to restrain the Off
cials of the exchange from expelling any
member of the Moyse firm from the ex-
change.
The case is an outgrowth of the corney
In cotton last August, when the price was
sent up to 20 cents pound, which was the
record for many years. Several of the al
legged conspirators In this corner have been
indicted by the federal grand jury, among
them being Rothschiid. The Moyse firm
maintains that Rothschnd, by his own ad-
mission, was engaged in a criminal con-
epiracy, and that his complaint against the
firm is an improper one, in that he seeks
to have it punished for failure to perform
What he knows would have been an Illegal
