FIFTH WARD.
JAILED.

A young gentleman representing
himself as belonging to one of the old
and best families of the eastern shore
of Maryland struck the town last Sun
day and stopped at the Berkeley hotel.
He at once found company among the
high rollers and he threw his mon ey
about with profligate hand. He soon
had case on some of the ladies and
gave some of them winesuppers, thea
tire parties and two or three tmies aday
was seen taking some Of the fair sex to
the Royal Cafe for luncheon, dinner,
etc. Ue managed to keep pretty drunk
all the time AID sowed his money and
in the end reaped the inevitable,
bountiful crop os sorrow ana disgrace.
He tried to recoup by getting out an
advertising card for on the CHAMBER
doors of the hotel and did good busi-
ness but his dissipation continued un-
til about all of that vas gone and then
he tried to slip out of town without
paying his hotel bill aud the bill at
this flee for the printing of the hotel
cards but Mr.. Harry Evans, the vigil
LIANT clerk at the hotel grabbed the
young man as he was about to slip on
the G. V. train on Wednesday after
noon and demanded payment, 1t was
not forthcoming and the gentleman
was taken to Jail by the constable.
He will have time to think the mat
| ter over and to realize what an ass he
made of himself. AT the time Of
writing he has been unable to adjust
his liabilities and remains the guest
of Sheriff lettering where he weeps
and mourns and refuses to be comfort
ed. 1t Is to be hoped that this will be
lesson for him and one which will
make him better and wiser man.

Destructive FIRE.

The fire alarm sounded On Saturday
, night, or rather Sunday morning, last
about two o'clock and soon it was
found that the Ire was in the build
ing formerly occupied by kilmer's
China Hall on West King street.
Owing to the lateness Of the hour the
/, fire had gained considerable Roadway
before 1t was discovered. The flames
seem to have started In one Of the
dressing rooms in the rear Of the the
atre and the fire was confined almost
entirely TO that section of the building.
The room being closed up gave the
flames no draft and were kept down
until the heat become so great that the
glaes In the rear of the building broke
and then the flames soon were ieaping
up the rear Of the structure which be-
ing brick with metal roof did not take
IRE.
The bursting of the glass in the
windows of the rear was the first that
WAS known of the fire. The noise
aroused the family of Mr.. Thomas
Kearns who by slight investigation
were soon aware of the fire. Mr.. Kearns
lives next door and as soon as he learn
ed the location Of the fire he called DR..
S. v. Fiery who telephoned the alarm
to the fire department. The chemical
wagon soon responded a. did also sew
eral of the hose companies and by
breaking in the front they soon had
several hose playing Oh the flames and
in shor: while the fire was extinguish-
ed.
The conduct OF the fireman was high
ly commended. They were prompt In
responding to the alarm and when
they got there they were not long In
getting to their work In a most effec-
tive manner.
The building was right badly injured
but can be repaired. There was ample
insurance ON the building. Mr.. Man
speaker, the proprietor of the theatre
is heavy loser. He moved into the
building come weeks ago from the
Miller building opposite the Market
house, cad 10 said to nave been doing
well WITH his moving picture show.
His Iosyybich is heavy is partially
covered by insurance.
The origin sfthe fire is unknown but
it is conjeotured that some of the en-
ployees were smoking about the build
ing about the time the show closed on
Saturday night and thft they threw
lighted match or a stump Of a cigar
on the carpet in some of the dressing
rooms which smouldered for some
hours before it burst into flame.

That Mr.. Taft il the political benefici-
AIRY OF corruption OF various kinds at
the election In 1908 IL known to pretty
much everybody but himself, and It
may have leaked out to him. That Mr..
Ballinger IL in favo, with the great In

1908, and they with him, is az plain as
II Il were labeled IN large letters on
the back of his outer garment. And
that Mr.. Taft Was wiling to project

being judicially unjudicial in his be-
half-is evident from his decision for
Baliinger and against CLAWS without

Nearly $4,000.

The National Bank of Clearspring
opened it's doors for business Saturday
morning. From o'clock In the morn
ing, until the closing money in small
and large amounts kept pouring in.
Mr. Mclaughlin, the President, and
Mr. Prather, the cashier, predicted
that the deposits for the first day
would probably be $4,000 but when
the deposits were counted and found
to be nearly $4,000 1t is predicted
that it will be the most prosperous
bank in the county outside of the
county seat, and from the Successful
beginning they certainly are justified
In their prediction.

New BANK BUILDING

The Merchants Il Farmers Bank has
fine picture of the front elevation OF
their new bank building on exhibition
at their banking room in the Snod-
grass building and the new structure
is much admired The building Will be
a "modernn bank building in every
res pect. 1t will be one story with high
granite columns on the front and solid
granite front and will it is claimed be
the handsomest building in the
city.
The board few days ago opened
the bids for the construction of the
building as far as the wood work aud
the granite and concretiug are concern
ed. We are informed that there were a
number of bids from contractors from
various sections of the country but Mr.
8. A. Westenhaver was the successful
bidder getting the contract. The con-
tract for the granite work went to Nc
Grsth & Company, of New York City.
The contracts for the heating and
lighting will not be awarded until the
WORK on the building is under way.
The mght of this handsome new strac-
ture will be the old pressed brick bull l.
Ing in the rhunel row on S. Queen
street and Immediately South Of the
Snodgrass & Nc Sherry building. The
lot is q feet in width and 103 feet in
depth and cost with :the old building
on it $4,000.
The plans were drawn by George
Cobb jr. of New York. The building
will not only be handsome on the ex-
terror but will be exceptionally beau
tiful as we'll as convenient and roomy
inside. The banking room will be
about so feet long the full width of the
building and the ceiling will DO 80 feet
high. The floor will be of tile, and the
perm nent furniture will be of maheg-
any with marble base.
over the S-foot wide entrance will be
a mezzan1ne floor and here will be the
presidents room, overlooking the en-
tire banking room. To the left Of the
spacious entrance will be the cashiers
room and to the right the ladies' room.
Back of the banking room will be three
private or coupon rooms and back of
them the Vault.
The estimated cost of the bank build
ing, exclusive of the lot and present
house thereon and the hand some fur
nishngs will be $4,000. The entire
cost when the building Is completed
and ready for occupancy will not be
far short of s45, 900. The building is to
be finished by the middle OF December
next.
