AIr. Mitchell was before the grand jury
for two hours yesterday. He was ex-
amined by District Attorney Whitman,
who is personally representing his office
in the jury room, and BY some Of the
Jurors. The Acting Mayor made gen
eral statement Of the conditions under
investigation, based on information
brought to him by the inspectors from

counts drafted for the work

nesses before the grand jury to-day
RAYMOND B Fosdick, Commissioner Of
Accounts. was the other witness at yes
terday's session. Mr.. Fosdick was in
the room for about half an hour.
Although the proceedings are secret
there was good ground for believing
that at the close Of the first day Of the
inquiry nothing OF a startling character
in the way Of evidence had been ad-
duced.
Asked whether or not there was 4
likelihood Of any police officials being
indicted as well as any individuals who
might have violated the laws IeidlIIs

conduct of public officers of every de- |
scription in the county. If the grand |

FIRE At TROY.
RI Rochell's Grocery and the
Bank of Troy.

Fire broke out Wednesday night at
1890 in R. L, Rochell's grocery store
at Troy, and in two or three hours the
building was in ruins and all the con-
tents that could not be saved by the
prompt action Of citizens at the fire.
The FIRE spread to the Bank OF Troy
and the building was destroyed except
ing the wall adjoining the store of Geo.
B. Wilson 4 Son, which prevented the
fire from spreading farther. The fur
niture and fixtures were mostly saved.
Goods were taken from other build
ings all along the north side Of the
square and piled in heaps in the street.
1t looked for some time like the entire
north section Of town would be de-
stroyed.
Mr.. Ingram informs us that the
banks fire amounted to 81, 700, insured
for 81 200, making the loss practically
nominal
Mr.. Rochell carried the largest stock
of groceries and sundries probably in
the county. ffis stock alone was val
ued at 81, 900 or more and his house at
50, 500. He was the greatest loser, hav-
ing only 50, 600 insurance on his stock
and 50, 900 on his house.
No one knows the origin of the fire.
The directors of the bank have de-
cided to open temporarily in DR.. Rob
erts' Office until they can build, which
will be done at the earliest practical mo-
ment.
Mr.. RochelI will doubtless rebuild
and continue business at Troy
The fire was the worst in Troy for
many years. Mr.. Rochell came to
Troy some twenty years ago from jack
son and succeeded his brother in bust
ness there, doing large and profitable
business The Bank OF Troy was or
gained twenty years ago, and it has al
so been one OF the best in the county.
We trust that these men and the citi-
liens generally at Troy will soon rceov-
er from the fire and continue along the
lines OF success.

Ordered Concrete Walks.

The Board Of Mayor and Aldermen
at Troy at meeting last Wednesday
afternoon passed an ordinance directing
the property owners along the four sides
Of the square to construct concrete walks
at their own expense. This is the plan
in force in many cities and it should be
in force in Union City. The business
men and the owners Of homes should
be required to build their own walks.
The. system Of paying half the cost
works hardship on the owner who
cannot afford the other half, or who
protests that he cannot. The only prac-
teal solution is for every citizen to build
his own walk and let the city make good
streets with what available money it has.
