FIRE AT PRAIRlEsuRe.


The business portion of the town
of Prairieburg, twenty-miles southeast
Of here. was wiped out by fire Fri
day evening. The loss is estimated
at $4,000, partially covered by insur-

to have been an over heat

ed. Various other small business

which had been examined by chemist
He inquired about the methods which
will be employed by the Natio al Guard
in boiling the water. He was told thai
they would have two kettles to eacf
company, and while one is boiling the
other will be in use. In order 10 hell
matters along, Captain Markey Offered

Brunswick Bank Will Pay so,
Per Cent.

! Another step has been taken in the
Strengthening out of the affairs of the
Brunswick Bank, which is now in the
hands of receivers. After some delay
Judges Peter and Motter have rendered
decision allowing the set-offs which
were asked for by some of the deposit
tors. The question was argued before
the court during the latter part of March.
The decision of the court allows the
set offs with the privilege of filing excep-
tons thereto later on. The next step in
the winding up of the affairs of the
bank is the ordering of an audit which
will show exactly how the funds stand.
Not until then will it be dfinitely deter
mined how much the bank will be able
to pay on the dollar.
Considerable trouble has been caused
the receivers. Messrs. John s. Newman,
Of Frederick, ands Millard +. Shaier,
of Brunswick over the stories which
have been current that the bank
will pay 10 cents on the dollar according
to conservative estimate. Mr.. New
man said recently that such reports
caused much inconvenience owing to
frequent telephone calls and letters in
quring if the statement was correct
He said that he still adhered to his
former statement that he considered so
cents on the dollar a conservative esti-
mate, although he thought that when
the audit was made. it would be found
that it would run little over that
amount. The reports that it would pay
much more raise the hopes of the de-
positors high and add to their already
excited state. Then comes the tele-
phone calls and the letters.
In the courts order there were almost
60 set-offs allowed. The set-off of
Janette Clagett and brother was not
allowed. The set-off of Odin P EicheI-
berger and wife and Samuel Clagett were
allowed with certain exceptions. The
set-offs which were allowed were:

The Mystery of 81. 600.

If Consul General Michael, formerly
Chief Clerk of the Department OF State.
and Morrison, the disbursing officer of
that department, wish to save themselves
from dismissal for participation in piece
of graft amounting to 81, GOO let them tell
all they know about the transaction. We
have no knowledge that they got a cent
OF the money; we assume nothing of the
sort; we are quite willing to concede that
they did what some superior told them to
do. But they have got to tell all they
know or suffer the penalty That might
as well he made clear to them, mainly for
the wholesome effect upon other clerks
in the public service.
Mr.. Rosenthal, painted portrait of
Justice Day, who had been Secretary of
State, for compensation of $3.50, includ-
ing the gilt frame, which cost 500. The
voucher, however, was made out for
S2,45o. Michael says this was done by
order of Secretary Hay. Mr.. Hay is
dead; no one would suspect him of dis
honorable act, and as he was man of
large fortune, the sum Of $1,000 is too
small for him to have compromised him
self with even if he had been that sort of
man, which no one has ever insinuated.
If Michael is correct, and Mr. Hay di-
rected the item of $T6o for some legiti-
mate public purpose to be smuggled into
this voucher the people in the depart
ment must have some knowledge of it.
1t is conceivable that the money was spent
for some secret service purpose, not to be
disclosed to the public but the officials
must have had some knwledge. How
ever, when Mr. Rosenthal went to the
leFN ~ mi NJ fnfA fD ntN H.
order for painting the portrait of ex-Sec-
retary Root he was told by DIR. DENLY,
who succeeded Mr.. Michael, that he could
not have the order because he charged
too much, and in proof thereof the voucher
for $2,45o was produced DENLY had no
idea that Rosenthal got only $3.50. This
creates presumption of graft that can be
overthrown only by more explicit infor-
nation than Michael and Morrison have
given.
A still more sinister aspect is given to
the matter by the withdrawal OF the
voucher from the files five years ago. If
Mr.. Root ordered this he should be able
to recall the circumstances. If he did
order it, why should it have been deemed
advisable to have the voucher turn UP
again? And what childishnees it is to pre-
tend that after It's hve years absence from
its place it was accidentally discovered
lying on floor not far from waste basket
into which it was apparently seeking to
crawl! With the voucher was sort of
explanation, evidently not written at the
time of the transaction, and very likely
not written till it was deemed prudent to
find the voucher; and with it was a re-
ceipt which Mr.. Rosenthal has no recol-
lection of ever seeing.
Under these circumstances the COM
mittee which made the investigation is
quite justified in recommending that
Michael and Morrison be dismissed, and
this recommendation should be acted on
at once unless Michael and Morrison can
tell a credible story about the affair
Such action should be taken as will make
it unlikely that other chief clerks and dis
bursing clerks will be parties to any such
suspicious transaction.
