NAN MARRIES FOUR SISTERS.
He Wasn't Happy Without Them and
They Waited Their Turn.

To marry four sisters is the ex-
perience of Harry D. Philkill, for
merly a resident of White Hill, N.
J.. who now resides in Baltimore,
Md. He is 5S years old and has mar
ried Miss Josephine Conroy, seven
years his senior, and a sister to his
three other wives now deceased.
Philkill declared after the ceremony
which was performed by the Rev. G.
S. Cutter, that he felt like boy of
nineteen.
He was first married forty years
ago, when he eloped with Miss Mar
lie Conroy, says the New York Her.
aid. He was greatly attached to all
four sisters, and it has often been
said that they were all in love with
him. His first wife was killed in an
accident six years later. He after
wards married Miss Anna Conroy,
with whom he lived for dozen
years. She died with heart disease
while they were enjoying a trip tc
the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Philkill remained single for
two years, declaring to his friends
that he would never marry. He did
not keep his resolution, however, as
he again fell in love when he came
here to visit the Conroy family, and
the graves of his wives, who were all
buried in the family plot.
Miss Lillian Conroy was his next
bride. He wooed and won her dur
ing his visit and she accompanied
him to Baltimore as bride. This
proved Philkill's longest venture in
matrimony, as the couple lived to-
gether for eighteen years. At the
expiration of that time Mrs. Phil
kill died of typhoid fever. Mr.. Phil
kill remained single for two years,
but Cupid possibly believed that he
made too good a husband to be with
out a wife and the wedding of Miss
Josephine Conroy and the widower
was the outcome. Mr.. Philkill is
the father of three boys, one having
been born to each of his three wives.

DENOUNCEs sLURS ON FIELDER
Anderson Speaks Warmly in Defense
of Partner.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 25.-Cliford L.
Anderson, law partner of Thomas B.
Fielder, in the latter's absence from
Atlanta, to-day made a statement in
reference to the Associated Press
dispatch from Columbia, in which
Gov. Blease is quoted as inquirine
why Fielder was not prosecuted
when it was found that he was the
attorney for liquor house and was
favored with liquor purchases and
rebates were paid for these pur'
chases."
The statement is as follows:
Anderson's Statement.
"Since the Goodman and Fleisch-
man compromises referred to were
also made under the advice and
through the instrumentality of Mr.
Fielder, I assume that the governor s
reference to these matters and de-
mand that they be inquired into, is
likewise an attempt to reflect upon
Mr.. Fielder.
"Throughout the entire course OF
the investigation of the South Caro-
lima State dispensary and the dispo-
sition of the matters connected
Herewith ythe winding-up commits
sion, I have been closely associated
with Mr.. Fielder, and am familiar
with all the facts connected there
with.
Charges absolutely Untrue"
"Mr. Fielder is out of the city, and
in his behalf I desire to say that the
charges and insinuations contained
in the governors message, which re-
fer to Mr.. Fielder, are absolutely un-
true and without foundation in fact
"If Gov. Blease has been Informed
by any persons that there are exist.
ing facts giving foundation to these
charges he has been wilfully misled
by designing persons, who probably
have felt the weight of the law
growing out of their own nefarious
transactions with the State dispen-
sary. and seek this method of re.
venge.'

Indicts Over Three Hundred.

West Union, o., Jan. 25.-All rec
ords for the Adams county election
probe were smashed to-day, when the
grand jury reported 32S indictments.
These were against voters who had
voluntarily entered pleas of guilty.
This latest batch brought the total
of the five weeks probe up to 2,148,
or one third of the entire electoral
count of the county. Between 1900
and 1000 have been disfranchised.

SPARTANBURG HAS FIRE.
Three Buildings are Burned and
Many Suffer Loss.

Many Suffer Loss.
Spartanburg, Jan. 25.-The most
disastrous fire since the burning of
the Spartan inn block last April oc-
Cured here early to-day when the
Heinitsh drug store building, the
building occupied by w. S. Glenn
stock and bond broker, and the new
Bank of Commerce building were
practically gutted by the flames. q.
With the exception of the building
occupied by the Heinitsh drug store,
upon which there was only $2,OO0
insurance, the losses are practically
covered by insurance. w. S. Glenn
carried $4,000 on the building he
occupied and on the bank building,
which he also owns.
The Origin Conjectured.
The fire is believed to have origi-
mated from the furnace in the base
ment of the Glenn building, but this
is not certain. The flames were first
discovered about 1920 this morning
and had then gained considerable
headway. The loss will probably ex-
ceed $4,000. The stock of the
Heinitsh drug store is said to be
practically a complete loss. Offices
over the store occupied by DR.. Geo.
w. Heinitsh, DR.. L. j. Blake and DR..
J. E. Edwards were burned with all
their contents.
Many Suffer Losses.
w. S. Glenn had his Office on the
ground floor, and in the rear of it
many other offices were rented. Prac-
tically all of these were destroyed,
The desks and typewriters and also
numbers of private papers were lost.
The office of Baylis Earle were in the
extreme end of this building and
everything in it was destroyed. Many
private papers belonging to Mr..
Earle, which were in his desk, burn
ed, and caused a considerable loss.
He had only desk room in the build
ing.
D. C. Todd, a broker; w. T. Har-
ris, w. H. Kinard; soliciting freight
agent of the Central of Georgia rail-
road, and John Ferguson, commerce.
al agent of the same road, had Of
fees in the burned building. Their
loss varies.
Mr.. Browns Loss.
The law Office of Ben Hill Brown
was on the second story of the Glenn
building and was totally destroyed.
Mr.. Brown, who is member OF the
State legislature, was not in the city
at the time. Another attorney who
is familiar with the books owned by
Mr.. Brown said that they must have
been worth between $1,000 and ST.
500. His desk was destroyed and a
large number Of private papers.
Above the Bank of Commerce
there was located the Elford agency,
a concern which deals in all kinds Of
insurance and real estate. This Of
fee was completely burned out, but
breaking the large, plate glass win
dows it was possible to remove a
quantity of the contents of the Of
fee.
Bank Furniture Damaged.
The Bank of Commerce on the first
floor was not damaged by the flames,
but the building was flooded with
water and damaged by smoke to a
large extent. The building had re-
Gently been remodeled and had been
converted into ideal quarters for a
bank. Finished throughout in white,
with handsome mahogany fixings, the
walls are stained by the smoke and
the furniture is damaged by the
standing water. The loss here will
not exceed 1000.

COLD NAY NOT CAUSE DAMAGE
If Weather is Not Too Clear it Will
Not Hurt Much.
WHEAT BENEFITED BY MOISTURE
Not the Worst that Has struck
Nebraska in the Last
Few Years.

The damage that comes from the present
cold snap that is making the first OF May
look like the last of March, will depend
very much upon the cloudy condition Of
the weather during the night. Where II is
clear II will probably befc cold enough to do
considerable hurt to the fruit, but in most
places there seems to be little chance OF
seyious, damage.
The weather bureau in Omaha predicts
freezing weather sometime before Tuesday
morning. During the day Forecaster Welch
notified through the Iowa agricultural col
lege. as many of the Iowa orchardists as
could be reached. to get their fire posts
ready as IL was showing in Nebraska and
might be expected in the east.
Snowfall Is reported from many Ne
braska towns. but nowhere was the pre-
cipitation very heavy. Hastings reported
a half-inch Of snow and a temperature of
2s. Fruit and garden crops are injured, but
the wheat is generally helped by the mols-
ture Other Nebraska towns report the
same conditions
Reports from the weather bureau indi-
cate that farther west than wyoming
there was no great drop in temperature
but between Omaha and Cheyenne It was
general. Denver had a temperature of 81
at o'clock Monday night, six degrees
higher than Omaha. The general Ne
braska weather seems to have extended
across Iowa as Davenport had AZ degrees
at o'clock.
The impression that cold May days are
unusual and cruel for Nebraska is shown
to be a mistake by the records of the last
two years.
Although the last two years have been
unusually cold they have not been alto
gether disastrous. and this year was the
mildest of the three. The lowest tempera-
ture for Omaha this year during the day
was 80 In 1910 It was 26, and in 1909 II
was rs. The mean temperature for 1911
was IS. in 1910 ss, and in 1909 IS. There was
precipitation Of o.O7 this year, however
which is the first preceptible moisture on
May day for the last three years.
