to the store early in the evening of tn,
fire, when he seemed angry. Lewis sem
a boy out on some errand unknown te
the witness: that few minutes later
Vickers came in and he and Lewis went
in the entrance to the cellar way in tn,
rear Of the building and closed the door
that they remained there in close con.
versation for about Is minutes. until
some one came in the store to see Lewis,
and the witness called him out.
William Stevens. the principal witness
for the State. testified that he was en-
ployed by Mason. the owner of the opera
house, to watch it. He said he went
down on the street about II o'clock
in the night and saw Lewis and Vickers
in Lewis store under the opera house
and he afterwards saw them come out
of the store and go up into the opera
house with box of excelsior"
He then went to his post as night
operator for the telephone company, in
the building next to the opera house,
and from one of the windows in the tele-
phone building opposite to one Of the
windows in the opera house he said he
saw Vickers in the main auditorium
with fiashlight. He saw him twice,
and in few minutes thereafter he heard
the curtain of the stage lowered, saw a
flash Of fire and then he telephoned to
various persons that there was fire in
the opera house.
He said the wind was blowing gale,
and all the electric lights in town had
been put out when he saw the flash of
fire.
Stevens said that few days after the
fire that Lewis sent for him to come to
James Wilson'S tailor shop. and that
while he was in the shop Lewis offered
him money if he would leave town until
the State Fire Marshal had completed
his investigation. Wilson was present,
and the fact that he was not put on the
stand to contradict the statement of
Stevens was significant to the jury.
Oscar Lewis testified that he was home
in bed at the time the fire occurred. that
he arrived home at ll.30 and Immediate
~ went to bed. Vickers testified that
he was at the Electric Light Station at
the time.
Several witnesses sworc that both
men were seen in the neighborhood of
the fire at the time they claimed they
were not there.
The public is relieved to know that
the guilty parties have surely been
found.

Buildings For "ShOre'

Senator John Walter Smith has intro
duced bills IN the Senate appsopriating
$40, 900 for Federal building at Cam
bridge, and s5O.O for another at Cris-
field. Md.
The measures were at once referred
to the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds for report. In speaking
of these appropriations Senator Smith
today pointed to the fact that Cam
bridge is a city of 1000 persons and that
Crisfield is nearly as large. These pros
porous towns are entitled to public
buildings. he said. and he means to urge
the bills until they are enacted by
Congress. He asks for larger amount
for Crisfeld on account of the need
for a combined postofiice and custom
house at that port.
While it is true that there will prob
ably be no public buildings bill in the
House at this session. it is expected that
such measure will be passed at the
short session. following the election. II
the measures offered by the Maryland
Senator go through the Senate now.
they will be in position to be acted upon
in the House this fall.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-.
tirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh, that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.
