Since Charley Doom made his peace

predictions. He is the first National
league manager to claim the pennant.

Stove Explodes at Cobb Injnring
Three.

Cadiz KY, March 18th. The
stove in r. j. Testers store, at
Cobb exploded and Mr.. Lester,
Joe Ridley, and Alex McAlister
were badly burned and other
wise injured. The show cases
and all the windows in the build
ing were broken, and the stock
of goods caught fire, but the fire
was soon eXtinguished. The
fire occurred a short time after
a fresh supply of coal had been
put in the stove, and it is
thought that nitroglycerine had
been placed in a piece of coal by
some one. An attempt was
made about two weeks ago to dy-
Mantle this same building.

Fire insurance Policies.

There are not many real estate
brokers who know how to write fire
insurance policy. Many, however.
think they are experts about such mat
tiers until a client of theirs learns after
his property has been damaged by fire
that he was only partly insured If
buildings are to be insured" says X. u.
Haubold. "care should be taken to
issue the policy in the name of the
persons in whom title is vested: that
provision Is made that should the
building stand upon ground held in
any other way than fee simple the
policy will not be voIded by that fact
If the premises be or becopic vacant
for period of more than ten days the
contingency must he met."-New York
