Big Fire Near SIabtown
And Other Mountain Fires
Cause Much Damage.

Saturday afternoon last fire broke out
along the Western Maryland railroad at
Shutdown just east of Lantz, and in a
short time came in contact with pile of
wood which had been hauled to the road
for shipment. 1t is supposed there were
/ 60 cords of wood in the pile. Nearby
the wood was 200 oak crossties and big
pile of chestnut fence rails. All was
consumed by the flames. The fire also
spread over ten or more acres of mount
ain land owned by Mr.. VIM. j. Stoner.
Employees of the railroad and number
of men employed by Mr.. Peter Bussard.
State Fire Patrolman, succeeded in put
ting the woods fire out. The wood and
crossties burned belonged to Mr.. Charles
H. Brown. of Lantz, and the rails to the
j. Wesley Creeger estate. The fire is
supposed to have started from spark
from an engine.
Mr.. Frank Fraley, State Fire Patrol
man, residing at Catoctin Furnace, has
been fighting mountain fires for the past
two weeks. At one time there was fire
at six different sections of the mountain
south of Lewstown and owing to the dry
condition of the leaves and ground, the
fire was hard to handle. Fire was still
burning Monday afternoon on the mount
ain west of Lewistown. In every in
stance the fire is supposed to have been
set purposely. Thousands of acres have
beeh burned over and thousands of dol
lars damage has been done to timber.

96 Negro Insane Leave
MOntevue.
Patients Removed TO Crowns
vile Institution.

Nearly 100 colored insane were taker
to Frederick over the Frederick Railroad
in two special cars from Montevue about
l.30 Tuesday afternoon and taken to the
Baltimore and Ohio depot where they
were placed on two special coaches OF
the train leaving Frederick at l,5O for
Baltimore. These are the inmates which
are being removed from the county in
sttution to the Brownsville state hos
pital for the insane.
DR.. Robert P. Winterrode, superin-
tendent of the state hospital, and DR.. A..
P. Herring. secretary to the State Luna
cy Board, came TO Frederick to supervise
the removal. Private attendants, three
males and two females, accompanied
them and took charge of the patients.
No trouble was experienced in handling
the inmates. They were transferred to
Lombard street and placed on cars of the
Baltimore Washington and Annapolis
line and removed to Brownsville. There
was fifteen escorts provided in Baltimore
to assist in transferring the inmates.
Several colored insane, whose cases
are mild ones, will, by special order of
the State Lunacy Board, be allowed to
remain at Montevue to assist in the work
at the institution.
About 96 were removed Tuesday. Sew
eral were sick and could not be removed.
OF the number that was transferred
there were Is males and 80 females.
From Frederick county there are 5 males
and II females, the remainder being
from other counties of the state.
With the removal of this number of
insane there are about IT'S inmates left
at the institution. Frederick countys
white insane and white and colored pau
pers Of this county make up this num-
Der. The removal of the colored insane
to Brownsville carries out a program
,dopted by the state several years ago,
thereby the state will undertake to care
for all the insane at a cost of 500 each
TO the counties from which the patients
ire gathered. the remainder of the cost
being borne by the state.
March 81 the state removed SO white
insane from Montevue and last summer
75 colored insane We're taken. This with
the number removed Tuesday, will make
the total thus far taken from Montevue
about 2O9 patients.
With inmates at Montevue reduced to
such an extent, plans are being made to
cut down the expenses of the institution.
What will finally be done with the large
institution nothing has yet been deter
mined. But radical changes will have to
be made to reduce the heavy cost to the
county.

Defeat of Bond Brokers' Union.

There has been a strike, or series
of strikes, going on throughout the
country during the past few weeks
which the labor papers seem to have
ignored. We refer to the strikes of
the unions of bond brokers and
bankers. Some weeks ago the au-
thorities of New York City advertised
series of city bonds for sale. The in
terest stipulated for these bonds was
not high. enough to meet the scale
adopted by the union in question and
the members refused to bid for the
bonds. They supposed, of course, that
the city authorities would raise the
rate of interest to meet their views.
Not so. The bonds were split up into
small denominations to enable men of
limited means, as well as those of
larger wealth, to invest, and citizens
generally were invited to take up the
bonds. They did so. and the STRIKE OF
the bond brokers and bankers was
broken.-Cincinnat Labor Chronicle.
