Clinton, March 17.-On last We'd
ncsday about 1 o'clock ID. E. Tribbe
& Company's building was completely
destroyed by fire. When the fire was
discovered the flames had burst
through the back end and the wind
was very high and strong and made it
impossible to get the flames under
control though the fire company work
ed faithfully and did save several
buildings near. 1t is not known how
the fire started unless in a negro cabin
next to the Tribblo building, which was
also destroyed. The second floor of the
Tribble building was stocked with cof-
fins, caskets and undertakcrs sup
plies. Some Of these were gotten out
but were ruined by water. The in
surance on the building will cover
about one half the loss.
About $3.50 o'clock the fire whistle
blew for the second fire which was a
warehouse and was put out in a lit
tie while without damage. And at 5
o'clock in the morning the whistle
blew for third fire in the Home of

put it out before the company got
there.

weight. As the price of a loaf of
bread has remained stable at five
cents, while the cost Of the ingredi-
ents has increased, changes in the
real cost Of the nutrients OF bread
must be sought in the changes Of size
or composition OF the loaf.
According to Investigations made In
New Jersey in 1895, leaves costing
four and five cents weighed from 1871
to 21.8 ounces, average 76.4 ounces.
In 1895. in New Jersey. 5S per cent of
the five-cent loaves weighed over. Is
ounces, and SO per cent over Is
ounces. while in 1872. M Connecticut,
only per cent weighed over is ounc.
es, and only Is per cent weighed over
Is ounces. Assuming similar condi.
tions in these two states, the average
weight has shrunk since 1895 from 1914
to IA ounces, or Is per cent
