The market this morning was we'll
attended by country people, and the
volume of produce was much larger
chan usual on Saturday morning
There seemed to be an abundance OF
everything, the season having been
propitious.
Seasonablc vegetables were in pro-
fusion, and while prices during the
carly morning hours were firm, as
the dav advanced a noticeable weak
ness followed. .
There was an abundance of fresh
butter which sold at former prices.
Eggs were also selling at about the
same prices as last week.
This has been a successful season
for apples, and nearly every country
men had supply. They were selling
at all prices.

Mr.. Devers's home is located on
Washington avenue, just beyond the
city limits, and 300 yards west OF
the Alexandria poor house. The fire
was discovered in the bath room on
the second floor in the rear Of the
building. The cause of the contia-
grafton is unknown, but the fire had
worked its way up from the first
floor to the second.
The fire departments of Del Ray
and st. Elmo, under the direction OF
Chief Frank E. Heishley, responded
to the alarm, but the flames were be-
yond control when they reached the
scene.
Chief r. E. Gronau, Of the Alexan-
dria Department, ordered the Rell-
ance Hose wagon to assist the subur-
ban department and a coupling was
made to the city mains at the pool
house, but the water supply was in
sufficient at that point to do mach
good.
The loss is estimated at $4,000
partially covered by insurance.

MADMAN WITH DYNAMITE.
rolled in Frahtic Attempts on Lives
of Wife and Seven Children,
He Is a Suicide.

Wllkes-Barre, Pa, August s.
Crazed by drink, Joseph Mazzar, IS
years old, Of No. 300 Vaughn street,
Luzerne, attempted to murder his
wife and seven children by hurting
dynamite at them in his home Thurs
day morning and succeeded only in
blowing off his own head.
With two sticks Of dynamite in
either hand, Mazzar pushed open the
door to his kitchen after an night OF
wandering about the streets Where
he had obtained the explosive could
not be learned, but that he intended
it for deadly use was soon appar-
ent to his wife, who fled from her
breakfast preparations to gather her
children to safety.
There followed mad chase
through the upper portion of the
house, and the mother and children
escaped downstairs as Mazzar threw
one stick of the dynamite, which fail
ed to explode.
Catching the remaining sticks, he
followed his family into the street
and, overtaking them, was frus-
trated in second attempt at their
murder by his 1S-year-old daug-
ter, Mary, who grasped him about
the arms. The others found protec-
ton with ncighbors. and the daugh-
ter succeeded in tripping Mazaar,
then making her escape.
Going back to his home, the crazed
husbani and father fixed mining
fuse to one stick of the explosive and
allowed it to explode while he held it
in his hands. His head was hurled
across the street, both arms were
torn off, and the mangled trunk was
found lying across kitchen chair.

Macmillan had q preserve of these
