ALMOST A FIRE
St. Marks Homo Has Very Close Call
Tuesday Evening.

While the fact may not be generally
known, St. Marks Home. at the corner
Of Winthrop and Pleasant streets, mar
rowly escaped serious damage or destuc-
ton Tuesday evening by fire. The fire
was discovered shortly before s o'clock
by John Damren who, while driving
along Pleasant street noticed the flames
in the north window of the kitchen on
the lower floor Of the building, and on
hurrying into the room found the win
dow casing ablaze, fire on the table
set near the window, and also on the
table he found the metal standard Of a
lamp, which told the whole story. The
lamp had exploded, being blown to bits
and had set fire to the curtain Of the
w4isaow, the fire quickly spreading to
t;ia tahs, cloth ana. then to the wood
work Of the window. The glass in the
window was all broken by the heat.
BY lively work Mr.. Damren succeeded
in extingu1shing the flames, and then
notified the people in the house, mono
Of whom were aware of the fire. He
then drove to the hose house on Bridge
stree. and notified the men Of Hose l,
two Of whom hurried to the Home with
chemicals. but their services were not
needed. 1t was close call for the Home
and perhaps other houses in that vicin-
ity. Mr.. Damren's good work cannot
be too highly commended.

story.
I've haven't the slightest idea who
the man is,'' said Deputy Sheriff Titus
today. I'VE haven't as yet lifted the
quilt from the body, or even looked at
the face. My opinion is that the man
is a stranger hereabouts.''
Just as soon as we received news of
the discovery Of the body We went to
the Pratt house, and at once arrested
Prescott Pratt and Hiram Cummings
The men were taken completely by sur
prise and neither spoke until We reached

Cummings later told Deputy Titus that
he knew nothing whatever about the
has not the faintest idea who the dead
man was.
The barn where the body was found
is small building containing nothing
but one or two automobiles. The back
OF the building is RAISED some four feet
from the ground ana the remainder
rests directly on the ground. Any one
can see under the building as there is
no underpinnine or boarding.
The body was lying in one corner.
An old quilt had been thrown over
it and q plank put on top Of the quilt.
It was hardly noticeable to any one
passing the barn.

Belgium and 1 did not believe that
any British government would be the
first to do so, now would public opin-
ion here ever approve of it,
German Railways
IF the German chancellor to know
why there were conversations on mill :
tary subjects between British and
Belgian officers it may find one rea-
son in a fact we'll known to him;
namely that Germany was establish
ing an elaborate network of STRATEGY
cal railways leading from the Rhine
to the Belgian frontier through bar
rem thinly populated tract. The rail-
ways were deliberately constructed to
permit of a sudden attack upon Bel
GUM such as was carried out in Al
gust last.
This fact alone was enough to justify
any communications between Belgium
and the other powers on the footing that
there would be no violation of Bel
GUM neutrality. unless 1t was previously
violated by another power. On no other
footing did Belgium ever have any such
communications,
I'm spite of these facts the German
chancellor speaks Of Belgium as having
thereby 'abondcned and forfeited her
neutrality and he implies that he would
not have spoken of the German invasion
as a wrong had he then known the con-
versation OF 1906 and 1911
1T would seem to follow that accord
ing to Herr Won Bethmann-H ollweg 8
code wrong becomes right If the party
which Is to be the subject Of the wrong
korsees the possibility and makes
preparations to resist it.
Belgium Kept Oath
Those vino are content with older
and more generally accepted standards
are likely to agree rather with what
Cardinal Mercier said in his pastoral
letter: Belgium was bound in honor
to defend her own Independence She
kept her oath. The other powers were
bound to respect and to protect her
neutrality. Germany violated her oath.
facts
"In the second part OF the German
chancellor's thesis: namely, that Ger
many took her responsibilities toward
the neutral states seriously, he alleges
nothing except that he spoke frankly
Of the wrong committed by Germany
In invading Belgium.
THAT a man knows the right while do
ing q wrong is not usually accepted as
proof Of his serious conscientiousness.
The real nature Of Germany's view of
her Responsibilities toward the neutral
states may however be learned on au-
thority which cannot be disputed by ref
arence to the English White paper.
IF these responsibilities were in truth
taken seriously why, when Germany was
asked to respect the neutrality of Bel
GUM il 1t were respected by France,
when asked the correspondence ques
ton at the same time agreed. This
would have guaranteed Germany from
all danger of attack through Belgium.
Tho Fust' Blow
1.-THE reason Of Germany's refusal
was given by Herr Won Bethmann-
Hollwegs colleague (The German for
eign secretary Herr Won Jagow). II
may be paraphrased in the well-known
gloss on Shakespeare Thrice is he
armed that hath his quarrel just, but
four times he that gets his blow n

The Calaboose a Crematory
\ Items from the Budget of this week in 1905

At about II o'clock Sunday night
fire alarm was sent in and the
fire department. responded with
promptness, but not in time to pre-
vent very regretable fatality. The
city calaboose was on fire and with
in it, securely locked, was an unfor-
tunate and miserable prisoner con-
demned to horrible death The fire
was discovered by Peter Sorenson,
who was on his way home for the
night. Not knowing that a prisoner
was in the building he went to call
out the firemen. When the door was
unlocked it was found that the vic
tim of the fire had gone to the door
in an apparent endeavor to escape,
and had fallen either from suffoca-
ton or from the effects of the heat.
The flames We're speedily ex-
tinguished, when it was found that
the victim was very badly burned.
