eREENEVILLE DRYeooDs
 STORE BURNED OUT
Cigarette Supposed to Have Started Fire in Store of Max RabinoYitch.

Fire. the cause of which is said to have been due to a lighted cigarette, broke out in the drygoods store at No. 453 North Main street, conducted by Max Rabinovitch of No. 246 West Main street, about 9.15 o'clock Wednesday evening and in a very few minutes practically destroyed the entire stock besides doing considerable damage to the store itself. The alarm was rung in from box 27 located on the North Main street fire station directly oppo- site the scene of the fire, and the Greeneville companies with the auto chemical from the Central station re- sponded, the latter making an unus- ually fast run.
 The Ratinovitch store is located at the north end of the low building which is owned by Solomon Bros. who conduct the Creeneville Grain market, located in the same building. At the
 south end is the confectionery and
 newspaper store conducted by William
 H. Bowen.
 The fire spread very rapidly through
 the store and Q few minutes after it
 was discovered the interior was a
 mass of flames. The Greeneville fire
 men quickly laid a line of hose and
 the flames were soon sGuelched.
 Tn the inferior of the store the wood
 work was badly burned and scorched and what goods escaped the flames
 were damaged by water. The dense smoke made its way into the Greene vile Grain market, but it is thought caused little or no damage. No dam age was done to Bowen's store, but a Polish family who reside in 2, tene- menr directly below the Rabinovitch store was practically drowned out as the water leaked down through the ceilings in q steady stream. Nearly all the furniture suffered from the ] smoke and water. The recall was sounded about 9.3G o'clock
 | Nathan Rabinoyitch, employed in the 1 store as clerk. and son of Max Rabinovitch. the proprietor. stated after the fire that he had lock l cd up the store just about five ! minutes before the alarm was sent 1T ] and that at that time everything was apparently all right. He said that after he left the store he went |, ] Central avenue, where he was waiting ! for Q. car when he heard the bell ring | and upon hearing someone say that ] the fire was in q dTygoods store or ! North Main street, hurried pack tC l the store and found 1t In flames MT l Rabinovitch also stated that just { | few minutes before the time he closed ] up he was talking to a friend in tho : store ard that e Polish customer who ! was smoking q cigarette came In ana ! purchased q pair of overalIs. It !! ! probable that the fire was started b1 i a spark falling from the cigarette ontt 1 some of the goods. It was impossibl, l to fgure the exact loss Wednesda, 1 night but it will amount to consid l cradle. The goods were partially in i sured.

Impelled by jealousy and hate be- cause he had been told that his at tentions to pretty Raffena Coveno of No. 5S North Main street were no longer desired, Angelo Ritarco, 21, of Worcester, shot and probably fatally wounded her Wednesday night shortly after 2 o'clock as she was approaching her home on her return from work.
 The young woman was with her broth CT Frank, at the time. Two shots, one of whicll took effect in tho girls back were fired at her, and another at her brother as he turned and tried to grab hold of Ritarco. This one missed and Ritarco ran off down North Main street with the pistol in his hand, Go ing over Preston bridge and turning into Talman street and escaping in the darkness up over Hinckiey hill.
 Joseph Longo and Frank Serra were at his heels in pursuit as he raced along Talman street but he turn ed them back as they caught up with them, threatening that he had "anoth- CT builett'' for them.
 Miss Covello, who is employed at the candy counter at the NYoolwOrth store, was on the way home with her brotber after the store closed at 3 o'clock. They were walking on the opposite of the street from their home, Ihe DfOJ1ST SSalO alter llle ShNSJIlIlSs when they passed Ritarco and Frank Ferraco walking together near the Marguerite building. As they passed they said "hello' and after they had gone by little ways Ritarco turned and followed him and his sister. Sud- denly Ritarco started running towards them and as he reached them fired twice at Raffena. She fell against a fence at the side of the walk and Prank turned to get hold of Ritarco and protect his sister when another shot was fired at him before Ritarco ran off.
 The young woman got to her feet and ran to her home across the street about 100 yards away where she was eivcn such attention as possible until d doctor arrived.
 The sound of the three shots was heard around the neighborhood and William F. Bogue sent in a telephone call to police headquarters from his garage on North Main street near the scene of the shooting.

may be in doubt. He was consulted yesterday by quite a number of men whose incomes come within the scope of the law
 In d recent letter sent to all the in ternaI revenue districts in the coun- try, Commissioner Osborn called at tention to the fact that returns as to income must be made on the forms supplied not later than March 1.
 In the communication Commissioner Osborn urges that officials try to make it as easy as possible for taxpayers to file their returns correctly ar.1 within the prescribed time. He asks every effort to have their returns filed as soon as possible, and not to wait until the last day.
 MT. Spalding yesterday explained certain matters in regard to the tax. Single men are eXem2t from the tax who receive s. .0G0 or under and mar ried men are exempt who receive sal aries of S4,000 or under Thus, if a married man receives q salary or has an income of $4,500 a year, he is tax ed one per cent. on the $500, CT the amount over $4 GOO, which his income reaches annually. Then again, the iv- come taxpayer is entitled to certain reductions. For instances, if 9 mar ried man has an income of $5,000 and already pays taxes to the amount of $50, that amount can be deducted from the S1,000. If there is d first mortgage on the property from which which he is paying interest at the rate of $50 a year, he can deduct that amount also, from the $t.000 mak.ne the net amount on which he has to Day taxes, $T00, or S7 9 year income tax on an income of 5000 year.
