Between $50 and 6 o'clock yes
terday afternoon the fire department
was called out to answer an alarm OF
fire in the New York Bargain House

After quick work by the fire laddies
the flames were subdued, but not un-
til after practically the entire stock

damaged by the smoke and water.
The valuation of the stock is about
$1,000, and is a total loss for the
proprietor, B. Lieberman, as no IN
surance was carried on either the
stock or the property.
Defective electric wiring is said to
have been the cause of the conflagra-
ton, crossing of the wires being the
immediate cause of the blaze. how
ever. Mr.. Lieberman was badly burned
about the hands in efforts made to
beat out the blaze before he sound
ed an alarm.
This is the second fire which has
occurred in Mr.. Lieberman's store
within about year.

CUSTER LAW AND QUERIES
Thousands of Officers Have Never
Really Known Responsibilities OF
Their Position

The passage of the custer law has
brought into the Office of Attorney
General Pollard in Richmond flood
of inquiries concerning the duties OF
various local officers, especially In
reference t1 th= enforcement OF the
Sunday and liquor laws.
Under the statute the Attorney
General is only legal adviser at the
seat of government to government OIL
ficeholders, and he is, therefore, not
empowered to render official opinions
to justices of the peace county sherltts
notaries public and other: officers but
as a matter of personal courtesy to
those who enquire, he has referred
them to section 1912 of the code
which makes every judge. justice OF
the peace, clerk in chancery, notary
public and county surveyor con-
servator of the peace, which means
that it is the duties of these officers
as we'll as constables, to arrest, OF
cause to be arrested, those who .vio'
late the laws in their presence:
The Acknowledgement has also re-
ferred all inquiries to the provision
of section 1888 of the code, which re
quires every sheriff, constable OF
other officer to give information o'
the violation of any penal law to the
Commonwealth's Attorney, who mus
institute and prosecute all proper pro
ceedinss in such cases. .
4 These statutes have been so Ions
Ignored that it will come as distinc
surprise to many officers who hav'
not known it was their duty to repor
violations Of law. Thousands of no
taries pubic the State, includm1'
nany women, have not had the slight
