 sitv the value of the large cor noration to the community is most plainly manifested, and since the recent confagration which destroyed the greater DOT tion of that city, the citizens of Paris. Texas are most profuse in their expressions of commenda- tion for the Southwestern Tele- graph & Telephone Company. The work of this corporation dur ing and immediately after the fire demonstrates that the cor noration has a soul, and a heart of great magnitude. The story of the accomplishments of the workmen for the telephone com pany, and the courage of the girls who manipulated the switch board, reads like a motion pie ture scenario, and 1t is doubtful if one so thrilling as actual hap penings at this dreadful time, was ever thrown upon the screen. A cigarette stump thrown in- to trash box started the fire which on March 12 destroyed S7,000, worth of property and made 10000 residents of Paris homeless. There had been no rain for a month, and as hur- ricane was blowing, the frame residence section burned like tin der. The telephone operators stuck to their posts until the building in which the exchange is located was itself in flames, and many of those who left had close calls in reaching places of safety. By remaining at their sWltchboards, the operators were enabled to summon relief from Dallas and other cities, and to keep the outside world informed as to the progress of the flames, as we'll as keep in touch with the water station.
 Within an hour after the tele- phone exchange had been con- sumed, three operators, who had already been on duty for many hours, sat on a curb and waited until wires were dragged from the burned district, a pole was erected, and two old style tele- phone boxes placed on the post. The girls were soon in communi- catlon with Honey Grove, and thence with other cities. A tar- paulln was spread over the tele- pnones, and under this the three glrls worked. They supplied the papers of the cities with accounts oI the fire, and within an hour a iafge crowd had collected, all dhXlous to communicate with lelatlves elsewhere, to let them nhow the suffering in Paris. .elephone tickets were made

agonal approaches leading TO it from
both French and Market streets. Ira
dition has it that that bridge across
the Brandywine was a suspension

In those days Fourth street was
High street. Fifth street, Queen

The proposition seemingly was TO run
a boulevard from the oil ferry across
the Christiana TO the rope bridge

never was built In fact, the map Of
1891 in the possession of the city en-
gineering department, shows that
even at that time # had only been
extended up as far as Broad street
which Is now Seventh street
The point OF it all is, that Mr.. Tat
nails timely discovery shows clearly
that in passing through this city

There have been four cases in this

stuck to the Balm alone, and each

The invasion was one Of the most
determined and most boldly planned
of several which have startled South
Jersey towns in several months. The
authorities. however, had been ex-
pecting just such an attack, and the
vegqmen ran into an unexpectedly
warm reception.
Two weeks ago the Pennsgrove
postoiiice was broken into on the
day the men in the powder company
camps were paid AS yesterday was
nav day again, the town authorities
and the postofiice officials surmised
that another attempt might be made
as the powder workers on pay day
mail thousands of dollars in green
backs and money orders.

second voyage from Genoa with her

When the posse approached, the
man on guard outside the postoffice
pulled a revolver and started to
shoot and run. Some of the posse
started after him. The fleeing man
shot with revolver three times at
his pursuers. until his "gun arm"
was crippled by a bullet and he
stopped.
AS Money grabbed him, the cap
tured man remarked: Its a good
thing you get me or i would have
gotten YOU
Meanwhile. at the sound OF the
shooting, the FIVE robbers inside the
building dashed through the front
and back doors Of the pOstofiice, and
started TO shoot as they ran. Some
OF the posse had revOlvers and some
had shotguns One OF the alleged
