Sunday Night Fire

About 1910 o'clock last Sunday
night fire started in an upstairs room
OF a house on Smith Avenue, between
Walnut and Willis Streets, Smith
Tract. To attract people a gun and
revolvers were shot a few times. The
bucket-brigade could do little and the
tiremen could do little more because
the nearest fire plug was on South
Broad and Walnut Street. The flames
Illuminated the southern part of the
Borough and the building was entirely
consumed. The adjoining building al
so caught fire and was burned.
In a half hour hose arrived from
the Powder Works which was connect
ed with about 1000 feet of Borough
hose. A stream was turned on and
the adjoining building, owned by Car
mella Martell, was saved after the
roof was considerably damaged by fire.
The house in which the fire started
was owned by Ella Wills, in Whining
ton, and was occupied by Bertha Sin
gleson, a colored belle with bangles.
She declares she does not know how
the fire started, while others think a
lamp was upset on the second floor.
The second building was owned by
Nicola Lupriiano, of Baltimore, and
occupied by Amos Brown, colored.

Township Affairs Explained

MI. E<ulloT."
Having read bad accounts of the
Township Committee in your paper
the past two weeks, would ask for the
privilege of an explanation.
There has been a lot of controversy
about my son-in-Iaw having a team
on the road. The spring Of 1917,
when everyone was busy at the pow
der mills with their teams, l hired my
son-in-law's team. also foul or five
teams from other townships to work
on the road; have also hired laborers
from other townships and one from the
Borough, who by the way was one of
the greatest kickers about this one
team. There was never any complaint
about anyone except that one team. l
am confident that the kickers have
never given me any but will
say l have given them lots of work.
Now, as to the printing of the state
ment. 1t was not the Committees sug-
gestion that the statement be printed
in the Advertiser, and they told their
Clerk to see that each and every tax
payer received q cor and, Mr.. Editor,
you know just how tha came about.
for / explained it to you.
There was not any thought of any
one hiding anything nor any sneaking
act about it. Every persons money
who received a dollar and the number
of dollars they received is in that
statement.
Mr.. Mattson also speaks of the Com
mittee working their teams n the
punishment for the same. Can he name
any one of the Committee he has ever
known who had a team that did not
work it? Can he say he did not work
his when he was Committeeman? If
he did. was he a law-breaker? Is he
not liable to the same punishment. or
has he outlawed it?
I nave q duplicate of every order
paid out of Township funds from 1913
to 1919.
The greatest malady human flesh is
heir to, is that ~greenseyed monster,
jealousy, for which there is no cure.

at the same time there is nothing femi-
nine in his manner.
On the contrary. as bentting a prize
fighter he is a well set-up, manly look
ing chap.
But what gave us our first surprise
was the way Carpenter handled his part
In the picture, The Wonder Man"
The plot Of the story, as would be ex-
pected is built around a prize fight In
which Carpenter pits his les pounds
against the greater weight OF his oppon-
emf.

serves. in view OF his unexpected ability

tanning nevertheless.
In the picture Carpenter IS mys-
ferrous Frenchman, suspected OF being
an international crook and murderer ana
gpparentIy involved in the inert or con-
tract between an American manufacturer
and the French government.
The real culprit, under protection OF
his social standing, Is secretly making
love to his partners vic.
Tho mariner in question has daughter
who is in love with the hero OF the story
which. Of course, is Carpenter, but even
she for the time being suspects her lover
~ having stolen the contract from her
father in whose hands they had been
placed.
Carpenter. finding himself under sus-
melon. Immediately begins to devise ways
and means to catch the real criminal and
Auallv succeeds in tracking him down.
The climax to the picture Is the Dig
eight between Carpenter and the thief
ha fat
of Carpenters sweetheart.
The hero not only gets the best OF his
onponent in the ring but -uncovers his
connection with the theft of the contracts
and the attack on the lawyer In whose
possession they were.
The fight gives Carpenter the chance
IN display some OF his fighting ability
and agility for which he has become
known throughout two continents and he
rises TO the opportunity in great style.
The fight was not faxed.
Each man tried to the limit Of his abii-
