FIRE DESTROYS HOME OF
FREDERICK PEDDICORD
Members of Family Have Mar
row Escape With Their Lives

Members of Family Have Mar
row Escape With Their Lives
Yesterday morning about six
O'Clock, and at a time when the
heaviest snow storm of the yea~
was at its height, the residence
Of Mr.. Frederick Peddicord, To-
Gated at the corner of Alder and
Seventh streets was discovered
to be on fire by one of his chill
dren, who upon awaking from
sleep called Mrs. Peddicord and
complained that he was smoth-
ering. The mother at once de-
tected the presence of smoke in
her apartment and gathering
her two children started down
the front stairway of the home
when she saw that it was on fire
and afforded no chance of es-
cape. The rear stairway was
also burning even more strongly
than the one at the front of the
house, and seeing that escape
by these two means was cut off.
she crawled through a window
to the roof of the porch from
which point they were helped to
the ground by several neigh
bOrS who had become aroused.
Mr.. Peddicord had left the
house at an early hour, his du-
ties at the local postoffice re.
curing his presence there not
later than five o'clock and he
was in ignorance of the great
danger threatening his family
until informed by friend who
FASTENED to the office.
By the time the fire DEPART
ment with its hose reels and
other paraphernalia reached the
fire the dwelling was all but con-
sumed, along with all the furni-
ture and clothing belonging to
the family.
In the building was also stored
the house furnishings of Mr..
and Mrs. Roy H. Leonard, all
which was also consumed.
Mr.. Peddicord carried insur-
ance amounting to something
above $4,000, while Mr.. Leon
ards insurance was $500.
About a year ago this proper
ty was badly damaged when fire
was communicated to a wall bv
gas stove.
The origin of yesterday morn
ing'S fire is not known.

THE FARMER.

The farmer has lot of friends,
Among them horses, cows and hens;
The sunshine, rain and snow all help
And greatly add to his share of
wealth.
When all his crops are gathered in,
And all his Eaters in the bin,
His work is done until the spring,
And he don't have to do a thing.
The autumn is his busiest season,
When he works hard for a good
reason
The grain is cut and thrashed and sold
Which brings in a tidy sum of gold.
His bees from which he gets his honey
Bring him in a lot of money;
His orchards ladened in the fall,
Are last, but far from least, of ALL

Why Not a Fire Whistle.

Since the fire yesterday morning
when comparatively few of the res
idents of town We're aware that a
home was being consumed and that
the lives of the inmates of that home
were in imminent danger, it has been
suggested that the attention of the
Mayor and Council be directed to the
fact that there is not an adequate
fire alarm system whereby the resi-
dents of the town, except those living
in the immediate vicinity where a fire
may occur, may be appraised of condi-
tons. Would it not be a good move
on the part of the officials of town to
have siren installed at the electric
light station to which point all fire
alams may be telephoned and the
siren sounded upon receipt of such
notice?

VIII Ask Repeal of Act Creating
Public Service Body.

At meeting in the city hall at
Frostburg on the evening of January
9th, attended by over a hundred tax
payers, the Public Service Commits
sion of Maryland was subjected to
severe castigation and it was sug-
gested that its name be changed to
Corporation Service Commission
The criticism came following the
charges that the West Virginia and
Maryland Gas Company was permit
ted to charge eXorbitant prices for
gas, and the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Company was allowed
to charge too much for calls to Cum
berland from Frostburg. The Cum
berland and Westernport Electric
Railway was also touched up for be-
ing allowed to eliminate stops in
Frostbprg which were public neces-
sity, it was claimed.
1t was voted to ask the Legisla-
ture to repeal the act creating the
Public Service Commission and that
the cooperation of other forces in
the State be asked in this matter. A
letter is being drawn by City Attor-
ney W. A. Gunter and addressed to
each member of the General Assem-
bly, calling attention to the alleged
persistent derelictions of the Public
Service Commission and asking for
the repeal of the law creating that
body.

GEO. w. KERNS, GARRETT

George W. Kerns, a farmer
residing about five miles from
Deer Park in the Lost Land sec
ton, committed suicide on last
Friday when he hung himself
with a check-line fastened to n
rafter in his barn.
Mr.. Kerns was in Oakland a

which time he acted strangely,
and authorized the insertion of
an advertisement in The Repub-
lican in which he offered his
farm for sale.
Mr.. Kenrs was upwards of

The heaviest snow fall of the wear
is now with us. Tuesday was an
ideal winters day, clear and frosty,
with no indication of change in the
conditions. Shortly after midnight
snow began to fall and by daylight
yesterday morning eight inches or
more had decended which continued
falling until after the light went on
last night at which time the depth
was variously estimated at from ten
to fifteen inches. The actual fall,
however, was a little over twelve
inches, this being a record breaking
fall for less than eighteen hours, but
it came down steadily with little or
no wind. AS a result of the storm
roads leading into Oakland from all
directions are pretty badly blocked,
Notwithstanding the efforts Of the
men handling the State snow pillow on
the improved roads early in the day.
At noon the leviathan started out the
second time but met with a mishap
when about five miles out of town
where it stuck and prevented other
vehicles from passing even though
the drivers had wanted to-and they
evidently did not want to, for they
all retraced the road.

Mr., Gimor S. Hamill, as mortga.

a farm located near Deer Park. A
portion of the land to be sold is I'M

Sunday morning last while services
were being conducted in the Presby.
terrain church here, smoke was seen
issuing from beneath the floor. The
congregation was at once dismissed
and upon investigation it was ascer-
tanned that by reason of an over
heated furnace pipe the flooring had
become so hot that it was upon the
verge of breaking into flames. No
damage resulted.
In one part of the State a man was

closing by club or association of a
tract of land to outsiders whereon
