BALTIMORE, Sept. 9th e
900 prisoners in the city Jail are
today recovering from a thorough
scare received late yesterday when
flames starting in the paint shop
threatened to destory the entire
building and caused pandemonium
among the Gagged inmates.
Panic was greatest in the wo-

mates became hysterical and sew

A throng of 10000. drawn to
the scene by the clouds of black
smoke, watched police reserves
with riot guns guard all exits.
Fire apparatus battled the flames
for three hours. The fire ap-
parently was caused by spontane-
Gus combustion.
The terror,stricken prisoners,
added to the excitement with their
screams and demands to be re.

The Montgomery county com.

improvements for Rockville,
which bear the Endorsement of
Major j. Roger Spates and the
town council.
Edward Peter, attorney, and his
brother, George Peter, real estate
man, representing Mrs. Edward
C. Peter, ST., have offered to
dedicate a 40-foot right-of-way
from Jail Lane in the rear of
the old courthouse to the Rock
vile High School and a 60-foot
right of way from the firehouse
to Maryland Avenue. to connect
with a right-of-way already
owned, leading to the Great
Falls Potomac Road.
The opening of a new street
to the Potomac Road would give
another traffic outlet to the town
and would divert traffic from
the Potomac section from Mont
gOmery Avenue and Frederick
Road to east of the courthouse,
Mayor SpateS said.
The Peter heirs want an
appraisal committee to decide on
the value of the site. County
funds would not be available how
ever, until 1888 or 1884.
