Clean The Chimney
Fire Chiefs Urge
Help Reduce The Fire Haz-
ards About Your Premises

Chief Everett Donache and assist
ant ]. Earl Tyson, of the Community
Fire Company of Rising Sun, in
keeping with the spirit of Fire Pre-
vention Week, being observed from
October to IL, appeal TO house
holders to help eliminate hazards
which may result in fires.
Chimney fires represent more than
half of the blazes for which the Com
pany is called out, and according to
our local firemen, these chimney fires
are all preventable if people will take
the trouble to have their chimneys
cleaned out once year.
Other recommendations made by
our firemen, which, if followed, will
help greatly in reducing the fire haz-
ards, are that Easements be kept free
of rubbish; stoves should not be
placed too close to walls, where the
woodwork may get overheated; grass
and leaf fires should not be left un-
attended. When this sort of outdoor
rubbish is raked up and burned,
watch the fire.
The winter season is the time
when most fires occur, and the time
for cleaning up hazards and prevent
ing needless blazes is in the fall
months.
Do your bit towards observance of
Fire Prevention Week by looking
over the fire hazards on your prem
ises-not overlooking them-and
thereby save trouble for yourself, as
well as the firemen.

Cut In Electric Rates
Ordered
Ruling Of Public Service
Commission Requires
Uniform Rates

Reductions in the rates of the
Conowingo Power Company amount
ing to $4,000 per year, and result
ing in a saving of approximately $40
per customer, were ordered by the
PublicService Commission on Thurs
day
The cut will allow the company to
earn six per cent on it's property in
vestment, assessed at $925,000, or
$55,683.
The commission estimated that the
company would have net return of
$96,O5O next year at the present
rates and ordered a reduction to
bring this net down to the amount
allowed.
The power company, which dis
tributes electricity in Cecil and in
parts of Hartford counties, was in
structed to file a new schedule of
rates in thirty days. The rates,
which heretofore have been different
in the two counties, are to be uniform
and will become effective on current
used during November.
Along with the new rates the
power company must submit a new
plan for making extensions of lines in
rural districts, the present plan hav-
ing been found unsatisfactory.
The orders of the commission to
the power company came as result
of an investigation which began in
March, 1894, into the rates, charges,
service and valuation of the company.

HORSES AND CATTLE PERISH
IN FLAMES

Seven head of cattle and five
horses persisted in the fire that de-
stroyed the large barn on the farm of
Francis T. Stafford, on the Christiana
Road near Lumbrook, a short dis
lance east of Newark, Del, about
midnight Saturday night. A large
quantity of wheat with other farm
products and implements were also
burned. The total loss is estimated
20 have been from $4,000 to
$4,000
Incendiarism is suspected because
of the fact that the Stafford fire is
only one of several mysterious fires
that have occurred in recent weeks
and all of them just around mid
night. Local firemen recall that
there were also several mysterious
fires in the vicinity last spring and
they suspect a fire bug is at work.
The large frame and stone barn of
David Huber, on the Quarryville
pike, near Refton, Pa, was destroyed
by fire at six o'clock Friday evening
last, causing a loss of $4,000, with
only partial insurance.
A large number of tons of hay and
straw, $50 bushels of wheat, farm
ing implements, harness, ETC., were
lost in the fire.

FINED FOR STEALING ELEC-
TRICKY

Sounds like a fellow has to be
pretty swift to steal electricity.
Richard R. Boyce, Cecil county
resident, appears to have pulled
fast one, but he was not quite fast
enough to get away with it.
Boyce was convicted of the charge
of tampering with an electric meter
and stealing current. Hailed into
court, it was shown that the accused,
who operates small road-house near
North East, had bored through a
glass covering of the meter and in
serted a wire therein so as to pre-
vent the meter from registering the
current.
The Court found him guilty and
fined him 500.

STEAL BLIND MANS SHEPHERD
GUIDE

One of the most contemplate
thefts ever recorded is that of a
shepherd dog, by some unknown
party, at the Havre de Grace race
track, about two weeks ago. The
fact that makes the theft such a
mean one is that the dog had been
trained to lead a blind man.
Gayle Burlingame, Of Columbia,
Pa, has issued an appeal in the hope
that his German shepherd guide dog,
Lady Luck" may be returned to
him, as he is blind and the loss of
the dog is second only to that Of his
eyesight, seven years ago. At that
time Mr.. Burlingame obtained Lady
Luck" as a mere puppy, trained her
in the duties of lead dog, and has
since depended entirely upon her as
his "eyes."
He has asked the press everywhere
in Pennsylvania and Maryland to
help in bringing back blind mans
dog. kilograms were sent to
friends in the State Federation of
the Blind of which Mr.. Burlingame
is president. Race track officials
promised to do all in their power.
Police and detectives of Baltimore
have Joined in a dog hunt that
promises to write new humane
history.
Mr.. Burlingame went to the track
at the invitation of friends for the
last race of the season. Thousands
of autos were parked in the lot.
Unfortunately Lady" was left in the
car and it was not locked. AS lead
dog, it was unrivalled. AS German
shepherd, it was one of the finest
specimens in the East. It's value to
Burlingame cannot be replaced in
dollars and cents.
