Wednesday evening very destructive
fire occurred In the third-story brick store
building of Jaoeb Gable, ob EMt Kteg
street, almost opposite the oeurt beat.
Tbls building la situated right la the midst
of some of the beat atere properties la the
ally. The lower fljer la occupied by
Kttflrt Herr, plumbers and deaiera la
henae furnlahlng geed Tbey alae bar
the rear room en the seoend fleer. Henry
Weir, faraltnre dealer, baa the front room
ea IM seoend fleer and tbe third
fleer, which be uaed for aterlag furniture,
eta It was about half past alx o'elook
when William Belat, grocer at Duke and
EaatKIng atreet, notleed amok inning
from the aeoend fleer of the building. He
ran te Demuth'a elgar atere, where a lira box
key waa procured. An alarm waa then atrnck
from box Ne 7, at tbe oeurt hedae. The
lire occurred just at the time one of the
dilveraet each company was at supper,
and for that reason the firemen were some
what alew. All the, companies were
present and tbe engines were stationed
as fellows : Ne. 1, Eiat King and Christian
atreeta ; Ne, 2, Mifflin and Duke ; Ne.
8, East King and Centra Square Ne.
4, Duke and East King atreeta. After the
Are bad been discovered It made rapid
headway and In a abort time the whole
Interior or the building, In tbe rear, was In
flames. The fire leaped from the windows,
putting tbe properties In the vicinity in
danger. On the east alde lives Mrs. Her
man Miller, and ber house was en Are a
number of times. The firemen and ethers
saved the property by an almost constant
application of water. The firemen worked
hard alter tbey arrived, and It waa
eleven o'elock at night before the
last engine left tha building. They could
de but little in the way of saving goods,
however. The building, especially en tbe
seoend and third floors, was badly burned
out, and nearly every particle of atoek
belonging te tbe oecupanta was either
destroyed by. fire or damaged badly.
The second fleer In the rear put of
tbe store fell In with a great crash
te the ground fleer. Behind the
bnlldlng stands tbe plumbing and
tin shop of Kletler & Herr. This the
Bremen succeeded In saving from any
Injury, It looked for a time as though tbe
fine large store building of Williamson it
Fester, en tbe west side, would be burned.
There Is an alley between tbe two proper
ties In the rear, bat tbey are together In the
front. The store was filled with smoke np
stairs and tbe large force of empleyes were
kept busy carrying the stock or goods from
the eastern side of the building te ether
parts. As it w, the east and north walla
of tbe building were well aoaked with
water. The water made its way down Inte
the abew windows In the irent put of the
atere and Inte the basement.
The heaviest loser by the fire Is Henry
Wolf. Bis cfllce was en tne first fleer,
and lu It were all of bis boeke, papers, a.
These wete entirely consumed, and e(
course cannot be replaced. Nearly the
whole et Mr. Weli'a stock, Including fur
niture of all kinds, waa destroyed. Hla
less will be st least (4,000. His insurance
It bnt $1,500, and that Is with Jeremiah
Rife In the Heme company el New Yerk.
KleSer ifc Herr will lese agreat J 'art of their
stock, and they estimate their less at about
10,000. They are Insured for 5,600 ; et this
amount f3,600 is In the Commercial Union
company, e( Londen, with Bausman &
'Burns. Allan A. Herr has 2,000 In tbe
Imperial cempsny. The atovesandethor
Iren work In tbe Irent part of the store are
badly rusted, and this morning the
buckets, pans, fce , were all lennd te be
full of water. In the rear a great many
goods were broken by tbe falling of the
second fleer.
Mr. Qable's properly is Insured (or 1,000
In tbe Lancaster Heme Mutual company,
and for 12.000 In the Qlrard of 1'hlladelphla,
With Mr. Rife. The front wall of the bnlld
lng did net fall down, and from tbe atreet
It seems te be unhurt. The second and
third floors are badly used up.
The balcony and reef el Mrs. Miller's
house were pretty well damaged by fire and
tha beuse received a ratber liberal supply
et water, which did some Injury. The
building is insured in tbe Qlrard company
for f 1,600 and the Heme Mutual for 2.600.
The less will probably be seversl hundred
dollars, The furniture, carpels and ether
oententii el the house were damaged by
water, and they are also insured.
Williamson & Fester estimate their less
en the building from .the water which
penetrated tbe walls, callings, ?., at
about (2.000. As their building was filled
with smoke In the upper part tbey
think that their less te goods from that
and water will be between f2 500 and (3,000.
They are fully Insured in a large number
et companies.
Hew tbe fire originated seems te be a
mystery. Geerge Reese, an empleye of
Mr. Wolf, locked up tbe store at 6 o'cleok
and left. At that time there was nothing
whatever wrong as far as be notleed. In a
half hour afterwards the dimes were dis
covered, snd from tbe appearance et the
fire It must have been burning for some
minutes before it was aeen. It la supposed
te bave atarted en the aeoend fleer some
where. Mr. Wolf bd a small egg stove in
his office, but there must bsve been very
llttlr, If any, fire in It, ler the last coal was
put en at 11 o'elook In the forenoon.

Jee Haley, better known as Baltimore
Jee," the notorious tramp, whose name Is
as familiar te tbe newspsper readers as the
mayor of the city or ether prominent citi
zens, baa been raising mera excitement.
Jee has been sent te Jail and the workhouse
very many times for drunkenness and
vagraney. Juat before Mayer Morten
retired from office Jee was brought
before him en tbe charge et drunk
enness. The mayor had bad him
se often that his face made him tired
and he determined te give him a long term.
Jee received a sentence et six months In
the workhouse which would hsve been out
In September. Tbe officers at the work
house have bad a great deal et trouble
with Jee, who had escaped a number of
times, se tbey resolved te keep him this
time; accordingly iron shackles were
plseed upon tbe ankles of the distinguished
Baltlmerean. This had tbe effect of making
Jee feel yery badly and of lata he has been
begging V have the irena removed. The
officers had about concluded te take thsm
off in a short time. Yesterday Jee- waa
given a Jeb et white washing outside of the
wall. Late In tbe afternoon Watchman
Deen went away en an errand and when
he came Jee had fled. In some way he
had managed te slip the ahaeklea. The
Irons were believed te be tight upon the
prisoner's legs, but It Is likely that Jee had
managed te loosen them. It Is geed for
tbe county that Jes Is gene, and It Is the
earnest hope of every one that he will re
main away.

The invasUgaUea into the Standard oil
trust was eeaUaaed by the Heuse com cem com
mttteeen Baanufaotures Wednesday morn
ing. Mr. B. B. Campbell, an oil refiner of
Westmoreland, Fa, was tha first witness,
aad hla examination reviewed the whole
history of the bttslasae aad the growth et
the Btaadard Oil company.
The genera! purport of hit testimony was
that tha Standard OH company had bean
built up at the expense et Independent re
Oners, by rehatee aad special advantages
given It by the railroads, Tha matter of
rebates bad been Investigated by the state
of Pennsylvania la consequence efstste
meets mads te Governer Hart ran ft by wit
ness, but nothing came et It owing te the
fact that tha Pennsylvania railroad com
pany was me only one any material state
ments oeuld be gotten out et, and the at
torney general et the stats refused te pro
ceed sgalnst that company alone. The re
bates given the Standard hadcsussdtbe
ruin or many Independent refiners.
Mr. Gewen, counsel et tbe committee,
then put la evidence testimony given by
Mr. Cassate. of the Pennsylvania railroad.
In 1678, with reference te the amount of
rebates given the Standard OH company
by the railroad. Mr. Gewen said that, pre.
sumleg these rebates oentlnued for eight
or ten years, as they perhaps did, they
wen Id aggregate an amount considerable
mere than the national surplus whieh Is
new bothering us.
Mr. Cassatt'a testimony showed that tha
Pennsylvania railroad gave the Standard
and affiliated companies a rebate en crude
oil of forty-nine cents per barrel from tbe
Bradford field and fitly-one cents from the
"Lewer" field.
The railroad also gave the Standard 22U
cants per barrel en all oil shipped by
people net sfflllated wlih tha Standard.
The rates en t fined oil were 80 cents te the
Standard and L45 te the nubile.
Augustus H. Tack, of Philadelphia, for
merly of the Cltlssna' Oil Manufacturing
company of Pittsburg, testified that his
company began te feel the squeeze In tbe
ou uusinras in je ana renna me Hiana
ard constantly cutting under them.
Delegation after delegation was sent te
tbe Pennsylvania railroad te see If lower
rates oeuld net be obtained, aa It was sus sus
peeted something was wrong about tbe
rates. The cempsny, which hsd the best
and most modern refinery known, strug
gled en until 1874. wbsu It failed, and In tbe
next year was abierbed by tbe Standard
OH company.
William W. narkness, of Philadelphia,
testified that be wss part owner et what was
cenaldered a model" refinery, which
failed, like many ether refineries. Part et
the time oil bad te be sold at a less, and
when a profit could be made, cars oeuld
net be secured.
The squeeslng grew worse and wesse,
and tha refinery was sold te a gentleman
since identified with the Standard Oil com
pany. The teatlmeny of tbe witness cor
roborated that or Mr. Tack In lta aasentlsl
features. The business, be sald,oeuld bsve
been carried en successfully lta mandamus
had been secured compelling tha railroads
te give equal rates te all.

Msrcltat t-MAlty-A Total Etna et
Forty Ore Dollars UapoMdeaThsao.
Court met specially at 10 o'elock this
morning te pass sen ten ee ea the Indian
town election officers, that being the hour
agreed upon by counsel for commonwealth
aad defendants, whsa sentence wsa post
poned last Bitarday. It being generally
knewa that the Judgmant et tha law would
be pronounced this morning there was a
reed attendant. In the bar there were sev
oral prominent lawyers who are here at
leading the convention of Republican
elubs.
few minutes after 10 o'elock the de
fendants came Inte the court room and
steed In front et the Judge, Diatrlet At
torney Weaver moved that the sentence
et the oeurt be Imposed en Adam B. Frey,
Judge; a T.. Henry and C. K. Tillmai,
Inspectors; K, T. Kauffman and lasso
KauQmsn, clerks ; tha efflesrs of tbe In In
dlantewn election district, convicted el
conspiracy te defraud, committing a fraud
en Jehn W. Mentcer and adding ballets te
the poll.
Mr. Hensel, of counsel ler the prisoners,
said i The defendants are here ler sentence.
The Judge understands why the papers In
this case are net here te-day. Their conn cenn conn
sel de net feel tbat there la any occasion te
dwsll en the circumstances of the case. The
court has fully oensldorod all tbe circum
stances. It Is but Just, however, te remind
the oeurt tbst these dstsndsnts are tbe
first vletlms or a nsw and novel law. It
was a case In which partisan and po
litical feeling was Injected. They were
convicted or an enense which wss
rsnk and rife In this community for many
years. A great deal has been eatd en the
streets and In the papers about these msn
committing this erlme at the instance of
ethers and tbey have been severely criti
cised for net telling who wss behind the
fraud. He knownesuoh vindictive feel
ings entered Inte the mind et the oeurt and
he knew tbat such a sentence would be Im
posed ss would sstlsly the oensolenoeof the
court and at tbe same time be tempered
with Judicial merey.
JUDGE PATTERSON'S REMARKS.
Judge Patterson said la addressing the
defendants : "Yeu five defendants have been
duly tried, charged with an r flense agatnat
the law. Your trial occupied aeveral days.
Yeu were tried wltb great care and the Jury
after bearing the evidence and without any
Intimation of tha court convicted you of
conspiracy. The Indictment charged you
with conspiring te dsfraud, committing a
fraud en Jobu W. Mentssr and adding bal bal
eots te poll. These three counts embrsee
serious charges. It Is a erlme tbst aflects
net only tbe people stleeted, but streets tbe
machinery el tbe law et the common wealth.
When the ballet of the voter Is strleksn
down, the only means he has of expressing
himself Is rendered nugatory. This
government Is controlled by tbe
voice et tbe peipls as expressed
by the ballet Yeu snd I fsel tbat K our
ballet Is net counted or another substituted
for It tbat tbe fonndatlen et our govern
ment Is removed, I suppose you have
thought often el this since tbe trial, and
some of you have thought mera of It tban
ethers. Itlsslwsys a sad duty tbe oeurt
has In passing sentenes, and that duty
should net be imposed en tha court. There
should be some ether mode. Under the In
dictment tbe maximum punishment Is two
years, bnt the oeurt fssls disposed te mske
it leas because from observation we believe
tbst some of the delendsnts are net aa
guilty as ethers Seme are aa Innocent of
this misdemeanor as tbe Judge of tbls
court, and this will lead the oeurt
te modify the sentenes. This should
tesch everyone who undertakes the re
sponsibility of being sn election officer tbst
it is the d uty of officers te keep their eye en
tbe ballet box from the tlrae the polls are
opened until they close. Ne election officer
knows tbe kind of msn selected for Judge
and It that officer or sny etbsr destroys the
ballet box, or commits any ether fraud en
It, all are responsible. The oeurt Is con
vineed that some persons net named In tbe
Indictment were Instrumental In tbls fraud
and are as guilty aa you In accomplishing
It, but they are net sworn officers, are net
Indicted and the court cannot reach them.
Every cltlxen who serves ss sn election effl.
eer should be present in tbe polling room
all tbe time, otherwise he will be Involved
11 there is a fraud, although he may be en
tirely innocent. It is tee frequently tbe
eake tbat eleotlen officers leave tbe room
during the eleotlen, but when tbey de they
de It at their own rlsk,fer If anyone violates
tbe law In their absence tbey will bs held
responsible. Leeking at tbla offense sgalnst
tbe law and the community we feel tbat we
must mske somewhat of an example. The
sentence of the oeurt la tbst eseb et you,
fnsmlng tbe five defendants,) pay a fine of
C25, costs of prosecution snd undergo single
Imprisonment in the Lsneestsr prison for
the period et one year. On tbe second
oeuul, defrauding JebnW. Mentzar, the
sentenee is te pay a fine of 110. oests of
prosecution, snd underge'sn Imprisonment
el one week, te begin at tbe termination c t
tbe former aentence, and for adding
ballets te tbe poll tbe sentense is tbe same,
a flee et S10, coats et prosecution snd
undergo bu Imprisonment of one week te
dste from the termination of the former
sentence,
Ths defendants were placed In the charge
of the sheriff alter aenienee was Imposed,
and later In tbe day tsken te the county
prison. The Ir counsel hss applied for a
special allocater te the aupraine court, but
