Cintralia, Mar. 17. Shortly after three
o'clock yesterday afternoon fire was dis
covered on West Bey hill, a little outside the
borongh line. It originated lathe property
of Mlohael Tigtie and Is supposed to have been
caused by a defective flue. The fire company
of this place responded promptly, but owing
to the last that the scene of the fire was oat
side the borough limits and several hundred
yards from the nearest fireplug, the company
was almost pewerless to do anything. The
distance was too great for Its hose to cover and
only buckets could be used. The flames
spread rapidly and four two-story frame
dwellings were destroyed with some of the
contents, but most of the latter were saved.
The houses burned were owned by Michael
Tlghe, William Elwell, Thomas Rowan and
Mrs. John Haffcy. Several other dwellings
were damaged by fire and water. j

It Is Believed In Athens That Greece
Will Fight Turkey.
RESENTMENT TOWARD RUSSIA
Greek Newspapers Strongly Denounce the
Attitude of the Dear's Government
and the fireck Boyal Family
Seriously Disappointed.
Athens, March 17. It 1b ths generaj
belief here that nothing can prevent
war, and that the government has Its
plans fully prepared. The oablnet had
a long session yesterday as to the at
tltude to be taken in face of the coer
cive .program of Europe, and it Is re
ported that a decision was reached
that active measure are the only so
lutlon possible for Greece.
The center of Interest Is now trans
ferred from Crete to the Macedonian
frontier. It Is evident from the haste
which the government has displayed
in getting all Its available troops oft
by sea before the commencement of
the blockade that there Is a strong
conviction that they will be needed at
once.
With the sea route oloaed the trans
portation of troops must be overland,
and this would be an exceedingly slow
and diflloult process, owing to the lack
of horses and the very Incomplete rail
way system In the northern portions
of Greece. Many of the war corre
spondents have already arrived at
Volo, Larlssa and other frontier points.
The Greek officers on the frontier
find the utmost dtffloulty In restraining
their men, and the departure of Crown
Prince Constanttn for the front was
deferred until advice was received
from the general commander, who fears
that hla presence would have a dan
gerously exciting Influence upon the
troops.
It Is reported that Turkish forces on
the Macedonian frontier are raising a
double line of fortifications, and being
constantly reinforced from Salonlca.
Since the publication In the semi
official press of the exposition of Count
Muravleffs Cretan policy, which ap
peared at the moment when it was
most calculated to Influence the French
government, the feeling of the public
press of Greece has been one of the
fiercest resentment toward Russia. The
Greek royal family Is also seriously
dluapponlted by the attitude of Russia,
and France Is believed to have sacri
ficed her Cretan sympathies upon the
altar of the Franco-Russian entente.
Tnrkey Kncourased by the Towers.
London, March 17. According to a
Vlennn dispatch to The Times .there i9
some ourloelty manlfMtcU in aumhui
offlelftl-olrcles as to whether the pro
gram of the powers Is to hold good In
the event of an outbreak of war In
Macedonia. The porte has been en
couraged, it is said, by several of the
great powers to send large bodies of
troops to districts alonsr tho Greek
frontier, and there Is no doubt that, in
the event of war the Turks would be
allowed to deal with the Greeks with
out fear of European intervention.
New Laws for Now Jersey.
Trenton, March 17. The house yes
terday passed the equal taxation bill,
the Gledhlll bicycle baggage bill and
the senate amendments to the bill
changing the time of holding elections
In Newark and Jersey City from spring
to fall. The latter bill now only awaits
the governor's signature. The other
two bills have yet to be acted on by
the senate. Assemblyman Armbrus
ter's race track bill was reported ad
versely. The equal taxation bill passed
provides that all of the U4 per cent
tax on second class railroad property
shall go to the municipality in which
the property is located. The Indications
now are that the legislature will ad
journ finally on Friday of next weok.

THAT ARE CHEAP
It's not what you pay for a
thing, but what you get for
what you pay that satisfies

the down grade of Price and
the up grade of Quality.
