TIMELY DISCOVERY.
One; Piuigcr of the Careless Handling
of Ashes,
. Yesterday Mr. K. II. Foley, who keeps a
grocery in Robbins' row. on West Centre
street, det'eted an odor of bnrnliiK roe nt
thn renr of his storo. He made an examina
tion of the premises, but could detect neither
smoko nor lire. Customers visiting uic
store also detected tlio odor and .Mr. Foley
niado a,second unsuccessful examination.
About eight o'clock In the evening tbo
smell of burning rags had become so strong
that Mr. Foley decided to mako u moro
thorough Investigation. In tho yard bo
found a heap of ashes which had been thrown
against tbo rear part of the oil bouse con
nected with tbo storo. Tho ashes appeared
cold and they emitted no sraoue, but Mr.
Foley concluded to turn them over. As he
took tbo first shovel full there was a blaze
from tho heap. A llttlo more digging over
turned a bundlo of burning rags. Somebody
living In tho row bad evidently thrown hut
ashes where tho firo was found Instead of
walking about twenty feet further to dump
them into a bin provided for the purpose.

TO GO TO THE APPEAL TERM I
The Seal Cause Is Said to he That One of
the Jurors Is a Mon-ber of an Order
to Which Shaw Belongs An
Unexpected Sensation.
Camden, N. J., Jan. 5. The trial of
Eli Shaw for the murder of his (rraml
molher, Mrs. KilznlKth Zane, which
began Monday, came to an abrupt and
unexpected endlnjf yenterdtty when
Judge Garrison announced from the
bench that the trial as far aH It had
proceeded would be withdrawn and a
new trial would beRin In April. The
only explanation the court made was
that the defendant had aBked that a
Juror be withdrawn, and that a con
sultation with Prosecutor Jenkins and
Lawyer Harry Scovel, counsel for the
defendant, the court hail decided to
grant the request. Edwuid Norcross,
foreman of the jury, was withdrawn as
a matter of form, it helns known that
he was not the objectionable Juror.
Neither the court nor the counsel in
the case would give any explanation,
but the general Impression is that the
Juror objected to was Nelson V. Cox,
the last man djwn. It Is said that he
Is or was connected with the same lodge
of the Junior Order of American Me
chanics that Shaw belonged to, and
which lodge had adopted resolutions
evincing faith In Shaw's innocence and
appropriating money for his defense.
Mr. Cox subsequently stated he was
not now a member of the order, and
had not attended any meetings for 18
months. He believes, however, he was
the juror objected to. It was also
rumored In connection with the ending
of the trial that some one had made
a confession of the crime, exonerating
Shaw of any connection with it.

Annapolis, Mi., Jan. D. What prom
ises to prove a serious split among the
Republicans In the Maryland legislature
developed last night when an attempt
was made to caucus for ofTicers or the

Doltlrnore city refused to take part In
the caucus, and after waltlnsr for an
hour beyond the appointed time the
other Republicans met without them.
The recalcitrants are known as

party in the state and elected their
candidate for mayor of Baltimore, In
