Mrs. Hooks stepped upon a match which had fallen to the parlor floor and escaped notico. In nn instant the trimmings of a coucli were a mass of flames and the tiro spread to the hammock. A largo crowd soon gathorcd at tho house and mem bers of the Phoenix Fire Company hurried to the scene with their carriage, but 110 fire alarm was sounded and tho other fire com panies were not out. Mrs. Hooks suatcbed the burning hammock from its fastenings and threw it into tho street and several men hustled tho burning couch out of tho houso. Tho removals put an end to danger in the house and a bucket brigade attended to the burning articles that were carried to the street. Tho damage was about twenty-five dollars.

It is at tho urgent request of Mr. Houck's friends thai he has beeu induced to take this step.

One of the most unions letters Hint ever passed through tho local post-oillce was re ceived yesterday by Kddle Toliin, from Wllkesbarre. Tho letter was sent by a Pottsvllle, Jan. 11. In aecordiuico with tho ruling of Judge Jiechtcl, and tho formal notice given by tho counsel for the Common wealth, District Attorney Ilechtel moved to amend the indictment against tho County Commissioners, by changing April 0, 18'JO, in tho second count to October 7, 1891), and tho court allowed it Tho count in question ro latcs to tho allegation that a false financial statement was iilcd by the Commissioners. Tlioro are some lively tilts between counsel inthiscase. Attorney Kyou appears to take delight in throwing his barcastie darts at Mr. Schalck, who always has an answer coined and ready. Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Whalcu and Ultich had it out, and this morning they were at it again. The continual nagging of ihe lawyers appears to bo irritable to tho court, and they were given a severe lecture. Tho testimony of ex-Clerk Conncll was de livered with dramatic ability. It was clear, preciso and impressive. Tho question would barely pass tho questioner's lips when the answer followed. Tliere was considerable comment ami surprise; at bis statement that the ex-Deputy Treasurer was in the habit of going to the bank for rash loans. No other witness made a liko statement, not even the ex-Deputy himself. Phil's testimony, bar ring a mistake in the Commissioners olllco, indicates that he would have the world be lieve tho fault lies in tho Treasurer's olllco or at the bank. There is also some surprise that President Tyson and Secretary Hazzard. of the Safe Deposit Bank, should liavo been questioned more closely than Charles N. McGiunes, late paying and receiving teller in the bank. Mc Glniies was not asked by either side tho same line of questions put to the otbcis, and ho ought to know who was in tho habit of com ing to the bank from the Commissioners oilico for money ; that is, whether it was ex Deputy Kline, Clerk Council or Typewriter Moser. Perhaps there is a card up somebody's sleeve that will bo played later. MR. connell's TltU'S. Mr. Connell wus questioned very closely as to his many and expensive trips, and tho following information was gleaned : When did you go to California ? July 4, 1893. Who went with you ? Clarenco Boyer, a young man; and 1 mot George Shoeuor at Uarrisbnrg. You paid his expenses. Yes. That is, not for Clarenco lioyor. How long worn you away ? 12 days. When did you go to Atlautic City and Florida? I have been to Atlantic City overy year for ten years. I can't remember just whon. I went to Florida on the Saturday before the general election of lb5. Iu 1890 you ran for Clerk of tho Courts of Quarter Bessious? Yes, sir. What was your salary during your term as Clerk to the Commissioners? Objected to by Mr. Schalck because it wa6 not cross-examination. Objection sustained. George J. Wadlinger, private counsel for Mr. Connell, sat in the court room through out tho examination. Mr. Marr explained that the question was designed to show that Connell bad been ex travagant. Yourself and Mr. Klein conferred iu all cases before a loan was made? Yes, sir. Wo would estimate current ex penses and current receipts. Mr. Whalen heio objected to iounsl for tho defense discussing the probable effect of testimony within tho hearing of tho jury. Tho defense refuted tho imputation. Tho court said it would be improper for cither side to consult withlu the hearing of tho jury. Did you mean to say this morning that after lb'Jl yourself and others iu the Com missioners' olllco were wilfully negligent in tho performance of the duties? Ob, no. Nothing was neglected. I didn't mean to say that. Only that wo jvcro moro careless. Ite-direct examination by Mr. Schalck Tho preparation of tho notes and resolutions wcro part of yourduties? Yes, sir; after the notes und resolutions were written by tho typowritet I took them to the desk of Mr. Allen, president of the Hoard. He would examine and sign them and pass them to the other Commis.ioncrs, When they had signed them I would take and countersign them, and then alii x the seal. Whou did you write out tho minutes of 1890 ? I don't know exactly, but I bcllovo it was ing, which contract was awarded to ( Connor, of Mt. Carbon. A contract mado, but was not approved by court witness produced a copy of tho original tract with tho General Klectrlc Company and said ho had no knuwledge of any oilier contract. It does not bear the approval of court. The contract with the Ames Iron Works was produced. The contract produced is marked "duplicate." "This is tho only paper boaring on tills contract 1 call find," said tho witness. Mr. Schalck produced tho original contract signed by tho Commissioners. It boro no ap proval of the court. "Under tho Act of Assembly that Is not necesury," said .Mr. Ulrich. "Wo admit the execution of this contract, and the payment thereon. We also admit the contracts and payments with J. F. Huchmau & Co," con tinued Mr. Ulrich. Mr. Schalck asked for tho Joseph W. Geary contract for surveying. "Wo have no con tract with Mr. Geary nor any advertising of proposals," replied Mr. Payne. Mr. Whalen stated that the commonwealth proposes to provo the Geary contract was mado without tho required advertising. Tho witness produced the bills on tho Geary survey contract, and read off tho piyincnts mado tlieroon, tho total of which foots up $1,GS0.00. Wo havo no contract with Mr. Geary for excavating with tho county nor havo I any advertising on that contract. Mr. Ilyon contended that tills bill was no violation of law ; it sets forth the employees engaged iu the work, each amount being less than $100. Tho court said tho matter would be discussed at the proper time. The witness stated ho had no contract with H. W. Johns for asbestus,; neither of pro posals In tho case. Deputy Controller Iiurd W. Payno took the stand again this morning and resumed the dry and uninteresting statement of facts and figures relating to improvements at tho almshouse alleged to havo been executed and paid for without complying with the law. There was a warm light between the lawyers over Architect Wm. D. Hill's $2,000 contract for drawing plans, superintending, ete tho county homo improvements, and it was at this time Judgo Ilechtel gave the lawyers some court talk upon hustling the case through. Hill got $1,02.) for preliminary work and then the Commissioners entered into a $2,000 additional contract witli him. Mr. Ulrich said tlio county owed Hill more than $300 to-day. Numerous exceptions are noted to tho decisions of court by the de fense. , An item of $32 for a kotel bill on a trip to Philadelphia was objected to and ruled out because it is not included in tho bill of particulars. IPHESlDEflT DOliE COjVIIflG Blood Poison. Contagious B'ood Poison lias been ap propriately called the curse of mankind. It is the one disease that physicians can not cure; their mercurial aud potash remedies only bottle up the poison in the system, to surely break forth in a more virulent form, resulting in a total wreck of the system. Mr. Frank 15. ainrtin, a prominent jeweler at 926 I'eusylvauia Ave., Wash. ington,D.C.,say: I was for a long time under treat ment of two oi the best physi cians of this city, for a severe case of blood poison, but my condition grew worse all the while, not withstanding the fact that they charged me three hundred dollars. My mouth was filled with eating sores; my tongue was almost eaten away, so that for three months I wass unable to taste any solid food. My hair was coming out rapidly, and I was in a horrible fix.

We believe that he will make a good Im pression, and that some of the sena tors and perhaps statesmen In mure exalted iiosltion will conclude, after meeting htm. that some of the state ments that have been made to the det riment of Mr. Dole and his associates are incorrect, to say the least."
