A Small Fire.
Last Friday morning about, 1 o'
clock the town was awakened by
the ringing of church bells and the
cry of fire, which was found to b.) in
the bicycle nnd repair shop of P. J.
Hutaa on Bioa.l stre.'t. A hntip of
rags and waste saturated with oil
had been left lying in the rear shop
nnd spontnneoiu combustion had
ensued, the heat exploded a small
can of gasolene nnd this had fired
the wholo interior. Mr. liutan wns
sleeping over head and w.h noirly
suffocated before being nwakened,
and finally crawdod out on the poroh.
Tho flamos wore subdued, before the
arrival of the hose carts, which were
promptly on tho spot. .The tiros of
four wheels wore meltjd as woro
several tiroi him ring on tiie wall.
Tue interior of the shop win black
ened by Hin.ikj and charred by the
burning gasolene, and what might
have boon a bad tiro was prevented
by its early discovery. We unibA-.
stand the w heels were insured In the
agency of J. A. Fisher of Port Jer-
vis.
Ths Borough Bonfli.
The bonds offered by the Borough
fir tho purchase of the (ilen woro
not taken. It seems to bo generally
understood that the proceedings upon
which they vero based are irregu
lar. No provision had been made
for raising the amount necessary to
supplement the Mini which was
agreed to be paid for the part lying
in the Borough in order that tho
whole glen might bo secured. Then,
too, tho meetings lit which tho reso
lutions were pnssed over tho Bur
gess' veto were not regular but ad
journed meetings. The boys have
simply scored another tinsco, and
hnve amused themselves with 'the
idea that they were competent to do
business liko men. Tho glen )ma
boon ojtn all summer and perhaps
that is 80H1U compensation for their
antics.

Lyceum Meeting.
At various meetings of tho direc
tors of the Milford Lyceum Asso
ciation, the thanks of the board were

documents ; to Miss Eleanor Gallag
her, Miss Blanche Bidlack, Mrs. A.

About sixty members of a
Brooklyn Sangerbund came up on

by a fair ballot.

We rosumo this week the Wash

Other officials are just as del pi.. -interested
in the suit brought,
against Postmaster General Gaiy
nnd First Assistant Heath, by John
G. Woods, Snpt. of Mail- :i the
I. mlsville, Ky. Post Office, to de
termino the right heads of depart
ments have to remove ofiic.inls in
the classified civil service, ns nre
the gentlemen directly concerned .
A temporary restraining order, for
biddir.ii the removal of Wood was
granted returnable last Saturday,
and directing the Postmaster Gen
eral and his first assistant? to show
cause why it should not bo made
perpetual. The hearing was post
poned one week from that date. A
te.st case is to be made as both sides
wish to have the matter definitely
settled by a decision of tho Unite. 1
States Supreme Court, so no matter
how the case may be decided, tin
appeal will bo taken, and when the
case gets on the docket of the
Supreme Court, Attorney General
McKenmi will move to have it ad
vanced or early hearing.. It is also
expected that tho wise will be so
handled in the Supreme Court ns to
get n decision that will cover other
points of the civil service low than
the one directly presnnt(A by this
case. It is highly destrablo that
heads of departments should know
tho exact extent of their authority
over their subordinates.
M. Pntenotro, the French Ambas
sador, has boon consulting with Sec
retary Sherman with a view to so
curing a reduction in some of tho
duties imposed by the Dingloy tariff
upon products of France, by a com
mercial agreoment between the tw )
countries. The articles upon which
he is especially desirous of getting
reduced dntios are brandy, cham
pagne, still wine and vermouth, and
paintings, drawings mid tho in
ductions asked for will average
about' 25. f Tho President has
authority to grant these reductions
without the formality of a tionty,
whenever, in his judgment there aro
satisfactory reasons for doing so ;
all that is needed to put them into
effect being a, proclamation by tho
President. The Dingley tan it also
provides for reciprocity treaties, but,
they must ba ratified by the Senate
and approved by the House after
they are negotiated, before they be
come binding. This is the first time
that the House of Representatives
has been rocogni.ed as a part of the
treaty-making machinery of tho
government
Those who aro offering to sell tho
information about examinations
etc., which the civil service com
mission furnishes to all applicants
therefor free, have grown so num
erous that the commission has issued
an announcement containing the
following explicit language : "No
person hus any information of im
portance to applicants, concerning
examiritions which cannot be ob
tained without cost from the com
mission. All claims to tho con
trary, therefore aro misrepresenta
tions." Naval Officials believe that tho
sending of the battleship Indiana to
Hulifox to be clocked, will, after all
be a good thing, because they think
it will con vine 3 Congress of tho
necessity of providing for ample
docking faculties of our own. It is
hoped that ft will not be necessary
to send any more warships to Hali
fax to to be docked.
In deference to a complaint made
to the Swiss minister, Secretary
Sherman has written a letter to thu
Governor of Iowa, ojioting tho fol
lowing provisions from the treaty
between tho United States and
Switzerland : "No higher impost,
under whatever name, shall bo ex
acted of the citizens of one of the
two countries residing or estab
lished in the other than shall bo
levied upon the citizens of the coun
try in which they reside, for any
contribution, wdiatever, to which
the latter shall not be liable. Tho
Swiss minister claims that Iowa has
laid a tax uK)n the premium income
of European Insurance Companies
greater than the tax imposed upon
the premium income of American
Insurance Companies, and that tho
same is a violation of the treaty
rights of Switzerland.
Attorney General McKenna will
make public his opinion of the con
struction that shoidd lie placed upon
the clause of the Dingley tariff law,
imposing discriminating duties,
which Secretary ( iago has asked for,
just as soon us lie prepared it. It is
uot true that he has deluyed tho
opinion to await the return of Presi-
j uoutMcKiuley. It is too important a
nnftter to be disposed of offhanded,
even to stop the senseless clamor for
un immediate decision w hiclneertain
enemies of tho Dingley luw are mak
ing No interests w ill sulfur by a
ttlu de'ay.
