Its grandmother, wife of the hotel- keeper, heard it, and, going into the room, discovered the flames. Hurrying from the room with the child she gave the alarm. The hotel proprietor, Wm, H. Gantz, had his hands severely burned in extinguishing the flames, which did no other damage than destroying a | bed and bedding, rere Cash Road Tax Upheld The decision of the supcrior court in the McKean county case is of more than ordinary intercst for it settles that townships can change their method of Road taxation un- der the act of April 12, 1905. It seems that in the court of that county a petition was refused for a change of the system from work to cash tax, the court holding that such legislation was class legislation and therefore unconstitutional. The superior court failed to take this view and reversed the county court. —ice Qfficers Installed District Deputy Grand Master Harry L.
