All the members of council were present. The minutes of the two previous special meetings were read and ap- proved. A petition, numerously signed by residents in the vicinity of New Ha- ven and West Donegal streets, was presented and read. The petitioners prayed that trucks using cut-outs be prevented from continuing that prac- tice. Chairman Newcomer referred the petition to Burgess H. C. Schock as that was a matter entirely gov- erned by ordinance and under his jurisdiction. Street Committee Mr. O. G. Longenecker reporting having oiled Main, Market, Barbara and Marietta streets. That it was necessary to purchase some fine stone at Rheems as neither of the local dealers could supply them wh:'n needed. Also that the Trolley Com- pany was asked to repair and oil its portion of Donegal street. ‘Mr. New- comer stated that while in conversa- tion with Mr. Crawford he said they would repair their portion of the street within the next week or ten days but that the company would not oil. Mr. Crawford stated that inas- much as the Conestoga Traction Company had between 59 and 60 miles of tracks in towns thruout the county, it had opininons on oiling, that they could not be compelled to and would not oil. Mr. Ream reported that repre- sentatives of this committee in- spected the situation at the New Standard Hardware Works and sug- gested that the only good way to eliminate the surface water nuisance there was for the parties concerned to lay pavements and gutters, then the water would flow off. Mr. Ream said they also inspected the situation relative to Jno. W.

The Mount Joy Bulletin A BARN WAS DESTROYED _ BY FIRE FRIDAY NIGHT Thursday night the campers at Landisville had a big scare. At 12 o’clock they were aroused out of their sleep by the ringing of the tabernacle bell and the call of Fire! Fire! and when they looked out of their windows they were greeted by a yellow blaze almost like day. Within fifty yards of the campmeet- ing woods a barn, belonging to Wil- liam Derr, was on fire. In ringing the tabernacle bell it was overturned and some one went to the boarding house bell and its clear tones aroused the farmers for miles around. The barn was burned to the ground. Preachers and people came to see if they could be of assistance, but nothing could be saved. Luckily there was no wind, so the fire did not spread. The fire was discovered by several young men from East Peters- burg, who had been to a watermelon party. They could have extinguished the flames, but two pumps which were on the Derr place were out of commission. The blaze is supposed to have ignited by a spark which had smoldered since early evening when the Derr’'s had a fire. The loss is covered by insurance.

Merchant Marine Service, is home on a visit to friends here and at Colum- bia. He is a brother to Mrs. John H. Cramer, on Lumber street. The Columbia Daily Spy contained the following concerning their young marine: Mr. Vogle recently arrived at Philadelphia with his ship after a seven months’ cruise in Russian waters, including the Black Sea. His ship touched at a number of Russian ports and carried refugees to other ports, including Constantinople. He says the condition of the people = under Bolshevist rule is deplorable. Nearly all of the refugees were half starved, Some towns and cities, out of Bolshevist rule were practically doubled in population because of the refugees and it was difficult to find food for them. Some towns would not permit the landing of the refu- gees, because of the scarcity of food. Some of the scenes he witnessed were heart-rending. Mr. Vogel also relates one incident where he saw a horse, practically '} only skin and bones, that was killed on a wharf, skinned, cut up with a common wood axe, placed in a big boiler and boiled together with a lit- tle corn meal, and after being cooked was eaten ravishly by the half sfarved people. Among the poorer classes of Russia black bread is the principal food and it is very bad. Constantinople is also filled with refugees, but the city is lively and there is great activity. Food is plen- tiful in Constantinople and one can get almost anything he wants, that is if he has the price. An ordinary meal costs about $2.50 in American money. Luxuries are cheap. He saw fine turkish rugs that could be bought for $14.00 in American money, and fine furs for almost a “song.” He speaks in glowing terms of the American Red Cross, which is doing a wonderful work. The American Red Cross is recognized by every per- son as the one organization that is doing more than any other for the re- lief of the people. Mr. Vogel brought with him a col- lection of money which he picked up in Russia, Austri®® Montenegro, Ser- bia and other countries. This money is all sizes, ranging from a postage stamp to the size of an American bank note, and it has very little value. The Russian ruble is worth practically nothing as one can get several hundred for an American dol- lar. Mr. Vogel, who is a native of Mari. etta, enlisted in the U. S. Navy sev- eral years He was abroad the U. S. Crusier Memphis, that was wrecked by a hurricane at San Do- mingo, and he was rescued in a breeches buoy. He was aboard the Tennessee that was sent to European ports after the outbreak of the war to relieve stranded Americans and to bring them back to the United States. After the establishment of the U. S. Merchant Marine he entered that branch of the service and was com- missioned a mate. He has visited ev- ery European country, aix“shis ex- periences are very interesting.
