Ed Blount, colored, awoke about 6 o'clock Thursday morning to find his home, pear tbe A. M. E. Zlon church, in flames. In getting out of the burning building his hair was singed, and It is likely that ho would have lost his life had he slept a few min utes longer. All of the household goods, with the exception of a sewing machine, were consumed by the flames. A vnlunble piano, which Ed fays cost him $650, was also but ned. Ed Is a hard-working negro, and his loss represents the accumulations ol a life time. The building was owned by Mr. G. S. Lee, and was Insure! for $300. The eltly authorities are to be congratulated on the recent precau tionary measures they have taken to prevent automobile accidents. "Drive to the Right" posts have been sta tioned at the dangerous corners of Church and Jefferson, and Main and Windsor streets. Several accidents have occurred at these corners, but the "posts," which once caused a veritable "tempest In a tea pot" here, will serve to make human life safe at these points in the future. The vines on Parker street, which obstructed the vision of the motorists, have also been cut down by the city, and another menace to human life and limb is thus removed. Since the discovery of the leak lu the main near the Presbyterian church, all fear of a water famine in Monroe has vanished. 'Mr. Curtis Lee, superintendent of water and lights, says the pumps are delivering more water than he has reservoir spare for, and that he now has a sup ply sufficient to meet any emergency that might arise. Nearly 100,000 gallons of water per day was leaking out of the Church street main into the sewer, estimates Mr. Lee. Had the leak not been discovered by the city employee It was the Intention of Mr. Lee to secure the services of New York engineers, who have elec trical instruments that detect leaks with unerring accuracy. They claim to have discovered leaks and "steals" in many ciiies that totalo.l millions of gallons annually. In this con nection, Mr. Lee points out that Chi cago has an apnual wastage of 6, 000,000 gallons a year, more than enough to supply all of the needs of Monroe for ten year. rUHTir- M RI ACt: TOKN liV Tl f ANTIC nN l I.KION "Trrrtlilr" Kjirthqiik Shork, IVr. hM Imgiif Ittvp Ik-neat h tbe i Sea. It lien mlrd by Seismograph. Washington. Dec. IS Somewhere, perhaps leagues deep beneath tbe rolliu blue of the Atlantic and for ever hidden from the eyes of man. the earth's crust was torn and twisted today bv a titantic convul sion. For hours the earth's surface shuddered under the feet of Its heed less millions. Force waved thous ands of miles in length outward from that storm center were like ripples on a rock broken pool. Yet only the unsleepng seismographs noted It and . imcribed a mute record for watchful scientists who guard them. j First word of the disturbance came from Georgetown university here, when Rev. Father Francis A. Ton dorf. director of the seismograph ob servatory, peered at his delicate me chanism this morning. It told him of a shock more severe than anv rwnrHiri In tk. I. . n 'year. Somewhere the power beneath the surface was still bulging at the earth crust holding it in check. W. M. C. Melnf.
