Dec. 20-A fire started in the woman's section of the workhouse oh Blackwell's Island early this . morn . ing and burned away the mpportsof the roof. As the last of tie 1,000 wo men prisoners were - carried from the building the roof fell in, burning two rows of cells underneath it. That no one met death in the fire is considered miraculous. : Owing to the fact the cells could be opened 'by the mere ' throwing of a lever, prevented many from being roasted alive. -- The fire started from a spark from the tinshop's furnace, and the loss is about $75,000. A MIDNIGHT FIRE The Devouring Element Preys Upon The Grocery Stock of S. G. Roberts At midnight Tuesday the alarm from box No 24 was , spunded, fire having been discovered in the wholesale gro cery of S. G. Roberts on Middle street It is probable that the flames had been at work for some little time beforejtheir discovery for they had gained a big headway, tie boxes and stock in the store furnishing good fuel for a fierce "lira. .... -: , , " . The department made a stubborn fight but did not succeed in controlling the fire until the place was pretty well damaged by fire and water. It not only destroyed Mr. Roberts' stock but the store of Mr. S. , W. Willis was badly damaged ; his goods also being injured by water to the extent of about $500 which was insured. The loss suffered by S. G. Roberts is esti mated at $7,000 to $3,000 and the goods were insured for $4,000, the damage to . the buildings which belonged to Dr. F. W. Hughes is ph; 1 at $1,-500 with no insurance. .The orijn of the fire is be lieved' to be rats and matches. There were few firemen to do the work but they fought the flames well and successfully. They had more than the usual amount of smoke and heat to contend cgairst, as the flames were confined for a loner time between the brick walls, bu1; they were fortunate in being able to control the fire as well as they did " The watir service was - aplendid, the pressure being amply sufficient for the use of the firemen. ' The dampness and chilliness of the light prevented the usual crowd from witnessing the fire. It is said thit only a few others than those directed interested saw it. ' ; ..."

Negro Big Purchaser of Whiskey. Some State 'Officials Remain Over Christ mas. No Convicts to Let. Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 20. Some of the Jattorneys who appeared in the nota ble case of Gattis vs Kilgo, which after four , hearings before the Supreme court finally went off the docket at the last - term were here today, and said it was 'true that an application wou'dbe made for a re-hearing. This will be made by ex-Judge A. W. Graham a counsel for Gattis. The attorneys who were here expressed themselves as of the opinion that there would not be a rehearing but that the matter was finally settled. ' The case against deputy revenue collectors Downing and Stancill, charged with killing -a moonshiner in Duplin county will not be tried at the present term of the Federal court to which it has been removed to the State court. .. There has been quite a run on the dis pensary for whiskey during the past few days; much of this by people from the county and in fact from several counties, notably Harnett and Johnson The town people buy by the pint as a general thing, but these outsiders buy by the quart. . .Yesterday a " rather queer incident happened. . A country negro came in and wanted three gal Ions; but he could only obtain a quart at a time. He was very -patient .'. and so made twelve trips to the dispensary, each time carrying away : a quart and whan he had his dozen bottles, packed them up in his wagon and departed fir his rural home, where no doubt he will purvey the whiskey at a big profit.-; ,.

Czar's Con . trol Lost In Baltic Provinces. St, Petersburg, Dec. 20. Civil war is now raging throughout a wide circle of country in European Russia. The insurrectionists have resorted to firing the property of landowners. It is esti mated at least 1,700 palatial mansions of estate-holders have been turned to the ground. In many cases all the con tents, including valuable libraries and paintings were destroyed with the man sions. ' The damage caused in this manner is estimated at $10,000,000, At present it is estimated that the number of peasants in the revolt against - the government is 200,000. Against these revolutionists the government cannot oppose 100,000 soldiers and many of them are of doubtful loyalty. The Czar's authority has totally ceased to exist in the Baltic provinces where the Letts, who number 1,500, 000 souls are showing wonderful power for organization. They are now in possession of a number of fortresses of that reeion and have clentv of arms and ammurkion. At a meeting of 1,505 delegates yesterday to a Pan Lett's'i congress at Riga in spite of the proMli:ion of the government it was divided to abolish the present system of government and to elect special committees composed of both men and women to take charge of the local ad ministration. It was also decided to furm a general assembly of Letts to rr.eet at Riga, which was selected a3 the Capitol of the Lettish repub ic. All the Letts were ordered to refu3e to pay taxes until the Czar summons a general assembly..

A report by the State Bureau of Labor on miscellaneous manufactories show 412, and that 312 have $13,000,000 of invested capital, 115 not reporting capital stock. Last year's report was by 161, with $5,400, 000 invested capital.' The increase in number is 225. 'These do not include cotton, woollen, or silk mills. 341 use steam power, 21 water, 34 electricity. Total horse power reported 16,000, an increase of 8,000 over last year. ; Num ber of employes reported 37,415 or 20,000 more than last year. Seventy per cent report increased wages. There is evidently a tendencytoward snorter hours. 82 per cent of adults and 88 per cent of children read and write. 72 per cent of employes favor compulsory education. 't AIR FOR FIREMEN. An Important Invention for Protecting Lives of Fire Department Heroes. A Californian, Charles E. Chapin, has invented a breathing apparatus for fire men. It is composed of a hood lined with oiled silk, and an air cylinder, strapped to the back and carrying an hour's supply of air. A rubber tube brings the air to the head piece. The exhaled air goes out by a valve in front of the rr oith. The whole thing weighs twenty-three pounds. The wearer can get only air enough, to fill his lungs reasonably. He cannot use it all up in a little time. A San Francisco man put this apparatus on, worked for an hour in a room filled with the fumes of burn ing sulfur, and was all right in lungs and throat when he came out. If it does what it is described as doing, it is a necessity for every fireman. "With the Procession," Everybody's Magazine for January. Age 16, Weighs 48 Pounds Kinston Free Press. Henry Blizzard, of Trent township, this county, was in the city today and he was an object of curiosity to those who learned his age. He is a veritable midget in size, weighing only 48 pounds though he is 16 years old, and stands 3 feet and 9 inches in his No. 12 (childs) shoes. He is a bright lad and enjoys very good health. King of AIICough Medicinal. Mr. E. G. Case, a mail carrier fof .Canton Center, Conn., who has been in the U. S. Service for about sixteen years, says: "We. have tried many cough medicines for croup, but Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is king of all and one to be relied upon every time. We also find it the best remedy for coughs and colds, giving certain results and leaving no bad after effects." For sale by Davis Tharmacy and F. S. Duffy. Notice I A. & N. C. Freight Department.

PRESERVATIVES USED By Meat Sellers Says State Biolo- Twe Pardons Refused, One Granted on Con dition. After The Moonshiners Stills. Historical In ' spectlon. Raleigh, Dec 21. Governor Glenrk acted today in regard to three applica tions for pardon. He refused clemency to Jordan Jones, of Tyrrell, who , was convicted of retailing whiskey without license and sentenced to three months on the public roads, the governor's comment being that the sentence was light enough. ; He refused to pardon Joe Mason, convicted in New Hanover j of secret assault, the comment being : that the act was wilful and deliberate and with intent to kill. In the case of Claud Boyden of Rowan, convicted of larceny and sentenced to two years and who has served one year, the gov ernor grants a' conditional pardon, on the recommendation of the judge and solicitor, the co-defendant in the case having made an affidavit that Boyden was not present when the crime was committed and knew nothing about ik Revenue officers made a (raid Sunday night and near Wake Forest, after' capturing a still, went to the house of a negro where they found whiskey hidden. This man is charged with moonshining and he made his escape from the officers but strange to say lie came here and surrendered himself to the United States commissioners. ' . The State biologist makes the very plain statement that he does not ber live there is a meat seller in the State who does not poison the meat he sells by the use of preservatives, and that the Agricultural Department is , not obeying the law which requires the pub lication of the, names of the persons who violate it, whether packers or sell ers.

Graphic Account of Duplin County Tragedy. Nick Rogers of Carteret Was Probably v Owner With Killed Man. Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 21. Investiga tion into the killing of Watson Jerni- gan, moonshiner in Duplin county by deputy revenue collector Powning, re veals the fact that the illicit distillery where the killing occurred, most proba bly belonged to Nick Rogers,' moon shiner and counseller who is a product of Rollesville, this county. Your cor-J respondent procured from a high of ficial of the goverment today a very interesting story about this man Rog ers." He, was convicted of counter feiting here about ten years ago and sent to the penitentiary. He returned to the State and set up a moonshine still at Newport, a few miles this side Morehead City, was arrested and sent to jail at Beaufort, where the sheriff allowed him the run of the town, for for which offence against the Federal law Judge Seymour imposed aheavy fine upon the sheriff, Rogers having es caped. He.was so daring that he turn ed up at Newport again and for many years operated a moonshine outfit there, dodging the officers with great skil', but finally waB arrested, and taken to Beaufort, where a United StatesJCom missioner very foolishly allowed him to give bond for $200, Rogers of course fleeing and forfeiting this and his bonds men paying it and the commissioner narrowly escaping dismissal from of fice for his carelessness in the mat ter. V ; . Rogers has a brother who was ar rested at Newport with him, was tried at New Bern, convicted and at once made a break from the coutt house, it taking four officers to catch him.: He ves'sjiit to trie penitentiary for a cou ple of years. - There is now a case I ending against Nick Rogers at New Bern, - The next heard of this man was h e owner of the still where Jemigan was killed. Directly after the killing of Jemigan, Rogers had a sort of row or dispute with members of the Jerti gan family regarding the division of the product of the still. . One of the of ficers who made a raid on the stilj, saw Rogers but could not capture him. The high official who gave this information about Rogers says that he is a desper ate character and that he has debauch ed every neighborhood in which he has carried on his illicit business.
