few days previous and there was
very little of value in the building.
The total loss will hardly exceed
$150. How the fire originated Is
not known. The big warehouse, on

housed a large quantity of cloth and
yarns ready for shipment, escaped
injury.

The commission explained that

that the pronosal measures to "rates j

Possibly and the application be made :
in the utmost trood faith: that there;
is no resolution contemplated in fiie

course will thereafter be pursued by
the State as would he in keeping
