No time has been lost in getting things in working crder and the| force was on duty today getting “the house in order” so that production may continue with only the elightest lelay. The fire, which broke out at about 7 o'clock yesterday, destroyed the huilding occupied by fhe concern, and the home of Mrs. Martha Mc- Crum next door, was of undeter- mined origin. Several theories have seen advanced, the most logical be- ing that crossed electric light wires caused the blaze. Another explana- tion is that an overheated furnace started the conflagration. The estimated loss, including the| home of Mrs. McCrum, will probahly total between §30,000 and $40,006, partially covered by insurance.

He went to the front of the house, thinking that a tire on an putomo- bile had exploded. Upon going to the middle of the' road, and glancing in the direction of the jewel company, he perceived flames shooting from several of the windows. Other meighbors were awakened and several rughed to the Luilding. The fire was well started by this time and was rapidly ghining head- way, the interior belng a seething mass of flames.

Estimate of Loss An estimate of the losses to the tVo buildiogs places that of the Jewel company at abput $20,000 and that of the McCrum home at about $15,000. This was the worst fire East Berlin has experienced since the burning of the Peck, Stow & Wilcox plant about 20 years ago. The sounding of the fire bell on the apparatus as it sped to the fire, awakened many residents along the way and the ringing of one of the church bells in East Berlin attracted others. Practicaliy every resident of the village was at the scene of the fire and it was said that East Berlin has never seen such a crowd as was present yesterday. It was said that one of the big losses to the firm was a shipment of agates, which had recently arrived. All the machinery used was pecu- llarly adapted to the work for which it was used. 1t will cost thousands of dollars to repiace this Huckaback Towels, plain white Hemstitched Towels, all linen and reg. 50c kind for, each. ...

O. P. doctrines could ,not be determined from others not so fiyed in their political opinions may not be re-enacted, is being ad- vocated. The last list was made up in 1914 and has many deficiencies as the registrars were unable te .keep' the list in shape. It is the ; Getermination of several of the lead- ing Republicans to see that next year the Jaw is complied with in every particular as far as caucus {voting is concerned and that a com- Pplete list of the G. O. P. voters is available. As it stands now many of the men prominent in the republican party affairs are not listed. The registrars meet every August to receive applications for caucus lists and after the meeting day are scheduled to file 25 lists of the names with the city clerk. Bach candidate is supposed to receive a copy of the list for use in political battles which precede the elec- tions. The August meetings have been held but have amounted to no nothing in recent years as the filing has not been dons with the city clerk and hardly any one ap- peared to officially proclaim ale legiance to a party.
