Water Line Hursts ami Onl.i One l.ine Is I'sed in I'iglit Against llames. The home of II. Clay Campbell, on Indiana street, was totally destroyed by tire shortly after noon today, entailing a loss of about $5,000. The origin of the tire is unknown. Flames were first discovered in the attic and an alarm immediately turned in. The lire company responded in good time and in a few minutes had lines connected with the plug located in front of the burning building. At this juncture the the water line bursted at the point where it crosses the creek and the lines had to be disconncted at the plug and carried to a plug fronting the J. I'. Wilson home on (iilpin street. Because of the grntit distance but one line could be.made and as a result no headway' could be made against the fliuufs. The flames spreain rapidly and at 1 o'clock; the bi»fu1ing was a total ruin. goods down stairs were saved and the majority of those in the upper stories. The house was a modern affair, and had but lately been repaired. Frank Myers, son of Camden Myers, one of the firemen, was injured during the progress of the tire, his foot being burned and his ankle badly sprained.

Mayor in Conference Hyde's resignation has been in the mayor's hands since Saturday last, it is understood, but the mayor has said nothing, although he held an hour's conference yesterday afternoon with Samuel I'nterm.ver, Hyde's counsel. The city chamberlain's statement, issued after this conference, edicts his complete exoneration, bitterly assails the district attorney's office and concludes as follows: "While I have uo fear or doubt that the whole conspiracy against me will be laid bare within a very short time, I do not propose to have the administration of Mayor Gaynor embarrassed, and I shall at onco tender my resignation." Following the exercises the graduates were entertained by the Junior class at the Enterllne horn. Commencement Kvereises Held Last Night—l>r. Charle* Cartweight Delivers \il(lrc>s.

The authorities are trying to get at. the | truth concerning the operations of a regularly organized perjury syndicate which, under both the Hamirian and the present regime, has made Turkish justice a joke for years past. Investigators of the organization are not troubled by too little, but by too much evidence. Every member of the society is ready to turn state's evidence. Being professional perjurers, however, there is nat urally j considerable hesitancy concerning, the acceptance of their testimony. j The syndicate consisted of pensioned officials of the Constantinople courts. Having had extensive experience in posts of trust the members were able to furnish, not unintelligent perjury, but just the right kind for any particular case and of a nature appropriate to the peculiarities of different juries and trial j judges. The business was so pensive that the management was able  to offer very reasonable rates. Divorce testimony cost the most, two medjidiehs, or *1.00, being charge 1 ; for each witness In such cases.
