Flames were discovered In the slhclv- Ing by a passerby, who huff-teil to turn In an alarm. The box at Market street was found to be out of) order, and It was some time before the gong was sounded and the companies notified. The department responded and, after several minutes' fighting, succeeded in quenching the flames. The fire did some damage to the woodwork before It was checked. Considerable damage Vas done by water, some of the stock and fixtures having bCen destroyed by the strong streams. One of the windows in the front Of \he building was broken. The cause the fire is unknown. A ease of betrayal and desertion has been brought to the Attention of the police of this city. Lillian William's, a young woman, appeared at headquarters few days ago and claimed she had been brought here by a man named Itichard Thomas, who had deserted her after bringing her this far. The police at first placed but little credence in her story, but it has pro*-» ed to be a true one. The woman lived with her brother at Grand Rapids. Mich., and Thomas was a boarder. The girl became infatuated with him trrrd, at his suggestion and on his promise to marry her, eloped with him. Thomas brought her to this city, wheh, instead of marrying her, he ordered her to beg for food. The second day after they arrives here ho left without telling her. The woman for a ti#ie was on the verge of suicide, but she finally presented her case to the police. A search was made for Thomas, but he had evidently left town. The girl begged for a few days and. finally raised enough money to buy a ticket home. President. Scored. eral Points. MADE NO STATEMENT THE IRREGULARITIES. AN OFFICIAL REPORT. WILL MAKE APPEAL.

The town of Alexandrovsk was not burned. Chicago, July 28.—At the eleventh hour, Johann Hoch, convicted murderer and multi-bigamist, has received a ray of hope that he will not be executed for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Marie Welcker Hoch. Oyster Bay, N. V., July 28.—Baron Jutaro Konnjra and .Minister Taknlilra, the Japanese peace envoys, were received by President Boosevelt, and a conference which lasted about three hours was held. Although no statement was made public after the meeting, it is understood that the president and Baron Koinura went over the subjects to be discussed at the peace conference tberoiighly,. nn$ it is safe to say that President Boosevelt was made acquainted with tin' general character, if not the exact figures, of the indemnity to be demanded by Japan. These figures will not be made known, it is said, until after the full commission meets at Portsmouth. Albany, N. Y., July 28.—Irregularities of a startling nature have been uncovered as the result of an examination of the Mutual Beserve Fund Life Insurance Association of New York city made by Chief Examiner Isaac Vanderpoel of the utate department of insurance. Mr. Vanderpoel's report was given out today. FAT STATE PLUMS DROP The saving of Hoch was one of the most sensational happenings the county jail haR ever known. paraders ray.

Scheduled to be hanged between 10 a. m., and noon today. Hoch prepared himself this morning for the ordeal, after almost abandoning the prospects of securing the necessary $1,00 that would allow him to carry his case to the supreme court of Illinois.

His death was thi' result of a fall lie received While, lie was working "" a farm, his neck having been dislocated. Mr. Hefferon lived for a number 'if years In what was then known as Pleasant Valley Stone Crusher. Mr. Takahlra said they had-enjoyed a delightful and satisfactory visit and talk with the president.' Baron ICii-111 ura had desired to nay his respects to Mr. Roosevelt and fin behalf of the emperor to thank him for his efforts to bring about peace. This mission had been accomplished, lie said it might be Inferred that they discussed the pending poace negotiations, but added: of Somerset County, Was An application has been mfule by prominent citizens of Delaware Water Gap to Attorney General Hampton L.

Fuller, of Uniontown. To till the vacancy in the olilce of commissioner of banking, John A. Herkey, of Somerset cminty, was appointed. The appointment of Mr. McAfee was a surprise to everybody on Capitol Illll, as It was generally thought that the appointee woultl either be Francis J. Torrenee of Former Lieu-* tenant Governor Walter Lyon, of Al- I)r. L. H. Montgomery, a well known physician, and Mrs. May Wilson, a woman of wealth, called at the jail at 10:30 o'clock and announced that they had raised the amount . needed by Hoeh. State's Attorney Healey Informed them thae he would talk to the governor by telephone at II o'clock. When informed, Hoch smiled In his peouliarly self-satisfied manner, called for a fresh cigar, lifted his feet to a table and said: 20 years ago, for Tunkhaunock, where he had purchased a farm. tVom that time until lie died Mr. Hefferon pursued the oe-' cupatlon of a farmer.

Stubborn Resistance Offered. "Tills only proves my repeated contention that I will not hang." "Tlie commission paid by the Mutual lleserve fund for securing the membership of this association never seems to have been received by It. The receiver's reports since the reinsurance was.effected show no revenue from this source. The commission went to third parties, and I forward you herewith copies of contracts and certain testimony taken during the examination which will lay before you the nature of the whole transaction so fatas I am able to present it to you." The death procession was forming and Hoch, dressed In black, was about to follow his spiritual advisers to the gallows, when Mrs. Wilson and Dr. Montgomery appeared at the county jail. The state's attorney consented that the hanging be delayed till tomorrow.A telegram received here last night told of the death at Fort Collins, Col., of Thomas Moran, a son of James Mornri, ot Hushestown.

He immediately accepted, and will take charge of the state department as soon as he eloseh up his affairs at the banking department. Some weeks ago the Water Gap council fiut Itself on record as being opposed to the spoliation, but the railroad otliclals declared that the present opposition to the crusher came too late and the time to object was before the plant was built at a large expense to the company.

Tlie last annual statement made to the department by the Mutual Keserve fund gives the amount of death claims then outstanding as-'$75*l.704.31.

Two hundred prisoners were taken, and our detachment also captured j?un carriages, ammunition and provisions." SPECIAL NOTICES. Lie had hoped that an early armistice might lie arrauged between the contending armies in Manchuria. It Is not unlikely that the subject of an armistice may he one of the first questions considered, after the arrivals of the envoys at Portsmouth, hut thus far no indication of their action on that subject has been given.

The box at Market street was found to be out of) order, and It was some time before the gong was sounded and the companies notified.

Considerable damage Vas done by water, some of the stock and fixtures having bCen destroyed by the strong streams. One of the windows in the front Of \he building was broken. The cause the fire is unknown. A ease of betrayal and desertion has been brought to the Attention of the police of this city. Lillian William's, a young woman, appeared at headquarters few days ago and claimed she had been brought here by a man named Itichard Thomas, who had deserted her after bringing her this far. The police at first placed but little credence in her story, but it has pro*-» ed to be a true one. The woman lived with her brother at Grand Rapids. Mich., and Thomas was a boarder. The girl became infatuated with him trrrd, at his suggestion and on his promise to marry her, eloped with him. Thomas brought her to this city, wheh, instead of marrying her, he ordered her to beg for food. The second day after they arrives here ho left without telling her. The woman for a ti#ie was on the verge of suicide, but she finally presented her case to the police. A search was made for Thomas, but he had evidently left town. The girl begged for a few days and. finally raised enough money to buy a ticket home. President. Scored. eral Points. MADE NO STATEMENT THE IRREGULARITIES. AN OFFICIAL REPORT. WILL MAKE APPEAL.
