Calls Aid by Telephone.

Newcastle, April 11.—Three thousand dollars damage was done to the country home of I. W. Cooper, west of the city, by fire which originated from a defective flue. Mrs. Cooper was alone at home and summoning neighbors and men from Cadiz, a short distance away, by rural telephone, succeeded in saving most of the contents of the first floor. The upper part of the house and contents were destroyed.
