ILLusrRATIvE.-The great difficulty
experienced In getting the engines to
the fire this morning at Virginia Is a
powerful argument in favor OF the
proposed new water works and system
Of hydrants and hose for fire-extin-
gushing purposes In that city. The
Saarest machines made out to get there
and throw water upon the burning
building, after it was we'll on fire, and
too late to a v 1t but others had a
terrible time getting along through
the deep snow and slush OF the streets.
It was almost impossible to get Young
America, No. 2, along at all, even with
n force of men strong enough to run
her anywhere when the going Is good.
They only made out to get her as far
rs the Sazsrac cistern, just south OF
Union street, by the most strenuous
exertions, and oven then, through q
great length of hose, she only threw o
miserable little stream upon the fire,
when Il had already done about all the
damage 1t could. Monumental, No. q,
from the Divide, had too long a run
altogether through such q street for
her gallant boys TO undertake the job,
be they ever so ambitious. Had this
fire been of the sudden kind, like the
great confiagration Of q few weeks
ago, and In as thlckly built q portion
OF the city, 1t would have spread about
where 1t pleased, as owing to the state
of the streets the machines could be
of little service. In fact, some Of them
might have been burned in their
tracks, the firemen not being able to
get them out Of the way. The
point OF the matter Is simply this :
with one Of the proposed new
hydrants at the corner Of c street and
Sutton avenue, there would have been
no need for tugging the heavy ma
chimes through the streets at all, but n
string Of hose from No. SIS Jumper
could have been attached In a very
few minutes and put out the fire before
It could have got inside the building.
One good hydrant stream would have
been more effective than all that were
thrown upon that fire. Another
thing to be considered Is the fact
that on occasions like the above the
brakes Of the ~enginesare always poorly
manned, even after getting to work.
People did not like to turn out this
morning, and there were not firemen
enough to do the work. The great
beauty of hydrant streams is, like those
we have here in Gold Hill, they have
no brakes for people to work on. AL
that Is needed Is simply to attach the
hose and turn the water loose. The
streams never get tired as long as there

About 3 o'clock this morning a gen.
eral alarm, sounded by bells and steam
whistles, brought out the entire Fire
Department, machines and all. The
alarm proceeded from the burning OF
the Belmont Bakery, at the corner OF
C. street and Sutton avenue, and owing
to the deep snow In the streets, as well
as the hour In the morning when most
people are supposed to be In bed and
soundest asleep, the machines could
not be got to the scene OF the confia-
grafton and put to work quite so
promptly as usual. As 1t was, how
ever, the boys did splendidly, prevent
Ing the fire from communicating to the
buildings adjoining, although the ba-
kerry itself was pretty much a total
loss, together with its stock and con-
tents. It was owned by John Lam
pert, who occupied it with his family.
They escaped unhurt, but saved little
in the way of personal effects. The
bakery was nearly new II was IN
sured for 81, 900 in the Fireman's Fund,
San Francisco. This, however, does
not by any ear cover the loss.
When first discovered, the nre was
burning under the sidewalk in front OF
the building, among some old boxes
and other combustlble articles, and
had every appearance of having been
deliberately set by some one. Those
who found it first tried to put 1t out by
throwing snow upon 1t, but were I'M
able to do so, although n bucket OF
water was also procured and thrown
upon 1t. Being under the sidewalk
they could not get at 1t very we'll, and
It soon got too hot for them. In a
very few minutes 1t got inside the
building through the front and swept
to the rear, burning everything inside:
The roof and whole upper portion OF
tho building Is destroyed, leaving only
a portion Of the basement not con-
sumed. It would be highly gratifying
for the public to know that the incen-
diary scoundrel who would thus wan
tonly destroy not only valuable prop
erty, but burn a family out OF house
and homo on such q night had been
caught and thrown into the midst OF
tho flames.

A Fight With a Rattlesnake.

A Minnesota paper says: "Last week Sunday, as Norwegian girl, living some four miles from this place, was walking along the road, she passed di- rectly in front of and very close to a huge rattlesnake that was just coming out of the grass into the road. This uncourteous action seemed to make bis snakeship very wroth, and he immedi- ately sounded the battle alarm by rattl1ng his gong. The girl we'll knew that sound, and turned to ascertain the exact loca- tion of her ugly foe, which she soon did, and, instead of running, screaming, or fainting looked about for something with which to defend herself. She could find nothing, nor had she long time to look, for the snake, with eyes glistening and rattles in motion. mouth wide open, and his tongue darting back and forth. was close upon her. But she was pluck to the backbone, and did not propose to surrender the field without fight in fact, a retreat was now out of the question, for the snake was within arm $ reach of her-so keeping her eye steadily on the snakes head, she commenced the fight with her foot, moving it back and forth, up and down in every direc- ton, the snake following the motions with his head to get chance to bite, This performance lasted perhaps but a minute-hours to her-when, by quick movement, she got the advantage, and down came the foot and heavy shoe upon the snakes head, where she held him until he was dead. She then found stone and pounded off the rattles to keep as trophy. There were nineteen rattles, and she says it is the largest rat tlesnake she ever saw" ea.-
