such choice company. with a candle
stuck In his ear. Not to make light on
a grave subject there were candles
enough for a tlrst-class wake Tho
Union Market, across the way, also
made q splendid showing Of meats and
| attracted much attention. The mar
kets of Gold Hill displayed splendid
meats, although not intending any
sort of elaborate exhibition In that
line. Neighbor Fox, next door to the
News office, gave the best showing, no
finer, fatter, or choicer meats than his
being on exhibition at Virginia or any
where else. This exhibit still contin-
ues, and all good judges OF meats
should step In to the Gold Hill Market
and take a look. 1t Is a good sight for
sore eyes and hungry stomschs.
AN ErrIcrENr ARRANaEMKNr.-The
fire-extinguishiug apparatus OF tho
Crown Point, Kentuck and Yellow
Jacket hosting works Is the most eff
iicient arrangement In Gold Hill.
| From the immense tank or reservoir
on the steep hillside, north OF tho
Crown Point Ravine, above the Bow
ers Grade, heavy iron pipes lead the
water down to each Of the hosting
works mentioned. Hydrants are
placed at various advantageous points
about the works, aud each Company
being well provided with carbolized
hose and the proper nozzle, 1t Is but n
| minutes work to run out the hose.
attach 1t to a hydrant and directly
have q big stream sent with immense
| force for hours upon any fire In the
vicinity-a stream which never can
tire or exhaust for a moment while
there is water in the great reservoir

| directed aud which Is powerful enough
to almost tear a house 10 pieces or
wash 1t of the hillside. With such an
immense fall as can be obtained, and
a larger pipe. the town water works
and hydrants ought to be more effective
than they are and fully rs much rs
those Of the mining companies We
have mentioned.
INcIPIENT CoNrLAGRATIoN.-An alarm
OF fire at 6 o'clock this morning, sound
ed by the steam whistles and the new
bell Of Yellow Jacket Engine Com
pany No. 2. brought out the entire
Gold Hill Fire Department. The
alarm proceeded from a dwelling or
lodging house belonging to Peter CAL
lahan, near the Yellow Jacket hosting
works. The kitchen stovepipe had
been ingeniously fitted snug and tight
through and against the surrounding
wood work, so that In getting up a
good, warm fire, the aforesaid wood
work got to blazing nicely between
the ceiling and roof where the pipe
passed through. The occupants and
neighoors managed to check the fire q
little till the powerful stream from the
Yellow Jacket works, lea by, was
brought to bear upon the subject,
when all race Of fire vas drowned out
in very short order. Damage. slight.
Moral-Put up your stovepipe proper
Is or stand the consequences. Wood
work ,ciU burn If not properly protect
ed from fire.
