special meeting Of the Board of Sire ct
Comm ssioners was held last Saturday eve
ming 1t was called at the instance of As
semb,yman Finn who desired to submit for
to demand attention. The proposition now
pending before the Legislature, which has
been reported by the commission appointed
to revise and codify the laws, and which, if
passed, will work dsastronsly to Water.
town, was discussed at length It relates
to the collection Of judgments against cit
les and villages, and briefly stated ,renders
nugatory the special laws heretofore
passed which have defeatedthe bondhold-
ers efforts to enforce their collections
here. Possibly the truth has by this time
flashed through the mind of Finn and his
fellows in the Union League that what
they have been told repeatedly as to the
absurdity of their position with reference
10 the city debt was not CANNON nor in
tended as a SCarecrow.
It has long been the opinion of sensible
men that the city could not always escape
a compromise or settlement in full OF this
indebtedness. They have desired, there
fore, to see it adjusted, believing that such
a course would be both wise and econO-
mical. They have been opposed by Finn
and his Reputation crowd, and have been
denounced as bond holders, Shylocks,
and traitors to the best interests of Water
town. Finn and his followers can now
see who have been the true friends of the
city-and if he and they will from this
time forward abandon their wild and Wis
ionary notions, and act in concert with
those who are earnestly endeavorng to
settle the debt, they can in part atone for
the wrong and mischief which they have
heretofore done There can be no doubt
that the situation is critical. What is now
demanded for the protection and salvation
of Watertown is that greater wisdom shall
be displayed in the future in managing lis
affairs, and that bowling mob of repudi-
ationists destructionists and ignoramuses
shall no longer persist in standing in the
way of Il settlement of the debt

Fire.

At , o'clock Tuesday morning fire
ment of Woodland & Stones bakery. The
fire no doubt caught from the oven al
though the bakery shut down at O'Clock
in the evening. The flames had got un-
der considerable Roadway in the basement
room where the fire originated when the
Silsbv steamer came to the rescue and
was soon playing on stream OF water
which in a short time had the effect of
completely subduing the fire. The dam
age to the building is inconsiderable COM
pared with the loss on stock and machin-
cry. In the packing department on the
lst floor the loss on stock by water and
smoke is considerable, and in the adjoin
ing room the smoke damaged the candy
and fancy grocery stock TO some extent,
The loss by the fire is estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000, covered by insurance in
the following companies: Glen's Falls,
American, of Philadelphin, Merchants, of
Newark, Imperial and Northern, of Lon
don, and Westchester, Woodland and
Wheeler agents; London Liverpool &
Globe, c. Cheney, agent, and North
British, H. Pease, agent.
Messrs. Woodland & Stone consider
themselves fortunate in not having to sus-
tain a more serious loss under the circum-
stances and are loud in their praise of the
they rendered on the occasion.

The Phoenix Company.

The Phoenix Fire Company boys do not
lag in the good work of studying the inter
ests of the community, relati,e to matters
connected with fires. Their last effort ia
shis direction is in the erection, at their
own expense, of heater in the basement
of their engine house, which keeps the
water in The boiler Of their Silsby steamer
boiling all the time, so that the steamer
need not be delayed from getting into action
on account of having no water hot. The
contiVance is a very ingenious one, and en-
tails butlittle expense to run it. In this con-
nection it might not be Inappropriate to say
that the Pbo=Dix Company's meeting room
is undergoing a renovating and furnishing
which will greatly add 10 the comfort, con-
venience and pleasure of the Phoenix boys,
and certainly none are more deserving than
they, of all the ca Sc and enjoyment procur-
able

The Ice Harvest.

The great excitement in town at the pre-
sent time is the ice harvest, which has com
menced here on an extensive scale. The
Washington ice company Of Chicago, has a
gang of nearly one hundred men and num-
erous teams busily engaged in cutting ice
and hauling it to cars on the Northwestern
railway track Tue company has built a
tramway from the bank of the river in
the Fifth ward to the railroad, about a
quart ter of mile in length. and on this i'm
provised track they slide the ice to the cars
by teams in very handy manner, loading
a car in an amazingly short time. The
company expect to ship about fifty cars a
day from here Along with the work the
Washington company is doing the two
brew cries and S. NJ. Eaton are filling their
respective ice-houses. and take it altogether
the river at this point is getting depleted of
its icy substance. 1t is said that Water
town ice, is the best to be found anywhere
within reasonable distance north of Chica
90 this season. There is talk of other ICE
firms coming here to get their summer sup
ply, SO that on the whole there is every
prospect for our lahorine men to find steady
employment this winter.
