INCREASED PROTECTION FROM FIRE.
The recent prevalence of fires IN
unprotected portions Of the town has
made provision for these quarters al
most a necessity in the interests of
equity. The Town Council has there
fore taken the matter up and opened
correspondence with Rums9y & Co.,
Seneca Falls, N. Y, which has result
ed in a contract for one of their No.
I Piano Engines, with folding brakes,
and room thereon for twenty men.
This machine is described as furnished
with folding brakes l6 feet long; 2
brass discharge pipes, with s nozzles
Of assorted sizes - feet of suction
hose and brass strainer; reel for rope,
with rope; also all necessary wrenches,
ETC., etc. 1t will draw water from
wells or cisterns up to so feet deep,
although draught of "a feet is all
that is recommended. 1t will throw
a / to ! inch stream Of water l40 feet.
The Council have made evidently
an excellent bargain, having obtained
a practical reduction of P75 from the
regular price. This embraces de-
duction Of $4,000 and extras costing
36.O0-the latter for adjustments to
suit the hose we have already on
hand. The net cost of all is $3.50.
The machine will be here during the
latter part of this month.
We believe this to be an expendi-
ture which the people will approve,
inasmuch as good protection, as before
stated, is thus afforded to outlying
sections of the town, and increased
security to the portions already we'll
provided for. If these means had
been long since furnished, much val
liable property might have been saved.
RELIGIoUs-Rev. P. L. Harrison
will preach in the English Lutheran
Church tomorrow Sunday at the
usual hours.

Theories of various characters are still circu-
lated and no one seems to know positively,
just exactly the cause, aud probably never
will. The dust theory seems to predominant.
Mr.. j. A. Christian thinks the gas was gener-
ated by fire.
1t is his opinion that the fire originated from
the stones in the east grinding room. The mill
was about changing off, and the stones are at
such times permitted to run dry, the millers
raising the stones as soon the wheat In the
hoppers is exhausted. 1t is presumed that
some one of the millers, through carelessness,
neglected to raise the stones in his charge that
friction was generated, which communicated to
the dust box, the draft from which
is downward similar fire occurred
in the dust box ON the other side
of the mill some two months ago. The draft
from that box is up, and not down, as il the
case of the box on the east side, and an ex-
plosion of the box itself would not have been
sufficient to create the disaster which followed.
But it is the theory of Mr.. Christian that the
gas was drawn downward; that from the lower
floors it passed through the numerous elevator
ways and openings in all parts of the mill,
filled the great structure, was perhaps rar1fed
by the heat of the fire, and which was finally
ignited the explosion following. 1t it his be
lief that the mill was shut down as had been
provided for in the rules which prevailed when
the explosion occurred. The night being cold
the windows were closed and the gas was unable
to escape through the natural openings.

Nan nax,s Experience.

Mr.. Daniel Day, Who resides near the cor
ner of Sixteenth avenue south AMI Ninth
street, tells his experience as follows: Have
been in the employ of Petit, Robinson u Co.,
for two wears Am second miller when the
mill is running; the special duty of looking
after machinery of the mill. Have charge of
the mill when idle The mill shut down We'd
nesdav evening. About six O'Clock | went to
the mill as usual. After looking the mill
over sat down in the Office to read paper.
The mill faces the big Washburn mill and is
about forty feet from said mill. The office is.
or was, in front and has on window en- that
side, and window on the side overlooking a
small vacant lot.
| sat with my back to the front window and
quite near ii, and at my right ard against the
office partition wall was heavy desk. The
first knew / was lifted out of my chair and
hurled violently against the stone side wall of
the mill, and the desk after me; / had fairly
gained my feet and reached the side window
when was thrown back again by the same
kind of leverage, and then the Office was full
of falling aud flying debris; / did not hear
any noise at all, except the cracking of break
ing timbers of the platform. Although some
what stunned did not lose my senses, but
scrambled back to the side window, knowing
that if the roof and upper floors were coming
down I should be safer in the window, as the
walls are at least three feet thlck-the best
min walls on the canal. The walls were vi
brating backward and forward With consider
able rapidity.
When the debris quit flying through the air
I looked out of the window and saw. that the
washburn mill was leyeled to the ground.

ing hour, bills were introduced and went on
the calendar, and the conference report on the
naval bill was made and agreed to. The Dill

was the subject of a prolonged discussion.
Finally all motions to amend and refer to the
judiciary committee were voted down, and

The - Socialists.

1t has been stated in public prints that
members of the socialstic party have been
drilling in St. Louis for some time past. An
interview with Mr.. Curtin, city editor of the
Velks SteDlnl, organ of the German Socialists,
and who was very active IN the riots last July
in that city, and was arrested and imprisoned
therefor verified the statements. He said
some 26O members of the socialistic Working
mems Protective Association, have been drill.
ing once a week in Washington hall, and they
expect to have another hall soon. Their arms
are Springfield rifles. They have but about
two hundred yet, but expect more shortly
They are purchased mainly by subscriptions
but they have received some contributions
from the east When asked what these arms
proposed to do, he said they would protect
the meetings of the socialistic workingmen
from police power to arrest without warrant
of law of men who have constitutional right
to assemble and discuss their grievances.
