Fire Matters.

The Committees of the Water Witch
and Fame Hose Fire Companies are
pushing ahead the arrangements for the
contemplated trip TO Hagerstown and
Frederick, Md. Both Companies will
endeavor to make as fine display as posi-
ole in order not only to bring credit up
on themselves, but upon the department.
of our city.
The Reliance Fire Company has extend
ed an invitation to a company of the
same name at Bethlehem, Pa, to visit
them. The visitors disire to arrive here
on Friday, October Isl and return home
on the following day. In view of the
fact that the Water Witch and Fam.
Hose go away in October it would occa-
sion two paradts one upon the occasion OF
the visit of the Bethlehem any and
the othe upon the return of the home CON-
panics from their visit. In order to
avoid this If possible a Committee of the
Reliance met the joint Committee of the
Water Witch and Fame Hose last even
ing at the Water Witch Engine Hoase.
No definite action was taken, but the
proposition seemed TO be that the Reli.
ance should endeavor to get their visitors
to postpone their trip until Friday,
October 22nd the day upon which the
two home companies would return from
their visitsthus making one parade.
The other proposition was for the two
home companies to arrive at an early
hour in the afternoon, and thereby
avoid night parade. Another meeting
