Officer Jessrang, the lord lieutenant of the

city hall, was in a towering passion last

There was mighty narrow escape from what
might have been serious catastrophe in front
of No. engine house last evening. Just as the
alarm was given one of the street cars filled
with passengers was passing by. AS is well

should be instructed to exercise more caution
in passing engine houses.

railroad man. 1t is about time that an ex-
ample Is made of young men of this class

and respectable people on the streets.

doing it's level best, and sank into a chair in q
state of apparent Inconsistencies. The at
tendants were alarmed and at once jumped to
the conclusion that it was veritable case of
