YeatarslnY,a Fire.

About 3:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon an alarm of fire was given from private box 514, located at the Winchester armory. The alarm was caused by the explosion of powder in the building devoted to the storing of cart ridges, which was 8 wooden structure and separate from the main building. The hose company at the armory responded promptly to the alarm and in few moments had a stream upon the fire. Engine arrived soon after and the fire was quickly extinguished.
 The room in which the fire originated is devoted to storing cartridges and pulling apart defective ones not fit for the market
 Oscar Lange, German about thirty years old, wasfemployed at this work when the ex- plosion took place.

Public Library.

A Diversity of Vfsvvs-Hon H. Ms WeIch's
 OPfnfOn-VVhat Others Have to Say.
 , A special meeting of the committee on public library was held last even- ing Alderman Barker presiding. At the opening of the meeting Alderman Barker, the chairman, said the several meetings had been held to obtain views and suggestions of citi- zens, but no decision had been arrived at. He said that the committee would report to the Common Council in November. He was dis appointed at the small attendance. Yet he thought there would be larger attendance at future meeting, The matter had been agitated by the Grand Army and the Young Mems Institute and the committee was ready to listen to any suggestion of citizens.
 H. M. Welch said there did not appear to be 8 difference of opinion as to the desirable ness of public library, but no plan had been laid out He thought it should be placed on well founded plan. The city was able to have good public library which would combine other results. He thought that the city, the soldiers and the Young Men's4Enstitute should be represented on the committee. He thought that everybody should be asked to contribute, men. women and children. He thought $75, GOO could be collected in this way. If the city did not care to raise $75, 1000 then the time had not come for a free public library. He thought that for fifteen or twenty years the city should appre- priate perhaps $5,OOO per year for the pur chase of new books. If the city needed a good free library it should be first class in every respect or nothing. He thought the books of the Young Mems Institute if merg- ed with the public library should be kept in 4 separate division.
 , Councilman Wheeler thought the division of, books would not be necessary.
 Chairman Barker thought the proposition wise one.. The Young Mems Institute needed to preserve it's identity. If the pub lie could not subscribe 5000, the proposi- ton had better fail but he had faith that the sum could be raised. Porter c. Moulton advocated the location of large and capaci- ous building on the Green, site that was inviting to all classes. While he approved of the scheme of Mir. Welch, he would add some- kthing to it. :, I Councilman Munson moved that Aldermen Barker and Faruswofth be appointeda Q sub eomrnittes to draw upa report to be made at the next meeting. The chairman thought the matter should be left to the entire committee, and that the next meeting should be an executive one. The committee adjourned to Tuesday even ing, October 23, when it is expected that a report will be agreed upon.

 After dinner Mayor Lewis spoke of the fine appearance of the Guards in their parade, and for one he would like to see the con- pany at the afternoon parade ascend the beautiful drive to East Rock. It would be 1 very appropriate to honor the munifcent friend now gone to his reward, who gave the city the drive, by visit there, and at that time toa6Her suitable resolutions to be made record concerning one whom the company desi1ed to honor. The company adopted the l suggestion very heartily, and selected Ex- Quartermaster John G. North to prepare and present such resolutions.
 Tie company formed and took in escoit their invited guests and soon were winding l their way to the Rock over one of the most | beautiful drives in this country. At the top of | the rock, with the music of the Wallingford brass band floating over hill and vale, could l be seen the horses and their gay mounted soldiers at it's very peak-admired by those who followed the drive on foot and in car riages and by those who heard the music far below and looked up to see the novel sight. After a few remarks from J. G. North in be- half of the company he offered the following resolutions
 Resolved, That the late Henry Farnam by his mu- nicent donation of this beautiful drive to East Rock Raven.
 ReeolYed. That this company has made this inform al visit to dedicate this drive to the memory Of one who, though he has gone from us, will be remember ed and honored while these rocks remain to boar up his handy work.
 The resolutions were responded to in brief but very appropriate speeches from Hon. Mayor Lewis, Hon. N. D. Sperry, President Noah Porter, Major General William Fl. Rus sell and Major H. H. Strong.
 In the evening the Guard visited the
 ''Black Flag'' at Carll's Opera House at the invitation of MT. Edwin Thorne They oc- cupied seats in the parquette and report themselves well pleased with the play.
