A Small Fire on President Street Makes

alarm of fire turned in from Box No. D

Flames were discovered issuing from
the second story of the eastern end
of twO-stOTy brick building
fronting on President street, three doors
east OF Lincoln, and occupied in part by
Michael c. Murphy as a carpenter shop.
The portion Of the structure IN which the
fire is supposed to have originated, was
separated from the remainder of the sec
Ond story by a wooden partition, forming
a room about feet wide and 20 IN length,
where J. +. Sweat had stored about 200
pounds of hay. The greater portion OF this
floor was occupied by Mr.. Murphy as a
storage room for seasoned lumber, while
the entire lower floor was
used as his shop. When the
alarm was sounded the fire must have
been burning some time, as nearly the
whole interior of the second story was
envelOped, with the flames leaping up
ward through the thing of the roof and
a column of smoke ascending to great
height. At a distance observers imagined
that a warehouse was on fire. The fire.

The Chief Calls Out the Department to
Test It's Efficiency.
At II O'Clock last night an alarm Of
fire was sounded from box No. 81, corner
of Bull and CASTOR streets, for the pur-
pose OF testing the pTOmptitude Of the
Fire Department in responding to alarms,
and to ascertain whether the department
with its present force can rely upon
having a sufficient number Of men to
handle the apparatus while in service.
The test showed that none Of the APP
paratus was accompanied by enough
T1eu TO perform the work required. One
hose reel appeared with only one man
when there should have been two.
The fact that the alarm would be
sounded was kept a secret from the force,
and all the drivers and engineers were in
led. vet the time from the pulling down

TEE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Chief Fernandez Petitions the City COun

Chief Fernandez Petitions the City COun-
Gil for Additional Men.
Chief Fireman Fernandez petitioned the
CITY Council last night for the appoint
ment of eight additional permanent fire.
men. one captain for each engine com
pany and hook and ladder company and
also one hose and ladder man for each.
In showing the necessity for this appoint
ment be cited the IRE yesterday morning.
The engine companies were on the ground
with their three permanent members and
two drivers and engineer, and the Chief
had TO depend upon the citizens for assist
ance 10 pat the apparatus IN service.
The main body OF ilremen being Volun-
teer call members there IS no captain TO
direct operations when going into service,
and confusion and delay are caused. The
desirability of having a captain and one
additional permanent member to each
cOmpany has for some time been recognized
by practical iiremen, business men and
the insurance underwriters. Inc great
interest involved demands a more thor
Ough protection than can be had under
the present volunteer system. The vol
uuteers under the proposed system would
be subject to the orders Of the permanent
captains. or they could select ten MEN,
stand. with a compensation Of from SO
90 500 per annum each, and only be sub
iect to call in case OF fire or drills.
The majority Of volunteer members, the
Chief stated, whOdO not respond to alarms
are those who desire to evade jury duty.
With the appointment Of the eight perma-
nent paid men the department would be
well drilled and disciplined, and trained
IN the use Of all the latest
improvements IN fire department
appliances, and would also establish
a day and night patrol in each engine
house for the purpose of hitching horses,
especially at night and Tor receiving any
private alarms that might be sent in from
time to time while the drivers and engi-
neers are i'm bed.
After considerable discussion the mat
ter was referred to the joint Committee on
Fire and Finance for their recommends
ton.
1t is estimated that tine appointment of
the additional force will entail an add
tionaI cost of about $3.50 for the balance
of the wear.

TELEGRAPH BILLS.
The Dispute as to the Tolls Reviewed
and Exnlalned.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-In the report
given to the press generally last night by
the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Com
pany of the conference of representatives
of the telegraph companies with the Post
master General, relative to fixing the
rates for government kilograms for the
current fiscal year, is the following:
In reply to a question Mr.. Whitney
stated that the government received the
benefit of the lowest rates given by his
company (the Western Union) to the
public. This assertion was disproYed by
figures presented by both the Postmaster
General and Mr.. Bates. etc. This report
Is incorrect. NV assertion was not dis
proved and cannot be disproved.
The Postmaster General did not
claim that the Western Union Company
charged more for government than for the
messages of the public. What he did say
was that be thought that the rates of his
order of last year, which was then under
consideration, would permit companies,
not the Western Union particularly but
all companies, to charge more in some in
stances than was charged to the public.
In reply it was said that proviso in the
order itself stipulated that the govern
ment should not in any case be compelled
to pay any more than the public.
AN ALLEGED CUT.
Mr.. Bates, who represented the ''United
Telegraph Lines" then stated that the
Mutual Union lines had cut under the
rates of his own company and had offered
to send messages for the public to Chicago
for 30 cents, and gave that as an instance
where the public had the benefit of lower
rates than the government. l asked Mr..
Bates if the Mutual lines were not sub
iect to government rates and if the govern
ment did not get the benefit of the reduc-
ton. He said. sob, that is theory" l
replied, at is practice with
US" That is the extent to
which my assertion was disproved.
The estimate that the government tele-
graphing amounts to $500. 900 per year, was
made by Mr.. Bates. When asked how
he made it, he said, ''he assertained the
amounts paid by all the departments at
Washington. and jumped at the rest.
When asked how big a jump he made,
he said that she found the amount
paid at Washington to be Sl7O,00O,"
which includes all the telegraphing done
for the Signal Service all over the cOun-
try, and thought that there would be
enough more to make the half Of mil
lion. The statement that ''the bulk OF
this amount goes into the Golfers of the
Western Union at rates fixed by them
selves'' is VIGOROUSLY untrue. For
thirteen years the rates have been fixed
by the Postmaster General. If the bulk
Of the government business has been
given to the Western Union it is because
government officers chose that channel
for its transmission.

When the report was circulated to-day
to the effect that the Sheriff had taken

added that he ought to know if such was

of the affair, but even if 1t were true it
