ing themselves with and committing
TO memory the exact location OF the
nearest signal box to their places Of
business and residences, so they will
know, in case of fire, where to 90 to

In come instances, two or more signal
boxes are pulled for the same fire. II
ia better to wait few moments and
give the other box ample time to per-
form it's duties, then pull your box,
and both alarms will be communicate
ed correctly. Otherwise there will be
a confusion which will undoubt eddy

advise people who rely upon tele-
phones to give fire alarms, 10 always
call the nearest engine company. 1t
requires no more time to telephone to
the proper place.

CHIEF CLEARY'S REPORT
OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR
THE PAST YEAR.
Necessity for More Engine Houses
improvements In Water Ser.
vice Needed.

The report of the Fire Department
for the year 1885 was submitted by
Chief Oleary yesterday TO the Board OF
Police and Fire Commissioners ut their
meeting. The following extracts will
be found of interests:
rHK WATER SUPPLY.
Iwould respectfully call your imme-
date attention TO tho scarcity OF water
for fire purposes in several portions OF
the city, namely: The entire length Of
Front street, (Chelsea) the Ninth
Ward, (ScotlSnd) the Eighth Ward,
Fort Pickering) the Tenth Ward, and
also in the neighborhood Of the City
Hospital To remedy the above, as
much as possible, would suggest that
you, gentlemen, induce the Memphis
Water Company TO lay twenty or
twenty.four inch main on direct line
from their works 10 Chiekssaw street,
Chickasaw 10 Front street, and
Front street TO Union street, with
hydrants conveniently located for the
protection Of oil and ssw-mils, cot
ton congresses and the Memphis
Package and Grain Elevator. Fort
Pickering imperatively demands
at least fifty fire hydrRnts; twenty-five
fire hydrants are actually necessary in
Scotland, and about twelve in Chelsea.
There should also be an eight-inch
supply pipe extended from the water
company's main out Union street as
far east rs the City Hospital. With
the above additions, together with an
underground inlet from the water
mains to all fro Cis;orns, better sup
ply Of water would then be assured,
and, in fact, are absolutely needed, for
in the absence OF an ample supply Of
water, no fire department can be etiec.
tive. The Memphis Water Company
have, up to date, about thirty miles OF
service mains, OF several sizes, laid
throughout the city.

HORSES.


There are now twenty-four horses
in the department. On account OF
poor condition several have been re-
placed during the past year. The
condition at present date OF twenty
one Is all that could be desired. There
are three horses which are beginning
to fail and will soon be unfit for this
service. During the year three died,
three were sold and five were ex-
changed. The best quality of feed is
purchased. Average cost Of feeding
for the year, per horse, $73. A long
felt want for this department is q

Referring to the above expendi-

that the Legislature of this State, in
levying taxes, have allowed an equal
amount for the support of the Fire and
Police Departments Of this city. The
Police Department have six men
more than this department on their
pay roll, and one siation-house to
maintain. The Fire Department fund
must purchase horses, harness, sp-
paratus, hose, feed for stock, horse
shoeing, fuel, oil, lights, and repair

houses, apparatus, ETC.; pay salaries

NRw ENGINR-HoUsKS WANTED.
In my opinion there should be three
additional engine-houses built, and a
company organized and located in
eacn CT them for operation. One OF
these should be stationed in the
neighborhood Of Union and Front
streets, another PLACED near Auction
and Seventh streets, for the protection
Of Scotland and Chelsea (the Eighth
and Ninth Wsrds), and the other 10.
Gated in Fort Pickering. The area 10
be protected is five and three-6iths

that are being made in the city are o.
a large and expensive character, snd
absolutely demand more protection.

RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET.


My yesterdays report should have read
that the crop reports from North Carolina
were still bad, and TO. days reports. by let
tiers and individuals. are Just as bad as any
received. In fact. the country people who
raise the weed, and who have money to
spsre. are buying for a rise themselves: and
II this were an excitable market, and were
II not composed OF conservative men chief
ly, very heavy boom In the weed could
and would have been worked up on crop
reports. The market Is In appearance ra-
Their more quiet than the past two days,
which may be accounted for by the fact
that sales previously took the cream OF the
market, and SPECTATORS are not willing
Just now 10 spoil their bargains by paying the
advance asked on more recently sampled to-
bacco. The tone OF the market remains de-
cidedly firm. Filters are In better supply;
several old lots have changed hands at l0s
l2c., that will show loss OF 2a4c. per pound
on last August prices still.

BosToN, August IA small yacht

child. Henderson was l5 years old !;
he lived in South Boston. 1t is said
that all the party were good swimmers,
which makes the fact that none were

that no one was lost from the schooner
