That Fire Alarm.

This morning an alarm of fire was
sounded, and on inquiry it was learn
ed that the fire originated at George
Schroeder's store on East Commerce
street, but was extinguished without
the aid of the fire department
that came to the rescue. 1t
seems that Rudolph Schroeder
stood a marking ink pot of tar and oil
on some wood in the fire place and
didn't know the wood was loaded. In
other words that the wood lay on
burning embers which ignited, set
fire to the marking pot and created
much smoke and greater alarm, but
the neighbors eXtinguished the fire
and ended what might have been a
serious confiagration.

a Wicked Trick.

GAIT, ONT, October 5.-Three SINH
lar packages..addressed to three ladies,
arrived here through mail, and were
delivered yesterday. Mrs. Cherry was
the first to get her package, and gave
the contents, six chocolate drops, to
her three children. Shortly after eat
ing the drops all three of the children
were taken with commissions. Medi-
cal aid was at once procured, one of
them died, one of the other two is in
a critical condition, and the other will
recover. News of the poisoning spread
rapidly, and reached the other re-
cepients before the drops contained in
their packages, had been eaten. The
boxes bore Toronto postmark. There
is no clue to the sender.

California Prize Fight.

SAN FRCNCIsCO, October "a lively
five round prize fight, with skin
gloves, Queensbury rules, took place
yesterday, resulting in the knock out
of Charles Burke by Jim Harrison.
Burke was a restaurant waiter and
Harrison a new member of the
San Francisco Olympic club; both are
clever boxers, and at the game 200
sports assembled in the dance hall to
see the fight, which was strictly &C
cording to rules. Harrison weighed
only 1873 pounds, to Burke's $50, but
he was in fine condition. After the
second round, Harrison forced
the fighting. He followed Burke
round the ring, mauling him
numerically. At the beginning
of the fourth round, Burke
could scarcely see, and blood flowed
from his nose in streams. In the last
round, Burke could not stop the blows,
and he was battered almost to insen-
sibility. Blind and bleeding, he sank
into his corner, and threw up the
sponge. There was heavy betting
among the politicians and sports pres

THE FRACTIC Al TEST
Shows That Carrico's Gravel
Washer Makes the Best and
strongest Concrete.
The following letters need no conf
ment.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, |
October, 5, 1883. !

T. w. Carrico. ESQ.,:
We have just finished the concrete
foundation walls for the new (Sl2O, 900
city hall and now return you two
boxes for washing gravel, etc, and
take pleasure in stating that your
patent gravel washer is the best thing
for preparing concrete material we
ever saw. 1t does all you claim for it,
washing rocks or gravel in most
thorough and satisfactory manner.
We unhesitatingly say to every and
all persons wanting tirst-class concrete
work done to use Carrico's patent
gravel washer We are now con-
WINGED that your method of submerg-
ing and soaking the broken stone in
bath of water, they absorbing all the
water, they will hold in the process
of washing, and then giving back the
water 10 the cement gradually when
setting is good. 1t undoubtedly
makes better and stronger concrete
work than can be made by any other
process. Yours truly,
J. =. O'LEARY,
Foreman, New City Hall.

GENERAL w1NGATE MAKES SUGGESTIONS FoR

GENERAL wINGATE MAKES SUGGESTIONS FOE
THE GOOD OF NATIONAL GUARDsMEN.
General George W. wingate, of the National Rife
Association the idea Of there being any serious
conflict between the association and the National
Guard over Creedmoor. General Robbins, OF the
association said recently that he did not know of any
officer Of the Nat 1nal Guard who disposed to
crowd the association of Creedmoor. General Wingaie
said the thing and also spoke enthusiastically
Of the National Guards movement to secure parade
ground in Van Courtandt Park Then he was led 10
give idea Of changes which he would like to see
made In American military tactics substantially as
follows:
consider the acquisition Of the parade grounds In
Van Courtlandt Park Of the most important
steps ever taken by the National Guard. The ground
should have electric lights that those men could
be drilled In the night who could not get away from
their business in the day time But here is an I'm
portant matter which should be considered. Our
system Of drilling is utterly impracticabe for military
purposes. The fghtng Of the future Will be done In
open order by successive lines Of skirmishers In
str1ctors should recognize this fact The Germans
lay down the rule that troops must not be dispersed
In times Of peace, nd their military experts have
wiped out netenths of parade manoeuvres. In
fact, they have reduced maDoeuvres paying attention
to the individual in skrmshing In open order. We,
the other hand with the exception Of the instructors
at the State Camp drill, form men In close order,
forming in line and making changes in front, etc.
These tics are not practicable.
" | seriously doubt whether there is military
organization In this State which can make an attack
such as Is required by European systems. These
systems consist Of successive lines of s1rmishers,
which depoycd and reinforced without getting in
nexricabe confusion Possibly such manoeuvres may
