"Hello, APPEAL" said Chief OF the Fire
Department Cleary, yesterday, as the re-
porter ran into th9chief at the corner OF
Main and Adams streets, 'you've got me
into nice fix"
SLOWS that?" inquired the reporter.
"Well, your paper said this morning
that we were going to increase the depart
mont by putting on another engine COM
pany. That was all true, but the publica-
ton Of that fact aroused everybody in
town, and I've had about 1000 visitors,
more or less, today, all applying for posi-.
ton on the new company, and the worst
of 1t is that they all want to be captains.
There are about ten waiting at the Office
for me now, but got wind Of IL and am
making myself scarce. But we are
going to have that new company
just the same, and / have got the appara-
tus and menSll ready. All that is want
ing now are the horses, and We expect to
have them in few days We are going
to try team tomorrow, and II they suit
the commissioners they will be purchased.

cock house today fixing q place for the
heater for the engine. Tomorrow we will
begin work on the stalls and the room In
which the men are 10 sleep. The house
will be ready for occupancy by Saturday"
DO you want more companies added TO
the department." asked the reporter.
81 certainly do" replied the chief. "To
fully protect the city from large fires we
should have at least nine engine compan,
les and two hook and ladder trucks.
There should be an engine In Chelsea, one
in Fort Pickering, and another in the
eastern part Of the city, and hook and
ladder company should be stationed in
South Memphis. During the year 1885,
there were pa alarms OF fire. The losses
amounted to 81, 800, $50, and the insurance
was So, 752, $40, the insurance over the
losses being s., 357, 900. The total increase
OF the insurance involved in 1887 over tn,
year previous was g, 1888, 800, while tn,
total increase of losses sustained during
1887 over the year previous was 81, 27l,
7l3."
'.Havc you any hopes Of securing thu
additional forces2"
That's leading question, and knocl
me all in heap. Wait a while, and gi,
me a chance TO worry the commissioner
with my persistence. II there's posi-
bility Ill have them"

Montana's Big Tunnel.

The first train to pass through the
Wickes tunnel on the Montana Cen.
tral railroad, was the excursion from
Helena to Boulder. on the 25th. The
passage occupied twelve minutes. The
tunnel is eighteen miles from Helena
on the branch to Butte and runs
through the Boulder divide. 1t is g.
200 feet long, being the largest in
Montana. 1t runs through solid rock
and its construction cost about $1,-
100000. Work was commenced in
May, 1887, and daylight was let
through it in September of this year.
Trains will henceforth run through
regularly. It is the intention of the
company to line the tunnel with mas.
onry, which will necessitate further
outlay of quarter million dollars

The first returns received here were
from Maple Ridge township closely
followed by Sanborn and Wilson. The
First ward was announced shortly af.
ter ten o'clock. The Third ward can
vass was completed at midnight, and
the count of the Second ward was not
finished until about 2 o'clock in the
morning.
The same difficulty in counting the
votes cast seems to have been expert
enced in most parts of the various
States and consequently not very full
returns were received. Up to this
morning the returns from New York
were favorable to the Republicans,
but more complete returns may result
in favor of the Democrats.
In this county the vote of the Sec
ond ward was surprise to Democrats.
Out of the 89S votes cast there, the
Democratic majority should have
been about $50. Maple Ridge revers-
ed her politics, while returns from AL
pena, Wilson, Sanborn and Long
Rapids show large Democratic gains.
