The Protection OF Water Pines.

The advanced season lends special
interest to notice just issued by the
Boston Manufacturer Mutual Fire
Insurance Company, calling attention
to the precautions which are necessary
to protect FIRE apparatus against cold
weather during the coming winter.
Not only is large amount of dam
ago done to FIRE apparatus by frees
ing, but there have be.n numerous
instances in which cold weather has
i"terfeted with proper action OF some
portions Of the apparatus, ard these
difficulties woul>.. have been to a large
extent avoidable. 1t is not that the
damage caused BY frost may be limited
to the portion Of the apparatus in.
jured, but in many instances break
ages of this nature affect the whole
fire protective system, end in some
instances sufficiently to prevent its
efficient use.
The notice in question points out
that in the course of this precaution.
ary work for the winter, all hydrants
and valves should be carefully exam
ined and oiled, preferably with some
heavy mineral oil which will not cor,
rode the brass. All hydrants on
stand pipes and all "Y" or branch
hydra"ts should be opened after the
pipes are emptied, to let out any en-
trapped water which may have leaked
past the valve when the pipes were
full, care being taken that the drip
valves Of the post hydrants are in good
condition.
In addition to the above precau.
tons to be taken with the mains, con.
sumers should see that their service
pipes are protected against cold. A
little time and perhaps - or 50 spent
now in putting manure around the
pipes where they come out of the
ground, or even in wrapping cloths
secured with stout twine around them,
may save much Inconvenience aud
many q plumbers bill.

Eruption OF the Skin Cur:d.

Ed. Venney, Brockville, Ontario
Canada, says:
~ have used BRANDRETu's PILLS
tor the past fifteen years, and think
them the best cathartic and anti
bilious remedy known. For some
five years suffered with an eruption
OF the skin that gave me great pain
and annoyance. l tried different
blood.rcmedies, but, although gaining
strength the itching was unrelieved.
| finally concluded to take thorough
course Of BRANDRErH's PILLS. |
took six each night for four nights,
then five. four, three, two, lessening
each time by one, and then for one
month took ono every night, with tn.
happy result that now my skin Is per-
fectly clear and has been so ever
since"

"A notable thing about the sit.
nation is that not single prominent
Republican who has been to Wash.
ington since the election feels any
alarm about the result in 1892; with.
out exception they are OF the opinion
that the diss abstraction in the Repub.
lican ranks which enabled the Demo
Gratis to elect such large number of
Representatives in the North, will
have entirely disappeared before the
opening of the rational campaign.
This is certainly encouraging.

Speaking of the campaign 70,
the Speakership OF the next House
1t is already in full blast here, and
owing to the large and unwieldy
majority that the Democrats will
have. it promises to be unusually hot
and exciting. For the first time in
thirty years the Northern Democrats
will find themselves able to control
the House, if necessary. without the
aid of single vote fom the Southern
States, and that they will attempt to
elect q Northern Democrat Speaker
Is well-nigh certain. The Southern
Democrats have SO long regarded the
Speskership of the House as their
special perquisite, when the Demo.
Gratis controlled the House, that they
are not at all disposed to give it up,
and will not without making a most
hitter fight. Already they are arguing
that among the Democratic Repre-
sentatives elected from the Northern
States there is no man who possesses
parliamentary knowledge and lepisla-
tive experience necessary to make
successful Speaker of the House, and
up to this time the argument has been
an unanswerable one. Neither
Bynum of Indiana nor Springer of
illinois. both Of who m are candidates,
can hope to secure the solid support
OF the members from the Northern
States, and without it they cannot
win. Mills, of Texas. Crisp and
Blount of Georgia, Breckenridge Of
Kentucky. Hatch, of Missouri, and
Wilson Of West Virginia, are already
in the field as Southern candidates.

With her blonde back hair and eyes Of blue;
But. alas! our life Is but SPAN

SUICIDE IN A HOTEL
"Murderer John Smith" Puts an End to
His Life.

John h. Smith, giant oil-well driller, COM
mitted suicide at O'Clock yesterday morning
by tying fire escape rope around his neck and
swinging himself out of the third-story win
dow OF Boley's Hotel, on Diamond street, Pitts
burg The noise of his dead body swinging
against one Of the windows led to the discovery
OF the act. Smith was six feet three inches in
height, and was known throughout the oil
country as Murderer John Smith" He was
very gloomy at all times and other drillers
would not work with him. as he was looked
upon as Jonah. Many years ago he and a
companion, while intoxicated, killed man at
Edenburg, Clarion county. Smith turned
states evidence and was released. His COM
panion fled and was never captured Ever
since Smith was said to have been haunted by
the ghost of his victim. and has attempted to
commit suicide in several different ways. Once
he tried to shuttle on by the aid of a can of
dynamite, but was caught and his life saved.
Another time he contemplated self-destructlon
ana three revolvers were taken from him.
Again he walked into the river, but the cold
water caused him to relent. He tried to borrow
u revolver from the clerk of another hotel than
the one at which lie was stopping. but was re-
fused. Then he went to Boley's and hanged
himself

Saturday afternoon in the capture of Curly"
Harris, an alleged Philadelphia crook, who,

name" of Henry Abrams. Henry Miller is one
of his aliases and Jack Davis is another. He
is said to be member of notorious gang of
Philadelphia thieves and it is stated that he is
wanted in Trenton On charge Of safe rob-
blng.
When the circus was here last week Mr. War
rem J. Collamer's pocket was picked of gold
watch and Abrams was at once suspected. De-
tective Block went to the circus to arrest the
man with many aliases. but he WAS not to be
found. and it was not until Saturday afternoon
that the detective saw him. He was standing
on ID street at the time III conversation with an
other person. He saw the officer approaching
but the latter was too near him and finding es-
cape impossible he attempted to hand watch
over to the person to whom he was talking. lie
was too slow and the officer arrested him with
the watch i'll his hand. 1t proved to be the
one that was taken from Mr.. Collamer's pocket
and the prisoner was locked up charged with
larceny from the person.

"SkID" TAYLOR IN JAIL.
The Man Charged With killing Special
Officer Reddick is Badly Frightened.

''Skid" Taylor was badly frightened negro
Saturday. As published in The STAR that day,
he was given preliminary examination before
the coroner and was held for the killing of
Special Policeman Reddick. After being held
for the killing he was driven to Nephew's pho
tograph gallery, where an excellent likeness
OF him was obtained. Then he was taken to
police headquarters, where Clerk German so
badly frightened him that he came near faint
ing. As soon as the prisoner reached the de-
tective Office the handouts we're removed from
his wrists and he was ushered into the back
room. On the wall he saw the cross-like fixture
that is used in taking measurements under
the Bertillion system. The prisoner
stood against the cross with outstretched
arms until the measurement had been
obtained. He showed evidences of
fear, although he kept quiet. His hands
were measured and then he had to take off his
shoes to have his feet measured. That was all
right SO far Skid was concerned but the
job was unpleasant for the clerk.
Finally the caliper compasses were brought
into use and then the prisoner trembed. The
coinpasses were put about his head and he
almost dropped to the floor. He tried to beg
the clerk not to kill him, but he could not
speak for minute or two. The clerk finally
finished his task and the prisoner was sent to
Jail.
Taylor lived at 1860 Madison street and not
at No. 1852 as published.
