Sparks From ! hooters Furnace

The alarm Of FIRE from box No. 26. at
Maryland avenue and Linden street,
about o'clock last night, was caused BY
q roofer's furnace which had been left on
the roof of a new house on Adams street
between Elm and Chestnut The fire in
the furnace had not been extinguished
and the gust Of wind which occurred at
that time blew some sparks over the
house-tops One excitable individual
struck the alarm just at tie time EXPO.
lice Officer Mcguire climbed to the roof
and brought down the furnace. Hun
dreds ran to the scene of the alarm and
on learning that there was no FIRE hur-
ried down Maryland avenue to stop the
Ere engines. The latter came along at a
whirlwind rate without needing the yells
of the people who called Justify to them
to stop. Some impetuous individuals
even rushed into the street before the
engines in their wild efforts to bring
them to a standstill The fremen
reached Chestnut street before they
halted.

James A. Bourke Arrives Home.

James A. Bourke reached home
yesterday afternoon. He was ignorant
Of the alarming reports about his
death, current in this city, until his re.
turn, and was very nervous on hear.
ing of the shock given to his family. He
believes 1t was not the work Of a prac.
tical joker, but says there is no truth in
the alleged saying of his that four EN-.
ployes Of the Pennsylvania railroad
wanted to assssinate him, as published
in the Morning News. He saw but one
employe Of the Pennsylvania road, and
that man was his friend. He saws he
knows the man who sent the telegram.
and he viii probe the matter to the

Something wrong But Not The Rule

The agitation being fermented by the
Morning News against the Cotton rule
applying to the expulsion of members of
City Council for improper conduct either
in official or private capacity when it af-
fects the standing of the Council and
well-being Of the city, is somewhat one
SIZED. Mr. Cotton drew up the resolu-
ton and presented it TO Council en- the
9th Of July. IL was read and re-
ferrsd. Tue committee conferred
win City Solicitor Lyman
and upon bis advice amended It by strik-
ing out clause reading: "Said com
mittee shall have power to summon and
examine witnesses under oath or other
wise and shall report their conclusions
at stated meeting" Mr.. Lyman said
he did not think that judicial power en-
bodied in this clause was vested in the
Council and Mr.. Turner coincided
with him in this respect. There was
not a dissenting vote against the rule
either in c)mmittee or Council. When
the rule was framed it was Mr.. Colton's
idea to provide for future Beale and
Sharky emergencies, as there were no
provisions covering the cases Ia the
rules of Council.

The duchess brought her work with
her, and will stay in Billtong some
time, they say. She sings some, and
since her arrival has made the perspira-
ton stand out on the brow of the hotel
piano in way which has alarmed the
proprietor good deal. Her grace sings
the ballad "Sing, Sweet Bird" with
much skill, hopping into the high notes
with great precision and q flushed face.
Her grace also sings and plays the bal
lad entitled 30, bury me not In the
deep, deep sea-" 1t is quite sad song,
and quite number of gents who heard
her at the hotel went down to the bar to
wipe their overcharged orbs on the row
of towels which hang from the edge Of
the counter; also to enlarge their over
charged floating debt at the same time
The duke takes this trip in order to
get much needed rest prior to going
back and at once beginning the arduous
task of being Duke of Colnaught and
Strathearn; also Earl of Sussex after
moons and Duke of Saxony and Prince of
Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha Tuesdays and
Fridays.
On arrival at the pier seven lads,
ranging from six to seventeen years of
age, who had been bathing at the time,
and had not had time even to put back
the cotton in their ears, on hearing the
{ 9proach came forward in full dress
to "5lcome the duke and give him the
freedom of the town. They then vocally
requested God to save the queen, unless
otisr arrangements had been made, and
afterward resumed their bathing.
The military guard Of honor, wearing
brief but highly inflamed coats, now
presented arms, and the mayor read a
short address of welcome, while the duke
was looking after his luggage. He does
not fancy being entertained by the
provinces, and says he wishes they would
let up on it.
In conversation with a reporter he
said: AT Bungola, Canada, petty Off
