Chief Brown VIII Not Prosecute Drummers
Who Sell From Sample.
Three Italians were arrested on Liberty street
yesterday for violating the city ordinance re-
lating to the licensing of peddlers. They gave
their names Andrew sommart, Andreas
Scianiere and Marcuzio sargelo.
Chief Brown says he does not propose to
prosecute commercial travellers who come here
and sell from samples but do not deliver the
goods at the time of sale. Only those who
peddle are covered by the law under which the
chief is proceeding, though he thinks it is un-
just to compel persons who live and pay taxes
in the city 20 take out a peddling license when
the commercial traveller for house in another
city can come here and make sales of large
time here, and pays nothing at all tor the priyi-
lege. Book agents who deliver their books
will be regarded as peddlers under this law and
will be required to take out licenses.

TOO RADICAL A MEASURE.

Senator spooner Agrees With The Dispatch
on the Pending Silver Bill.
Senator spooner. of Wisconsin, went home
ward from Washington on the limited last
evening. During the brief wait at the depot
he expressed the opinion that the silver bill,
as it had passed the Senate, would not pass
the House. He holds to the opinion that
measure providing for the free coinage of silver
bullion, and the issuing of silver certificates
good for the payment of all debts is preposter-
Gus. He recognizes that there must be some
legislation in favor of the silver producing ter
ritory of the United States. but thinks that the
Senate measure is too radical.
On the tariff question the Junior Senator
from the Wolverine State was averse to
talking.

READY IN FIVE SECONDS.
Quick Time Performed by Allegheny Fire
Companies nj Yesterdays Inspection.

Under the guidance of Chief Jones, the Allie
gheny Fire Committee yesterday inspected the
fire department of that city and found 1t to be
in excellent condition. the horses being par
ticularly good. In a number of the houses it
was found that some repairs were necessary,
particularly as to floors, some of which were
found to be in bad shape. The committee also
paid visit to the Eleventh ward and the two
sites offered for an engine house were in
spected but no action was taken in the matter.
The members were almost unanimous of the
opinion that an engine company was badly
needed in the district.
In the inspection the particular feature was
the time made by companies in hitching up and
nrenaripg to answer an alarm. All the COM
panies we're ready within ten seconds but the
best time was made by the Troy Hill company,
who were ready for the street in five seconds
The members of the committee expressed
themselves as highly pleased with the depart
ments shown.
