Keviess Fire-AIarm Boxes,

The new keyless fre-alarm boxes recent
" placed at the corner on Main street at
Ninth and Twelfth seem destined to
cause trouble. These stations are so ar
ranged that when the door is opened @
gong is set ringing TO warn all near. This,
IL ia thought, will prevent tamperng.
The experience thus far has been that in
stead of pulling down the hook, as in the
other boxes, the would-be sender of an
alarm takes up the idea that the ringing Of
the gong shows that an alarm has been
sent in, and does not pull down the hook
as he should. This was the case Friday
on FIRE. d but for the fact that No. en-
gine-house was near the result might have
been serious.

dition. The physician found that he was
afflicted with complication of diseases,
resulting primarily from serious de-
rangement of the bowels. Acting on the
physcian's advice, he returned to hls
family in this city and yielded himself en-
tirely 10 medical treatment. Absolute
quiet and rest was strictly enioined and
his official duties were lightened as much
as possible.
MS CASE HOPELESS.
Notwithstanding the fact that he re-
ceived tae benefit OF the most careful
nursing end the most skilful medical at
tendance steady and uninterrupted de
cline was observed, andi was seen several
weeks ago that his case was hopeless one.
DIR. Ward has been almost constantly IN
attendance upon him since his return from
New York, and during the last few weeks he
has been assisted in his treatment by DR.. N.
=. Lincoln, of this city. There wasa change
for the worse in the Senator's condition
day or two since aud he grew weaker and
weaker until about o'clock this evening.
when he passed into a state of coma, from
which he did not again rouse. He will be
