AN ALARM AND SEQUENCE

An Cnfmpartant FIRE at an Early
Hoar Sunday Morning and the
Furore it Created-A Happy Thought
An alarm of fire was turned in from
the Seventh ward at AS Sunday morn

company dashed down Second avenue to
Seventeenth street. where 1.-The fremen
were told that the fire was up where they
had come from, and they went back to the
house and unhitched. The down town
companies got up as far as the police
station and were told that the fire was
out. and they likewise went back.
Then came telephone message to
each company that there was fire back
OF the Rock Island round house, and the
up town companies went over and ex-
tinguished fire in some bushes that
threatened box Car near by.
When the Phoenix company got the
second alarm the fremen chased their
horse up Second avenue like a 4-time
winner and pulled up at police head
quarters for information when they we're
told by Night Captain Long that the fire
was back of the c., R. I. & P. round

FIRST TIE.UP.

Ligh timing Damages the works at the
syndicate Power station AMI the
cars stOp-.A Singular second Acct
dent.
The first accident Of any conse quence
at the tri.city syndicate power station
as result of a storm occurred yesterday
afternoon about O'Clock. during the
thunder storm, and the suspension of
traffic in consequence would not have
amounted to much, but for second &C.
cidert-s singular one too that followed.
Lightning struck one of the trolley wires
somewhere in Rock Island. and darted
into the power station. The lightning
arresters were burned out, but saved the
machinery from being seriously damaged,
the circuit breakers being blown out.
The system was Immediately shut down,
and every car on the syn dictate
lines IN the three cities stopped
wherever it happened to be.
After not more than10 minutes delay the
HO'N4 SHl4Nhb was oSalu ssltCueu III huu
the system was in operation, but
the cars had not run but few minutes
when the second accident, the most sin-
gular and serious, occurred. When the
trolley wires were again given the power,
there were about 40 cars at various places
IN the three cities ready to seize it, and
all started almost simultaneously. The
sudden strain was too much for the ma
chinery and the effect was that the en-
gines were flooded with water from the
boilers and the safety caps blown out.
This caused second shut down of about
l5minutes, at the end of " hio time the sys.
TEN was once more in good running shape.
Both accidents were of such a nature as
do not occur on system as perfect as
that of the Davenport s. Rock Island

AN UNLUCKY CIGARETTE.-Theq question
of ''getting place" always brings up a
long list of incidents by which the lucky
have got on in the world and the luckless
ones have been left. In discussing the
overcrowded condition of the city it called
out one story that must tell for the benefit
of the big broad shouldered men who have
condescended to the effort of getting COM
fort from cigarette 30 small that it makes
the smoker cross eyed to look at it. A
gentleman of 30 years, good presence, pleas
ant family, etc., was thrown out of his reg
ular employment through fire. He ad-
vertised, setting forth his qualifications.
The head Of large factory saw the ''ad,"
and thought to save time by taking a cab
right to the number designated and secure
the gentleman's services. He found the
wife at home expecting her husbands re-
turn from down town.
"He waited a few minutes when the
anxious wife saw her husband coming up
the street. The would be employer saw
him also. The young man walked leisure
ly until he reached his own steps, when he
turned his back to the house and proceeded
to pull the very last Whit from the wee stub
of cigarette. Two minutes, three min
utss passed. The wife was nervous. An
other minute and few more whiffs, and
the gentleman Inside rose hastily and said
kindly: "Pardou me, but do not think
wish man who has not yet left off boyish
habits. In my business time is money.
Good day." He bowed himself out just as
the husband, disturbed by the opening Of
the door, spat the little smoking stub from
between his teeth and passed up the steps.
He found bis wife in tears and would hard
ly believe his senses when she told him how
he lost good employment by dallying with
the weed in small packages. Chicago

the party, of whom Hon. II. st. G. Tucker
was one, who escorted to California the
dead body of Senator Hearst, returned to

"The party, though flooded with invita-

they returned as soon as possible and by
the most direct route. Congressman Tuck

Miss Lillian r. Perry, of Covington,
Tenn, has been asked to describe the sort
of man to marry, and gained the prize for
doing so after the following fashion. She
says: "If 1 wished to marry (Which, of
course, do not) wo1ld desire man too
noble to com nit mean act, but generous
enough to forgive one. A man as gentle
as a woman, as manly as man; one who
does not talk scandal nor tell disagreeable
truths. A man whose name l would be
proud to bear; to whom l could carry my
doubts aud perplexities, and with whom l
would find sympathy and joy" Young
men answering this description need not be
misled by the words which Miss Lillian
incloses in parentheses. Anything in paren-
thesis does not count.-Richmond State.
1t would be quite another matter if what
is in parentheses was in postscript, for it
is there that woman expresses what she
really means.
