FIRE AND WATER SUPPLY.

II became necessary Tuesday in cx-
tirguishIny the fire of the Carey resi-
dencc TO cut the main pipe of the
Lewis water works, and having no
way of attaching the hose to the pipe,
the supply was mol sufficient by the
natural flow of water. But three
things were demonstrated. First, that
when water Is wanted ia case of fire
ii is wanted bad, aud second, that it is
not always possible to get il sufi-
GENTLY fast and plentiful. aud third,
that by a little outlay a plentiful sup.
ply could be had wherever the water
pipes run.
Mr.. F. ii. lewis authorize us
to say that if the citizens along
The run of the pipes of the
water works will pay the expenses
of putting In plugs that he will let
them have water IN case of fire with
out charge. This is a fair and liberal
proposition and ought TO be accepted.
The plugs would cost but little aud
would be good for years without in
curing any additional expense. There
are very few places in Scranton that
have an available supply of water any
thing like sufficient in case of a fire of
any magnitude. Some have wells
that afford more or less water, accord
ing 10 the season, but none sufficient
for a large fire at any time. Some
have cislerns, but they are not only
moi sufficient but il is difficult 10 draw
water from them with sufficient
rapidity. Take the case Of Tuesdays
fire. There was an entire block Of
houses impcrilled, aud had il not been
for the fact that there was a better
supply OF water there than ~ninc-tenths
of the places IN town there would
have been a terrible confagration
such as Scranton has never seen. And
there is no telling how soon some of
our business squares OF buildings,
iammed together, will be swept away
by the flames simply for the want of
a water supply.

TUESDAYS FIRE.



Last Tuesday the residence of Mr.
VI. V. u. Carey, on Krcl,s avenue
was entirely destroyed by fire. Tn,
fire first attracted attention by a
dark, heavy volume Of smoke risin:
from Ike real OF the building auoul
the kitchen at about Ii 80 a. m. The
alarm was quickly given, the hell
rang up the tremcn, who, in hot
haste, brought the engine in its place.
But with all their quick work in get
ting ready, which required but a lew
minutes, they found that the flames
were already beyond their control.
Bat there was need for work, and
that quick and effective, as the resi-
dence OF Mr.. +. ID. Becht, which was
only q feet west OF that of Mr.. Carey,
and by aso of its close proximity TO
u number of other buildings, all of
wood, there was about $4,000 worth
property IN imminent peril. Citizens
and tircmen rushed into both build
ings and in the shortest time possible
almost every piece of household fur
niturc in them was safely landed in
the street.
And then followed some of the
most heroic work and u%nflinching
courage that was ever witnessed in
this town. Though the heat was so
intense as to drive the large gather
ing OF spectators clear across the street
10 the green on the opposite side, the
brave fire boys kept their posts be-
tween the burning heap and the
Becht building, some managing the
hose, some showing the burning tim
bers TO the westward, some heaving
water ovc the Bccht roof, running
up and down the steep roof and perch
ing on the very combing amid heat
that was parchnng them almost be-
yond endurance, and others knocking
supports from under the building,
etc. This lasted about one hour, but
the boys never let up until they had
performed, to the surprise of every
onr, the wonderful feat, considering
their facilities the flames To
the Carey building. We should be
glad TO publish a list of some young
heroes who deserve special mention.
but there were so many that we could
never be sure that we had them all
credited as they deserve.
A dispatch was sent to Moss Point
calling for help and in a very short
time the Moss Point Steam Fire Com
pany arrived and placed their hand
some steam engine in position. The
danger was then about over, but the
big engine did valiant service in
cooling off the hot embers 10 u condi-
ton of safety and comfort 10 the
neighbors. The Moss Point Compa-
ny was complimenled on the prompt
ness with which il responded TO the
call.
Mr.. Carey was covered by some IN
surance, but we have not learned the
amount as Mr.. Carey himself was
away at Healing Springs at the time
of the fire, being IN bad health. Mr..
Bccht was insured in The Royal Insur-
ance Company of Liverpool for $500,
which will more than cover his par
tial loss or damage TO his house.
Most OF Mr.. Carey's furniture was
rescued from the flames.

A Great Deal Of Metal to Make
One Soul. s--

Great men are often inspired to
great deeds by great necessities.
On the contrary, probably, little
men are often conspired to little
deeds by small necessities. This
probably accounts for the price of
Minnesota Legislators getting down
to S25 a head. There is an awful
chasm lying between the patriot
burning for justice to the Cypress,
ed, his soul afame with worthy
motives and that little hungry
God-forsaken soul that futtered
around the capitol for three
months in search of something
small enough and mean enough to
swallow. We speak Of one soul
for it took one hundred of the one
hundred and sixteen, in the house,
to melt into one bullet be-
fore you could count one soul for
the hundred. Great Vest.

Wrong to a Capable Official.

The utter failure of, the legisla-
ture during the past two sessions
to make any sensible provision for
the inspection of oil consumed in
this State offers fair demonstra-
ton Of the general lack of capacity
shown by that department. Of our
State government. Indeed the at
titude of the legislature of 1889 as
we'll as that of 1891 toward this
subject has been one Indicating not
only lack of ability and willingness
to deal intelligently with simple
subject Of public concern, but has
proven the readiness of both bodies
to surrender the best interests of
the public to considerations Of per-
sonal and political spite and ill-will.
There does not appear to have
been any real animating purpose
in the minds of the members of
either body except to deprive the
incumbent Of the office Of oil in
spector Of the compensation which
the law provided for him. Not
only was this done, but MI. Mich
OILS, by the action Of the Legislature
Of 1889, was compelled to look for
his compensation elsewhere than
from the State, by which he was
employed. It was uninteligent
and foolish enough that the fees Of
the Office Of oil inspector should
have been abolished without any
provision whatever being made for
the payment Of the services of the
oil Inspector and his assistants, but
when that line of policy has been
followed up by the casting Of i'm
putations upon that official, as the
result of a star chamber investiga-
ton, as was done during the pres
ent session Of the Legislature, such
conduct is beyond all apology.
Briefly stated, we believe the sit
uation to be that the law provides
peremptorily for the inspection Of
oils, but makes no provision what
ever for the payment Of the ex-
pense of such inspection. It.con-
! tinues the existence Of the oil in

PRCEToN MILE Laos COUNTY MINNESOTA THURSDAY MAY = 1891

Bill was a fluent conversational
ist. He spoke rapidly and told
Mr.. Lincoln that we came all the
way from Minnesota; that we had
enlisted in April, came to Wash
ington in June, got whipped like
- in July at Bull Run, and had
not received a dollar Of pay or a
suit Of good clothes from the
United States government since
our term of service commenced.
Mr.. Lincoln listened without
the slightest Impotence. When
Bill had finished bis story he said:
ooh, yes. You are of Col. Cor
mans regiment, and made most
gallant record at Bull Run. Well,
now, boys, you 60 back to camp
and tell your commander that be-
fore shutdown tonight the quarter
master will have clothing at your
camp for you. Do you have
enough to eat?''
eyes, enough in quantity; but
an almighty poor quality" re-
sponded Bill. The president
smiled.
ssAnd you may also say to them
that before next Saturday night
the paymaster will visit them and
pay off all arrearages.''
The men touched their hats,
thanked the president, and were
turning away.
by the way, hoys,'' said the
president, turning again, to the
squad. ''If you happen to see a
party of soldiers anywhere on the
avenue with clean, bright guns and
fixed bayonets, you will doubtless
understand that it is what is called
the PATROL. They are liable to
make it very unpleasant for SOL
.diers who do not happen to have
written permission to leave camp.
Of course, you all have passes,
buff you should lose them, be
very careful and give those fellows
a wide berth and get back to
your camp as rapidly as possible?''
Mr.. Lincoln turned and disap-
peared in the war department
building, followed by three royal
cheers from a little squad of SOL
diers whose honest affection he had
taken captive forever.
At least one Of the squad took the
presidents advice, and returned
forthwith to camp. But Bogus
Bill remained away from the regi-
ment until that $40 was expended
in hilarious dissipation. Three
days afterwards he rejoined his
command at Brightwood, and
marched from there to Edwards
ferry tied ANONYMOUSLY at the
tail-board of an army wagon fol
being absent at roll call without 6
pass. But he swears to this day
that his one interview with ''Olc
Abe" was worth more than the
! price it cost him.
