The Promptness With Which Mr.. Hotoh

The Promptnass with Which Mr.. Hotoh.
kiss Seized the Idea OF n Magazine Gun
New York, July l5-The invention
of the Iiotchkiss magazine rife. now
the standard rifle Of the United states
navy, occurred under circumstances
known until now TO only a few Of the
llotchkiss company. The gun was in
vented by the late h. Il. Ilotchkiss in
1877. In that year Mr.. HoLchkiss was
en- route fIom Vienna TO Bucharest.
lie was accompanied by his wife.
While on the train he fell into cOnver-
satiOn with "A Roumanian officer who
had very pronounced views in favor of
a magazine rifle. At that time IL
should be remembered, there was no
such thing as a magazine rifle IN
reality, at least not a military piece
Military men simply had ideas and
prophcsied as % the future. The
Roumanian officer argued the ncccs-
slJy for "A magazine gun in a most
lorclblc manner, and only discOn-
tlnued his remarks when the train
stopped at a station for dinner. In
stead Of rising Mr.. IlOtchkiss com
planned OF having no appetite and re-
quested OF the ROumanian that he do
him the honor OF escorting Mrs.
llOtchkiss 20 dinner. No sooner had
the l;Oumanian left the car than Mr..
llOtchkiss seized a newspaper living on
the seat. and In less than thirty min
utcs drew in detail the design Of the
present llOtchkiss magazine rife. The
paper, "A copy Of the Paris Figaro, is
now In the Office Of the company in
Paris, and on It's margin are the com
plelc detail drawings. "This is a
magazine rifle. Make il at once. H..
Il. H." Mr.. Hotchkiss mailed the
newspaper TO the Paris works from the
same station, as the wrapper still
shows, and before the Roumanian and
his wife had finished eating Joined
Them at the table. In three months
the rifle was put 20 the test and won
against all rivals. In designing the
piece the details OF the Figaro sketch
were Iigidly adhered TO.

BRACE OF MORNING Fires
The Bellingham Bay Steam
Laundry Again Calls
Out Firemen
A Fire on Ninth Street Occurs
Shortly After But Quick
ly Extinguished
Terrific Explosion at the Corner
OF Harris Avenue and
Eleventh Street

At0 o'clock yesterday morning an
alarm Of fire was sent In 20 the engine
house on Donovan avenue, from the
Bellingham Bay Steam laundry, corner
OF Tenth street and Larrabcc avenue.
There was a quick response by the
iircmcn, and In exactly one minute
from the time the bell rang at the
Donovan station the hose cart from
the hose house on Mill avenue was well
on the way TO the laundry.
The fire was found 10 be In the roof
Of the building, and soon two lines of
hose were laid from the fire plug at
the corner Of Tenth street and LARA
bee avenue, and two streams Of water
were playing on the fire. IL had not
gained much headway aud was quickly
eXtinguished.
The damage done 30 the building IL
not extensive, and the loss will be COM
paratlycly slight Work In the laundry
department was almost uninterrupted,
and after the fire had been extin-
IRE evidently caught from "A spark
from the furnace.
The hrcmcn had hardly finished
their fight with the fire in the laundry.
and had scarcely uncoupcd the hose,
when another alarm sounded.
This time 10 came from Ninth
street, near Harris, and at the rear of
a Ninth street Crib A shack was
found 90 be In "A lively state Of com
bustiOn. A line Of hose was soon
stretched and "A few moments served
10 get the fire under control. The
occupant OF the shack had been un.
well, aud "A local physician had pre-
scfibcd pOulLicc Of some kind for
the patient. He kindlcd fire, and by
some means, ignitcd the interior OF
the building which was soon mass of
ilamcs, and soon burst through the
roof The prompt action Of the fire
department, however, prevented what
might have been "A considerable fire.
There Is row Of small buildings all
Of wood, and had the fire obtained any
great start, n very short time would
have sulllccd 10 wipe them out. The
loss cntailcd by the fire Is Lriling.
The ircmcn did excellent work at
both fires, and they went at 10 like
veterans. Falrhavcn can feel cspcc-
Tally proud Of the excellence Of it's
volunteer department. II Is effective
and prompt. and bears evidence OF
being thoroughly organized
There have been no serious fires I'm
