Shortly after / o'clock Wednesday
morning the fire DEPARTMENT was called
out to extinguish blaze at 525 Wash
ington avenue north. The fire was
confined to two story frame building,
the lower portion of which was occu-
pied by one LiebanoW, a fruiterer.
The upper portion. which was badly
Quilted, was occupied by several families,
who had difficulty in escaping from the
burning buildings. The lower portion
was well filled with water. The dam
age to the building, which is owned by
William Russell, will amount to about
$500.
Charles and William Hackett, bro
theirs, aged 10 and II, respectively. ar
rived In town Tuesday afternoon from
Pittsburg, Pa. On freight train. The

where they have relatives, but Fro

The board Of health has evolved an
entirely new and rather startling plan
for handling the city garbage aud re-
fuse. This is nothing less than pro-
position to haul it to the designated
dumping grounds on the street railway
tracks IN cars constructed for that pur
pose. Alderman Gray and Schwartz
contend that such an arrangement
will be less objectionable to the people
than haulin. swili through the streets
during the summer season. The more
offensive material can be deposited in
watsr-tight barrels, such as are now
used in Philadelphia, without serving
the natural notice of it's presence. It
is claimed by It's advocates that the
new plan will be infinitely superior TO
the use of scayenger carts, and that the
street railway company will not object
to such use of it's trackage On the
other hand, City Engineer Rinker does
not regard the plan as feasible for sew
eral reasons. 1t would practically con
vert the street railway into a traffic
road, which is prohibited by existing
ordinances.
