An EagIy Morning Alarm.

Fire broke out sgsin this morning
under the swing holes in the west house
of the Rock Island glass factory, and
spread fast, so that an alarm was turned
in which was responded to by the Frank
Inns with their trained horse fist. the
other companies and the hook and ladder
truck following. The fire. which has
broken out a number of times before IN
the same place, was caused By sparks
escaping from the furnaces around which
platforms are built and upon which the
blowers work. Usually when these
platforms take fire it is quenched with a
few pals of water, but this morning i;
got little better start, however, and an
alarm was sounded.
The loss is estimated st between IS SOC
and $1,000. the greatest damage being &c
the foundation. The building is abund-
antly insured in the agencies Of Hurst &
Donaldson and Loosely & Knowlton.
Tie promptness with which the Frank
Inns were enabled to respond with thei
drilled horse and modern apparatus ne
doubt prevented confsgrstion, as tina
company had the fire well subdued be
fore any of the other volunteers put il
an appearance.

TO the syndicate which has already gone
Gown far below the depths of its
pockets, as it is apparent that the old
Hat rail used by the Union Railway COM
pany was put down more for the
sake OF having it there and to
sell out, than for service, and
1t does not answer the purposes of the
electric cars. The upshot of the matter
is that where the syndicate has not al
ready replaced it or put down new track
with Johnston rail it will be Obliged to
use this kind of material in order to
insure safety. The track from Thirty

Unwelcome News for the LETTER
Carriers.
White il - Rough on the Grey Jsck I.
itMay Bring Boss Wells TO his
sense of Duty

The following dispatch appears in to.
days Washington dispatches TO the Chi.
cago Daily News:
The letter>carriers throughout the
country will be disappointed to learn that
the superintendent of the free-deiyery
system has interpreted the new eight,
hour law for letter>carriers TO demand
90 hours of work for every week of seven
days. He holds that inssmuch as car
rlers are paid for seven days work in each
week and are expected to render service
on Sundays there is only one way the
law can be interpreted. and that is TO de-
mand as much work on Sundays as other
days. He says the pay for Sundays is
as much as other or week days, aud why
not exact the eight hours for thefirst day
In each week? The postmaster-general
does not believe in Sunday
mail service it is asserted. but since
the law provides for 1t and the people de-
mand it he will have to sustain the de-
cision of Superintendent Pollock of the
| free-delivery division. The letter car
riers fought many years for the law limit
ing days work TO eight hours. They
sent delegates here TO importune many
| congresses. but the department officials
say no complaint can justly be made of
the holding that as many hours must be
demanded under the new law for Sunday
as any other day. In many cities Sun
| day is day of rest for carriers, and this
| decision will be received with grimaces,
but it is held in the postotfice department
that this construction should have been
anticipated in the law if it was to be con-
sidered hardship IN view Of other con-
cessioDs.
The information conveyed in the abo We
will not be received with a great deal OF
satisfaction by the mail carriers here OF
anywhere else, and while THE ARGUS
depricates any law that may be inter.
preted to involve additional hours oil
labor, it is grstihed to know thai
there exists a law that may compel the
present postmaster in Rock Island to dc
his duty and not take advantage of Sun,
day to shirk his responsibilities TO the
people Of Rock Island. 1t has for the
plant that the postmaster has refused 10
distribute the mail which arrives from
Chicago Sunday evening, and bushes:
men who have been accustomed TO receiv
ing the mail which arrives Sunday eve
ming, hsYe been obliged under Mr.. Well:
administration to wait until the following
morning. 1t has heretofore always beer
customary to distribute all mails whel
they arrive and no exception should b,
made as to the Sunday mail. AS long a
it arrives it should be distributed in tn
quickest possible manner. Whether it
compulsory that Mr.. Wells should thu
accommodate the public. or not, it
proper that he should, and the late de
cision quoted may involve the necessit
on his part.

1t was at just Is minutes past 6 o'clock
that Mayor Henderson, of Cedar Rapids
pulled the box st the corner OF Second

ute after the various companies came
dashing up from all directions. The
Ones were the first TO reach the corner
and string their hose, and the coupling
to the hYdrant had been made and water
began pouring from the nozz
of the hose just one minute
and Al seconds after the alarm
was turned in. The other companies
fastened to the hydrant on Harrison street
at the corner of Third and at the alley
| between Second and Third streets, ano
soon six streams of water were being
thrown into the air. The magnlflcen'
fire pressure of the waterworks was neve,
better displayed, the water rising into thu
air higher than the highest buildings
The streams were played in various direc
tions, as some of the spectators realized
| to their sorrow, and both elevation apC
distance throwing was INDUCED in. Thu
display was witnessed by an immens
gathering of people.
