An AHRENS Engine
ORDERED FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
LAST NIGHT.
The Price, Including Heater S,95O-One
Old Engine to be Rebuilt at
Cos! of $3.50, Which will
Give -Four Steamers.

The Council Committee on Fire De-
partment held a protracted session at
the City Hall, last evening, and finally
decided to purchase new Ahrens
steamer, for the Eighth ward, at a cost
Of 81, $50, and to have one of the old en-
gines rebuilt, at cost of S1,2S0.
Bids for five different makes and for
several different sizes of engines were
before the Committee, as follows
The American Fire Engine Company,
of Seneca Falls, n. Y, bid So, for a
second size Silsby engine, OF 500 gallons
capacity per minute, rotary pump, guar
anteed to make steam from cold water
and throw water in from three to five
minutes; water heater to go with the
engine. They also offered to furnish an
Ahrens engine, second size, same capac-
ity as the Silsby, guaranteed TO make
steam in four minutes from cold water,
for S4,250, a heater being thrown in.
This engine had coil boiler.
If fitted with submerged
tubular" boiler, the price would
be the same as the SilSby. They would
furnish Button engine, same general
size, for $4,000 and Clapp & Jones en-
CINE for SO, 500. The company agreed
to take one of the old engines to the
factory, the city paying the freight, to
furnish an engine for use by the city
while 1t was away, free Of cost and re-
build it, putting in new boiler, and
making it in all respects as good as
when it was new, for Sl,2S0.
The Amoskeag people offered to furn-
ish three size engine, capacity $50 to
GOO gallons per minute, for $4,000 and a
second size, capacity 700 TO $50
gallons, for So Heaters in each
case SIPS extra. They made nc pro-
poSal for rebuilding old engines
There was a long discussion in the
Committee as to which make of engine
the city ought to buy. Several men,
bers OF the Committee favored the
Silsby, as the city had used one for
eight years, and knew just what it
would do. Other members were in
favor of irving the Ahrens, that the
two makes might be contrasted, for
future in ormation. Still others desired
the Ahfens, because it was a piston
eng'Ae while the Silsby was a rotary,
aad others still wanted an Ahrens,
out with the coil boiler re-
moved and a submerged tube"
boiler substituted. On standing vote
between the Silsby and Ahrens, the
Silsby had three and the Ahrens four.
The people who wanted tubular boiler
then lost, and a straight Ahrens was
ordered. The Committee then accepted
the proposition to rebuild one Of the old
engines, the understanding being that
the change in the force, by dropping
the extramen and putting on the eleven
new full-paid men should not take effect
until July LIST.

ant.
Special 7sie5r1m 20 ths Register.
PoINT PLEASANT, w. VA, June 3.-The
reports sent to Wheeling by wire and
otherwise about the smallpox cases along
the Ohio river are greatly exaggerated.
The station agent at Mason City said this
afternoon that only nine cases were re-
ported in Pomeroy and seven in Mason
City, and he believed that report even was
exaggerated. One case is reported TO have
developed in Clifton to-day. The excite
ment runs high and persons living outside
the towns affected are inclined to add 10 ell
rumors
Point Pleasant has quarantined against
these towns on each side Of the river from
Camden to Letart, and Parkersburg has
Guaranteed against all places below Ra-
venswood. The train stopped at Mason
City, but did not take on or discharge any
freight or express matter to-day.
The different Boards of Health will try
TO compel the railroad company TO run all
trains through Mason City without stop
ping. No cases are reported at Point Pleas
ant and the only ground for alarm at this
place is that several persons have been ex-
posed. Two cases are now reported back
of Letart; in fact the first case on the West
Virginia side was back of Letart and was
that Of cattleman who had been at Pome-
roy. He has since died.

Safe. sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met
these three conditions as successfully
as AILcocK's Porous PLAsTERs. They
are safe because they contain no dele
terious drugs and are manufactured
upon scientific principles Of medicine.
They are sure because nothing goes into
them except ingredients which are ex-
actly adapted to the purposes for which
a plaster is required. They are speedy
in their action because their medicinal
qualities go right to their work Of re-
lieving pain and restoring the natural
aud healthy performance of the func-
tions or muscles, nerves and skin. Do

NAMED only half an hour, returning TO the

What He Said in His LIE tier.

what He SAID IN his LIE tier.
New YORK, June 3.-The Hernld'S
Washington correspondent telegraphs
his paper as follows;
One Of the most significant developments
of the Blaine campaign is the declaration
of Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine, TO me
to-day, that Mr. Blaine will certainly ac-
cept if nominated.
Senator Hale has been a strong friend
of the President even while the Blaine
movement seemed TO be at its height, and
his declarations that Mr.. Blaine was not in
the field have given comfort TO the Presi-
dent and his friends. Senator Hale seems
at last TO feel that there is no stemming the
Blaine tide. ! asked him to-day whether
Mr. Blaine had said he would write no
more letters before the Minneapolis con-
vention.
81 don't think" replied Senator Hale,
''that Mr. Blaine has said anything to any
body. | think he is occupying passive
position. He is saying nothing. He is
going to let things take their course. He
has done everything that he can do to keep
himself out of the nomination. He meant
every word that he wrote when he penned
his letter to Chairman Clarkson in Febru
airy last declaring that his name should not
be presented TO the convention.
his dCJiOn on HIS pdII was lOliOWSu ny
the election of a delegation from Maine to
the National Republican Convention that
was known to be favorable TO the renomi-
nation of President Harrison. Nostronger
evidence could DO furnished by Mr.. Blaine
or his friends in Maine that he was not a
candidate than his letter and the action of
the district and State conventions Of
Maine.
''Mr. Blaine is remaining perfectly
quiet. If he does not communicate with
the convention he is likely to be nomlna-
ted, if be has delegates enough 10 do it. |
think he is entirely Indifferent whether he
is nominated or not. If the convention
dominates him he will accept There is no
question about that The only point TO be
considered is whether he will prevent the
convention from making the effort TO nomi-
nate him.

This is a situation which such Ameri'
can statesmen as JOHN SHERMAN have
brought about. The characterization OF
silver in 1872 was the beginning, and the
present Sherman law, which calls for the
monthly purchase Of about all the silver
mined in this country, TO be converted
into 7O-cent dollars, is the beginning OF
the end.
There is not enough gold in the world
to cover the Liabilities of the nations OF
the world, and what there is is in the
hands of the big bankers and moneyed
men of the world, who thereby control
the situation.
There is but one way out OF the diff
Guilty, aud that is to provide a sufficiency
Of standard money. This can be done
only by the adoption of bl-metallic
currency-there is not enough gold in
the world to do il. The United States
is specially interested in the matter, as
the c. mmerCiGl Bulletins table shows.
The government should stop buying
silver TO coin into 7O-cent dollars; the
standard Of the silver dollar should be
raised to that of the gold dollar and the
coinage Of silver on this basis made as
free as the coinage Of gold.
Such action on the part of the United
States, also, would soon force the other
nations of the world to follow suit and
there would Immediately follow sufic-
ency of standary currency to transact
the worlds business on a solid basis.
The platform adopted by the Demo
cratic convention at Weston, in its sill
yer plank, calls for the right thing and
it finds an echo in the expressions OF
several other Democratic conventions
throughout the country which favored
bi-metallic currency and the free coin
age Of an honest silver dollar.
