The apparatus of the department
consists of three hose carriages, one
chemical engine, one hook and ladder
truck and ladders and leather buck
cts, and six Babcock fire eXtinguish-
ers. Since our last report there has
been purchased eleven hundred feet
of first-class rubber hose at cost Of
s. 100, and two; nozIles and play
pipes at a cost of $54, and rubber
coats, mitteI,s and caps at cost of
$219, and six hydrant wrenches at a
cost OF $14.75.
Including the new hose there is
now 1000 feet OF rubber hose in good
condition and 1850 feet OF cotton
hose in good condition, all 21Aa-inch
hose. Also, $50 feet OF 1-inch rubber
hose in good condition. making a
total OF 5000 feet of good hose.
The fire alarm system has been
changed and repaired and is now in
good working order.
desire also to state that the de-
partment, believe, was never in bet
ter working order than at the pres
ent time All factional feeling has
been eliminated and the members re-
spond promptly to all calls upon
them and performing the work re-
quired with skill and endurance OF
tried firenen equal, think, to any
salaried fire department in the state.
At the present time there are 73
hydrants in use and six miles OF
mains. The water company has al
ways responded promptly at the
alarm of fire and has given us iinme-
diately ample water and pressure
and this fact has<in no small degree
contributed to the efficiency of the
department. In factit was necessary
for me to request the electric and
water company to reduce their fire
pressure somewhat as the streams
were stronger than necessary render
ing tho handling OF nozzles by the
fire1nen too difficult.
I desire in conclusion to extend my
thanks to his honor the Mayor, to
your honorable body and to all city
officers for uniform courtesy and
kindness. To Assistant Chiefs
Gaethke and Lyon are due my
thanks for their assistance during
the year, and of the department at
large one and all, for their faithful
performance OF duty and manly
behavior, and steadfast devotion.
I can say nothing but praise.

A Mysterious Death,

Sullivan received the following tele-
gram from Clearwater:
CLEARWATER, Minn., May 18th,
1893. John D. Sullivan, County At
torney, st. Cloud, Mimi:
Have coroner come on afternoon
train to hold inquest. Girl found
dead here.
MIKE LARKIN.
From othera sources it, is learned
that great excitement prevails in the
village over the discovery. Assnear
as can be ascertained Larkin, who
sent the above telegram, is the foster
father of the girl who was found dead.
near his house. He is farmer and
lives about five miles from Clear
water, in the town Of Lynden. Last
night he sent the girl out after the
COWS. She did not return, and later
he went in search of her. In a short
time he found her in the road dead.
Larkin is reported as attributing her
death to heart disease.
There are other stories told about
the case at Clearwater, however,
which, together With the telegram,
has caused the County Attorney to
Investigate the case-St Cloud
Times.
A New Clause In the Law Needed,
aAr Incident occurred today which
we'll illustrates the disappointments
of this life and the futility OF human
hopes.
He worked in the big saw mill and
had just procured marriage license
and was about to enter in the enjoy
ment of connubial felicity, when. all
on account Of a luckless hole in his
trousers pocket he lost said marriage
license somewhere within the
precincts Of the Mississippi addition.
unless perclance it blew into the
waters OF the great river which
washed it's shores and is now on it's
way to join the ocean. And this
seems quite probable since a party
of two of the most forlorn creature
one often sees were out hunting
bright and early for it, but all efforts
were fruitless.
The case is quite a sad one since
the other expenses incident to getting
married consumed all the money of
the last payment, and now lie will
have to wait until next pay day
before the rOseate dreams that fitted
through his fertile imagination will
be realized.
This is case where the law re-
quiring marriage licenses works
great hardships, and it ought to
provide for the issuance of duplicate
in such cases, to the end that no such
deferment o1 bright hopes may be
rendered necessary.
Washington dispatches inform us
that democrats are trying to get to-
getber on the money question so as to
avoid a disruption in the party upon
the currency. It is stated that the
repeal Of the Sherman law wi also
be accompanied by repeal of the 10
per cent tax on state banks, and that
an income tax will also be levied.
That ought to be a slight consolation
to the ofice-seekers who were ordered
out of Washington by the president
If they don't have any Income they
won't be taxed so heavily. Still the
profanity all along the democratic
line is quite audible. With such al
aching void in the recesses Of the dem
) ocratic stomach, no such compromise
!. will be wholly satisfactory. ?

Our Watering Pla ces.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com.
pany comes to the front promptly and
says that it means to adopt our suggestion
about selling round-trip tickets to the
exposition good for ~stop-overs" going to
or coming from Chicago. THIS will prove
to be OF vast benefit 10 the watering places
of the two Virginias, and We trust will not
only assure the presence at them OF their
hdbtleS, but of many transient guests also.
We had expected this of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Company. 1t is proycrbiil for
its accommodating disposition.
While tins arrangement will be of espe-
cial advantage TO the people of Richmond,
Norfolk. and Petersburg, It ought also to
prove a drawing card with North and
South Cnrolinians. Many of them, we
know, going to or coming from Chicago
would like to linger a few days at our
famous springs.
No doubt other roads will now do with
respect 10 "stop-overs " as we are assured
that 1t is the purpose of the Chesapeake
and Ohio 10 do.

A New Proposition.

Mr.. HALsTEAD Is a self-appointed
| guardian Of the Democratic party, and
particularly MIR. CLEVELAND and his new
| Secretary Of tho Treasury. He has con-
s%tautly kept up a Dining in Mr.. CIEyE-
LAwp's ears az to what ought to be done
with the currency question. Here IS his
last uttorancc;

Cloyelsnd-Carlis scheme for shunting the sill
yer question IL 10 use the metal for bank-noto
security. that tho bcs: thing they could do
would be 70 stick 70 the national banking sys-
ten.
The Chicago platform demands The repealOf
tho tax on state-bank Issues, which is prohibl-
tory, but It Is not necessary TO be im petuous even
about that. Suppose Mr.. Carlisle knows n bet
tor way-shouid he pursue IL or not? Is he tho
servant Of the people or tho slave OF tho plat
form: 10 knows, for instance. tina, 70 dena-
tlonalize the currency and turn out n swarm OF
wildcat banks would be to iniure the general
inferests-to provide for playing n bunko game
upon the people. 1t was In Mr.. Carlisle's mind
whom he was In tho Senate to propose tho use Of
silver as the security upon which tho national
ban&s should issue their notos. The plan is one
that ought not 20 be dismissed without the most
scrious consideration.
This new scheme does not promise to
do much towards settling the currency
question. We cannot believe that the
President OF the Secretary Of the Treasury
has ever gwen in his adhesion 10 this new
project for doing away with the national
banks.

Sectional Feelinp.

We would say TO the New York World
that nothing was further from u
thoughts than the s~ectionalism which that
paper speaks Of when we referred theother
day TO West Virginia as Estate loyal to the
South. We might have added that West
Virginia is as loyal 70 the Union "A is Vir-
cinia or any other State. Nevertheless,
there was q reason for speaking Of the 10y
atty Of West Virginia 70 the South. She
was during the war kept under Federal
control and by force and in violation of
the Constitution OF the United States cut
of from Virginia and erected into a State,
and figured during the war as a Union
State, and "a bogus Governor and a bogus
Legislature gave their consent to tho crea-
ton of a State in this wrongful and
unconstitutional manner. Therefore, it
was not improper for us 10 remind the
southern governors soon TO assemble IN
Richmond of what they were liable to for
get when they Jaw West Virglnia's Cover
nor IN a convention of southern Cover
nors.
Let us repeat that Virginia and West
Virginia are as loyal to the Union as
Massachusetts,. The people of those States
have no hopes for the future which they
do not base upon an "indissoluble union
Of ipdestructible States"

save them harmless from actual loss; and
this, we feel sure. will be done before very
many years have passed. "Back-pay
grabs will not be allowable. but the Le-
gislaturc TO be elected this fall may very
properly provide that future legislators
shall DO paid at the rate Of Sc per day tor
the limited sessions (all sessions are limit
ED prescribed by the Constitution.
The constitutional provision on the sub
ject of pay salary IL that the members OF
the General Assembly shall receive for
their services a salary, TO be ascertained
by law and paid out OF the public urea
sury: but no act increasing such salary
shall take effect until after the term for
which the members of the House of Dele
gates voting thereon were elected"
This makes it rather difficult to get q
change made, since members are not
always disposed TO risk their wi popu-
larity for the advantage of those who may
succeed them yet the manifest injustice
of the present arrangement will. we trust,
incline the people TO consent to an amend
ment 20 the law which will give Senators
and Delegates 81 a day more than they
are now allowed.
