Fire Stories BY Chief Briefly and War sto-
ries by Alderman Davis.
1t was pleasant party that gathered at
the No. 3 engine house last evening on
invitation OF the members of the Monitor
Company and when they arrived there
they found the apparatus room had been
cleared and In place of the hose carriage
were two tables the whole length of the
room laden with fruit, ETC., but the SUBJ
stantial part of the repast was still In the
hands of the cook, "Bob" Hewes.
II a visitor followed in the direction OF
the tempting odor he would find "Bob"
down cellar busily frying tripe In butter
and by his side what seemed like bushel
of nice, crisp fried potatoes and cans OF
coffee.
When everything was ready the follow
ing city fathers, firemen and their friends
were seated around the tables: Chief
Briefly, First Assistant James Easton,
Second Assistant George Mcdonald, AL
dermen Davis and O'Reilly, Counciimen
Binford and Gillian, Captain Enoch Slater

John Kay, "Bert" McLay, Charles Lee,
Fred Hanley, Edward jerks, William Nc
Donald, Captain Chace of Hose 8, George
Whitaker and William Butler. Drivers
"Joe" Benedict and "Pete" O'Reilly and
Callman John O'Reilly acted as walters
and they did 1t so we'll that II was voted
that they need not shave of their NOUS
tsches as New York walters have to.
After everybody had done their best to
dispose of all the eatables, cigars were
lighted and Chief Briefly called to order.
After a short address he introduced AL
dermen Davis, O'Reilly, Councilmen Gil
Ian and Binford, Captain Chace, Robert
McCloy and others, who made appropriate
speeches. While the talk was mostly
humorous, yet there was vein OF serious
ness In 1t and Chief Briefly was compli-
mented by all on the efficiency Of the de-
partment.
Captain Chace said he wanted to see
flag pole on the engine house. There
were many fire and other kinds of stories
told before the party broke up. In the early
part of the evening the hose carriage was
put down stairs with the horses hitched
ready for a run and "Tom," the drivers
cat, was locked up.

Work For the Health Ohicer-A Good
Candidate-wsyward Girl Found.
IL Is generally acknowledged that the
sanitary conditions OF Central Falls is a
matter that requires investigation. Cess
pools fiow over the street, and In the
"Bowery" privy vaults are almost un-
known. In the western district COM
plant is lodged about a cesspool, and in
the other parts of the village the health
officer can find enough to investigate.
Sentenced For Ten Days.
J. j. Sullivan was sentenced In the Dis
triet Court this morning to ten days in
jail.
A Worthy Candidate.
Richard M. Burns OF the firm of Crane
4 Burns, undertakers, is mentioned as a
most prominent candidate for the Coun-
Gil ticket by two different parties. Burns
He was born In this village, atten led the
public schools and then with four other
brothers began hustling for himself In
this world, In which he has made most
successful hit. He Is OF quiet disposi-
Iion, always agreeable and by strict atten-
tion to business has become exceedingly
popular. He is not a politician, but a
young man who knows the town from one
end to the other. His politics are un-
known, but II is safe to say that he will
be good man for the position.
MIX Wagon Wreck.
The milk wagon Of }. w. Aldrich broke
down on Cross street this morning. The
breaking of the axle spilled the lacteal
fluid upon the street.
They Found the Daueh hter.

THE FOLLETT CASE.
The City Must Paw Him
the Full $40, ,OOO..
A SURPRISE ABOUT TOWN.
Mr.. Moroney Was Opposed to Giving
Folletu Anything.

"Ferd" Follett gets $4,000 out of the
city. That Is, IL there Is no hitch.
The tax rate may have to go up another
notch.
Follett sued the city for $4,000. The
case went to the Supreme Court and It
was finally, by consent of counsel, left TO
three referees, Ellis Tingley, David Fales
and William p. Moroney.
Follett has cigar manufactry over near
Hammond's pond and his case was based
on the raising of the grade of South Bend
street, the over flowing OF Hughes
swamp" and the flooding of his cellar.
Much OF his stock was damaged, sickness
was caused, his tenants moved out, ETC.,
etc. His case covered a period of six
years.
He had as counsel, J. Osfield, Jr., and
+. Z. Dubois. Mr.. Barnefeld appeared
for the city.
There were thirteen hearings and
twenty-five witnesses examined.
The decision was reached by the referees
last night.
The award was not generally known un-
I'll today and 1t created great deal of
comment. Some said 1t was lucky for
Follett that "Ellis and David" were two
OF the.referees; others said it was an "out.
rage" and many blamed the City Council
as they thought the Dunnell Company
was the party liable.
Still others said: "Well, Follett was
damaged lot. Besides he's good fel-
low and Pm glad he got the money"
Then there was also a rumor that Mo-
roney was not consulted by Fales and
Tingley In the matter of settlement.
One prominent man said he heard that
Fales and Tingley went to Moroney's OFF,
ce last night and Tingley read off long
itcmized account of Follett's damages.
Fales nodded his head and Moropy was
opposed to the award. But 1t was two to
one.
This afternoon TRIBUNE reporter saw
Mr.. Moroney and the latter said he was
consulted but he was opposed to giving
Foilett anything.

voice In where a ginmill Is to be To-
Gated.

missioners instead OF five. THIS was lost

A SW|NOL|NG SCHEME.
A ShreWd Gang Working
New England Cities.
BANKERS ARE TAKEN IN.
Chief Inspector Coulter Of Boston
Warns the Public.

Boston, May l9.-By means Of WORTHLESS.
recently by some clever swindlers ia
swindle the bankers and banks in variou-
cities in New England and vicinity.
Recently several of these attempts have
come to the notice of Chief Inspector Coul
ter, but as his men seem
Unable to Catch tho swindIers.
It is his wish that the public be warned Ia
bsware Of the operators.
Yesterday the chief received a communi.
cation from she president of the Barton
National bank in Barton, VT, which was
quite interesting, uand showed fully the
manner in which the swindlers are work
ing.
In the communication 1t was stated that
several days ago his bank received the fol-
lowing communication from Boston, which
was written on a letterhead that read:
"Office of Emery e. Goodsell, importers
and jobbers of foreign and domestic fruits,
nuts, etc, 81 and 80 Commercial street,
Boston, Mass, and "a Barclay street, New
York city. We use the simplex code In
telegraphing."
The letter then read as follows:
BosroN, May 8, 1888.
To the Barton National Bank, Barton, VT;
GENTLFNEN-We have mailed to our travel
ing salesman, Mr.. Levi Metzger, q check for
$S5. Mr.. Metzger will he in Barton this week.
The enclosed is his signature =.
Very respectfully yours.
EMERY a. GooDsELI.
Per G. Emery.
The letter is written on typewriter paper,
and attached to the lower right hand
corner of the letter Is small slip on which
Is written the signature of Metzger.
A short time after the letter had been
received Mr.. Metzger
Called at the Bank
to have a check cashed, and after a few
questions had been asked by the cashier,
he identified himself by indorsing his name
on the check in the same handwriting as
that Of the signature that had been for
warded to the bank.
As the man was well dressed the bank
paid him the amount the check called for,
tS5, without any hesitation at alt.
The man then departed. The following
day the check was sent to Boston bank
who quickly sent it back to the Barton
bank with the information that the check
was worthless.
No such firm as Emery & Goodsell or
such person rs Metzger could be found, so
recourse was had 10 the police.
Inspector Gerraughty had also heard Of
a similar game being worked in Provi-
dence, and since then he has heard Of
others, but he was unable to locate the
swindlers.
Several of the Boston banks have also
been worked in a similar manner. The
checks are obtained i'm the usual way, by
takinp them from the desks in the front
part Of the banks.
In Providence the swindler used differ
ent name.
1t Is believed by the police that he has q
partner in this city whose part Of the busi-
ness is to write the letters.
The man is described as being Of dark
complexion, wearing black mustache,
and as dressing in dark colored business
suit. He is of medium height, weighs
about l35 pounds, and is apparently about
25 wears Of aye

out by those presumably acquainted with
the purposes of the administration that
the president and Mr.. Crisp have reached
q final understanding II is certain that
when Mr.. Crisp dined at the White House
he expressed to friends his confidence In
his practical unopposed reelection TO the
tpeakership by the Democrats Of the next
house. He expects serious opposition from
neither Mr., McMillin OF Tennessee nor
Mr.. Springer of Illinois, and 1t seems TO be
agreed that the administration will set up
no candidate against him.
