A fire had caught in some unknown

fought the fire desperately, but with
little hope of success, when suddenly
the shower struck and in 80 minutes
literally drowned the fire out.

THE PEAKS ISLAND FIRE.
The Showers of Saturday Afternoon APP
peared to Have Extinguished 1t.

The committee on fire department
held meeting Saturday afternoon and
decided to send the substitutes of each
company to the islands who, with two
of the board of engineers were to stay
until all danger was over.
Chief Ball gave orders for two of the
assistant engineers to go down to the
islands yesterday morning at s o'clock
with crew of men and see if everything
was all right.
In the afternoon the chief went down
himself and made very thorough exam
ination of the island. He found that
while the rain very ably seconded the
efforts of the department, that there
were numerouse small fires, points
where it still fingered under stumps and
in other localities. These, wherever
found, were put out and covered over.
He had force of 25 men at work all day
yesterday, and last night on leaving the
island, directed sufficient number to
remain to keep guard. Today he will
go down again and make sure that it is
all out. Chief Ball is unable to see any
reason why it should give any more
trouble.

HE STOOD UP FOR GLADSTONE
But DIR. Sullivan Had to Take several
Stitches in His Head.


1t was quite cool yesterday afternoon
and Mr.. Daniel o. Conner and MT. oharies
Davis preferred to discuss the nolie RUE
question under cover on Deer street.
Nj. O'Connor has been citizen Oh the
United States for over 40 years. anu is
proud to acknowledge that he is an
American citizen. Mr.. O'Connor consid-
cred that the Irish nation owed great
debt of gratitude to the grand OLD
man," who deserved all the good That
could be said of him.
Mr.. Davis did not take the same view
of the matter. He thought MI. Glad
stones ancestry was by no means dl-
rect one, and that it would have been
better for all concerned if it had never
existed.
Mr.. O'Connor, took objections to Mr..
Davis's view Of the matter, and SO excit-
ed Mr.. Davis that he seized bottle and
inflicted a blow on Mr.. O'Connor that
nearly fractured his skull, and made
cash over the eye that DR.. Sullivan had
to take several stitches in to mend. Mr..
O'Connor desired to continue the discus
sion with DR.. Sullivan during the opera
ton, but couldn't get up an argument
with him.
