CAUSE OF DELAY.
No Blame AttachedhtO Department I'm
Rccerst Fire.


A short time ago. Henry X. Simpson, sec
rotary of the Peoples Fire Insurance Com
pany Of this city, communicated with the
commissioners, requesting them to make
an examination of the circumstances
which attended the delay in the fire en-
gines reaching the fire at Phillips & Juene-
mann's wood and coal yard on the night
of the 18th ultimo. In his letter he says 1t
was nearly half hour after an attempted
alarm was turned in before any engine
appeared on the ground, and then only
after messenger went to the engine
house. Chief Belt to whom the matter
was referred, has made a report on the
matter, In which he says that engine COM
pany No. 3 responded to that fire on local
alarm, and that the superintendent OF
sewers was the first to inform him OF the
fire. He Immediately responded. and went
to box 6l2, the nearest to the scene Of the
fire, and there met Acting Sergeant Pear
son, who stated in reply to a question that
ne had been trying to get in an alarm Tor
half an hour. Chief Belt said he then
ordered him to turn in the alarm from the
patrol box, and simultaneously sent one
of his men to notify the fire alarm office
so that there would be no mistake. He
states further that engine company No.
responded to the fire eight minutes before
the local was sounded by Private Frazier,
turning the company out on the big light.
He says in his report that after the fire
number OF property owners in the i'm
mediate neighborhood congratulated the
fire department on the good and efficient
work OF the firemen. The Commissioners
have approved the report, and attach no
blame to the department.

LET THE OWLS ALONE.
Protests Against Unlawful and Bar
barOus Shooting on a Public Street.


barous Shooting on a Public Street.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
notice two accounts of policemen en-
deavoring to shoot owls which were killing
sparrows in this city, and there is record
of success in one case. Against this prac-
tice protest in the strongest manner. In
stead of being killed, the owls ought to
be encouraged to continue their good work,
for If there ever was an internal nuisance
without one redeeming trait 1t is the Eng
fish sparrow. They have damaged me to
the amount of a hundred dollars, by build
ing their nests in my down spouts and
cutters, filling up the down spouts and
traps at the bottom, causing the pipes to
freeze and burst, and thereby causing the
water to soak through the walls, rendering
them damp, destroying the papering and
discoloring the walls. They have driven
away all our native songsters, and keep
our porches, window caps and buildings
generally befouled with their droppings, and
they ought to be exterminated. How any
man could have been such an idiot as to
introduce them into this country l cannot
understand, for their habits were well
known, not only in England. but on the
continent In Germany they have long
been considered such a nuisance that q
reward is paid for killing them. Here a
person Is fined So for IT.
Besides, 1 would like to know by what
authority policeman can discharge a gun
in the streets. 1t is prohibited by law, and
any person who does 1t anywhere in the
city limits is liable to arrest and fine. 1t
seems to me that Col. Moore should in
struct his men to obey the law, and set
an example for others, instead of violating
1t, especially in such a cause.
If they want to exhibit their skill at
shooting birds, let them shoot the spar
rows, and not the owls engaged in the good
work OF Kidding us OF these torments.

doing things that increase the esteem and

Hayden of Alexandria, Va; o. P. RumIey
of New Jersey, w. r. Johnson of Indiana
William SipeS of Pennsylvania, w. F..
OBrien of Michigan and e. c. Crump OF
Richmond, Va. When Mr.. Benedict was
informed of this he sent for the printers
and when they assembled in his office made
them a little speech, eomplimenting them
upon the quantity. character and accuracy
of their work and expressing his gratifca-
ton at the splendid records they had made
Mr.. Crump replied on behalf of his COM
panions and himself and modestly promised
that they would try to keep the honor
places they had won.

Fresh Air I'm Cars and Herdics.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
There is one little matter in which some
thing SHOULD be done to help the suffering
public, viz, the ventilation Of street cars
herdics and other public conveyances
Why cannot the Commissioners order that
a complete change Of air be made in these
vehicles, say. after each trip? / think the
herdiCs particularly need attention in this
regard. Apart from the discomfort OF in
haling the unwholesome air with which
one of these vehicles gets filled, IT is very
likely that disease germs are often trans
plitted in this way. BOAZ.
