A Member of the Fire Department
Who Is Eighty-FOur Years Old.

"Uncle Tommy Barnett, the oldest fire.
man in this city, is dying at his home
on North Mississippi street, of senile de-
bility. He is eighty-four years of age and
has been on the fire force of Indianapolis
since the old days when a fire tower was
maintained by the city on the old Glenn
building. which gave way TO the building
now occupied by the New York store on
Washington street. He was stationed at
this tower during the war, and with
Charles Rhoades kept watch throughout the
twenty-four hours of each day. He came to
this city from Philadelphia, where he had
been a member of a volunteer fire depart
ment. In the days of the Glenn building
tower the fire alarm was rung by wards,
one stroke for the First ward and so on.
After a paid department was established
Mr.. Barnett was stationed at house No.
8, where he remained for a number of
years. Then he was transferred TO house
No. >. For a time he drove a supply wagon
and for a while served at headquarters.
Recently he has been deaf and was unable
to do much active duty. He has always
been quite a popular fireman.

rest Him Upon Its Conclusion.

Two Chicago officers were in the city last
night on their way to Shelbyville to at
tend the trial of David c. Bryan, which
comes up there to-day. Bryan has made a
hard fight to keep the Chicago officers

that he was under indictment at Shelby
vile for carrying concealed weapons, and,
being out on bond, he could not be carried

Near Mouth of Main InterceptOr.
The Board of Works has arrived at a
scheme for equalizing the excessive as
sessments at the lower end of the White

Premier steel works, and to others af-
fected, as we'll as to w. l.. Taylor, at
torney for the contractors, Wilding & Der
heimer, and they have all agreed that it is
the best that can be done. 1t is that the
property from the river to Wisconsin
street, being bottom land, shall bear an
assessment of 8 per cent. on the local
sewer assessment. the property from Wis
consin street TO Morris street 10 per cent,
10 per cent. This will give the contractors
about $1,000 of the 1886 due them, and they
have agreed to stand a ten-per-cent. loss,
equal to about the amount paid by the
property owners. This leaves the City
Council to bear about 5000 of the expense
chargeable TO this property, which is, all
told, not worth nearly as much as the as
sessment. The board will to the
Council that this settlement be accepted.

One OF my readers wants to know the
correct pronunciation of the word
'Llanthony." II is always painful
thing to me TO dispel the prevalent IL
lusion that newspaper editors know ev-
erything, but owing, l suppose, to the
fact that was taught Latin and Greek
In my youth. when ought to have been
learning the tongues of the living,
have grown mp ignorant Of the proper
pronunciation of Llanthony All can
boast of is general idea THAT in Welsh
most of the consonants are vowels and
most Of the vowels sounds which no
Englishman can hope to initiate. But
IL any Of my readers can throw any light
ON ''Llanthony" shall be happy to as
sist in spreading it.-London Truth.
