Fire Engines Drawn by Horses.

Frederick is indeed metropolitanic in
the present equipment of its fire de.
partment, than which, there is no bet
ter or Drawer in the land. Among the
accessories of each engine are number
ed four handsome horses, that take to
their new duties like duck to water.
and with evident pleasure at the nov
city and excitement of the same. Re-
Gently at a practice run, quick time
was made in Harvesting and starting
from the engine quarters. The steeds
seemed to enjoy the experience and
did not mind in the least the Kissing
Of steam or the exclamalious from the
spectators ON the sidewalks. This ar
rangement will be kept up until the
streets are il fit condition to enable
our fire laddies to haul the engines.
The horses are stabbed at Zacharias'
Sponseller's and Houck's liveries aud
are ready at a moments notice.
An alarm was sounded OH Tuesday
Dight and it was an interesting sight
to watch the preparations and final
run to what proved an imaginary fire.
Our firemen are to be highly praised
for their efforts to be in readiness for
any conflagration, big or little, and we
are sure they are equal to any emer-
gency. Their past record is an envi-
able one.

A startling contrast is shown by the
conduct of the officers and sailors of
the steamship Teutonc, and those of
the ill-fated Elbe. The Elbe disaster
threw officers and crew into panic
that undoubtedly cost many lives.
The Teutonic officers and sailors kept
their heads under exciting circumstan-
ces, and not only navigated their own
vessel into port but saved the crew of
wrecked and sinking vessel. 1t must
have been spectacle of the most thrill
ling heroism when the crew of the
sinking schooner, Josie Reeves. was
rescued from the grinding ice and tow
ering waves. Right in the midst of a
gale that threatened to destroy his
own vessel the brave Captain of the
Ieutonic saw signals of distress flying
from what his glasses told him was n
sinking fishing smack. He ordered
the boats lowered and number of
sailors and a second officer volunteered
for the perilous work. Twice the GAL
liant crew attempted TO reach the
schooner and twice the biting wind and
tempestuous sea forced them back to
their own vessel. While returning
from the first attempt the officers arm
was fozen to the elbow. The poor fell
lows on the wreck, fearing that they
Were TO be deserted, made frantic sig
mails and the officer ordered another
attempt. 1t was fruitless and the boat
returned TO the steamer. Then another
set of men VOLUNTEERED but they too
were tossed back TO their vessel. 1t
was by the skill of the officers of the
Teutonic, that the great liner was fl
nally steered do~n close to the schoon-
er and the almost frozen crew hoisted
abroad by ropes. These were men who
knew their duty and knew how to do
1t. 1t would have been comparatively
easy for the Teutonic officers to say
that they were unable TO rescue the
men because they would be endanger-
ing the safety of their own vessel. But
they made no excuse and bravely did
what their gallant hearts dictated.
Words of praise are cheap and there
should be some more enduring testi-
monial ofgratitude given to the men
who by practical example have show
ed others how to do their duty.

HAVING completely suppressed its
enemies and made it impossible for any
further attempt to be made to set the
Queen of Hawaii on her throne again,
the Hawaiian republic can afford to be
generous to the convicted rebels. Were
they executed, as threatened by Presi-
dent Dole, the act would seem to be
purely revengeful and proceed from a
love of bloodshed. The only excuse
any government has in these days for
shooting those that plot against it is
its belief that were they allowed to
live they would be menace and dam
ger TO the safety of the republic. To
acknowledge that they are danger to
the republic would be n confession OF
weakness, an impression that would dc
the present government but little good,
under the circumstances. We do moi
believe that the Hawaiian republic is
so weak as that. The eX-queen is utter.
ly impotent to foment further mischief,
Therefore the government should fol.
low the example of the greatest repub.
lie in the world and exercise the elem.
ency that marked the close of the great
est rebellion in history.

The Springer currency bill was
killed To the tune of a vote of l64 to lS4
in the House on Thursday of last week.
The sentiment in the Democratic ranks
was about equally divided-92 voting
for the bill and 9S against it. Mr.. Reed,
of Maine, the great Republican aspirant
for the presidency, along with McKin-
ley, Sherman and others, is more di-
rectly responsible for the defeat of the
above measure than any other combi-
nation of circumstances. 1t was in his
power to turn the tide of his followers
for or against it, but owing to the fact
that the bill proposed by him was re-
jected, and being piqued at this, he
used his influence to work contrary to
his avowed approval of Mr.. Springers
idea of financial relief. The PROPOSE
ton was for the issuance of $500, ,000,0
in gold bonds. Only short time re-
mains in which to do something, but if
the vengeful efforts of such men as
Reed are used to hinder it, the pros
poets are dark indeed.

The "News" Pound Party

The daily NeWs of this city, is en-
gagged in a charitable and meritorious
work, that of providing fund for the
relief of the needy and offering .
means by which the people can reach
directly the most deserving in this
community. On last Monday night 9
pound party was held in their rooms
on Market street, aud in response 70
an appeal through their columns the
good people of Frederick responded
nobiy with everything in the provls'
ion line needed, aud over three huu'
dred applicants were attended to ana
made happy by the generous donation.
Over $75 has been sent in by generous
people to the "NeiUs Fund.-" which Is
being used to the best possible advan.
tage. Such action requires great
deal OF labor on the part of the employ
ees OF that newspaper, and all VINO
can should consider this and give
what they can spare towards the fund'
There never was time when such 81
gantic efforts have been made in this
city to help those in destitute circum'
stances and never before was the list 90
extended. Great suffering prevails
also In the county.

TWO DEATHS.
Drama for the Poor.

The Young MeE's Catholic Union
presented at the City Opera House,
last Friday night, for the benefit of the
poor of this city, the ever popular dra.
ma. Ten Nights in Bar-room,"
with remarkable cleverness and pa
thos. This production has been wit
messed several times before by our peo-
pile, but repetition seemed TO add tn
laurels already won by the members OF
the cast. G. P. Smith as Joe Morgan,
aud Capt. @. s. J. Beckley as Sample
Switched, carried off the honors,
whilst the Others acted their parts
well. The amount cleared was in the
neighborhood of $500.

THE question Of preserving the game
in Maryland is now receiving consider
able attention from the press, as well
as from the various hunting clubs of
the State. In this county Mr.. Charles
w. Ross is taking up a subscription to
purchase a lot of hardy quail with
which to stock the county. If our
game laws are as poorly observed in the
future as they have been in the past,
the wealth of a Vanierbilt would fail
to provide birds sufficient to have them
killed in season and out of season by
men, who spend hours in hunting for
them on the ground and thus killing
whole coveys at a time. Let the hunt
ing laws of Maryland be enforced, and
let the local organizations too carry
them out without fear or favor, and
then it will not be necessary to take up
subscriptions to stock the county.

set for new trial on the first Mon
day in May. The physician attending
James C. Coe. the juror whose illness

agreed to leave the matter to the
courts discretion. When court finally
convened, Attorney Gregory for the
defense moved that the jury be dis
charged but that the eleven men then
in the box be again empaneled and a
twelfth juror secured. To this the

The two captured Hawaiian rebels,
White and Ritter, now say that the
bombs found in their houses were in
tended as ornaments for gateposts. 1t
may be true, and perhaps the guns and
ammunition found in Queen Lil's bou-
