THE YEARS FIRES.
The Alarms were Few, but the
Fires Were Costly.

The Alarms were Few, but the
Fires Were Costly.
There were twenty.three alarms Of
fire turned In during the year.
This is not a large number even II all
the alarms had meant there was q
fire; some of the alarms were false.
As 1t was, though, some of the fires
were very costly ones; the first fire Of
the year that of February 8th, was q
barn, and is supposed to have been Of
incendiary origin.
One fire, that of March 9th, when q
small shanty on Orange street was
burned, resulted In the loss of life, the
two little Gross boys being badly
burned, little Horatio dying from the
effects couple of days afterward.
The FIRE Of April 9th was the most
disastrous, when Getsinger & Sons
glassworks we're laid In ashes.
This was followed just one month
later, May 9Th, by disastrous fire at
the Cumberland Glass Works, when
their costly new tank factory was de.
stroyed, These two fires alone en-.
tailed a loss of quite $10O, 1000.
The next fire of conse quence was the
burning Of the steamer "Geo. Law on

HE WAS NOT SURPRISED.
The Assemblyman Joined the
Party.

About twenty five friends of Assem-
blyman-elect Bloomfield FL. Mincb, re-
solved to surprise that gentleman, and
have his home for the scene of jolly
masquerade party.
Tue Assemblyman Is not slow about
catching on, and consequently he
knew little something of the game
before the time for the party arrived.
The happy party arranged to meet
at the home of VIM. E. Riley on East
Commerce street, and the time passed
and word came that Mr.. Mineh had
not yet arrived home, but was down
town. They waitsd until about nine
o'clock and then resolved to go over
to Mr.. Minch's handsome residence.
Among the party that entered the
Minch residence was gentleman dis
guised as a jolly negro, and nobody
seemed to know who he was. He
mingled with every body and was as
anxious apparently for the arrival of
Mr.. Niuoh as anyone, but he did nos
appear. Finally the secret could not
be kept longer, and the jolly negro
turned out to be Mr.. Minch and he wae
among the merry ma. Queraders and
had Joined the party to surprise him
self. OF course that made good deal of
merriment for all hands and the party
wss more surprised toan the host.
After the unmasking there was 8
jolly social time, and refreshments
were served late In the evening
