his hands as it passed through them !;
but such an inconvenience was only of
slight moment. A far greater danger
encompassed him. During his delay
the fire had gained in strength and
ferceness, and torrents ofyellow blaze
were pouring from dozens of the win

He had to pass through two of these,

fire, getting deeper and deeper charred

Fully conscious of his new peril, he
let che cord slip past him still more

POLICE REORGANIZATION.

1t has often been asked by the mem
bers of the joint standing Committ q
on Police of this city why they are ap-
pointed year after year as they have
never organized. They now have an
opportunity to do something. The res
olution OF Councilman McCrory, look
ing to the reorganization OF the police
system aud the division of the city into
police districts, affords them an oppor-
tunity to do some good work. They
should organize at once and consult the
best method to pursue.
If there had been two police districts
in the city, and if one of them had had
headquarters near Mineral Spring ave-
nue., the recent graveyard desecration
might have been prevented. Other
good would have resulted. The present
force, properly divided, is about suf-
ficient tor the city and any of the en-
gine houses can be arranged for head
quarters while the present station
would be the central station of the city.
Even Central Falls is ahead of us in
this respect. l-|
Then there can be arranged q new
distribution of the officers and of the
rank and file of the force, which is
quite desirable just now, and which is
a matter of present concern to both the
Mayor and the City Council.

their collection increased:
