They Well Reward the Italians Who Rake
Them out of the Ash Heaps.
On every dumping ground where the
city contractors of Brooklyn place their
ashes one may see constantly Italians
working hard loyeling the heaps, as
load after load j. deposited, and care
fully placing tho tomato cans and other
castofT pieces Of tinware in piles by
themselves. THE contractors do not OBJ
ioct if the householders put old cans
among the ashes, for this insures Il care
full leveling by the Italians ut the
dumping grounds nj no expense 10 the
contractors. The revenue from these
cans that are collected by tho hundreds
and thousands is a matter of surprise to
most persons. A two horse load brings
from SO To IS. 1t fakes several days Of
hard work to get a big wagon load, but
the Italians don seem TO mind the labor
of it. for there is money Immediately m
sight rs the piles OF tin cans grow.
They watch jealousy their picking
grounds and sometimes make special
arrangements with the contractors for
the privilege of scraping and raking the
ash heaps over.
Tho tin cans arc sold TO men with
furnaces, who place them in a big cal
dron, and under slow fire melt the tin
aud solder and ran that part off for fu-
ture use and sale Almost all the tin
and solder is saved by this process and
is salable for use in making more cans
for preserving vegetables. The heat is
then made intense. and the iron that re-
mains is melted and cast into sash
weights The demand for these old cans
is said to be greater than the supply,
and one of the most valuable of the
scavenger privileges that the Italians in
large cities assume is that of working
over an ash dump.
The Italians also collect odd bits II
leather in heaps Old shoes Of large
size are always special delight to
them. A wagon load of them is always
salable for use in making lampblack.
There are other sources of profit in ash
heaps, but the chief sources of revenue
to those who pull them to pieces are the
caus and the shoes New York Snn.

est in Detroit, was destroyed by fire
which was discovered at a. IN. About
eight employees were sleeping on the
fourth and or top floor and about 100
horses were stabbed in the basement.
The building was an old one and a
dretrap of the worst kind. The fire
department worked most heroically to
save the men and horses and adjoining
property. Two men were taken out
on ladders and one employee who sue
-cecded in reaching window fell from
the fourth story to the sidewalk and
was probably fatally injured. lie
was identified as John Cummings, of
Jackson. At 4:30 a. III. the firemeu
had controlled the fire and ON the fourth
floor found the bodies of six men
who had been suffocated. OF the 100
horses about - were rescued by the
iremen and the others were found in
their stalls in terrible state of fright,
but not badly injured. The floor
above them was supported by heavy
iron girders and this alone saved them
from the falling timberS The loss is
estimated at &c., 200.
