ANOTHER ROAD GOBBLED.
Philadelphia Capitalists Secure Long
Island City Trolley Roads,

ASuuo lily AIOucy NOduS.
Philadelphia, Dec. 5.-Announcement
was made that syndicate Of Philadel-
phia capitalists had acquired the en-
tire street railway system and electric
lighting plan of Long Island City. There
are about sixty miles of trolley road in
operation and additional mileage will
shortly be completed; besides which the
systems electric lighting privileges are
quite extensive. Long Island City Is
in close connection with New York. and
the property interests thus acquired are
said to be very valuable. 1t is UNDER
stood that the deal represented trans
action Of nearly S2,OO0,000.
The syndicate Is composed of num-
ber Of capitalists who have been largely
interested In the street railways Of this
city.
The system will be fully equipped
with additional rolling stock and put
in first-class condition. A new company
will be formed, probably under the cap
tion Of the Kings county and Long
Island City Traction company.
This latest deal has added another
important street railway system to the
number of those in other cities which
are under the control Of Philadelphia

Chief fERBER'S Plans
MOVE FOR A PAID DEPARTMENT
Important Conference Todhy a. q
.Resnlt Of Which It l. Ex-
pected tho Project WIN
Assume Definite shape.

To-day, the Fire Underwriters. who
have undertaken the commendable pro-
ject Of securing paid fire department
for this city will have a conference with
Chief Ferber in order to secure his
views Dn the matter.
To Tribune reporter. yesterday af-
ternoon, Chief Ferber outlined the plan
he will submit to the board Of under
writers. 1t contemplates a total dis
solution of the volunteer department as
the first step. For start he would
substitute a small paid fire department
just sufficient to work the apparatus
now owned by the city. For engine
companies he would allot seven men.
five to be regularly employed and two
to be "call men," these "call men" to
be under condition somewhat similar
to those governing the employment Of
engineers and stokers at the present
time.
For the Suburban Companies.
Suburban hose companies might have
three permanent men or at the most
three permanent men and one "call
man." With sixty-six permanent men
and eighteen "call men" the chief feels
confident of being able to satisfactory
carry on the work Of the department.
The increase in expense will be nothing
as compared with the increase in the
worth of the department, he contends.
In each company he would have n
captain who would be held accountable
to the chief and through him to the
city, for the discipline Of the men under
him, and who would be responsible for
department property in the company's
possession. AS, by this arrangement.
there would be only six men with whom
the chief would have to deal, the gov
ernment Of the department would. on
account of it's compact character. be
much easier and better results would
ensue.
Arc Subject to Changes.
These plans, the chief explained, are
subject to many changes. as there will
undoubtedly be many good suggestions
made and many new ideas will occur
as the matter assumes definite shape as
II inevitably will.
Mayor Connell Is now considering the
selection Of a fire marshal which office
was created at the last session OF the
legislature. The duties of the officer
are principally to investigate suspicious
fires and to prosecute violaters OF the
city ordinance guarding against fires.

Meet him in a Joint Debate.

EATo, o., Oct. 1S.-Ex-Governor
Foraker has openly challenged
Senator Brice, or any of his fol-
lowers, to a joint debate to be held
at any place and at any time. The
reason for this is on account of an
editorial in morning paper en-
titled "Where is Brice"
Foraker answered that he knew
he did not have the head Of hair
like Brice, but he did have his "po-
litical conviction" and that If there
was a representative of the paper
in the audience he wanted him to
state to that paper that he was
ready at any time for joint de-
bate, where he would answer all Of
Brice's questions and then he
would have some to ask Brice.

Lacked Presence of Mind.

FRANKLIN, WASH, Oct. 49,
Fire broke out last night in the
main hosting slope of the Oregon
Improvement company's mine,
causing the death of John H.
Glover, s. w. Smalley, John
Adams, and James Stafford. The
accident was caused by August
Johnson, who dropped his lamp,
setting fire to feeder of gas. In
stead of throwing on shovel full
of dirt to put it out, he ran down
the slope to get the pit foreman.
While he was bringing help the
timbers caught fire and five lengths
of brattice work were ablaze and
the smoke was so intense as to pre-
vent getting at it. Finding the
fire could not be eXtinguished, the
four men named volunteered to go
down and close the door between
the main and auxiliary slopes.
They are supposed to have never
reached the bottom alive. The
bodies have not been recovered.

Legion, about forty strong, headed
by Commander-in-Chief John Glib
bon, and numbering in this small
list remarkable proportion of
men who have distinguished them
selves in the field and on the sea,
called at the White House yester-
day and were given a special re-
ception by the president. The
members were introduced to the
president by General Gibbon and
Major Huxford, and to each he
gave a cordial greeting. There
was a striking scene when. after
the introductions, General Gibbon
called out, "Huxford, strike up a
song," and the old veterans joined
heartily in the chorus of "March-
ing Through Georgia." with voices
somewhat broken but not lacking
in spirit. The president listened
gravely, and when the music died
away he uttered a few felicitious
remarks and the reception was at
an end.
