FIRE DEPARTMENT NOTES.

Charles Beckett. permanent man Of the

idly. In few months from now this
company VIII be installed In the best
equipped and most modern fire depart
ment building in this part Of the state.
George Bailey, of Green Ridge, was
yesterday sworn in AS stoker OF the
General Phinney Engine company BY
Mayor Bailey.
The project to locate a chemical en-
gine somewhere in the vicinity OF Web
ster avenue and Vine street, mention Of
which was made recently in The Tri-
bune, Is being seriously discussed by
residents OF that portion Of the city.
The blocks thereabouts are being rap
idly built up with handsome residences
and under existing conditions Of affairs
they are practically without protection
against fire. for Oh account Of the steep
grades leading to that portion of the
city 1t Is almost an impossibility to get
a fire apparatus up there In time to be
of any service. BY locating company
Oh the summit of the hill this difficulty
would be obviated.
Chief Hickey has secured alarm bells
from the Gamewell Fire Alarm com
pany and will have them placed III the

APPARITION IN THE CHAIR.
Ghost Of DIR. Westerfield Appears to
His SDiritualistic Friends.

Anderson. Ind, July 2O.-A decided
sensation was Occasioned at the Indi-
ana spiritualist camp grounds today.
DR.. Westerfield, the founder Of spirit
ualism in the west. and for years presi-
dent of the Indiana association, died
within the past year. leaving the office
vacant. The first conference was held
today. A chair was placed on the stage
where he usually sat, and the next in
slant the dozens of mediums started to
their feet. In their mediumistic state
they said they saw him sitting there as
in life. though those not possessed Of
mediumistic powers could see nothing
on the chair. The alleged apparition
called E. w. Sprague. jamestown, N.
Y, medium, to the chair. and addressed
the assembly through him. He said
he was happy to be present and that he
was now at the head of a greater work
of spiritualism than in life. He prom
ised to be present throughout all Of the
sessions, and a vacant chair will al
ways be left for him. Spiritualists are
much enthused; nonbelievers ridicule,
but the mediums and believers are de-
cidedly in earnest.
Mrs. Omer, of St. Louis, was the prin-
cipal speaker at the camp today. The
attendance Is rapidly increasing. Peo-
pie are arriving from all parts Of this
and adjoining states
