This brought the Committee down to
Fire Department, and hot fight, DUR
ing which DR.. Stathers said one thing
was wrong with all the hose houses,
and that is there is too much loaf1ng;
no wonder the horses can't Sleep" The
Doctor made big kick against chang
ing the stall in the Eighth ward house,
for which Sis was asked, and said the
stalls had been changed every year. III
the item of Sis was to stand, he said
he would like to have the contract. The
discussion got pretty warm, and during
it Chairman Robinson made several re-
ferences to the 1895 claims that no bills
would be carried over if the 64c levy
went through, and said it looked as
though about as much had been carried
over TO 1896 as had been carried over
TO 1895 Clerks Dannenberg and Wat
kins said it was not as much, when the
chairman said:
But we promised that all the old
bills would be paid"
Yes" said the Clerk, g but unfor-
seen Things happened.
Like the smallpox" said Clerk
Watkins.
Yes and we smashed a $500 en-
gine," said DR.. Stalters.
The Committee started to cut, and
trimmed $500 off of the feed allowance,
$500 off new hose, $3.50 off repairs to
buildings, of which three-fourths came
off the Eighth ward, 500 off repairs
TO apparatus. These cuts aggregated
S1650 and brought the Committee down
to the item OF $11 900 for a new engine
house for the Atlantic. On this point
there was jolly and lively time. Some
thought the old building would last
another year, others that $4,000 would
put up sufficient building of plain
brick, and still others thought $1,000
should be the extreme limit of cost. The
old topic of whether or not the city real
ly owned the Atlantic engine house
ground also figured in the talk very
largely. The item was cut from $11 900
to $1,000 The North Wheeling engine
house cost over $1,000. These cuts
made the total fire item $50, 750 as
against $44,415 asked for.
Gas works was put in al $95 900, their
estimated receipts and a grand total
of $429,064.56 resulted, as
against $424 1862, of esti-
mated receipts, an excess of S4,90S.

AT this point, at 1920 o'clock, the
Committee adjourned until Monday

Physicians OF every school have been

selves of its wonderful power of max

Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D., as soon as he pre-
scented Paine's celery compound to his
fellow physicians, was always anxious
to have the invigorator tried In cases
that had resisted the usual methods
of treatment, that he might prove the
truth of every claim made for his new
