FIRE IN PANTS AND TIN.
knights of Pythias building DAM
aged slightly Last Night.

The fremen had to fight what gave
promise of being rather a big fire last
night The alarm was turned In at about
7 o'clock from box 49, corner of State and
Barnard streets. The fire was found by
the department, after a very quick run. to
be located on Barnard street. in the tin
shop OF c. A. Cox, and the oil house, at
the rear of Broughton Bros store. 1t
had evidently started in the upper story
of the tin shop and communicated to the
OF. house. As soon as the firemen saw
the location of the fire they knew that
there was serious work before them. The
paints and oils in the store are so com
bustible that, had the fire gained suffi-
cient Roadway to reach them, big fire
would have almost certainly resulted. a
dense volume of smoke was poured forth
by the burning oil and a big crowd was
attracted 10 the scene. The police had 70
establish their lines TO keep the curious
out Of the way and possible danger. The
fire occurred Just at the time when clerks
and businss men were getting off from
work, and many of them went to the scene.
After the streams had been turned on, the
fire was soon extinguished, with but slight
loss to the building and contents The
walls and ceilings were charred and some
of the stock in both the tin shop and
the paint store was also damaged. The
building, which is owned by the Knights
of Pythias. is covered by insurance as is
also the stock of MIR. Cox, who is insured
for $3.50, in the Western of Toronto Com
pauy, represented here by Mr.. Gratz My
ers. There is s., 800 insurance on the rear
portion of the building fronting on Bar
nard street, and this is placed with
Messrs. Kollock & Screven. 1t is thought
that Broughton Bros. are also fully pro-
tected.
1t was thought necessary soon after the
arrival of the department to tuan in an
alarm calling out engine company No. 4,
which does not answer to alarms from
box 10, but its services, fortunately, were
not needed.

CHATHAM COUNTY's MACHETEs.
Once Used In Surveys They May Now
Go to BuckhnIter.

Perhaps it is not generally known that
the county commissioners of this county
have on hand quite a supply of mach ates,
the well-known instrument of warfare
which has become familiar to everyone
through the reports OF the Cuban insurrec-
ton. In Cubafit has been made an instru-
ment of hand to hand conflict in battle,
as well as an instrument Of execution, but
it should not be understood that the coun-
ty commissioners of Chatham are thinking
of going to war or that they are preparing
to execute anybody by the machete pro-
cess.
The Chatham county machetes are used
for an entirely different purpose. They are
instruments of execution it is true, but the
execution is that of weeds, stubble and I'M
dergrowth in making county surveys, and
for that purpose, it is said, they are a
most convenient weapon. The county has
had a supply of them on hand for quite
a while, and they have been used now and
then in making surveys, for the purpose of
clearing the path. The old ones, however,
were not good enough for one of the recent
county enein ,s toA the de- dig e.
OOuDtleSS llOuSlt tlS pIeSellCe VI pouutt-
GUS weapons added much SO he purchased
a couple of new ones with long keen
blades. and imitation silver mountings
and handsome leather cases. These weap-
ons cost the county something like IS or
$40 apiece, and there ~ no doubt in the
minds of some that they are a good thing.
Now that there is not much surveying be-
ing done and they are lying in idleness in
the county engineers Office, it has been
suggested that they be used for the pur-
pose of cutting canals through Buckhal-
ter. 1t may be that excellent use can be
found for them out in the baroay, as any
rate it might be wise to give the matter
a trial.
The machete is a sort of q sword, sharp
on one side-very sharf'-straight as an
arrow and about two and a half or three
feet long. Ii has a short stocky handle,
and small stout guard by which it can
be easily held and readily welded.

SHE HAD NO PAPERS.
The south African Comes Up to the
City and May he In More Trouble.

City and May he In More Trouble.
The British bark South African was
released from quarantine yesterday, and
was towed up to the city Tie South Afri-
can came fom Rio Grande do Sui, Brazil,
and Is the bark from which, on her arriv-
al at the quarantine station, Capt. Gully,
her master, and two passengers, j. c.
Brown and wife. of New York, were per-
mitted to leave and come up to the city
from where they took the train for New
York.
When She was boarded by Capt. Laird,
the boarding officer, 1t was found that she
had no papers. The mate was asked for
them, but he had none, so he could not de-
liver them. This is another ENHANCEMENT
into which the South African appears to
have gotten herself It is possible, how
ever, that Capt. Gully may have locked
the papers up somewhere, expecting TO be
here by the time his vessel came up from
the quarantine station. If, as a matter or
fact, the papers are wanting capt. Cully
will find himself in considerable more
trouble beside that incident upon the vio-
lations of the customs regulations.
Capt. Gully will return to the city from
the north this morning on the Tallahas-
see, he having gone there after his wife
and family. He will be notified of the $1,000
In fines which have been assessed against
him by the collector for violations of the
customs laws Immediately on his return.
1t is probable that he already knows Of
the matter by this time. as both he and
the owners of the bark have doubtless
been notified by wire. Capt Gully will
have to take the matter up at once with
the Secretary of the Treasury. as he
doubtless will do, since the payment of
such a large fine is something that any
