Alarm Signals.

Mr. Lewis Williams informed an ORB reporter tais morning that connection had been made by wire with all of the company buildings, so that in case of an attack by tilibusters the sound of the whistle will set off alarm bells in each separate building. By this pc. caution q large number of men could be awakened on the instant ehould an attack occur at night. Following are the alarm signals agreed upon, and when heard the people will know whether fire has broken ont or an enemy has entered the town, and can govt Tn themselves accordingly:
 Six (6j toots of the shelter whistle or six (6) taps of the fire bell in quick suc- cession is an alarm of fire.
 One prolonged whistle or continuous taps of the bell Of from two to five min. utes' duration is call to arms.

New York City Pretty Safe.

A report was received in town last night that New York City was in immi-
 nent danger of bombardment flom
 Spanish war vessels. At first thought
 this was sufficient to arouse the fears of
 persons of weak nerves, but on reflec-
 ton and glance at the map it will be seen that this is wild rumor and en. tirely out of the question. In the first place, the enemy would have to pass Sandy Hook, point heavily fortified and thirty miles distant from the me- tropols; then there IS Wadsworth, an other we'll protected and heavily forti-
 fled point, and then Governors Island, four miles from and directly in front of the great city, and eight miles from the mouth of New York harbor. These points are all heavily fortified and supplied with the latest improved defensive armor, and as matter of fact the entire Spanish navy, in one concert ed movement, would find great difficulty in getting close enough to New York City to land a shell in her streets
 Knowing these facts,, twenty-one ves- sels were dispatched from New York harbor to Boston yesterday, among them being the Yankee Cformerly the El Monte), the San Francisco, New Or. leans, St. Louis, Harvard tformerly he New Yorh), tho large double -turrets.

A B1aZc.

What almost proved to be a confa- grafton in the center of the business portion of the town last night was dis covered just in time to save the years of hard earnings of many of our best citi- zens. At about lI:40 the rear end of the store building owned and occupied by Daniel Hankins was discovered to he on fire by Mr. Eisilee and the night cook at the Waldorf, who gave the alarm and at the same time went to work with might and main to put the fire out, and go far succeeded that by the time the fire apparatus could be got in readiness for use it was under con. trol, and by their efforts Mir. Hankins ia enabled to throw open his doors and continue business as usual today. There is a small room at the rear northwest corner of the building where Mir. Hank ins had two cans of coal oil and one can of gasoline. In. this room the fire started, but no one knows how. There was lor of rags used for cleaning lamps etc., in close proximity to the cans of oil, and it is supposed some one thoughtlessly threw down lighted cigarette or the stump of cigar and from thls the fire caught. Whatever the origin, before the fire could be ex- tinguished the heat became so intense that one of the cans of coal oil exploded, and it appeared as if the town was about to go up in smoke, but the air was calm, no wind blowing at the time, and with this good fnrtune favoring the brave workers the em bryo contlagration was nipped in the bud.
 The druggist, J. 8. Williams, had not yet closed his place of business, and hearing the cry of fire, ascertained it's locality, and was not long in attaching a convenient hose to the water hydrant and gave valuable assistance in putting out the fire.
 Mir. lIankins had closed up his place at 10 o'clock, and was at home sound asleep when the fire alarm awoke him. He can form no idea as to how the fire started unless az above statei.

seems to be a reluctance on the part of everyone to assist in handling the hose carts and fire apparatus in time of fire. The last two or three alarms that have been sent in, one or two citizens would start up the street with the heavy cart while others would rush by them or stand and watch them trying to make time with their heavy load. Whether you belong to the Are company or not don't stand back, but lend . helping hand.

ART OF MAKING A MUSTARD
PLASTER.

Philadelphia Ledger
TO put on a mustard plaster Is not
at all difficult, but to do it In the best
way requires some care and skill. 10
the first place remember never to give
a cold mustard plaster to patient;
to weak or sensitive person the shock
is often to great. Either mix it with
very hot water, or better still, have
plate put where it can get warm while
YOU are mixing. Mustard, flour, and
a spoonful of molasses, with a bit OF
muslin or old lncn-an old handker-
chief is the best thing for the purpose.
Stir the mustard and -four together
first, making the plaster stronger or
weaker with mustard as you have
been directed. Add the molasses and
then the water until the smooth ana
mass is about as thick as porridge or
poultice. Spread your cloth on the
warm plate, using the middle portion
OF the linen and leaving a margin on
all sides, which is to be folded back at
the edge. Put second cloth over the
whole, so that the mustard is entirely
hid between the two covers, and keep
on the plate until 1t is necessary ~
apply the plaster.

Col. James Gordon, Of the Okolona
Sun, figured in little incident OF the
last war which has been recalled and
made interesting by the siege and
taking Of Santiago. The last issue OF
the Okclona Sun modestly sets forth
the facts OF the story which will he
found Of general interest.
On the 5th of March, 1853, 1t ap.
pears, Gen. Coburn's brigade marched
out from Franklin, Tenn, and en-
gagged Gen. Van Dorn's Cavalry at
Thompson's Station. In the battle
Coburn's brigade was captured with
the exception OF about 200, who must
have outrun the cavalry horses.
The Twenty-second Mississippi Cav
airy, led by Col James Gordon partlc'
mated in this fight, and after the
battle, was assigned the duty OF es-
corting the prisoners 10 Tullahoma.
Among these prisoners was MAJ. VIM.
r. Shafter, now commander Of the
army at Santiago. The prisoners had
to be carried on a long journey thro'
, dense cedar brakes, and during the
tedious marches Shafter and Col. Cor
don became very intimate, the Con-
fedrate Colonel showing his prisoner
the utmost consideration and courte-
sy. AS a token OF his appreciation OF
, Col. Gordon's kindness Maj. Shafter
t presented'him with a pistol, smiling as
q he did 50, with the remark: Colonel,
r rm afraid this will be of little use to
IT you, as it requires peculiar metallic
D. cartridge, and there are r,one In this
n, part of the country except Il thousand
le in my trunk, which Is in a stOckade
fort near Brentwood Station, but II
le you can get at them you are welcome
ne to take them" Col. Gordon accepted
as the weapon and replied good-humor
r, cdly that he intended to make raiC
I'd in the direction OF Brentwood, ant
that he would call at the fort anc
S, claim his property. Some weeks latel
IT. Gen. Forrest surprised the Brentwood
H. garrison and sent Col Gordon to cap
er turc the stockade fort, which was
mile distant. Col. Gordon captured
b. the fort and made good his word b!
ou seizing Skaters trunk, III which HI
Is found the cartridges.
'ls Col. Gordon recently received let
he ter from Senator Money at Washing
ge ton, In which Mr.. Money said he lat
he had conversation with Gen. Franl
Armstrong, who told him he had me

and that Gen. Shafter had inquire'
he particularly about COL Gordon, whom
