HORSES BURNED TO DEATH
Serious Fire "a River Front at Two O'Clock
Thu Morning.


fire which caused the deaths of fifty
two horses and the destruction of Eve
wagons. large fquantity of harness and
ether property and which threatened the
destruction Of "Fishtown,' occurred at the
river front about 2 o'clock this morning.
The big frame building of Mr.. Thomas w.
Riley was the structure burned. AS soon
as the fire was discovered an alarm was
sounded from box 49, which brought out
several companies of the fire department,
and the blowing of steamboat whistles
aroused the residents of South Washington
and added to the excitement The flames
had gained great Roadway when the fire.
men reached the scene, and the property
on the entire river front seemed in danger
of destruction. For this reason second
and third alarm were sent in, and addi-
t1Onal companies were called out.
Policemen Carlin and Sontag, who were
at the building soon after the fire started,
made an effort to rescue some Of the ami
mails, but the flames spread through the
stable SO rapidly that they were unable
to accomplish anything. Because Of the
combustible material in the building the
whole place was soon ablaze, and it was
impossible for the f1remen to do anything
other than pour water on the burning
building. For fully two hours the fire
1eged, but the good work Of the firemen
saved "Fishtown" and made 1t possible
Tor business to be carried on To-Day WIN
out any serious Interruption. The fire was
fully under control before 4 o'clock, but
the firemen remained and poured water on
the pile Of ruins until late in the day.
The Losses.
Mr.. Riley's loss included 40 horses, 200
tons Of hay, 10 tons of mill feed, tons of
bran, 500 bushels of oats, 30 barrels of
corn, % sets of double harness, sets of
cart harness and other stable property.
Charles H. Javins & Sons, fish dealers,
who occupied part Of the building, lost
wagons, 3 horses, 5 sets Of harness, some
fish and horse feed.
George w. Stone, who had cooper shop
on the upper floor, lost all his tools and
material.
J. E. Kenyon, sailmaker, who also had a
shop in the building, lost quantity of sail
cloth and other property.
The police of the fourth precinct made a
report of the fire, in which the loss is esti-
mated at $4,000. The building was only
partly insured. The cause of the fire could
not be determined.
During recent years several destructive
fires have visited the river front. Mr.. Riley
was a loser by one which occurred not
mere than two years ago, at which time he
lest a. great many horses.

OBJECT TO FURTHER DELAY.


Commissioners Issue Notice to w. and
G. f. n. r.. Company.
In order to protect the water pipes along
the hne of the Washington and Great Fails
Electric Railway Company from electro
fysis, the District Commissioners last Sep
tember made certain suggestion ito the
company. The management was requested
to connect the rails of its tracks at 36th
street and Prospect avenue with the return
wire OF the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany, which company supplies the railroad
with electric motive power. 1t was recently
reported to the Commissioners that the
railway company had failed to comply with
their request, and they have therefore noti-
NED the railway company that no LONGER
delay can be countenanced, and that the
connection must be made within three days.
me District inspector in charge of the
matter has recommended to the Commits
sioners that the two-inch water service
running into the house of the company be
disconnected and the water system there
by relieved from direct connection with the
wires and the disintegration would not be
SO great. This action would leave the
ccr pany without water supply at its car
barns and offices. The matter has been
referred to the attorney for the District
ana II the connection is not made within
the specified time, and the attorneys de-
cislon isagainst the company it is possible,
that the water pipe may be disconnected

Why Not Honor Anthony

why NOT HONOR AntnOnyS
To- the Editor Of The Evening Star:
While the world is honoripg the gallant
commander Of the Inflated Maine, and our
citizens unite to do tribute to Sigsbee, as
it is mete and right so to do, 1t Is but just
that some recognition be extended the
brave sailor Anthony, who SO heroically
stood his post in the midst of confusion
and death-dealing treachery, as he respect
fully saluted his superior officer in the
n emorable words, Captain, I have the
honor to announce that the ship Is blown
up and rapidly sinking"
Surely II heroism under discipline was
ever displayed in time of peril it was in
this instance, and as such deserving OF
substantial recognition.
What could be more appropriate than for
the government to prove appreciation of
such nerve by the bestowal of a commits
sion In the navy? OF such stuff is the real
hero, and for service such as this should
the United States reward her brave on
land and sea.
When President Mckinley appointed
young Dick. Wainwright to a cadetship in
the navy over 500 applications, in the face
OF tremendous political pressure, a few
weeks since, he acted upon a proper sense
of the service rendered by Lieutenant Com
mander Wainwright under trying condf-
tions In the desire to reward. A recognt-
tion Of practical nature in the case of
Anthony by the Navy Department would
meet the requirements, encourage patriot
Ism IN the youths and stand forever in
history. A. p THOMAS

Fire Alarm Improvement.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue of March 30 I notice an
item to the effect that Representative AL
len has made personal examination OF
the District fire alarm system, and as a re-
suit of his Investigations is of the opinion
that the deficiency appropriation for the
extension and undermining of the same.
amounting to $4,000. can be used to good
advantage. It is to be earnestly hoped that.
should the Commissioners be granted this
amount of money by Congress, some radi-
cal change will be made in the method of
sending in alarms, especially during the
night. AT present every resident, sick or
we'll, within a radius of two blocks of the
eEgibe house must be rudely awakened
from his SAUNDERS by the loud changing of
the fire bell, and in nine cases out of ten
be robbed Of the remainder of his night S
rest. This comes as a particular hardship
to those who are in delicate health, and
also to mothers of small children. In
quiry at one OF the engine houses reveals
the fact that the firemen do not depend
upon the fire bell in the tower for infor-
nation as to the location Of the fire, but
are guided by the ringing Of the gong in
side the house. Further questioning as to
the utility of the outside bell was met with
this reply from one of the f1remen: well,
l never could see any use of that bell. 1t
is of no value to u.s." Surely the public
at large are not SO deeply interested in the
n after of fires that they are willing to be
awakened at any and all hours Of the
night by the ringing of this relic of other
days. when fire departments were yolun-
teer affairs.
Washington is one of the finest cities in
this or any other country today, and as
such should certainly be abreast of the
times in the matter Of fire protection and
an appliances therefor; but the useless
fire bell is a public nuisance and q menace
to the comfort of the people and shouId
be promptly abated Only those who are
unfortunate enough to reside within ear
nuisance to it's fullest extent. II r. II L."
