ATTRACTIONS AT SAVIN ROCK

Grand Display of Fireworks-Diving
 Elks-Virginia Troubadours.
 The amusement management of Savin Rock in booking attractions for this week did not overlook the fact that to- day was to be a half holiday and they take great pleasure in announcing to their patrons that they have arranged for one of the best display of fire works ever seen at the Rock, and something out of usual may be looked for in the way of a patriotic display of aerial fireworks known as Dewey's s Dazzlers, which send forth showers of red, white and blue balls that cross each other in dazzling profusion, SampsOn's searchlight, another expIo- sive firework that shoots up to a great height and bursts into a rain of white fire that Eliminates the sky like a searchIight and which is immediately followed by a flying mass of wicked little bombs that go few feet and explode, others equally as good are Sampson's sunbeams and scintillators and the devil among Spaniards. Aside from this grand display of fireworks may be seen the famous diving Elks, who give two exhibitions of their mar veilous diving at and o'clock, and in the grove may be seen the original Virginia Troubadours, composed of twenty-five eolored artists who will

 The committee on streets reported in favor of building drawbridge on Chapel street over Mill river and rec commended that a temporary footbridge be built while the drawbridge is being constructed The recommendation was adopted and the order passed.
 The committee also reported in favor of a level grade for the approach to the above mentioned bridge, and that the assessments of benefits and damages as reported by the bureau of compensation for such grade be ordered. The rec ommendation was adopted and the or der passed
 The report of the committee on claims already published-was accepted and adopted, including the recommendation that $52.60 overpaid taxes be paid back to Andrew J. Condon.
 The report of the committee on ordi- nances was accepted and tabled for printing under the rules The report recommended the passage of an ordi- nance de cleaning of sidewalks, provid- ing that when a sidewalk is cleaned by city employees, when the owner has neg lected to have the work done, notice of such cleaning shall be sent to the owner within ten days after the work Is done. Alderman Dewell stated that this ordi- nance was recommended because many people in the city hire persons to clean their sidewalks and suppose that 1t is done by persons so hired until a long time afterwards they receive bills from the city, having already paid the per- sons whom they supposed have done the work By notice being sent by the city within ten days this double paying will be prevented.
 The committee also reported an amendment to section 322 of the ordi- nance de public conveyances, the rec ommendation being made because un- der the ordinance at present a certain number of hackmen are compelled to comply with the regulation, while oth- CTS are excluded from it's provisions. Another amendment recommended is to section 60 of the building ordinances, empowering the fire marshal or build- ing inspector to give permits for the erection of additions to wooden build ings within the fire limits. At present no such additions are allowed, not even a wooden bay window.

the commercial and financial domain Of Guatemala, if not In every part of Cen tral America His advice is sought in all financial projects of the government When syndicate of capitalists sends to Guatemala for an expression or opln- ion concerning a bond issue in Central America, this wonderful eX-slave Is consulted almost first of all. When the Guatemalans nearly came to arms with Mexico two years ago, Juan Knight was universally looked to by the na- tives to effect peace. His bank in Guatemala City is about the solidest in the country. So great is the confidence in his integrity that some of his oldest laborers draw their pay but once in half year. The millionaire planter and miner of Guatemala has several times visited the plantation in Tallapoosa county, Ala, where he was born and raised. Hundreds of people there know all about him and remember his child hood. In 1888, when he was in Dade- vile, he men the son of his first master, Daniel Upton. He had not forgotten how Mass'r and Misses Upton taught him to read and write, and all the pet ty privileges they had shown their chattel, little Black John. So what did the eX-slave do but employ George Up- ton, a son of Knights early master, to go down to Guatemala and be super- intendent at the mines. Not only that. The ex-slave found that the widow of his old master was sick and in financial distress in Mobile, and he forthwith in vested for her sum of his money suf- ticient to keep her comfortable her re- maining days.-San Francisco Examin- CT

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
An Unoccupied Ice House on Railroad
 Avenue Completely Destroyed

An Unoccupied Ice House on Railroad
 Avenue Completely Destroyed
 An old ice house on Railroad avenue Haven Ice company, was practically destroyed by fire last night. The build ing, which has served it's purpose for many years, was a frame structure about 75x150 feet, and had for the past two seasons been abandoned so far as storing ice in it was concerned. Since the erection of the fine new house at Lake Whitney the need for the one de- stroyed last night has been very little. In the winter, however, it served the purpose of a storehouse for the deliv cry wagons of the company, but none of them was in it last night. There was, however, a quantity of lumber (which had been there since the de- struction by fire of the ice house at Lake SaItonsalD, some sheds and chains used in harvesting ice and considerable sawdust and straw. Up to a short time ago a large amount of straw was stored there, but this was all removed in the
 
 there was not more than half a ton, and that was well scattered over the ground.
 The building has served as most comfortable rendezvous for tramps and knights of the road, who have infested it for the past two months. The police have for some time used their best en- deayors to break up the gang which hangs around the place, and only a couple of days ago arrested six deni- zens Last nights fire was discovered by James Logan, living at the corner of East and Walnut streets. He was sitting on the front stoop of his resh dence last night and was attracted by bright flames shooting up from one cor ner of the building. In an instant al- most the whole roof was in flames. He secured key to box 131, corner of East and Walnut streets, and several com- panies responded to the alarm. They were steamers 4 and s, truck i and chemical 1. Several lines of hose were soon playing on the flames, but it was over two hours before they were en- tirely extinguished It was necessary for the firemen to tear off nearly all the sheathing in order to drown out the burning sawdust and shavings between the outer and inner walls. The shaw ings made sparks which were blown quite a distance by the wind People living in the vicinity were kept busy putting out the sparks which were blown onto the roofs of their residences. The roof of a house at No. 15 Walnut street, owned by Captain Darby of hose company No. and occupied by Charles Pardee, caught fire from spark and the men from chemical No. extin- guished the blaze.
 The origin of the fire in the ice house is mystery, but it was in all proba- bility the work of some tramps. Some of the people in the neighborhood were of the opinion that it was set on fire by one of the tramps recently arrested iii order to get even with the police. The loss is about $500. It could not be learned whether there was any insur- ance on the building or not. The recall yas sounded at 10:45.
