Ridgwood, N. j., has the unique po-
sition of insuring her fire department
against fire. When the village folk
read in the treasurers statement: ITO
fire policy on the chemical fire en-
CINE, $685." there was commotion
of cyclonic proportions. The storm did
not abate when the village treasurer
explained that he insured the machine
because the insurance agent was such
nice talker. According to the same
account this is the identical agent who
induced several persons to take out
policies on marble monuments in the
cemetery and to pay premiums to pro-
tect their water tanks against damage
by rain.

written law of the university boys
and then see the development that is
possible. One scarcely knows which
deserves the greater censure; the stu

cited to mobery because circus parade
was Objectionable, or the circus man
agement for its recklessness in banter
ing the boys to break the peace. Luck
lily fatalities and injuries were few, but
that was no fault of the principals.

The bottle, it is calculated, travelled
over three thousand miles between

HE MAY BE TAKEN BEFORE LEG
ISLATIVE BAR.
WON'T ANSWER QUESTIONS
John F. Carroll Also Offends the Mazet
Committee-Propr of Broad
way Garden Give Some Startling
Testimony Against Police Captain
Price.

New York, April 18.-In the session
of the Mazet legislative investigating
committee Monday Richard Croker
was again the principal object OF Mr.
Moss examination. The most import
ant development was the probability
that the Tammany dhieftain and Johr
F. Carroll will be the subjects OF con
tempt proceedings before the state leg,
islature adjourns. All during the
evidence Monday Croker parried the
questions of the counsel. An adjourn
ment of the committee was taken in
the afternoon until Friday morning
1t was stated last night that when Fal-
lows, of the committee, left in the af-
ternoon for Albany, he had instruc-
lions to prepare papers adjudging
Croker and John F. Carroll in con-
tempt for refusal to answer questions.
When the committee began it's in
quiry Monday, about the first thing
brought up was the resort known as
the Broadway Garden, which had
fiourished in the upper Broadway dis
trict for some time. In this place it
is alleged the robbery of former may
or of Trenton, Frank Mcgowan, took
place and Simon Butner, former pro-
prietor of the garden, and several
walters were examined. Butner
made startling charges against Police
Captain Price and the walters corrob-
grated him. Assemblyman Hoffman
offered a resolution to have certain
prominent men summoned before the
committee because of the rumOr that
a certain law firm "by and with the
assistance of other persons by corrupt
methods secured the passage through
the assembly, of the Astoria gas fran
chise whose real purpose, twas to en-
able the Consolidated Gas company to
force a consolidation or all the gas in
terests in the city, to the end that the
supply of gas might be controlled and
the price regulated by the So
called consolidation" Hoffman
wanted to subpoena the law firm
of Tracy, Noardman & Platt; Elihu
Root; incorporators of the Astoria
Heat, Light and Power company;
Thomas C. Platt; Benjamin B. O'Dell,
Lemuel E. Quigg and John. D. Grim
mons. The resolution was defeated
the 5 republicans opposing it, and the
2 democrats favoring it. Richard
Croker was called to the stand soon
after noon and occupied the attention
of the committee for the rest of the
session. He testified that the police
did not contribute a cent to the Tam
many campaign last year, but office
holders did. He could not tell the
amount of money raised last year;
nor did he know in what bank the
funds were kept. He said that he had
never received a cent from Burke
Cochran. He also swore that he was
never caught short with Manhattan
81" stock and did not lose $4,000.

SPRING.

The breath of spring athwart the
skies
Has cast a softened mantle DER
The barren waste where winter ruled
Supreme before.
The sunset tints western clouds
Resplendent in their varied forms;
The dawning day with mellow light
A hopeful world adorns.
The breezes mild wrap welcome arms
Round weary invalid, and kiss
Alike the cheek of childhood fair
And wrinkled age.
IT'S like another birth to man
The waning of a winter drear,
When natures magic brings release
And springtime skies are warm and
clear.
The forest buds proclaim the life
Again astir throughout our cline:
The merry birds in joyous song
Swell natures rhyme.
The wild flowers dot the hill and vale
In countless shades of living bloom,
The whole earth decked in spring
times smiles
Energies from the gloom.
The wintry winds Oft come adverse
And mortal spirit striving hard
Beneath the SHOWS of toll and care
Sinks meath the load;
Yet may the sunset tint thy clouds,
The flowers spring up in grand array
And mid the fame of thy success
The gloom of strife shall fade away.
