Some time during Tuesday night
some unknown person visited the prem
Uses OF Mrs. Codd, on River View ave-
nuc, in Park View. and poisoned thir-
ty head of fine chickens belonging to

Codd came down she saw her chickens
lying all around the lot dead She
could not keep from giving way to her
feelings. She could not imagine why

that kind. Later in the day suspicion
pointed to Il negro boy who had been in
her employ. but was discharged q few
days before. The authorities are work
ing on the case, and hope to catch
him.

IMPROVING THE FIRE ALARM

The fire alarm system of the city is
undergoing material changes at the
hands of Mr. William NJ. Smith. who is
engineer OF the steam fire engine Vir-
ginia, and also superintendent OF the
lire alarm system. There has been
more or less trouble with the present
system on account of it's general ar
arrangement, and Mr.. Smith to obviate
any further trouble has mapped out a
plan which he thinks will greatly i'm
nrove the service and at the same
time, under the system which he has
thought out, he Will be enabled to at
once locate a break and repair it With
out any loss Of time.
& The Circuit SYSTEM" as Mr.. Smith
calls 1t, will unquestionably prove n
great success. as under this system n
break at any point will not put the
entire system out OF use. as frequently
: has been the case heretofore. The
boundaries OF the wards will form the
different circuits. =
