FIRE PRECAUTIONS,
Additional Measures Taken Fer Protection q
Post Office.

In making a water connection with
the Post Office building, some time ago.
the pipe supplying the fire stand pipe
or the building was cut off, and since
then there has been no force in the
stand pipe except from the pressure
of the tank at the top of the building.
This condition was discovered when it
was necessary to wash the building,
and recently the proper connections
were made giving the full fire pressure
IN the stand pipe the same as formerly
The hose which has been in the
building and connected with the stand
pipe since it was first occupied has
been discarded as being old and USE
less and an entire new equipment Of
the best linen hose and couplings has
been placed in every story of the
buildings strung ready for fire pur-
poses. In addition to this there have
been purchased six chemical fire ex-
tinguishers which have been placed at
available points in different parts of
the building and all ready for immedi-
ate use; and as an extra precaution a
number of fire pals have been placed
in various rooms and corridors where
they can be readily found. together
with fire axes and bars on every story.
In case of fire in any part of the
Post Office building the fire arrange
ments are under the supervision of
Elbridge Pedder and Edwin H. Gay.
assistant fire engineers Of the depart
ment, and working in the Federal build
ing
The instructions are that all valu-
ables are to be Immediately locked in
the vaults and sufficient water kept
turned on to prevent any too much
heat around them. Although there
has never been any fire in the building,
the great accumulation of infiammable
matter at all times renders every pre-
caution necessary, and with the large
now at the disposal OF the
men in the office it is felt that any
danger from fire is as far removed
from the building as possible

Conv House repairs.

The repairs on the Cony House are
nearly completed. They are all very
much appreciated by the guests OF the
house, and have placed it among
the best houses in the State as
regards internal arrangements. AS far
as being ably managed, Landlord Ran
dalrs reputation is too well known to
need comment. One of the last feat
ures to be added is a porch on the rear
of the house. A piazza has been built
from the back door which will make 1t
much more convenient In handling
baggage. A pretty gable awning Will
be built, supported by iron posts.

The Last Spike Driven.

A ride over the electric road, Friday
revealed the fact that the last and in
some respects the most important i'm
provement in the road the manage
ment has undertaken, is completed.
Mr.. Taylor, the popular superintendent
Of the road, deserves the thanks of the
public for the able manner in which
this extensive change has been carried
forward with SO little Inconvenience to
the patrons of the road. 1t may have
seemed little thing to do, as one rode
over the road daily and saw the cars
running so regularly during all the
weeks the new and elevated roadbed
was being made. especially when
the transfer from the old to the new
was obliged to be undertaken by piece
meal. and the most jealous care was
taken to continue the regular and
prompt service on which the popular
ity of the road so much depends.
BY this great change the wagon road
has been broadened, the electric road
Strengthened and more important than
all, is the extensive raising of the
track which was done by filling in with
earth between two sharp hills SO that
the grade is now very easy and pleas
ant to ride over. The patience and
politeness Of the conductors and motor
men during it all is also to be highly
