been investigating the claim of one John
G.. Todd. a correspondent of "Talkative
Facts" that he is a travelling nan OF this
State. ''Talkative Facts" is a periodical
published in New York city in the inter-

Der would probably supper Bryan. Todd
has represented himself 10 be a CONNER
c.al traveller and a out the impression
that he was connected with the A. Kiefer
Drug Company.
]. c. Norris and Rolla Harris. not having
much faith in Todd's identity with the
commercial travellers and doubling the
truthfulness of the reports sent out by
him. concluded to investigate his standing.
They called on the A. Kfefer Drug Com
pany. and there learned that no such man
as John G. Todd was employed by the
company. After considerable investigation
they found two or three men who rave out
the information that John c.. Todd IL not

man to the dining car of the Big Four
limited and fell unconscious TO the floor.
The attendants and physicians on the train
were unable to revive him before reaching
here.
Drs. Ford and Garstang, Of the Big Four,
were called to attend him, and after an
examination said they had no hope what
ever of his recovery.
Mr.. Wolcott was en- route from Boston
&c st. Louis. The Pullman porter said
Wolcott gave him a telegram when he en-
tered the train with instructions to send it
in case he became i'll. The message was
to his wife advising her Of his serious ILL
ness. The fact that the message was writ
ten in advance indicated that he had be-
fore suffered from apoplectic strokes and
feared he might be suddenly attacked and
unable to reveal his identity and the
whereabouts of his relatives.
After reaching here his effects were ex-
amined for the purpose of positive identifi-
cation. A letter in his pocket showed he
would be met at st. Louis, Mo-, by his
daughter, Camille Wolcott, and that he
bad a brother. Grove H.. Wolcott, at Jack

Messages were sent at once to the ad-
dresses found, and Mrs. Wolcott replied
by saying she would leave at once and will
arrive here tonight at IL o'clock. His
daughter in St. Louis will be here this
morning. The doctors expressed the fear
that their patient would not live until the
arrival of relatives.
The firm of Wolcott s. Co is one of tho
old private banking firms of Boston and
New York and is. rated at several million
dollars.

THE REPORT PREPARED
SPECIAL COUNCIL COMMITTEE
AGREES UPON RECOMMENDATIONS.
They VIII Call for an Expenditure of
100000 to Improve Fire
Department.

The special committee of the City Council
that has been investigating the needed i'm
provements in the fire department met last
night and decided to make a report to the
Council tomorrow night setting out the i'm
provements which should be made at once
and providing a means for paying for
them. Mr.. Negley was the only member
Of the committee who was absent, the
other six members agreeing to the report
which was prepared.
The report will three new
hosehouse to be located In various parts
of the city. One will be located in Cerea-
linetown, one near Twenty-fourth and Ash
streets, and the other near the corner of
Harlan street and English avenue. Three
new hose wagons will be recommended,
two new engines of the latest improved
pattern, one aerial truck, two service
trucks, and a complete new fire alarm sys-
tenn as recommended by Fire Chief Barrett
and Chief of Fire Alarm Holderman. In adj
dition to the improvements to be recon-
mended the report will also recommend the
purchase of first-class fire hose as recon-
mended by Fire Chief Barrett.
The committee figures hat the improve
ments to be recommended will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000, based upon esti-
mates furnished by the manufacturers of
apparatus and architects, who figured the
cost for the three new buildings and the
improvements of the headquarters, where
the new fire alarm system will be operated.
The committee will also insist upon the
Board of Safety spending the money to its
credit for the improvement of the various
frehouses. To provide for the payment of
the Improvements the special committee
will recommend in it's report that 500, 600
worth of serial bonds be issued, SIS, 900
worth TO be paid every five years. The i'm
provements TO be recommended by the
mmi will include the new apparatus
as set out and the purchase of three sites
for the three new houses and the buildings.
The equipment will be provided for at a
future time. Members of the committee
said last night that they would have liked
TO recommend all the improvements as
recommended by the insurance men, but
the finances of the city at the present time
would not permit the Council TO make such
extensive improvements.

Democrats Against County Ticket.

An organization known as the indie
pendent Democratic Club has been formed
IN the Thirteenth ward, and 1t already has
a membership of over fifty. The clubs OBJ
1ect. it is said, is to defeat the Democratic
county ticket. The hardest fight will be
made on Jacob Woessner, candidate for
sheriff. The opposition to him is said to
grow out of the fact that Councilman Ed
lard Bernauer has been one of his warm
est advocates, and is now helping him to
manage his campaign. 1t is said the
democratic county managers have made
three attempts TO organize a club In the
ward that would be faithful to the whole
ticket, but have failed in each instance.
