oTIGATION MADE.
Why Box As Was Struck While
Parade Was in Progress.
superintendent Aydon Fully In
quired Into the Matter. There
Was a Slight Blaze and Off
Ger Green Pulled the Box.

Jonathan W. Aydon, superintendent of
the police and fire alarm system upon
reading the article in yesterdays Sun
about the Republicans believing that the
bringing out of the fircmen on Saturday
night was Democratic trick TO break
up the parade, started out at once to
make an investigation with the intrn-
tion of prosecuting the party who pulled
the box, in case Il false alarm had been
sent in from box 45, Delaware avenue
and Van Buren, street
He astcrtained that Officer Green had
struck the alarm having seen flames
issue from the roof of the residence of
Mrs. McIlyainc, No. l0lt Park Place.
An investigation showed that the flames
came from the chimney from which
sparks were flying. The fire was soon
CNtinguishcd.
Superintendent Aydon says there has
not been a false alarm Of fire sent in for
three years and hc stands ready to prose
cute any case that may occur.
Fire Chief Welsh said yesterday after
noon that the fircmcn were compelled
TO respond when the alarm was struck
no matter what kind of Il parade was
on the street.
He was ut Fourth and Market streets
when the box was sounded and first
thought il was box 25
He started for that box but met a
Fame Hose fireman who told him
their Indicator showed box 45. lie then
hurried to the box. When he reached
it he found Officer Green there and
learned that he had struck the box.
He thought the box ought not to have
been struck and that more use ought to
be made of the chemical engines, which
can be reached by telephone.
On Saturday afternoon the alarm was
struck because small quantity OF
excelsior was on fire. The companies
are thus often given useless runs.

what led to the secrecy observed.

a Christian or anyone TO drink wine is
a great stumbling block. 1t is an awful
sin in this country of ours to drink
alcoholic drinks. Aged men should be
sober and contented, the young men
should be sober aud wise. The husband
is the head of the family, the same as
Jesus Christ is the head of the church.
