 The firemen are very much worked up over the probability that the matter of salaries is in as unsettled a condition as ever One of them said last night that it seemed a curious coincidence that the corporation counsel, to whom the firemen paid $500 for working at the last session of the legislature to have their salaries fixed so that they could not be juggled, should now rem der an opinion, informal though it is, that the schedule of salaries adopted by the common council, which Is the same schedule which he endeavored to have the legislature adopt, is unconstitu- tional.

MAY BE WELL TO LOOK IT OVER.

TO Inc Ed1tOr or the Journal and Courier:
 In cons dering the propositions of the commissioner of public works would it not be well to inquire concerning the rights of New Haven to the roadway leading to Tomlinson bridge. If It shall be found that the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad claim ownership not only to the roadway and all approaches to the bridge, on the west side but to portion of the bridge itself, then the city council should act accordingly.

LYMAN HOME scoRcHED.
Close Call by Fire Oran Elegant sub.
urba Residence.

The III. w. Lyman residence about
a quarter of a mile EAST of the city,
had a vesy narrow escape from
destruction by fire about noon Mon
day.
The residence is out of the city
limits and beyond the possible assist
ance of the regular fire department,
but when Hoseman Sam Jones re-
ceived the telephone notification he
thought that 1.-THE department had
better go to the assistance of the
people and render what service they
could. 1t was fortunate that the
company did go out tor they were the
direct means of saving the house.
They fought the fire with the chemical
tanks that r carried with the hose
wagon, and with a small inch hose
that was attached to the service water
plug at the house.
The fire caught in the basement
from a fire that seemed to have
originated in an ash pit beneath a fire
place. The fire burned up unnoticed
and caught some shelving against the
brick wall. The flames were COM
municatedto infiammable material in
the cellar room and the floor was
soon ablaze. The fire had burned up
between the partitions of the rooms
and in a few moments more the house
would have been doomed to destruc-
ton. The timely appearance of the
city fire department was all that
saved the property. Hoseman Jones
located the fire and assisted by John
Bird, Harve Carr and others soon had
the fire out.
IL was a close call for a fine resi-
dence, and Mr.. Lyman is grateful to
the department for their assistance.
The loss will be about 5000, covered
by insurance.
