Oommittee of SnfotX.

The town council should at onoe
appoint about fifteen men, good
oitizene. past the age for fighting
fires, as a COMMITTEE of Safety"
around fires, to look after and care
for property. These men should
serve without pay, and have full
police authority to make arrests.
Another thing that should be done
is to locate hose reel in each
ward. The distance from thepres-
ent central point is too long run,
should FIRE break out in either
extreme end of the town, as was
the case of Capt. Armstrong's prop

FIRE.
Residence of Captain john ARM
sLrong Licked up by
FLAMES,


From ThuEsday's Daily.
About 800 O'Clock this morning
an alarm of fire was sounded BY
the blowing of whistles and when
discovered, the handsome suburban
residence of Capt. John Armstrong
was found to be the victim of the
flames.
AS soon as possible the citizens
and the fire department responed,
and all was done that was possible
to qave the contents of the house,
the department not having hose
enough to reach frc m the FIRE plug
under the B. & o, bridge to the
building.
The distance from the burning
building to the fire plug which is
the last plug on the line in this
ward, is some $500 feet, and the
fire company having only 1,2OO feet
of hose, was of course unable to
throw stream of water on the fire.
Had the alarm reached the de-
partment sooner, and had they the
necessary amount of hose, would
have made desperate effortto save
the property, because these boys
are fire fighters if half chance is
theirs.
The building was an immense
frame structure and was an old
land mark; having been erected
shortly after the civil war.
BY the hardest of work of those
who were first on the scene, por.
ton of the household goods were
saved, but the loss is heavy one,
We understand the property was
partially insured.
Captain Armstrong who is in
very poor health, was taken from
the house to the home of his son,
Mr.. Eugene Armstrong, who lives
on the same premises. The Gap
tain's wife is visiting her daughter
Mrs. Ed, Somerville at Hunting
ton.
None of the adjacent property
was damaged, but had there been q
strong breeze, much greater would
have been the conhagration.
