1t is Up-To-Date, and Has q Most
Creditnble, Record.
Never before was the fire department
in so fine condition as al present. During
the past year all of the houses nave been
Improved, where Improvement was need
( ed, and they are now all comfortable and
present an attractive appearance.
During the year the Board Of Fire Com
missioners have added to its Broad-Strcet
house an up-to-date combination chemical
engine and hose wagon, which takes the
place OF the old chemical engine; also
the hose wagon. thus saving labor ard
expense and at the same time doing just
as effective work This is the third piece
OF apparatus of this description that has
been placed In service in this department..
and they have proven their value on
many an occasion. It is the intention of
the Board to place these combination
wagons in all the companies as soon as
possible.
About 1900 feet of new hose has been
added to the department during the year,
which will start the new year out i'll good
condition, as far as hose is concerned.
The regular reorganization of the de-
partment took place on July 1st last and
most of the old members were retained in
their positions. One of the most important
changes that was made was having the
captains of the companies in the central
part Of the city made stationed or per-
lnanent
Tue fire losses for 1900 while very large
as compared with that of past years, are
o.lly about normal when compared with
other cities of Richmonds size, and it is
not fattering the department when it is
stated that, had it not been of the highest
efficiency, the losses would have been
greatly in excess of what they were. 1t
is estimated that the fire loss in Richmond
during the year was about $3.50, 600, as. COM
pared with about $4,000 In 1899; but the
fire loss, it seems, has increased at an
enormous rate all over the country.
The. Board expects to place two new
engines In service during the coming year.
These engines viii cost about $1,000, and
are to take the place of two that have
been in active service for over fourteen
years, and are now Worn out.
The officers of the fire department are
as follows:
Capt. &W.G. Pnller, Chief; Captain Geo.
C. Shaw, First Assistant Chief: and L.
s. Jones, Secretary and Second Assistant
Chief.
The Fire Alarm Department has made
wonderful strides, under the capable man
agement oftSuperintende ent W. IA. Thomp-
son. and is now said by experts to be the
most up-to-date office in the country.

bad taste in seeking 10 influence the

not that make him all the stronger a

sUPRsnE coURr.s DECISION.

sUPREAE cOURT's DECISION.
Last summer. Judge Dixon Of Pueblo
issued writ Of injunction restraining the
state board OF assessors, body created
BY the new revenue Law, from proceed
ing to tax the corporations. The state
took an appeal to the supreme court.
which issued a writ Of prohibition re
quiring Judge Dixon not to interfere with
the state board. The supreme court
subsequently, ruled, in the absence OF
Chief Justice Campbell, that no court
had any right to interfere with that body.
the governor or any other state official in
pursuit Of his duty. Attorney General
Post advised the state board OF assessors
that the writ of prohibition meant re
establishment OF the status quo and that
the board could proceed as though Judge
Dixon had never issued 4 writ of injunc
ton. The board proceeded to assess the
corporations and now has been caught
up standing by the supreme court by an
opinion by Judge Campbell that it was
in contempt of the supreme court. The
attorney general is censured for his ad
vice and all are turned loose with a
warning 10 do 50 no more. Then the
court tells the board Of assessors to pro
eeed to do its work over again. Mr. Jus.
tice Steele gave notice of a dissenting
opinion from that of Justices Campbell
and Gabbert.
Hardly had the decision been read
when the railroads secured from Judge
Hallett an order restraining the board
from assessin the corporations. at the

Bowed down in grief are the people

American citizens through whose

have either bended the knee or barred
the head in humble submission to the
will OF Him sl1 doeth all things well
and to honor the memory of an illus

wee mite of a spec in the aggregate
at the same time we lay claim to just
as loyal. just as patriotic, and just as
sincere mourners over the death Of
William Mckinley through the hands
of an assassin as any community un

brought as near home as to those re-
siding at Canton, or to those who
have been personally and intimately
acquainted with the deceased. but we
have reference to the world at large.
