FIREMAN HARRINGTON DROPPED
Member OF Chief Sanger's Force Dis
missed for Unbecoming
Conduct Nh

Fire Chief Sanger was uphed last
evening at meeting of the fire and
water committee of the city council, in
MS recent discharge Of Fireman Har-
rington for drunkenness
Harrlngton's only excuse was that 9TH
err members Of the department were in
the habit of indulging freely in the bev-
erage which brings on temporary happi-
mess and he supposed he had similar
right. The fireman insister that he
should not be made an example Of by the
board for this reason. The committee
was unanimous in its decision.
Chief Sanger stated that he had en-
deavored to shield Harrington a number
or times, out of sympathy for the mans
mother but insisted that the frequent
misconduct the fireman had been guilty
OF made it necessary for the good of the
department that he be discharged, there
fore he asked that his action be upheld
by the committee. Two written certifi-
Gates from the city jailor were produced
to show that Harrington had been lock-
ed up In the city jail in order that he
might sober up Alderman Duggan
stated at the meeting that he was sur
prised that Harrington had not made
some kind Of a defense at the hearing.
He said that the fireman had told him
that Chief Sanger was prejudiced and
wanted to get rid Of him for that reason
only. Alderman Duggan voted with the
rest Of the committee to sustain the
chief.
The committee decided to recommend
that the petition of Thomas Mulholland
for the erection of a plunge bath at
Granite and Arizona streets be granted.
The bid of L. s. Mallory for hook
and ladder truck was accepted. The
cost to be $4,000 and the city to pay the
freight. -
A request from j. c. L. Graft and
others for a fire plug was not granted
by the committee.

DISASTROUS FIRE AT GEBO
SEQ, 900 Goes Up in smoke-Blaze
Started From Children Playing
With Matches.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Billings. Mont, June 12.-Fire destroyed
the hardware stock and large warehouse
of the Holland Lumber and Hardware
company in Gebo yesterday, together
with the dwellings of j. j. Holland and
Mrs. Hague, entailing a loss of about
$4,000, that of Holland Bros. being fully
covered by insurance of $40,
The fire is said to have originated in
the basement of the building occupied
by the hardware stock, supposed to have
been caused by children playing with
matches. The fire spread rapidly after
it started, and the town having no fire
projections, it vented it's fury on the
buildings adjoining.
Holland Bros, managed to save about
one-third of their stock by carrying it
from the burning building. The printing
establishment of the Carbon County Sem
tinel narrowly escaped destruction.

Apia, Samoa, May 29.-There is
much annoyance felt in the German col
,ony over the articles appearing in the
United States press about that place and
drawing comparisons with the govern
ment of the United States at Tutuila.
The criticisms are declared to be UNI
Sair. The German governor has, it is
'eaid, acted with great deal of tact in
dealing with the natives and succeeded
in the difficult task he had before him.
He has brought the rival factions to-
lgether and now there is desire to unite
and form strong government. The
natives are contented for they are left
[prety we'll to themselves and have not
'telt any harsh rule"
: There is danger of Tutuila being
overrun with worthless stowaways
from San Francisco and Honolulu. They
claim to be citizens of the United States
and have the right to land in Tutuila
under any conditions. Some dozen stow
always of all nations from the Australian
Estates have been ordered by the court
ITO be returned to the United States by

them, ana on the last down steamer
they were shipped away.
The government has succeeded IN pur-
chasing the whole of the native alien
claims on the beach front in Fagatoga.
This gives the government a long
stretch of sea front and land for all
purposes. One building, which was
bought. is being turned into a hospital
under the charge Of Dr. Blackwell of the
Abarenda.
Commander Tilly is quite impressed
with the native Samoans. as the follow

Peace was what the islanders needed
They had been warning perpetually and
the warfare interfered with produc-
tion. The soil voluntarily yields bread
fruit, cocoanut, and everything the Sa-
moan requires to eat, and there is really
no more reason why they should work.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that they
are inclined to idleness.

FLOOD is PROVEN.
Prof Wright Traces Signs to the Foot
of NIT. Arrarat.

New York. Feb 25.-I.etters have just
been received here from the Rev. Dr.
George Frederick Wright, the authority
on the glacial period and biblical geo
logy, telling of the results of his search
in Asia for evidences that the deluge
covered the whole earth.
DIR. Wright secured a leave of absence
from. Oberlin, -i1iO. university, and sail
ed for Japan early last year. He went
at once to Siberia and began his work
ant. The professor went all through ST.
IBERIA, and then proceeded to Syria via
the Ural and Caucasus mountains In
a letter received in New York last week
from him at Jerusalem Professor Wright
said.
The account Of the food in the bible
is not such as to lead US to expect much
direct geological evidence OF it, A sub
mergence Of a year. several thousand
years ago, would leave few signs which
are not cblitarated by time.
The Bible history stands on IT'S own
merits and has independent value The
main question or geological interest Is:
Are there fnsuperable objections to the
account2 The answer TO this question
turns upon the geological theories con-
corning the possible on probable rate at
which changes OF land levels may pro-
coed.
..Lyeu's theory or uniformitarianism
has been pushed too far and has had too
much influence in discrediting the theory
of geological catAstr0phes Professor
Prestwich's great work on geology does
much TO counteract the errors Of Lyel
and his followers
'Catastrophes comparable to the flood
are not strange things in geology. The
glacial period WAS connected with
series of catastrnphes. have Travelled
1000 niles in Asia to find evidences OF
the glacial period and have found none
There was no general giaciatfon Of East

men on the ear th. The Russia biologists
have recently found remains Of man
deep down In the deposits connected
with this period Of snbmergence
The one point Of certainty is that

which shows that the biblical account OF
