 A FIRE ALARM-A stovepipe In the basement of the convent school about o'clock last night set fire to a cup board and an alarm called out the fire department. There was ready re- sponse of the firemen with the appar- atus and some hundreds of the gen eral public The chemical arrived early and eNtinguished the flames so soon IL was not necessary to turn on the wate. and the damage was therefore trivial. The incident makes timely another calling Q: attention to the manner in which the people in this town turn cut to fires, though it is quite likely
  tom till the big apparatus runs over two or three persons and kills them. Last night when the alarm sounded the streets that the apparatus must neceS- sarily travel over were filled with peo- pie before the machinery cane into view and it was a wild scramble for some people to get out Of the way. On such an occasion if is the duty of the drivers to make all possible speed and the law gives them the right of way. StiH. they are human and do not like to run over human beings. and for some unaccountah'e reason citizens will not confine themselves to the sidewalk. where they belong. The bicycle riders are also deserving of mention. Be cause they can ride as fast fire engine they insist on escorting it or rid ing in front of it, when they could just as well wait till it passes or take an other street. SoEis day ore os them will hit a snaS or break a wheel and find himself looking up anxiously into the freboX of the steamer

The miner understood ] him to say thirteen dollars and gave him the money. and before he could re- cover from his surprise. led the wheel l away. He had never ridden a bicycle. l He conducted it around from saloon tp i saloon all evening. The city police at ! last saw him with it. and thinking he ! had stolen it locked him up, intending ! 10 lodge a charge of insanity against l him yesterday morning.
