that the relief funds could be dis

For several hours yesterday the SEN
ate had the ship subsidy bill under con-
sheraton. Mr.. Mallory of Florida
made an extended speech in opposition
to the measure. He analysed the bill
carefully and held that there was no
good reason for it's enactment into law,
saying he believed it would not accom-
plish the results hoped for it by it's
promoters: His opposition was based
chiefly on the ground that it would ex
tend the favor of the United States
treasury to private individuals and
corporations without a just return for
the expenditure.

WEDNESDAY EVENING BLAZE.

AT few minutes past seven O'Clock
Wednesday evening an alarm of fire
from box 63 brought the department
to the residence of Edward Baker,
No. 8 Summer street, where lively
blaze threatened the destruction Of
his home.
Two streams Of water were upon
the flames in a few moments after
the arrival of the hose company and
the fire which originated from an eX-
ploding gasoline stove in the ell of
the house, was subdued.
During the excitement that prevail
ed the contents of the house were re-
moved and in the liveliest manner i'm
aginable -.s.>.: eSs.s W IN ssss
4 few minutes before the fire was
discovered Mrs. Baker had lighted a
gasoline stove and left it for few
moments Upon her return she dis
covered the ell in flames and the alarm
was Immediately given. The fire
worked its way up along the chimney
and broke through the roof but the
streams of water kept constantly play
ing upon the building reverted the
flames from getting much Roadway.
The house was drenched from attic to
cellar, and damaged by smoke. The
ell was completely Quilted and the
main house suffered a little damage
owing to the hasty manner in which
it was necessary to remove the fur
niture.
Nearly all the furniture was saved
Mr.. Baker carried no insurance. The
house was owned by the Putnam and
Marvin estates and was insured in the
Cambridge Mutual through the agency
of Jos. G.. Brown for 1000
While the fire was in progress some
guests of Mr.. Baker arrived in the city

house. Their surprise can be better

SUES FOR $40, 600.

The Capital City Gas Company
through its attorney, Hon. John SEN
ter of this city has brought suit in
the amount of $40, 900 against the Chi
cago House Wrecking Company for
an alleged failure to fulfill a con-
tract relative to the delivery of 30, 500
lineal feet of pipe.
The writ alleges that the defendants
were to deliver the entire amount
during the months of April and May
of the present year Which was not
done The pipe called for in the
contract was a certain lot taken from
the grounds of the Pan American Ex-
position at Buffalo.
The plaintiffs were required to give
a bond of $500 at the time the contract
was made and to pay for each carload
upon delivery, all of which they claim
to have done. But the defendants
failed to fulfil their part of the con-
tract as regards the delivery at the
time specified and an attachment was
levied upon the three carloads OF
pipe which have been in the Cen
trail Vermont yards for some time.
This suit will probably not inter.
fere with the company's operations
as the pipe was unloaded yesterday.
A force of forty Italians are awaiting
orders to proceed with the digging OF

1t is possible to realize something
more of what charming place an old

selected by the artist and his friend

found, within its terraced walls, un-
stinted material for their beautiful

GEN. PITKIN HOSE COMPANY
DISBANDS.

By unanimous vote the members
of Gen. Pitkin Hose Company dis
banded at meeting Of the company
held on Tuesday evening. For the
past six months the company has been
urging the necessity of providing a
horse for drawing its apparatus to and
from fires. The members hold that
their claim is just one, as the city
provides horse for the Volunteer
hose and hook and ladder companies.
A month ago the company came to the
conclusion that if a horse was not pro-
vided by July 1 it would disband.
The board of fire engineers presented
the situation to the city council at it's
last meeting and the matter was refer
red to the committee on fire depart
ment. The committee not having made
any provision for horses on Tuesday
the company met and disbanded.
The company was one of the oldest
in the State having been organized
in 1856. Its membership at this
time comprised twenty working men.
The city allowed the men $40 per year
for their services, but the men say
they lost money by belonging to the
company. After dragging their an
tedeluvian apparatus to and from a
fire, they were too tired to resume
regular work. The company has been
provided only with the cast off para
phernalia of the other companies
They did not expect such an up.to-
date equipment as the Volunteers,
who are practically self supporting
and purchased their own apparatus,
but they believe it to be as important
for the city to expend a little money
on the fire department as it is to pay
a salary of 81, 200 year for selling
liquor at the city agency. The men
say that if the city council shows a
disposition to do what they believe
to be the fair thing they will re-or-
ganize and consent to move from their
present hose house near the Lane
the Capital hall building, as had been
recommended by the engineers.
At present the city has only one
hose company and one hook and lad
der company, and the effectiveness of
these may be in jeopardy as the city
council and the liverymen, who have
furnished horses with which to draw
the apparatus, are at loggerheads
Last year the liverymen got about $50
to each company on a So 80 a trip
basis. Last month they notified the
engineers that the trip basis scheme
would be off on July and thereafter,
if they furnished horses, they would
do so on yearly contract of 5000 per
year for each company, otherwise
they would refuse to have anything
to do with the department. The coun-
Gil kicked on the price. So at present
there is no certainty that the two COM
panies named would be able to respond
to fire call in the quick time form
erly made. The engineers, however,
have provided horses for the compan-
les and they will be attached to the
apparatus all the night before and the
day of the Fourth, ready to respond
at once to fire alarm.
The engineers regret the situation,
believing it to be a serious one for the
city, but they say they have done all
they could to provide a remedy and
now it is up to the city council to
take action in the matter
