When the apparatus drew in at head
quarters after the terrific race. the horses
were Quivering and gasping, reeking with
sweat and foam, and apparently at the
end of their string Of endurance. The
trouble was all caused by accidental con-
tact of the fire alarm wires in some part
of town with some other electric wires
THE alarm came in in sort of unsteady
fashion said Chief Wilmarth 1T did
not sound just like box alarm. The in
tervals between the strokes was some
what uncertain, but the best we could
make out Of it was IL So we went to
box Al at Twentieth and Van Buren
streets There was no fire in sight, and
so we telephoned from grocery store to
central, asking for information Central
told us that the alarm came from box 81,
which is a Wolns packing house We
went from Twentieth to Wolns packing
house, and there was no fire there 1t
was a hard run
The total distance covered on the run
was 3 miles and 80 feet, or somewhat
over 81 long blocks. 1t is one of the long
est runs ever made by the department.

OVER THE MOUNTAINS
A Fine Turnpike Road From
Ashe to Wilkes Is to be
Built by Convicts.

There is on foot an enterprise which
will do much to retard the tendency of
events to put Ashe, Allegheny and Wa
tauga counties in closer connection with
Virginia than with the other sections of
North Carolina.
This enterprise is the projected turn
pike road between North Wilkesboro and
Jefferson, which will closely unite Wilkes
and Ashe counties, which has passed the
pro]ected' state, as active steps have
been taken to begin work on the road,
which will be thirty miles long.
The road is to be built by State con-
vets, and their use has been authorized.
A large number Of tents have been pur-
chased and IS soon as these and the nee
essary machinery arrive active work will
begin.
The intention is to make this road one
of the finest pieces of turnpike road in
the country, so perfect that an automobile
line can be put in operation, or an cleo
trio railway as both of these have been
talked Of People who ere interested be-
lIeve that such line would pay, and it
will be great step forward for Ashe,
Allegheny and Watauga counties, open
mig up a new section, and doing much
to make these counties known and to
bring in investments.
These three counties from the extreme
northwestern limit of North Carolina
and because of the mountains they are
largely removed from the rest of the
state while access is easy into Virginia.
The turnpike road leading from Jeffer-
son in Ashe county to North Wilkesboro
in Wilkes, would put the three counties
mentioned in touch with the railroads
and would fully reclaim to North Caro-
lima this section of the State, which be-
cause of the physical conformation OF
the section is more closely in touch with
Virginia.
All information is that the turnpike
is a certainty, and its construction Will
be a matter of interest to the entire
State

ASKS INVESTIGATION
Richardson Resents Alder
man Germans Conduct.
States That German Visited the Cemetery Sun.
day Under the Influence Of Liquor and
Made Charges Against Him.

Mr.. j. II. Richardson, sexton of the
City Cemetery, yesterday made for
NAL demand upon the mayor for an IN
vestigation of certain charges brought
against him by Alderman Maxwell J.
German, and also of the same alder
mans conduct at the cemetery on Sun
day last. The mayor will call special
meeting of the board within the next
few days.
In his communication to Mayor Pow
ell, Mr.. Richardson states that Mr.. M.
j. German. the present chairman OF the
Cen etery Committee, went to the City
Cemetery on Sunday afternoon, April
9Th, at q time when there were many
visitors there, very much under the in
fluence of liquor, that his conduct was
very offensive. and that he made threats
Of bodily violence to Mr.. Richardson,
and brought two charges against him.
First, that he had wilfully collected
money from the city to pay him for
hurying a pauper in the City Cemetery.
Second, that in the digging of graves,
for which he gets a compensation, and
is his own work, he made use of the
help given him for other purposes by
the city.
Mr.. Richardson claims that these
charges and Mr.. Germans conduct both
deserve investigation, and in justice to
himself and the city he formally demands
that the mayor have them Investigated.

BURIAL OF CECIL RHODES.
The Body Committed to the Tomb in the
Matoppo Hills.
(By the Associated Pressl


Bulawayo, Matabeleland, April TO-
Amid an immense throng of soldiers, ci-
villains and natives, the body of Cecil
Rhodes was today committed to it's rock
tomb in the Matoppo Hills. The fun
eIal procession was five miles long as il
wound through the hills and gorges.
Twelve oxen hauled the coffins to the
almost inaccessible summit of the kopje-
where 1000 natives had assembled to
witness the Christian interment rites
which they afterwards supplemented in
their own fashion by the sacrifices of
fifteen oxen to the shade of a great dead
chief
The interment was extremely impress
sive. The Dead March echoed
through the hills and the natives stood
like statues. Tears were in the eyes of
many of the onlookers. The Bishop OF
MashoDaland conducted the service.
When the coffin was lowered into the
tomb chiselled in the solid rock, all those
present sang "Old Hundred" and "Now
the Laborers Task is Ger" The re-
maiEder Of the funeral service was
chanted and the band played the Dead
March" in Saul" The tomb was COW
cred with wreaths.

TO HOUSE CONvICTs.
Plans Discussed For Providing Permanen,
Quarters for Those Working Roads

Chairman Green and Mr.. Willard
Miel, of the Board of County Commits
sionors. to whom was referred at the
boards last meeting the matter of build
ing permanent quarters for the convicts
in the road districts, met yesterday and
consulted with Superintendent of the
County Home Allen and Road Superin-
tendent McMackin. 1t was not decided
where the first quarters would be built.
There is u probability that the road
district will be extended or some changes
made in the law. and for this reason it
was not deemed advisable for the quar-
tiers to be too close to Raleigh.
The board will give up the present
plan of having tents for the convicts,
thus moving the quarters about. This
was done on account of the expense. but
the tents do not last longer than about
one year and a frame building can
very nearly be put up for what the
tents cost. --s - .--~~.t '-<-
The county will have to erect frame
building large enough to house one hum
dred men. A place for sixteen horses
viii also be required. The county has
about seven acres beyond the old Wat
son place which could be used, but a
convenient location is very essential.
Chairman Greene's idea is to have frame
buildings at some convenient points and
let the convicts stay there, going out to
the work each morning. The convicts
are now quartered in rented place
about two and half miles east of Raj

originally favored reduction of 40 per
cent, and by Mr.. Shafroth (Colo), who
vigorously opposed the bill on the ground
that the sugar trust, which he said.
was waging war of determination against
the best sugar industry, would be it's
chief beneficiary.
Mr.. Henry (Miss.) supported the bill
on the ground that while unsatisfactory
it was a step in the direction of re-
duction OF duties.
The leaders of the House, who have
been much worried as to the outcome of
the controversy were considerably re-
lieved today when Mr.. Watson Undo .
who is acting as the Republican whip
upon this occasion, informed them that
after a careful canvas he was positive
that, when the attempt was made to
overrule the chair in order to make way
for amendment to abolish the differ
entail on refined sugar, the chair would
be sustained
On both sides 1T is conceded that the
uncertainty regarding the fate of the
bill hinges upon the question of overruling
the chair. Despite Mr.. Watsons can
vass, there are those among the oppon-
ents of the bill who still contend that
they will win the victory
