ward the moving of the armory. Yesterday
the large section was brought forward sew
| eral feet and the rear end started west so
as to avoid the market building The work
is being done by combination of block
and-tavkle and windlass placed at the
curbing on Wnooski avenue. The larger

are nine men employed in the work.
The greater part Of the people of this
city know little or nothing of the Four
Brothers islands. Those who are familiar
with them, however, say that the second
one is the nesting place of the seagulls
and in the brooding season the island,
which Is about two thirds the size of Juni-
per, is literally covered with eggs resemb-
ling, though somewhat smaller than, those
, of the turkey. The gulls lay their eggs in
the warm sand and then, like the mud
! turtle, desert them leaving them to the
sunshine and rain to hatch out by them
, selves.
The second of the usual series of three
, fires called out the department Friday
, morning at about 1870 o'clock. The alarm
was rung in from box 81 at the corner of
, Park avenue and Briggs street and the
, blaze proved to be in a small dwelling
owned by Abraham Ploof on Morse street
in Scarffs Addition. Stations No. l and
2 responded and it was soon extinguished
but not until considerable damage re-
suited. The origin is not known hut the
, circumstances seem to indicate that it was
of incendary nature. There was no insur-
ance Mr. Ploof and family run canal
boat in the summer and this was their
winter home.
