Lost In the Snow.

VANCOUVER, E. C., Jan. 17.-News has reached here from Nelson, B. O., of the terrible sufferings of three min CTS and the death of a fourth from ex- posture in the mountains of the SIocan district, fifty miles west of Nelson. On Jan. J. F. Stevens, W. G. Thomas, s. Rockaway and M. Wall started across the mountain opposite Slocan City to visit the Bondholder claim. Be fore night they became lost in seven feet of drifts of snow on the mountain top. They missed their way and spent three days of torture, caused by the extreme cold and biting wind of the worst blizzard on record in that sec tion. On the fourth day Wall, Stevens and Thomas managed to reach a camp and at once sent back for Rockaway, who had been left exhausted on the trail. He was found frozen to death.

CONSTABLES AT WAR.
Claim Unauthorized Persons Are Get
 ting Their Business.

Deputy Sheriff Rametti and the seven constables are having a meeting this afternoon for the purpose of devis- ing ways and means to save them selves from what they term unfair competition from parties who are mas- querading about town as limbs of the law while not being clothed with any authority to act ill that capacity The row is not of recent origin, but has been on for some time past, though the thing seems to have been kept out of the public prints The crisis was reached the other night, however, when it is said that three or four fellows en- tered house in the north end and 'collared' crowd of poker players and pretended to be about to march them off to the lookup when one of the poker players asked if they could not settle their cases out of court. Then they got down to business, and, as the story goes, the matter was hushed up on payment of $500. There may not be any truth in this, but there ap- pears to be no doubt about the presence in the city of different par ties who make a business of coercing people into paying bills on the pre- tense that they are constables and naturally the men chosen by the peo- pie to perform this kind of service feel aggrieved and have brought the matter to the attention of the high sheriff and will also organize for mu- tual protection. So far no names have been mentioned, but it seems that at least dozen persons are acting as constables in Waterbury,
 It is said that MT Rametti's trouble consists mainly in the presence of the words, Deputy Sheriff" on window in Exchange place. He thinks that whichever deputy sheriff rents that of- flea should be compelled to put his name after the office so that people might know which of the deputies kept the place. It is doubtful if he can do this for there doesn't seem to be any reason why an officer cannot put the name of his office on the win dow and omit his name if he wants to- The battle is on, anyway, and it would be hard to tell where it will end

 Polls Theater.
 The enterprise started by the alum nae of Mt St Joseph, Hartford, to aid their alma mater in the building of q larger academy is meeting with great success. The hearty good will of everyone in the Brass City should go out to this undertaking.

FURNITURE NOT INSURED.
Fire in James MiIler's Apartments on
 Baldwin Hill

Fire in James Miller's Apartments on
 Baldwin Hill.
 Box AT, located at the corner of South Main and Washington streets, was pulled this morning by Conductor Hull, an employe of the Connecticut Lighting and Power Co, calling the de- partment to the residence of James Miller on Baldwin Hill, where fire was in progress. The firemen respond ed promptly, laid about a thousand feet of hose, extending from Baldwin ave nue to the scene of the fire, and ex- tinguished the flames in remarkably short time, but not before almost ev- erything of any value in the Miller residence was destroyed and consider able damage done to the building. If the department had been notified ten or fifteen minutes earlier the damage would not have amounted to anything worth mentioning, but owing to some misunderstanding on somebody's part it got a good start and came mighty near reducing the, whole building to ashes The house is two story build ing and is owned by Mary E. Futile of Ansonia. Charles Baxter and family live on the first floor. They suffered no damage The fire started from a defective chimney and set things afame in one of MT Miller's bedrooms. As soon as it was noticed someone called at Webster's drug store and asked him to call the fire department. It was said that the proprietor did not think that he had any right to do this on account of the district not being within the fire limits and refused to send in an alarm. In explanation of his position in the matter, Mir Webster told representative of the Democrat that someone had rushed into his place and wanted him to call out the fire de partment. The person, he said, had no definite information as to where the fire was and so far as he could tell there was nothing certain that there was fire any place in the neighbor- hood and he did not like to act on such meagre information. This looks more like the version of the case so far as 1t pertains to the Druggist. One of the women ran to the foot of the hill and hailed the conductor of a trolley car that happened along and asked him tO send ill an alarm. He too had some doubt as to whether he had a right to ring box for fire outside the old city limits. but he concluded to do it and take his chances. The first box he met was the one at Washington street. opposite the Waterbury Buckle Go. He pulled it and a few seconds later he saw the fire horses coming towards him at a mad ga1lop.
 Chief Snagg said this morning that the damage to the furniture and build ing will amount to something in the neighborhood of $500 or $4OO. The family carried no insurance on the furniture.
 With reference to the ringing of fire alarms it is safe to state that no one runs any risk in pulling box when he is sure that there is a fire. If il turns out to be some place where the department cannot render assistance that cannot be helped and the firemer nor anybody else will kick. The fault finding arises about when alarms are sent in when there are no fires at all or such trifiing ones that q woman could extinguish them with the aid o1 the tea kettle.
