STATE FIRE FIGHTERS TO
HAVE ANNUAL MEETING

Local firemen are much interested
in the coming state convention of
their organization which will be held
at Blue Island, near Chicago, Aug.
5, and Z. 1t viii be one of the
greatest meetings of its kind in the
northwest. There will be every pos
sible test known to the tiremen's art
during the three days for prizes
amounting to $4,000, but the local men
will not enter any of the contests,
according to present plans.
The collection of fire statistics is
one of the great works of the state
association. Its other objects are to
improve the technology of the SER
vice, perfect indemnity. and elevate
in every possible way the calling of
firemen. whether paid or volunteer.
There are seventy-two cities and
towns whose departments have kept
a careful record relating to losses.
insurance, etc. These seventy-two
towns represent an urban population
of over 100000, with an average popu-
lation of 5000. There was in 1901 an
average of twenty-five fires to each.
Chicago had 5000 and Peoria 400, and
these added to the above ratio in
dicates a total of 10000 fires in the
state. The loss was $10,000,000.
The aggregation of seventy-two
towns shows that there were 265
fires caused by defective flues, which
may be counted upon to lead the list.
Thus nearly S2.OO0,O0O of the loss to
Illinois was due to what must be
called ineXcusable ignorance. This
ed to minimum by legal precau-
tions. One hundred and fifty fires
were due to the careless handling of
matches.
One hundred and twenty-eight fires
were due to sparks from engines, Sc
fires were due TO spontaneous com
bustion, 100 to incendiaries and % to
lightning. Bonfires caused ten. some
of which were extensive, and the APP
parently harmless pastime of burn
ing grass caused thirty-eight.
In Bloomington twelve fires were
due to carelessness with CRATES. As
these are usually handled they are n
menace to any house. In East st.
Louis twenty-five, and in Mattoon
thirteen fires were due to careless
handling of matches. Twenty-siN in
Galesburg were due to engine sparks.
There are many strange and peculiar
fires. At Elgin a fire resulted from
a cat jumping against a clothes rack,
pushing it against heated stove. A
man smoking in bed caused another,
and at Clinton. H., fire came near
sweeping n large business center
caused by mice gnawing into large
box of matches in grocery store.

FOR PROCLAIMING.
The Home of Mr.. Frank Wilson Des-
troyed by Fire With Its Contents.
(Snecial Dispatch to The TfmCs.)

Especial Dispatch to The Tfmes.)
MEHERRIN, VA, April 29.-several OF
the most prominent politicians of this sec
ton have been heard of late to express
their opinion in regard to the new Con-
stiiu ton. and judging from this 1t IS quite
evident that the people are in favor or
proclaining it. They are opposed TO an
extra election expense, and claim that the
best men were sent to frame this Con-
stitution, and they well knew the wants
of the people and went cautiously IN the
construction of the same, and therefore
they are satisfied with the result.
The home Of Mr.. Frank Wilson, stu
ated near here, in Prince Edward county,
took fire yesterday from defective fue
and was destroyed with all It's contents
except a sewing machine, trunk and bed.
which were saved by his wife, who, with
her little child, was the only occupant of
the house. Mr.. Wilson himself was some
distance away at his work. and when he
arrived the whole house was mass of
burning embers. No insurance was car
ried on his personal property. as well as
the dwelling, which was owned by Hon.
j. j. Owen, and the disaster Is quite a
blew to Mr.. Wilson, who has only been
married about two years and started life
to himself.
A fierce wind was blowing In a south
east direction, which set some outbuild-
fngs on fire, and they, too, were destroyed.
His friends arrived In time to assist him
in moving his corn and a few other
things, which they saved.
