Work for the New Depart
ment Chief.

William T. Belt, the new chief OF the fire
department, received a warm reception this
afternoon, the first day Of his Official recog-
milton as the official head Of this important
branch Of the District government. Shortly
before l o'clock he was called to the mill
and warehouse of Silas 8. Daish. Florida
avenue and Brentwood road. where fire had
started in the warehouse filled with hay.
Beneath the large quantity of hay in the
frame building the horses are stabbed. but
there were not many animals In the struc--
ture when the fire started. There was
Baltimore and Ohio freight car in the build
ing. and the big vehicle was removed only
after 1t had been badly damaged. The af-
ternOon train on the Metropolitan branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio was delayed at
the New York avenue crossing. with a num-
Der OF passengers on their way to attend
court at Rockville.
Upon the arrival of the two companies
at the scene of the fire in response to the
first alarm the f1remen saw that they could
not cope with the flames. and q second
alarm was sent in. 1t took the combined
force but short time to get the uameS
under control.
Cause of Fire Unknown
The police reserves from three precincts
responded to the second alarm. but
had very little to do, as the hot weather
kept the crowd at distance. Very little
of the frame warehouse was saved, and the
hay was rendered valueless. The origin OF
the fire IS not known. 1t is believed 70
have been caused by sparks from railroad
train or from spontaneous combustion.
Fire Marshall Bieber was on hand to as
sess the damage. He expressed the belief
that the loss will not exceed 5000 SO far
as the building and stock are concerned.

The sermon by the pastor was based
on a part of Luke 24:29-"Abide with
us for it is toward evening"" The
text was used in an Accommodated sense
making a day as type of life, the
evening of which may suggest old age.
The particular day, the evening of
which is named in our text, was post
poned as having in it variety OF ex-
periences common to life. In life's
evening when the friends of other days
have left us and we "sigh for the
|
sound of voice that is stilP' we may
5 crave the society of other frien Is.
The guest of our text was not recog-
nized till just beforelhe had vanished
= He would shortly "Abide" but by ar

It if we should feel ourselves in the even

upon us the morning of a perfect day
