not well understood. On June ! his trouble
became so serious that he was sent to New
York to consult specialists. 1t was thought
an operation would be performed, but after
an examination the specialists decided that
it would be better for the patient first to re-
build his health.
He was sent to his summer home Bar
Harbor where he spent several weeks. He
spent most of the time there in bed. and it
was realized that his case was hopeless
In September he returned to Buffalo. Some
important legal matters in which he was
Interested were disposed of, and Mr. Bfssell
was again forced to bed. He suffered no
pain, sleeping most Of the time.
When awake his mind was always clear
and he conversed with members OF the
family and the physicians. During the lat
ter part of his illness numerous messages
of inquiry were received from former Pres

ADDITION TO FACILITIES.
Chief Belts Anticipations Regarding
Fire-Fighting Department.

Chief ReIt of the fire department expects
the new sixty-fve-foot aerial truck and the
three combination hose wagons that are De-
ing built for the department to arrive mere
about the 18th of this month. The new
truck is to take the place of truck f. IN
GEORGETOWN. and will be the lightest piece
of apparatus OF it's kind in the department.
1t is to be placed in Georgetown because the
truck that is now in use there Is too heavy
to be drawn over the steep grades In some
sections of the town. 1t Is the intention OF
the chief to place the new COMBINATION
wagons in engine houses 2. = and H. Each
vehicle carries seventy gallons OF the chem.
ical that Is used at fires. by the use Oh
the chemicals at fires water damage is
frequently prevented. Should the chemical
fail no trouble need be experienced In
making the water attachment.
Truck G house on Sth street southeast IS
nearing completion and Chief Belt hopes
to be able to take possession OF 1t before
the first of the year. The men for the COM
pany have been selected and the compile
ton Of the house is all that Is needed to
give better fire protection to Southeast
Washington. The establishment of this
company, it is conceded. will fill much
needed want in that section of the city, and
will greatly relieve Truck A company. The
latter company is long distance from the
navy yard. and the yard officials will rest
easier with a company OF District hremen
near the buildings. Additional protecuon
for this section will be asked by Chief Belt
for next year. 1t is his intention to ask
for an appropriation for the erection of an
engine house on the site of the old Anacos-
tia fire company. on the triangle north of
Virginia avenue between Sth and 9th
streets The old company was established
there years ago. and the little building has
since been used for school purposes.
In his efforts to get this additional pro-
lection Chief Belt will have the assistance
tf IA Washington Citizens ASSOcia-
ton and the navy yard officials. At this
time the engine company in the city nearest
the navy yard has a run of about fourteen
squares in order to reach the yard.

Municipal Gas Plant.
From the National Magazine.

From the National Magazine.
The city Wheeling. w. Va) owns its
waterworks. with pumping capacity of
2S.0G0000 gallons in each twenty four
hours with all engines running. The mu-
nicipality also owns and has successfully
operated for more than generation an ex-
tensive plant for the production of illum-
mating gas. and the great public benefit of
this venture on the part of the city can best
be shown by these figures: Under the old
private corporation the price of gas to the
consumer was $50 per 1000 cubic feet
Now IL is 10 cents per 900 cubic feet and
in addition the revenues of the works pay
for and maintain at a high degree of effi-
cheney a street-lighting system of about 175
arc lamps. all without cent of expense to
the taxpayer. These two municipal plants
gas and electric-represent an investment
of about 81. Ooo.O00. and the properties could
be very easily sold for that amount.

Aqul hemos de fijar los dos peligros
