FEW SMALL FIRES.
The Department Kept Busy, in Fact
on the Run, Last Niqht.


Three fire alarms were sounded last
night between IL and 1880 o'clock,
but there were only two fires. The
third alarm came from the shops whis-
tie, but this was caused from the en-
gineer at the shops having just dis
covered the second fire. at which the
firemen were working when the third
alarm was sounded
The first alarm came from box 4.
The fire department were out on time
and made a fast run to the buildings
occupied by Contractor McQuade on
Railroad avenue. just opposite the Ho-
tel Highland. When the firemen arriv-
buildings, which are about two and
half feet apart, and the blaze was rap
idly eating up the sides of the two
buildings, having already reached the
roof. The fire was at the extreme rear
of the buildings and was nowhere near
the fiue, and from all indications had
started at the bottom of the buildings.
The firemen had the flames extinguish-
ed in a short time. The store room oc-
cupied Mr.. McQuade was damaged con-
siderably, but the carpenter shop was
not affected to any great extent.
The firemen had just finished the
final inspection and were ready to re-
turn to the station when the mocking
bird whistle announced another fire
Everything being on the wagon they
lost no time in reaching the scene of
the second conflagration, which was a
small frame shed or outhouse in the
lot adjoining the large frame building
formerly occupied by SANDY" Ward
we'll at the east end of the viaduct
The building was all ablaZe when the
fire department reached the place. The
barn, which was about fifteen feet from
the burning building. was already on
fire, but by the use of the chemicals it
was saved, the side next to the burning
building receiving only a burned sur
face. About ten minutes after this fire
had started an alarm was sounded by
the shop whistle. The shops depart
ment responded, but the flames had
been subdued and there was no need
of their services.
Some doubt seems to prevail as to

STOCK TRAIN WRECK.
Fatal Rear-End Collision on Illinois
Central Road.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-Two men were
killed, five seriously injured and six
others slightly injured in a rear-end
collision of an east bound stock train
on the Illinois Central at Cloverdale
today.
The dead are: William Poston, of
Marcus, Iowa; - Jackson, fireman.
All but the conductor, who was hurt,
and fireman, who was killed, were
stockmen.
The collision occurred in a dense fog
which prevented the engineer of the
second train from seeing the train
ahead until almost upon it, The occu-
pants of the caboose of the first train
were likewise unaware of their danger
until their car was practically tele-
scoped. The wreckage caught fire and
the caboose and five cars of stock were
consumed.

THE NATIONAL SENATE.
Reject Nomination for Attorneyship-
Considering Canal Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 2-The senate
committee on judiciary today agreed
to recommend that the nomination of
William Byrne, for United States dis
trict attorney of Delaware, be rejected.
This action was taken after quite an
extended discussion. The ground for
the action was the connection of
Byrne with Delaware politics. 1t was
agreed to delay the report in order to
give the president an opportunity to
withdraw the nomination.
The senate committee on foreign re-
lations today considered the Colum-
bian canal treaty but did not complete
it, The committee will meet again to-
morrow. Senator Morgan offered a
number of amendments which We're
not accepted.

the fires being of incendiary origin. IL
there are fire bugs at work there is lit
tie evidence of any great motive be-
ing behind their deeds. Not one of the
fires in the past few days have been of
nature that any great damage could
result.
Mr.. McQuade carried no insurance
on the stock, and the building owned
by Judge l.. S. Trimble was insured
lightly.
There are several opinion as to how
the fire originated, none of which can
be substantiated.
The fire in the. outbuilding at the
east end of the viaduct is thought to
have been the work of Migrants, who
were looking for a place to rest their
weary bones. AS is their custom, fires
to give warmth to their chilled car
casses are built on the floor or any
convenient place. Should it be true
that the city Is infested with fire bugs
the police will soon have them under
cover.
The fire department made a run to
the Santa re yards Sunday morning
about o'clock, but upon their arrival
they found that there had only been a
small blaze at one of the switch shan
ties, which had been put out without
much trouble.

DROPPED OVER DEAD.
Sudden Demise Of Epimanio Tafoya at
His Barelas Home.

The funeral services of Epimanio
Tafoya, who dropped dead at his home
in Barelas yesterday morning, will
take place at the San Felipe church in
old town tomorrow morning at 3
o'clock.
Mr.. Tafoya's sudden death was quite
a surprise to his friends. His death
is supposed to have been caused from
heart trouble. He complained of a
pain in his breast Saturday, but no at
tention was paid to it, aside from the
use of simple remedy, and the calling
of a physician was thought not neces-
sary. He was conversing with few
friends Sunday morning, when with
out any warning he dropped over dead.
His family were in Los Lunas. where
they have been visiting, but they has
tened home when the sad news of his
death reached them.
The remains were prepared for
burial by j. w. Edwards The body
will be laid to rest at Santa Barbara

in token of the fact that the city of
New York is just $50 years old. was
on February 2, 1853, that New Amster-
dam became a city by virtue of de-
cision reached by the Amsterdam
Chamber of the West Indian COM

to New York and the first mayor was
Thomas d. laval. 1t is very doubtful
if the first mayor ever dreamed of the
great changes that would be wrought
under the administration of his sue
cessors during the next two and half
centuries. In the western metropolis
