A Dangerous Blaze.

| 1t was clearly demonstrated Mon.
day afternoon that our waterworks
and f1remen were of special advan-
tage to our city in the way of protec.
ton to property.
| About o'clock fire was discovered
in the Sherman Phillips frame build
ing on Hoard street. The fire bell
was instantly set to changing, and at
once fire company members were to
be seen rushing from every conceiv-
| able business quarter for the fire
building and quicker than it takes to
tell of it had their paraphernalia in
order to contend with the hungry
flames. Notwithstanding this quick
action they got there none too soon.
The fire had gained such Roadway
that the building wherein it started
could not be saved, and the roofs of
dwellings across the street and the
one to the east had been reached by
the flames, and in few moments
more these too would have been be-
yond saving. To these the firemen
directed their attention and the
large streams of water brought into
action readily put out the different
blazes, and thus half dozen or more
homes were saved, as mostly all are
frame structures, closely huddled to-
getber, and the dry, hot weather
made everything favorable for first
class, rushing conflagration.
The building in which the fire
originated had been used as black
smith shop and also as Il carpenter
shop, but of late had been vacant
with the exception of two or three
buggies owned by George Phillips
and Will Plank, being in there, and
they were burned, also harness of
Mr.. Phillips. The loss through dam
age by fire and water sustained by
Mrs. Alfred Richards, whose home
is next to the east, was especially
heavy considering her circumstances
and there being no insurance on it.
The fire company contributed to her
relief on the spot in the neigborhOod
of $40, which is generous and praise
worthy act. The buildings across the
street sustaining damage are part of
the Isaac Tamblyn estate.
Thus were the advantages of the
waterworks illustrated; and, hurrah
for the firemen.

First Communion at st. Paurs Church.

On last Sunday morning Il very
striking and beautiful ceremony took
place at St. Pauls Catholic church.
A large class, which had been under
instruction for several months, re-
ceived for the first time the Sacra-
ment of the Holy Bucharest. The
church was Hastily decorated. That
June is the month of roses was
strongly in evidence, as the altar and
tabernacle were almost concealed
with roses of various species, send
ing pleasant perfume through the
church.
At 1880 a. m. the candidates for
First Communion assembled at the
winter chapel, where the young girls,
clothed in white dresses, arranged
their wreaths and wells. Then the
boys, neatly CARRIED, formed into line,
two by two, followed by the girls in
J the same order, and marched into
the church, the organ ct the same
time giving forth sweet, soft tones of
a pleasing march. When all were
assembled, Rev. Father Aid, form
er child OF the parish, few years
since himself having received his
First Holy Communion at the same
altar railing, robed in the rich vest
!. ments of the church, preceded BY
/ the altar boys, began his solemn ant

swALEDALE WORRIED.
Unpleasant Rumors Rife Of Chang
In Great Western Road.

Swaledale. Dec. 30.-A great deal of
concern is being manifested by the
citizens and property holders of the
town and in the vicinity relative to the
rumor of the proposed change OF grade
of the Great Western railroad. 1t IS
not probable that the road will be di-
verified but some important changes are
contemplated. What looks more prob
able than anything that has developed
is the fact that, the company has. dur
ing the last year neglected the road
from Burchinal to Meservey, having
only put what work was necessary to
keep the track in shape to warrant
the safe transportation OF trains. A
year ago, while the new steel was be-
ing laid the gang suddenly ceased work
two miles south of Burchinal and then
began about the same distance north
OF Meservey. The company has just
lately completed one of the finest
bridges along its route at Meservey
making 1t a great deal wider and more
permanent than We're the original
plans.

CITY AND COUNTY CLASH
Black Hawk County Presents Large
Bill to Waterloo.

Waterloo, Dec. 3e.-The county board
of supervisors threw boomerang into
the city council meeting last Monday
evening when they presented a bin OF
$7sS.65 "for care of prisoners for the
years 10000 -03, the years of the ad-
ministration OF Mayor Martin" For
several years past the county and city
administrations have been at swords
points and many little alterations have
been had.
The bill presented by the board al
the meeting Monday night was decla-
ration OF war and a hard fight is proml
.ised from now on.
The council decided that in the fu-
sure it would refuse to pay the county
road. school and bridge tax. which, be-
Ing city of the second class, 1t does
not have to pay. The amount cut from
the county by this refusal will be about
$4,000 annually. Both sides are
warmed up to the fight, which the
county bill started, and personalities
have already been mentioned.
The presentation of the bill was the
last official act of the retiring board
Never before has a bill been presented
for the care of prisoners. and this, COW
ering only the three years of Martins
and the present councils administra-
tdon, is taken as a direct attack on the
present administration. II the fight is
continued 1t looks as tho the city would
Ea!n thereby.

ANOTHER PARDON SEEKER.
Breckenridge, Who Was Sentenced for
Embexzlernsnt, After His Freedom.


Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Dec. S0.-A friend of A. l.
breckenridge, who resides tn Stone
City, has written to number of the
former friends of Mr.. Breckenridge in
Waterloo with reference to pardon.
Breckenridge was sentenced to the
Anamosa peni:entiary for embezzle-
ment from the Perpetual Building and
Loan Association OF this city, and his
time of service in the penitentiary will
expire ON the 10Th of January, 1904.
The plan of the gentleman is to secure
the governors pardon for Mr.. Brecken-
ridge at least one day before the ex-
pira.ion of his sentence in order that
he may be restored to full citizenship
and retain all his rights as citizen of
the state and county.
The matter was first taken up sew
eral weeks ago and several parties who
were former friends of Mr.. Brecken-
ridge have been working on 1t since.
One of the gentlemen who Is in receipt
of a letter from Stone City said yester-
day that 1t was very doubtful II any
thing would be done to secure a par
don. The latter stated that the pardon
il granted only one day before the sx-
plration of the time would place Mr..
breckenridge In better light here at
his home and With his former business
associates.
