The Colored Fireman.

In an interview with Chief elect
Shade, he said that he had been
called upon by representatives OF
the old colored Hook and Ladder
Co, who stated that they would
like to re-organize their company
and re enter the voluntary fire ser
vice of this city They asked, II
in the event they did re-Organlze.
could they expect full protection
for their members from the Chief.
Mr. Shades reply was that they
would be welcomed backed iltC
the voluntary service and that be
would assure them absolute pro
lection in the discharge of their
duties.
1t will be remembered that sew
eral years ago we had two cOlOled
fire companies; that the members
were prompt and efficient tiremen
and chat they had won many lau
rels for valiant services. Later,
there were trOublOus times, and
strained relations between the
races. While these conditions
were at their height, the fire alarm
was sounded one night. The
colored tiremen did not turn out.
1t developed that the alarm had
been sounded by irresponsible par
ties for sinister purposes. Capt.
e. A. Pharr, who was then the
Chief, condemned the act in I'm,
measured terms.
Capt. Pharr then promptly ad-
vised the colored companies not to
respond to any fire alarm until
such time as matters SnOulu rail-
into normal conditions again.
Later the Fire Department became
dis-organized-there was no Chief
there were no coIored firemen.
Now, that the colOrei iIemen
have volunteered their services
again, every responsible citizen
and property holder of the town
should stand by Chief Shade and
see that his promises to the
colored fremen are made good to
the letter and spirit of his intent
There never was the least objec.
ton to the colored firemen by the
whites but on the contrary, the
latter regarded the former as a
valuable auxiliary.

Some So. Pa. K. R. Changes.

The re organization scheduled
for the first of the coming year
says the \ Q. States, means the
re establishment of independence
for the Louisiana lines Of the lar-
riman system and the eleVatlng OF
the passenger office here to a gen
eral headquarters with Mr. Bat
lures at its head. That gentle,
man as general passenger agent
will be in control of the passenger
affairs of the Louisiana lines and
the New Orleans Havana steam
ship and of the New YOrkNew Or
leans line. Mr.. Batturus Is out OF
the city to day, having gone to
Houston evidently for confer
ence with General Passenger
Agent ThOs Ander son. This
summary of the change, however,
is considered the correct method
to be employed in the re-organiza
ton of the passenger department.
The changes in the freight de-
partment will become effective on

llshed in these columns last Tues

THE HORROR GROWS.

Unlike most disasters Of the tremendous
sort this steamer horror at New York
grows ID It's terribleness The estimated
number Of killed and injured was put en-
tirely too low At the start, and only as
the work 81 the recovering Of the bodies
continues does The FUN magnitude OF the
disaster become apparent. The record
number Of lives lost Is particularly large
because very many children in arms were
on board the excursion boat being taken
BY their mothers to make d complete and
happy family circle on the days outing
These small children were swept away
from their mothers ia the rush for safety
and later as the latter were forced into the
water b. the onrush Of the flames became
separated from them and were drowned.
In the loss Of children's lives the disaster
is unparalleled IN the history Of this cour
Try, as It is also in the list Of steamboat
horrors. The fact that there we're 10 many
children on board the boat swells the
casualty list very largely, and the total
number Of lives lost may be nearly one
thousand, By the time the bodies have al
been recovered or accounted for. At the
present time there are hundreds unac-
counted for, while the number Of bodies
recovered exceeds half thousand.
