The Oldest Fire Company.

The Rescue Hose Company is the
Oldest fire company in the city and is
certainly worthy Of the most liberal
patronage in its effort TO secure equip
ments by giving lawn fete on next
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
nights. The fete will be held on the
lawn in front of the ola line depot,
West street, and everything will be
made attractive and inviting. The
fire company proposes to use the pro-
ceeds OF the lawn fete in purchasing
needed rubber coats and if possible a
horse to draw the hose carriage. II
is hoped the Rescue Hose Company,
under whose auspices the lawn fste is
given, will be literally patronized.

THE OLD SANDS HOUSE.

A great thing has recently been ac-
complished in the moving line in this
city. A mouse that was built before
1912 and that therefore antedates the
Revolution has been raised foot and
a half. 1t is the old Sands house on
Prince George street
The work of raising the house was
done by Mr.. w. Brewer Gardiner, the
contractor and builder. The time
consumed in raising the old dwelling
occupied a week. The house, when
completed, will be occupied by Mrs.
Martin Revell, who purchased it from
the Sands estate, Mrs. Reyell having
been q Miss Sands. Since the inn
provements to the street grading on
Prince George street the old Sands
house has been made level with the
street, and in some parts a foot below.
1t was found necessary TO raise it on
this account.
The corner stone to the house bears
the date 1909, but this was when All adj
dition was built, the original house
having been constructed before that
time. It was the first frame house in
Annapolis and was constructed out Of
logs hewn from the surrounding forest
1t was built by James Sands who came
over from England in the early part
of the seventeenth century, butwhose
family not being satisfied with this
country, returned to Engalnd, and the
house was transferred to his brother.
1t has been in the Sands family ever
since. The records show the house
was built in 1912. The plaster used
was made of burnt oyster shells. Gen
eral Washington and General Lafayette
have both been entertained in this
house, besides other distinguished
men who helped to make history.
The last resident was Miss Sarah
Sands, who died about two years ago
in the 9th year of her age.

Tar Pot Did Not Cause Fire.

Five of the laborers at the Naval
Academy employed by the Noel Con-
struction Company, contractors for
the midshipmen's new quarters, were
laid off pending an investigation of
the cause of the fire in the building at
the Academy Thursday night. The
men were supposed to have been dere-
lict in their duty and an investigation
was ordered. The result is that the
men have been reinstated and freed
from all blame. A careful investiga-
rion has been made by the Noel Con-
strnction Company as to the cause of
the fire, and Mr.. George e. merrill,
superintendent of the company. says
the fire did not originate from a tar
pot boiling over, but from some un-
known cause.

The play is remarkable in many

about 4 o'clock the next morning. We
carry no scenery but window and

PROSECUTE THE MAYOR
Ministers Of the Gospel will Act.--If KimbaII Re-
fuses Will Ask Judge Richardson to Name
Special Prosecutor.

The preachers Of the city propose to
prosecute Mayor Boyd and will demand
that the prosecuting attorney, Mr..
kimball, proceed against the eity's
chief executive, and if the county
officer refuses to do this il is the inten-
ton of the preachers committee to
ask Judge Richardson to name spec
ial prosecutor. A meeting of the COM
mittee was held two nights ago and a
plan of action determined upon. 1t
was decided to take these steps and
also to give nothing out to the public.
Each of the FIVE members was made to
promise on his honor to give out moth
ing to the papers, but it has leaked out
and the plan determined upon will be
carried unless new developments give
cause for change.
Three members of the committee
went to the courthouse yesterday to
interview the prosecuting attorney,
but he could not be found because of
the holiday 1t is said the committee
viii make another effort to find him

Double Chance at Mayor.
The preachers think the law is being
violated by the women who now
occupy upstairs quarters, and they
demandthat the mayor and not they
enforce the law Thefact that the
mayor claims TO be at the head Of the
police department will be used
against HIM in an argument that he
therefore is doubly responsible. He
will be prosecuted, therefore, under the
state statutes for not doing his duty
in keeping out the women.
Some Of the statutory provisions
relative TO such cases are:
Section 6775, Statutes Of Washington
When any duty is or shall he en-

DIsCHEDIT REPORT.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-Ssnsational re-
ports received here from st. Peters,
burg telling OF the sinking Of jap
anese wership at Port Arthur are
discredited on all sides. The reports
all come from a Russian source, and
1t Is claimed are based on . private
message sent by a resident Of Port
Arthur.
The st. Petersburg dispatches state
that all newspapers in that and other
Russian cities have issued extras
containing the report of the sinking
vessels. The wide publicity given in
the sensational dispatch in Russia
only tends to convince diplomats here
that the report has been sent out in
the hopes Of bolstering up patriotic
enthusiasm among the czar's sub
jects.
