Mrs Reed, in company with her
cousin, a Mr. Briggs of that city, at
tended the play and had seats well
down in front and they were among
the first to see the fire. Rising to
their feet they were preparing to get
out as quickly as possible. when some
one appeared on the stage and told
the audience TO keep their seats as
there was no danger, and they did so,
the fire in the meantime gaining in
force and finally bursting in fury over
the massive audience, many of whom
at once became panic stricken and
started in the mad rush that resulted
50 fatally to many. Mrs. Reed and
her cousin at once started for a door
near them marked exit. and while
making their way to the same big
burst of fire and smoke came out
over them the fire burning the back
OF both of Mrs Reeds hands to such
an extent that both were blistered

found it locked and escape impossible

near by, Mr.. Briggs raised it and lift

feet into an alley and then climbed
out after her.

shock to her nerves Mrs. Reed escap-

GUY GERE
AFTER ALL.
Will Probably Succeed
Marston Campbell
as Engineer.

! Marston Campbell, Assistant Super
| intendent of Public Works, after hav-
| ing received the endorsement Of the
Republican Central Committee for re-
| appointment, has withdrawn his appli-
cation for the position, which under
| new conditions is that of consulting
engineer of the department.
On November 10 the Advertiser sta
ted, ION good authority" that it was
the intention of Governor Carter to
appoint Guy H. Gere as Superintend-
ent of Public Works, to succeed II.
E. Cooper, resigned. The statement
was made with words accompanying 1t
which favored the choice. At that
time it was well known that the Gov
ernor, with an eye to changed condi-
lions coming with county government.
intended to do away with the Office of
Assistant superintendent and have
the executive and engineering divisions
of Public Works under a single head
ship. Since then the Governor from
closer acquaintance with the work of
the department has concluded that the
ama1gamation Of heads is impracti-
cable. All the time, however, it was
meant that the next man under the
superintendent, to have charge of plans
and specifications, would be known as
the consulting engineer" When Mr..
Ceres selection was generally accepted
as a settled fact, Mr.. Campbells resig-
nation was rendered to the Governor.
Pending the appointment of a success
sor to him, Mr.. Campbell has contin-
ued in his old position owing to the
necessity of engineering oversight of
public works under way and projected
for early execution. -
Mr.. Gere, on the occasion in question,
met with strong rivals for the Super
intendent's office both in 1ualificat tons
and support Mr.. Holloway was ulti-
mately chosen as superintendent. The
Governor though, has evidently never
lost sight OF Mr.. Gere for promotion in
the department, Mr.. Gere being now
mentioned as the probable successor of
Mr.. Campbell along with the 1atter's !
withdrawal of application for reap /
pointment. Mr.. Gere has been in the
engineering division for some years,
the past year or more being resident |
engineer of the department on the ISL |
and of Hawaii. So much was doing
there that it was deemed wise by SUI |
perintendent Cooper to keep a super |
vising engineer on the island all the |
time.

And wondered why papa

A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them,

The water rushed out,
And it caused poor papa
And mama to shout.

"oh, John dear, I fear that

Unless you will promise
