MARCH FIRE REPORT
ONLY FOURTEEN CALLS IN
 MONTH OF MARCH.
Loss on the Buildings Was $5o4. 15 All of Which Was Paid by Insurance Com
 panies.

The report of the Montgomery Fire De- pertinent for March shows a rather slow month for the firemen. Only fourteen alarms were received during the month. Five of them were from the automatic street fire alarm boxes, and nine were telephone alarms.
 The character of the buildings involv- ed was: Two three-story bricks, l two- story brick. two-story frames, 6 one- story frames. one box car and one tree. The value of buildings at risk was Se0, 100. and their contents were valued at $9050. The loss on the buildings was $504.15 0 very small loss on fourteen fires. The insurance on the buildings. was $50 950, and of this amount $50415 was paid in. covering loss of $50415. The loss on the contents of the buildings was $18t. 20, of which $r9.20 was paid to the policy holders out of insurance aggregating sc,900. The loss over the insurance paid was $500. Although none of the fires amounted to a confagration, 1t is getting on the spot quickly which lots of times prevents a large fire, and the Montgom- cry department is proud of its record in getting to the scene of a fire in a hurry.

 "The delegation from Montgomery was much struck with the very great interest being taken in the location of this insti- tuition by the business men of AnnfstoD, Ressemer and Selma. Each city had at the meeting quite a delegation of promi- nent men to offer their bids and to ar que their advantages before, the Board: All the members of the Board expressed their qualification at the strong rivalry developed among these four cities and at the general attractiveness of all of the bids. They were of the belief that 1t au- gured well for the future of the institn- ton.
 "The Montgomery delegation recognizes the fact that the fight for the location of this institution is to come at the meeting of the Synod in Tuscaloosa Oh the 18th inst, and the Montgomery Committee will at once take steps to see that Montgom- ery's advantages are presented in the best possible shape at that time.
 Additional Subscriptions.
 Since the bid of Montgomery has been formally presented to the Board of Trus- tees of the Synodical College, additional subscriptions from citizens of Montgom- cry is given out by the Committee.
