We are glad to see DIR. Mullen Of
Portsmouth, n. H., again in town, but
sorry to know he was summoned here
on account of the critical condition OF
John Brown. Some weeks ago the latter
underwent two serious operations at his
home, which were skillfully and success
fully performed, and he was doing
nicely until other complications set in.
That he may recover is the wish of his
many friends.
An appalling railway accident occurred
at Richmond, Que, Wednesday morning
when an excursion train from Montreal
and the local mail train from Island
Pond mel in a head on collision. A
number were killed, how many it is i'm
possible to say as details are difficult to
obtain just now. Among the killed is
Fred H. Hackett, general travelling
agent of the Canadian Express Co., who
married Miss Ethel Sadlier of Island
Pond. 1t is said the accident was
caused by the conductor on the special
train from Montreal mistaking his
orders and leaving Richmond before the
arrival of the mail train.

Letter to Fogg & Hobson,
ToInnJ DnnJ II

Dear Sirs: Would you rather have
your customers speak of your shoes as
wearing we'll, as not running down at
the heel, as turning water, and taking a
shine or wag their heads and say
nothing?
We'd rather have ours, at long inter-
walls, say: ave want some more paint,
and we want Devoe." We know it isn't
in human nature to paint very often
we don't expect them to come very often;
don't want 'em to. All we want is to
paint what they have to paint, whenever
they paint it; the longer the time, the
surer they are to comeback. There's
business enough in the world; there
are houses enough to paint; let 'em
take their time.
If we were shoemaker, we'd make
shoes to last half lifetime, and shoe
the whole town.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEVOE & co.

CHUTES NIGHT WATCHMAN
is INJURED BY PET DEER
GiIIin Sues for S5O,OOO Damages Be
cause His Arm Was Broken in
the Zoo.

The "cotton-tail' deer at the Chutes
has changed it's habits and tempera-
ment since November % of last year,
according to the declarations of Jo-
seph F. Gillin, who on the date men
toned was night Waterman at the re-
sort. The deer Jumped from it's pen
and assaulted him v:c!Ously, according
to complaint which Gillin filed yes
terday in the Superior Court
In its sport the cotton-tail found
satisfaction in breaking the watch
mans arm and bruising his hand and
wrist, the injuries incapacitating him
from the performance of manual Ia
Dor.
Gillin says that the railing which
confined the deer was only three feet
nine inches high, whereas to keep it
from doing battle in the zoo the fence
should have been five feet six inches in
the clear. He contends that the
Chutes Company is responsible for the
low railing and therefore should pay
him for the damage he suffered in
conflict with the pet.

.CURTAILS FIRE
BOARDS POWER
Proposed Charter Amend
ment Deprives It of the
Right to Let Contracts
COST OF HORSESHOEING
Expert Says City Can Do
the Work More Cheaply
Than Can a Private Firm

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
adopted a resolution providing for the
submission to the electors of a pro-
posed amendment to the charter de-
signed to take away from the Fire
Commission the power to award con-
tracts for supplies and placing that
power in the hands of the Supervisors.
The amendment would repeal section
A, chapter 2, article TX. The report
of the Charter Amendment Committee
says:
'Inasmuch as the Board of Super
Vlsors now makes contracts for the
Police, Health, Public Works and
Electricity departments, there appears
no substantial reason why the Super
visors should not have like powers in
respect to the Fire Department. We
are convinced that the change would
result in economy to the city and
county"
Expert Cyril Williams filed with the
Supervisors Finance Committee his
report on the cost Of horseshoeing in
the Fire Department After present
ing mass of figures, he says that the
city itself can do the work for less
than the contract just let to Edward
Graney at 81 80 per horse. During the
fiscal year ending June 80 Williams as
certainS the cost Of horSeShoeing was
$5SSS At, and he figures that the cost
at the contract rate would have been
$1,000 so. From 1893 to 1900, at the con-
tract rate of 81 80, the expert finds the
cost to be for each horse SIS 0S per an
mum. For the year 10000 the contract
rate was reduced to 81, and the cost
per annum was $19 81. For 10000,
when the city shod the horses, the cost
was $40 43.
The Finance Committee receded from
its determination to subpoena the Fire
Commissioners to explain their action
in awarding the horseshoeing contract
at an alleged higher rate and also to
explain the increased cost of the Fire
Department stables. No SubpenaeS
were issued and none of the Commits
sioners were present.
Another proposed amendment to the
charter providing that the Tax Col
lector shall not have the right to ap-
point an attorney to conduct the liti-
cation of his office, which shall become
part of the duties of the City Attorney,
was referred to the City Attorney for
an official opinion.
j. p. Martin, manager OF the Sharon
estate, informed the Finance Commit
tee that in two weeks he would have
installed on all the estates sidewalk
elevators d safety device which his en-
gineer is perfecting. Martin filed a
petition to amend the ordinance with
regard to the locking of the elevator
doors from the sidewalk. This was re-
ferred to the Fire Committee.
