SLIGHT Blaze
CAUSED SOME EXERCISE FOR
THE FIRE ladies AND SAW
SOME FINE SPEED BY THE
HORSES.

Last nights run to the First ward
saw some of the prettiest running:
yet accomplished by the Fire Depart
ment. On account of the new horse
and poor brake on the hose wagon it
was deemed advisable to route that
vehicle via Parks avenue, while As
sistant Chief Doolittle, driving the
hook and ladder, went down Wash
ington and Bridge streets.
The work of tearing up the bridge
floor has been. in progress for some
nights now, but luckily only the tol,
layer was off for twenty feet or SO
and no delay was necessary there
Leaving the bridge. the hook and lad
der made beautiful run out Water
street but owing to the excessive
weight of that wagon, the hose out
fit passed them on State street. No
one thought of poor old Tom who has
suffered degradation enough in the
past week by being compelled to per-
form mental labor just like some cart
horse, and besides las been put over
in the incompleted First ward sta
ton all by his lonesome. When some
of the boys entered the building after
the fire had been extinguished, they
stared aghast at the sight ofsthe in
terror. for Tom in his excitement had
kicked all the bedding promiscuously
over the building and the force OF his
blows and upset all the furniture and
fixtures that wasn't anchored. Dan,
the new horse. performed beautifully
according TO Driver BogGess, except
that he was a little suspicious when
the gong was working. Bob. the old
horse, was thoroughly disguised with
his new mate at times. but the CHIEF
says that unless all signs fail, Dan will
make an excellent fire horse, because
he is long of limb. powerful, and has
the Indispensable quality of gameness.
that makes Bob the king of the de-
partment.

BABY SHOW
WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT sATUR-
DAY AFTERNOON AND PROM
Uses TO BE FINE AFFAIR.

The baby show, as advertised for
several days past, will be held in the
room adjoining the Bon Ton store,
next Saturday afternoon from two
until four o'clock.
A very great deal of the work of
the Kings Daughters goes to relieve
the distressing condition of the many
unfortunate little ones in this vicin-
ity, and it would only be an act Of
fairness tempered with mercy, should
the mothers of Fairmont loan their.
own more fortunate babies for brief
with little sacrifice to self, allow their
children to materially help, for sweet
charity's sake, the cause for. which
this organization is working. What
matters it whether your baby wins
the prize or not? You know that it
is the dearest sweetest baby in the
world and YOU have shown your con-
fidence in such a belief, and you have
done far more-you have shown your
superiority over petty jeauousies and
have done kindly deed in consider
ing the needs of other poor little
waits to whom the protection and care
OF the Kings Daughters comes, as a
gift direct from Heaven.
Bring your babies to the place des-
ignated. and give practical illustra-
tion of your good will towards this
worthy organization.

Great Musical coming!
MAYOR Drew a Blank.

Police court was blank this
morning, although things looked sus-
picious about 10 P. NJ. A we'll known
First ward man who has been on a
drunk for several days desired the
police to pull a house in that ward
in which his wife had taken refuge.
Officer Minnear was appealed to, but
would do nothing without orders
from his chief, SO the man came over
in town on a hunt for Morgan.
This man is wicked when drunk,
SO it is improbable that the officers
would have complied with his request.
When sober this same fellow is very
popular and has legion friends around
town.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 19.-Dis-
patches from Kouropatkin state that
General Rebkekampoff and General

heavy fighting with many casualties.
The reconnaissance were made
toward the enemy's front and right

and the Russian losses were slight. The
Japanese he says are concentrating be-
tween Yen Tai and Ben Saipudai to
the south of Mukden. The Japanese
during the encounter evacuated a viii

The czar has decided to form sec

Lieutenant General Linesvitch prob
