Fire Wardens.

An adjourned meeting of the Board OF
Fire Wardens wa' held last night. The
meeting was held for the purpose of ex-
aiming charge agains.one Of the paid
members of the department, who, it was
alleged, On last Saturday night left bis
engine house without permission and
later attracted some attention en- King
street by fast driving. The power Of
the Board of Fire Wardens TO dismiss or
suspend for cause has been questioned
since the adoption of the present State
constitution, and it had been suggested
that under the present order of things
the Mayor was empowered to deal with
city employees when they violate rules
and are guilty of ohenses calling for d s.
missal or suspension. Mayor Pafi was
therefore invited TO attend the meet ng.
His honor who, it seems, witnesse | the
violation of rules on the part OF the ac-
cused, delivered a reprinand and warned
the employee against rel etition OF the
ofense. 1t is understood that Mayor
Pafi will send a communication to the
City Council recommending an amend
ment to the city charter Vesting the
Fire Wqrdens with lower to dismiss or
suspend paid employees in future when
they commit Ofienses.

Attemnt to Burn Factory.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
about $3.50 O'Clock last night to burn the
Ok Fibre Brush Works, formerly the
Palmetto Fibre Works, the largest man
ufacturing establishment in Frederick,
Nd. The fire was started in the ex-
IRENE end OF what is known as the block
department, the employees OF which
struck last week, demanding the dis
charge of the foreman, and were them
selves turned of. The firebug broke a
window aud set fire to a pile of lumber
against the wall Inside. Afterwards q
ball of waste, saturated With oil, was
found near where the fire was started.
The factory is equipped with an auto
matte sprinkler system, hose attached to
a water tank and chemical eytinsuisbers.
The automatic sprinklers had already
started when the fire was discovered by
the night Waterman. With the aid of
men who we're working in another wing
of the factory, the fire was extinguished
By the nse Of the chemical extinguishers
and waterhose before the fire companies
succeeded in laying lines OF hose to the
factory, WHICH is near the city limits.
The large buildings are equipped with
expensive machinery, and the loss TO
the company would have been great, as
the destruction of the factory would have
thrown several hundred men out OF
u,ork
