FlREMEN SHAKEUP
North Willow Street House Hay If.
 feet Changes Elsewhere.

It is said that with the completion of the new fire house on North Willow street a shake-up which will affect all the houses in the city will occur in the fire department. It is the intention of Chief Snagg, so 1t is said, to make changes in the various houses so that firemen will be in the house nearest the section where they reside. At the present time this is not taken into consideration and firemen are assigned to houses irrespective of where they reside. Some of the men have long walks to their destination and this the chief will try to eliminate. Of course such an undertaking will have to take time. but 1t will be a move appreciated by the men who are stationed in houses far from their homes. Natural fy it will change those who have be- come rather familiar in some houses. but the new men will become quickly acquainted Perhaps the board of safety and the chief think kiat the men every so often should be changed for the good of the department. In some of the houses there Is said to be i'll feeling among the laddles, and per haps this Is another reason why the reported shake-up is about to take place. Just now the captains have not much to say about it, as they and their men are too busy preparing for the annual inspection, which takes place on the 17th of this month.

WOMAN FELL DEAD
Purchasing Supplies in Public Market
 When She Was Stricken.

Mrs Hannah Stickles of 170 South Main street, widow of the late Henry Stickles, an elderly woman, dropped dead this morning in the Public mar ket, almost across the way from her home. She had been about town aud evidently entered the market to pur- chase something for dinner. She had been in the place but few moments when she fell to the floor and died in few moments. Death was due to heart failure. Medical Examiner Crane gave permission for the removal of the body to Bergin's undertaking rooms. from where they were later taken to the family residence. Mrs Stickles has large family of grown up children. one of whom Is engaged in the livery business in Torrington. Owing to some misunderstanding 1t got noised around that the wOman's name was Mcdonald and that she be- longed on East Main street, and what was still more surprising. two of Mrs McDOnald's sons. Michael and John. viewed the body fin the morgue and were positive that 1t was the remains ul luClE luOAnGAs NANs A%AN very much grIeved and after weeping over the body they hurried home to inform the rest of the family, but when they reached there they found their mother very much alive and at tending to her household duties. It is needless to add that they were pleased to know that they had made great mistake. although neither could account for 1t. hut 1t was so anyway and in order that there might be no further rumor to that ehect Mrs Mcdonald called at the undertak- ing rooms and assured the parties that she was moi the woman whose body was on the bier. Other people who saw the dead woman believed that the body was that of Mrs Me Donald. hut later on all admitted that after all there was very little resem- blance between the two women.

NO PLACE FOR ICE MAN.
American in London Gave an Order One Day That Was Filled i the Next.

q have been over to London nine or ten times in my life, said an American traveller. "and there is one thing that strikes me just as curiously as it did on my first trip. That is the general total ignorance on the ice question. Here the poorest family thinks 1t cannot get along without 1t in the summer. but there the rich hardly know what it is in connee- ton with cooling and preserving. In a famous hotel asked waiter for glass of ice water.
 Beg pardon. sir he said, but what might you mean by that?
 "'Why. water with ice in it.
 "T will see. sir
 ''He was gone ten minutes and then re- turned with the head waiter
 Didn't you ever hear of ice wster?' I asked.
 "1 think I have. sir
 "'Then get me some
 None came and I finished my meal. At breakfast next morning about two gallons of ice water was placed on the table for me. together with a check amounting to about dollar and half In our money.
 What's all this?' asked the waiter.
 Your Ice water. sir
 But I ordered it last evening
 Certainly. sir; but lt was II o'clock before we could find any ice and then we had a man sit up all night and feed ice into the water to get it good and cold. I am sure t will be to your liking. sir quite sure

 In Brooklyn also the ballot boxes were not accepted by the board of elections. Here. however. the board permitted the police Co carry the boxes into its rooms in the Temple Bar building The police had to guard the ballots because the clerks of the elec- tion board were instructed by Election Commissioner Michael Dady not to rive any receipt for the boxes. By c o'clock this morning all the ballot h0xpS were in the offices under guard. and Mir Dady had gone to New York to confer with Commissioner Voorhis upon the situation

BRITISH
 SQUADRON In New York Har-
 Dor To-Day.
Six Armored Cruiser Be. longing to Prince Louis Fleet-Cuns Fired When Boats Passed Governors Island.

New York, Nov Sled by the flag ship Drake, with Rear Admiral Prince Louis of Battenberg on the after bridge, the British squadron of six armored cruisers arrived in North riv- CT early to-day and came ro anchor at intervals of about four hundred yards with the column headed upstream. This brought the flagship Drake and the Maine, Admiral Evans flagship, within several hundred yards of each other off 18th street The combined squadrons formed column that stretched from 42nd to 135th street. In spite of the early hour thousands of people lined Riverside park and drive to witness the arrival of the British squadron. Lined up to vel come the visitors were the 12 men of war of the North Atlantic fleet, the flower of the American navy. Rigged out in full dress, in honor of King Ed wards birthday, the spotlessly white ships never looked handsomer. From stem to stern in rainbow fashion was strung line of flags in all colors. Fly ing at the fore of each man of war was the stars and stripes and at the main the union jack. The British ships were also dressed, flying the British flag at the fore and the Amer. ican at the main.
 New York has seldom witnessed a grander display of fighting ships Be ginning at 42nd street the fesroon of flags seemed to wind over and under the eighteen men of war until it was lost to sight over the stern of the Maryland at anchor off 135th street. The British ships are anchored in reg ular order, the flagship Drake first, and the Berwick, Bedford, Cornwall, Essex and Cumberland below her in the order named. Above the Drake Is the Maine, Admiral Evans flagship, and up the stream in the order named, the battleshfps Missouri, Kentucky and Kearsarge, Alabama, flagship of Rear Admiral Davis, Illinois, Iowa and Massachusetts. and the armored cruisers West Virginia, flagship of Rear Admiral Brownson. and the Pennsylvania. Colorado and Maryland. There was stiff breeze blowing which set every bit of bunting flap. ping in spirited celebration of tue kings birthday.

New York, Nov 9.-Aided by an array of legal talent in which are law yers of great prominence not only as masters of their profession, but also as leaders in more fhan one move ment for good government in this city, William R. Hearst has begun his fight in the courts for the mayoralty which he believes he won on Tuesday, and his first step has created a situation apparently without precedent. Last night he obtained an order from Jus tice Gaynor of the supreme court di- recting the police to turn over all bal lot boxes to the board of elections at once. The police obeyed the order as far as they could, but when they pro ceeded, in the after-midnight hours, to the election boards office there was no one there to take custody of the boxes and the policemen had to remain in the street for hours guarding the re- positories of the peoples votes. Later John R. yoorhis, president of the board, declined to accept responsibility in the matter pending advice from the corporation counsel. Mir Voorhis is a democrat and when his decision was made known the Hearst men turned to Charles w. Page, a republican mem- Der of the board, but he also declined to act, and then the police were left in the strange position of trying to carry out the courSs orders, but un- able to do so. The street in the vicin- ity of the election board offices pre- scented a strange sight as hundreds of policemen stood on guard around the patrol wagons and other vehicles in which the boxes had been conveyed from the precinct station houses.
 MT Hearst's order was obtained from Justice Gaynor after the circulation of a story that a printing firm had been turning out largE unInb0fx of fac similes of the official ballot and that these were to be marked for McClel- Ian and placed in the ballot boxes in place of Hearst ballot to be removed. The moment this rumor reached the Hearst headquarters 1t was decided that the ballots ought not to remain longer in the station houses and the application to Justice Gaynor was made as quickly as the papers could be drawn up.
 Among the attorneys aiding Hearst is William NJ. Twins, the republican
