BOARD OF SAFETY
Burton Street Engine Too Heavy for
 Steep Grades.

The first matter of business that came before the board of public safe ty's meeting yesterday afternoon was Police Surgeon O'Hara's report of his examination of the members of the police force. So far as public expecta- ton was concerned it was dismal failure, for it contained no sensations, no recommendations for the discharge of any of the men; nothing, in fact, but a bare statement of their physical con dition.
 Chief Snagg addressed the board at some length on the necessity of Burton street and Washington avenue engine houses exchanging steamers. That at the Burton street house is the heaviest in the city and is quite unsuitable for the steep grades in the northwest end of the town. It weighs over 10000 pounds, while that at the Washington avenue house weighs but 1000 pounds. The matter was left to the chief and the exchange will be made as soon as possible.
 The chief also spoke about private fire alarms that are connected with the city's system. Irving block on East Main street has system connected with the public alarm through the American District Telegraph office The other evening there was occasion for sending in an alarm from Irving block and the wrong number was sent in. The trouble was with the private system. Fortunately, however, it did not amount to very much, but it would never do to have a repetition of it, no matter how small the fire may be. Had there been high wind blowing like that of yesterday the chief thought the condition of affairs might be very serious. The machinery that was out of gear has since been rectified and was tested yesterday. ....5.
 One of the bills held up was for = cents, from T. +. Iunny, for the use of hack in taking Charles Bassett from the superior court to one of the depOts. The board saw no reason why the city should pay the states bills, and tabled it. This practically c0nsti- tuted the business of the meeting and adjournment was taken to Wednesday, two weeks hence, the day of the regu- lar meeting.
 Since the board was organized it has met every Wednesday afternoon, and why it did not adjourn to next We'd nesday brought the remark from one of the members that there must be q mistake somewhere, but Commission Der Marggraff looked at his watch and found it was all right and that there was nO mistake in adjourning for two weeks.
 The silence of the committee on free trolley travel for firemen in uniform was taken to mean failure so far.

QUINCY ADAMS SAW YER
Di,b,,ded After tie P.rfsrmanee .i PoIi's Las. Nisht.

It was a cold and windy night, and it must have been q great deal more so for the members of the Quincy Ad- ans Sawyer" company, who decided after the performance of last night to give LID the ghost and beat it to their homes in various parts of the country. Anyone witnessing the show at Polfs would have imagined that something was gong to happen, as there was not much enthusiasm shown by the actors, and the audience, which was about equal to the number in the company, must have been thinking of the wealth CT outside, for their hearts seemed to be anything but warm.
 The company was forced to quit De- cause of the action of the booking agent. Sol Blum of New York. He wished to do as he pleased with the company. and finally the manager, Frank Morgan, would endure 1t no longer and last night decided to dis band the company. He was determined that the trusts would not control him in the future, and although the con- pany was doing well on the road, 1t was voted to .'skid0O."
 The company has been organized since the 18th of last July and has been meeting with such success throughout New England.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

During Lent the services at S' Patrick's church will be on Wednesday and Friday evenings.
 The Bank street school clock still
 remains unilluminated. How long, oll Ca'tiline, must We endure the inacsiv- ity of the board of education?
 It is said that the persons that are building the two blocks at the cor
 ner of Bank and Porter streets will in
 the near future erect bloc. on School
 strest which will have tenements for forty families.
 John Danaher of IS Green street, a brakeman employed on the Consoli- dated road, met. with an accident ! Tuesday night in Bridgeport, falling off car and crushing his leg. He was removed to his home in this city yes tertay, but his injury is not serious. j, -The residents in the upper part of Brooklyn would like to see box for packages placed at the corner of Bank
 and North Leonard streets. There is letter box at this point and it is wei! patronized and a package box would also be much appreciated as it woultl save the walk down to Riverside street
 A. J. Patton has submitted his re- port to the Improvement committee and the public will be anxious to see what the members will do about il. The grade is less than eight per cent
 all right, and the trolley company will undoubtedly be forced to live up to it's promise soon, as the members of tlla committee will certainly call the bluff of the Connecticut Railway X Light , ing Co. It would be well for tle ! Brooklyn people not to let their en- thusiasm decrease. but keep up the good work which has been started.
 There is not much doing in the building line in Brooklyn at the pres ent time. consequently rents are higk 1 and scarce. It seems that the in creased cost of material and the cry that labor costs so much more than formerly has dampened the plans of those who had intended putting up tenement houses in this section. There
 have been a few blocks erected recent. ly in Brooklyn. but the absence of res idential houses has been conspicuous. Because of the slump in the building line the landlords naturally get all they can for their flats and they can not be censured for so doing. Some times the tenants are liable to criticize
 the owners of buildings. but they are
 not at fault and get only a fair return for the money expended. Perhaps with the cry for Improvements and
 the possibility of trolley line. not to mention the union station. will come the boom in the building line which has so long been delayed. There Is much valuable land in this section which should be utilized and the oTn- CTS of it should get hustle on and do something to make their property pay. Medicine buying is different from the buying of other goods--yonr health depends upon what you purchase. Ton
 get what you ask for in It's best qnali' ty at our store. A. c. Walker. the druggist.

BOARD OF HEALTH
Two Contracts Will Be Let For
 Disposing of Garbage.

The board of health held a meeting last night and heard verbal report from Health Officer Kilmartin and Commissioner Fitzpatrick relative to the crematory. In their opinion it would cost between $500 and $9OO to repair the plant. The board is some- what undecided whether to maintain , two plants or one Of about double the capacity of the present one, but they have preference for the double plan, so that one could be used while the other was being repaired or out of commission for any cause. In any case it was deemed wise to award the contract for collecting the garbage to one person and have somebody else do the cremating. The committee was continued and authorized and directed lection of garbage from April 1. The matter of cremating will be taken up later
 Bills for the collection and disposal of garbage for January and February. , amounting to S2,SO0, were received from Contractor F. H. Carroll. The January bill, one-half the sum total, was ordered paid. but the the balance was withheld until the board mas OuC how the contractor stands with the city. It was voted to refer this mat ter to committee consisting of Mayor Thoms and City Attorney Kellogg. At the last meeting Mir Fitzpatrick said that nobody knew what condition ..G plant was in when the present contrac- tor took charge of it, but it appears this was q mistake, or at least some- thing to the contrary has since come to light.
 A communication from Cincinnati house quoting figures on garbage wagons was received and placed on file.
 The reports of the heads of the diff ferent departments were read and or dered on file. There were seyenty-six cases of measles in the west end last month, but none was of serious na- ture

ENGLISH WOOLEN MILLS co.
Opened It's Doors Yesterday Opening Days Win
 Continue During Coming Week.

After weeks of busy preparation the new store of the English Woolen Mills Co at 125 Bank street threw open it's doors yesterday morning. The crowds that surged through the handsome salesr0Oms were warm and cordial in theif >ex expressionsi of delight and enthui siasm. -.'
 Although the new store has been ono of the chief topics of conversation for over two weeks, and everyOne's eXpec- tations were very high, there was not a child, woman or man who was not surprised at the beauty of the fittings and furnishings, the handsome rest rooms and fitting rooms, and the splen- did mems woOlens and worsteds that they make to measure for $15, $17. 50, $20 and $22.50.
 The quaint notices suspended by massive chains from the beams were the cause of much comment. One says: Life without industry is guilt; life without art is brutality" And ev- erything in the store seems to speak this belief. There is art and industry in every touch of their handsome rooms. Another one that appeals to the heart is: If we were only big enough in soul to see no sights. ac, cept no insults. cherish no jealousy or harbor no hate" There are several others, full of goodness and homely ex- pressiOns. These notices are lettered on massive placques welded to great rough blanks of Flemish-one of the richest effects imaginable
 The biggest surprise of all was in the fabrics displayed. Most of the vis- itOrs admitted that they were skeptical of the quality of the goods on account of the prices they were offered at. but the moment they saw and felt of the woolens and worsteds they recognized their goodness. Many carried away samples to compare and test and some who have a knowledge of cloths were quick to see that this western enter prise has new standard of goodness to give tine people of Waterbury.
 Every garment will be made to the customers individual order and meas ure, cut. drafted and fitted to his form. No block patterns are used. but every step in the construction is treated sep arately and individually. All coats are tried on in skeleton before finishing.
 Their system of tailoring. fitting and finishing is unique and peculiar to them. They call it their ''man-to-a- part system. which means that the work is divided and specialized. each tailorman devoting all of his time and energy to the part to which he is best adapted. This method gives goodness and trueness in fit and finish that Is far beyond the possibilities of the or dinary tailor. and yet effects a vast saving in time and cost.
 Dozens upon dozens of beautiful flowers were given to the women. and fine orchestra fillesl the store with music day and evening.
 Those connected with the English woolen Mills. who have come on from the west for the opening. were ex- tremely pleased and the many warm compliments and congratulations. and 1t is easy to see that the new store will he a wonderful success from the start and that its methods. savings and store service will be fully appreciated by Waterbury.
 The opening days will continue into next week.

HOUSES FIRED BY MOB
State, Troops Guard the Streets of Spring-
 field, 0.

SPRINGFIELD, O., March 1.-The troops here have Gatling guns at all the principal points to awe the mob, which has sworn to cleanse Springfield of negroes.
 Twenty rioters have been jailed and six houses burned. Sarah Thornton jumped from window in South Sec tion street, breaking her leg. She lay an hour before she was found, while the mob burned the lower part of the house.
 The rioting consisted mainly of marching by mobs through the negro quarters and either setting fire to or stoning the homes of negroes,
 Acting Prosecuting Attorney Lay bourne has taken the dying statement of Davis, which will be used against the accused negroes when they come to trial
 The house of Rev. John Scurry, ne- gro preacher. was stoned, and the fam fly fled terror stricken from 1t. The mob then set fire to it, but the prompt arrival of the military prevented it's destruction.
 With eight companies of state troops on guard here in the colored residence district more incendiary fires were started again last night in 1.-The Flick ers' Nest" negro quarter. In every instance the houses were occupied by negroes or negroes and whites. A ne- gro house at Harrison and York streets was stoned by large crowd, but the occupants are believed to have es- capped.
 Colonel c. s. Ammel of the Fourth regiment has arrived and assumed command of the troops, relieving Cap tain Horace Keller, who had been in command.
 Advices from Dayton state that the jail where Dean and Ladd, the negroes who caused the riot, are now confined may be attacked. It is feared that some of the mob leaders of Springfield will go to Dayton and incite the rail- road men and their sympathizers to violence.
 The jail is a very formidable build- ing and could not easily be broken into.
 It is reported that the original plan of the mob is to take Dean from jail. drag him at the end of rope to the railroad yard where the shooting oc- cured and tie him to the rails. Then a switch engine was to be allowed to come down and crush out his life.
 Hardware dealers have been doing an immense business in the sale of re- yolvers and cartridges. It was esti- mated that three-fourths of the men on the streets are armed.
 The Xenia and Urbana companies of the Ohio national guard and the two local companies of the Third regiment are on duty. Dayton has It's soldiers in its armory and will answer when called.
 Over a hundred negroes have lied from the city to Columbus, Dayton, Xenia and Urbana.
 Conrad volIner. an aged man, died of heart failure during the riot owing to the excitement.
