FIRE STATION SITE
CITY BUYS A LOT AT HIGHLAND
 PARK.
Deed to Strip of Land in south MOnt- Eomery Made t0 City for Puf-
 pose of Detecting
 Genetta Ditch.

Pursuant to action taken by the City Council. the City of Montgomery yesterday became owner Of two lots on Highland Avenue at Highland Park, as a site for the erection or fire station, and also became posses sor of strip of land twenty rect wide in the southern part of the city, through which the proposed defected course of the Genetta ditch is to run.
 Deeds were filed in the probate of- flee, conveying both pieces of prop erty to the city.
 The lots at Highland Park are To- cated near the corner oS Cedar street and Highland Avenue. Together they have a frontage of III feet. and are 13O feet deep. The Council took steps last June toward the purchase or the property, but the consideration. l,1Oo. was not paid over until yesterday. The lots were purchased from the Highland Park Improvement Company.
 Architects are now at work prepar- mig plans and specifications for the Highland Park fire station. and the matter is in the hands of the ire com mittee and the mayor. It Is expected l that it will be only short time be- fore plans are adopted, bids asked TOT and work commenced.
 Some time ago the City Council de-
  etta ditch in order to abate certain nuisances. The course of the ditch Is to be altered west of s. Court Street, and it is expected the work will begin immediately.
 The strip of land. twenty feet wide through which the ditch is to be run, was conveyed to the city yesterday by w. B. Jones and wife and John w. Ray and wife. The strip extends through lots and 12 of block of Hannon & Jones' plot. and lots 2l and IA of block of the same plat. According to the deed, the consider alton Is $5 and. also a condition that the city fill up the old ditch and raise the level of Hannon Street from Ford Street to S. Court Street. or as much thereof as may be necessary to be done in the judgment of the city en- gineer.
 The bond of s10.o0O of John J. Far ley as city clerk of Montgomery was also filed for record in the probate office The bond was made Aug. 14 1906. in the American Surety Company of New York.

The Mont gomery Infirmary on Per- ry street had a narrow escape from being burned to the ground at o'clock yesterday afternoon. the eight patients within the building at the time being carried from their rooms some of them through dense smoke to places of safety at nearby residences. Six of tho eight were back in their rooms before nightfall, the other two preferring to be taken to St. Mar garets Hospital.
 The fire started in the third story of the frame structure that does duty for . city hospital, and had obtained some headway by the time the fire department reached the scene, al though the alarm was turned in nronnptly and the department. realis- ing the seriousness of the situation, made a record run to the scene of the blaze.
 The building is heated with stoves. and the pipe from one of these. which runs from the ground floor to ehim- ney on the third floor. had become disiointed. A spark escaped from this break in the pipe. and found lodg- ment in the excelsior of an old mat tress that was thrown in the unused room on the third floor where the pipe had broken.

the jails and prisons of other coun- ties to this county for trial, to the amount of s5360, have been paid from the county treasury. Prior tc the session of the General Assembly of 1S9S-9s. all such expenses had been paid out of the State Treasury. under a provision contained in Sec tion 4565. of the Code of lS96, which provision is in the following words. For removing any prisoner who Is arrested and confined in jail in county other than that in whi ,h he is triable, three dollars per day for himself or deputy acting in his stead. etc. to be paid by the Sta 'e upon his sworn account therefor. etc This includes prisoners arrested for all classes of offenses, whether mis- demeanors or felonies.
 The provision was amended by act of the General Assembly of the State. at its session of 1sss-s. Acts Of 189S-9, page 57. The amended law required the State to pay the ex- penses of removing prisoners charged with felonies. and the ceveral coun- ties to pay the expenses of removing such as were charged with mfsde- meanors. That part of the amended act of February 15. 1899. requiring of criminals charged with misdemean- ors is in conflict with the constitu- tion of the State. My conclusion Is based on the following grounds: Sec tion 4339. of the Code of 1867, pro- viding for fees for the several sher- | ifs of this State. contains this pro-
 vision. For removing prisoner under
 order of circut or city judge. upou
 removal of trial. or when arrested and
 confined in jail, in county oth"-
 than that in which he is triable. the same compensation for himself and guards; not exceeding two for each prisoner. as by law. allowed for the | removal of convicts to the peniten- tiary; to be paid by the defendant on ! conviction; and by the State if he Is acquitted or insolvent. The same sec ton provides for compensation in mileage, to the sheriff and his guards. The purpose of the quotation. how ever, is to call attention to .he fact that the State was required to pay such expense in case of acquittal or insolvency, whether the offense chars ed was a misdemeanor or felony
 This provision of law was in force when the State consultation Of 1873 was put in operation which consti- tuition was in force when the amend ed law of February l5' 1899 .s. nUa was stitution of 1875 Is as follows: The General Assembly shall not hay" the mower to require the counties, or other municipal corporations to pay | any charges which are now payaD!e out of the State Treasury.
 ..The payment of these expenses from the county treasury, It seems to
 me. is clearly unconstitutional, and
 if the matter was brought before the
 nroper tribunals I think they would
 so declare.

 Mrs. M. C. Scott, President of the Board of Managers, which has charge of the business affairs of the infirm- ary, also expressed her belief that it was very fortunate that the fire oc- cured in the day, rather than at night.
 Had it been at night" she said. "it would have been great deal more difficult to have gotten the patients out, and to have stopped the fire. As it Is, while the fire itself did but little damage, nearly all the rooms are soaked with water.
 The hole in the roof Is over the hails, and not over any of the rooms. which makes 1t much better for the patients who remain in the hospital.

If the inflrmary had been burned. I think something would have been done along this line. but as 1t Is. I suppose the movement will 50 along as 1t has in the past"
 Assistant Fire Chief Griffith said that not only was the one flue ct the in- firmary in a dangerous condition, but that others in the building were also in bad shape.
 Owing to the danger that existed to the patients, the entire apparatus from the central fire station. and that also from the Scott street staion and from the station at Five Points, were hur- ried to the scene. It was due to the good work of the fire department that the building was no. destroyed by the flames.

 Two patients, Mrs. Graves. with her babe, and Mrs. Young expressed a de- sire not to be returned to the infirm- ary, and were taken to St. Margar- cts during the afternoon.

A New Era Is DaWning for Hard
Worked "Rube"
FARM DRUDGERY SOON TO Be OVER
THE WONDERFUL THING WHICH
CAN BE DONE BY THE NEW
BONE.

On the throughly up-to-date farm
the electric motor does most of the
heavy work.
The advance in farming methods is
shown in numerous instances in the
vicinity of Chicago. Along the line Of
the Aurora, Elgin and Chicago Electric
railway many farmers have taken ad-
vantage of the opportunity to purchase
power. No longer do they f1irt with
the laborious bucksaw at dawn, nor do
they grind away by main strength at
the feed mill. The coming of electric
ity has worked marvels in their meth
DDS
1t is true, however, that farming by
electricity is in its infancy, yet the
success of such enterprise, where it
has been undertaken, has been so great
that the sale of electrical power by
interurban railroads promises to de-
velop into one Of the most important
branches of the business.
In the vicinity of Elgin, Aurora
Batavia and other points along the
Aurora line the use of electricity by
the farmers is common. In other
parts Of. the United States, as well,
the electrical method is finding favor.
Farming loses much of it's slavery
when electricity is applied to it. Little
Johnny Farmer, when his mother tells
him to put in the time before break
fast saving wood, goes gleefully forth
to the woodshed, pulls a lever, saws
half a cord, and then splits the chunks
with a rapid-fire device that puts to
shame the old fashioned method OF
our grandfathers.
When it comes to shredding and
crushing corn the electrical farmer
can accomplish as much in day as

he could in month by hand. The
| time saving value of the motor is al
most beyond estimation.
The district around Elgin has many
large dairy farms, and to those the
use of electrical power furnished by the
railroad has come to be necessity.
Enormous quantities of feed are
ground by electricity. Within five or
six miles Of Elgin about Is big farms
have installed motors, most of them
being of Is horse power. Usually the
motor is placed in a detached building
so that the fire risk will not be in
creased. The average cost of installing
one of these motors is placed at $500,
including the expense of running the
wires from the railroad track, erecting
the building and making all necessary
connections. The belt is run in an in
closed chute from the power house to
the barn.
In one instance where the farmer
used his motor to grind feed for so
cows and for saving wood, the cost Of
the power averaged 81 a month
The motors require little care. The
power is taken directly from the third
rail of trolley wires, and carried on
poles to the farmers power house. A
meter is installed, and the measure
service used. The railroad company
does not do the work of installing the
motor, but simply furnishes the power
at about cents per kilowatt Elec-
trical contractors put in the motors,
and the field in this direction promises
to enlist the services of many engin-
GERS.
1t is easy to imagine how the use OF
electricity on farms may develop in
the years to come. The loading and
unloading of hay and grain, the pump
ing of water. the thrashing, and many
other phases of farm work may be
done with the aid of a motor.
Some farmers use gasoline motors,
but the superiority of electricity over
gasoline is said to be so great that
there is scarcely any comparison. Gas
oline motors often get out Of order.
They require time in starting and have
to be closely watched
The electrical motor simply requires
to be oiled and to have the brushes
renewed a couple of times year. 1t
is always ready for instant use, all day
and most of the night. In case of fire
it can be used as a fire engine.
Power can be transmitted readily
for a considerable distance on either
side of the railroads right of way, al
though the farther or the farmer is the
more his electricity will lost him.
