Since the installation of the rev fire

have been confronted with problem
that promises to he a difficult one 10
solve, but which thew hope to sur

there is city ordinance against tieinR
horses on Qneen street, the law has
not been enforced by the mayor. ow.
ing chiefly to the fact that there is no
place provided by the city for ti'ching
horses.
The introduction of a paid fire de-
partment, however, necessitates a
change in this arrangement in order
to prevent serious accidents. Queen
street is the main tboroughfars OF the
town, and is necessary to use this
street iny responding to about 90 per
cent of the fire alarms. There is al.
wavs more or less traffic and travel on
this thorouRhfare, and on Saturday
it becomes.practically congested with
vehicles, making passage for an ordi.
nary buggy difficult, and sometimes a
matter.-r o.. danger. Under present con

down Queen street without waiting
for the owners of the vehicles to make

accidents and serious loss Of property.
While the authorities are reluctant
to force the vehicles off Queen street,
it now seems impossible to avoid this

that those who hitch their horses alme

that the residents Of the county take

Unprecedented Rise In Temperature

May suffer Greatly.

May Suffer Greatly.
The emarkably warm wave which
has prevailed for the last two days is
to be followed by cold wave that will
send the mercury way down near the
bottom of the tube. The cold wave is
now on its way from the Northwest,
and is due here this evening.
The cold weather will be felt the
more because of the unseasona ably
warm..'' spell that has prevailed since
Sunday morning. On Sunday the
mercury went to 81 degrees above,
with minimum temperature of
degrees; on Monday it was even
warmer, the thermometer registering
maximum..oi 81 with minimum of
I57. Today at / o'cock it was II above
zero. This is the warmess weather
that has prevailed az this time of year
in this section for many years.
The unusual weather has caused
fruit.growers in Berkeley county
alarm over the prospect OF a good crop
next season. Already vegetation and
fruit is putting forth to such an extent
that severe weather, which is certain
to follow, will BE- the means of doing
seriOus damage. The warm weather
has caused flower bulbs TO come up
and new leaves are shooting forth on
outdoor rose bushes. TwIgs on apple
trees are swelling at the end, the
same as in the spring of the year be-
fore the blossoms,put forth. In some
sections it is thought that severe freez-
ing weather will be the means of cut
ting short the fruit crop unless the adj
vance - checked by more seasonable
weather.
