AS eX-Chinf II. L. Morse of the fire

about go o'clock yesterday afternoon
he saw smoke pouring out of the rear
windows on'thc upper floor of the fur

A number of persons were heard to
remark, yesterday afternoon, the need
OF fire alarm box at the corner of
Bridge and Water streets. Box 80 is
located on Water street near the rail-
road bridge and box IS is near the
Granite bank building. There is Il
wide stretch of territory between these
two boxes, and when the immense
value of the intervening property lis
considered. to many minds the need is
imperative. This was forcibly brought
to mind by the fire of yesterday. The
box most accessible to the citizen who
was probably the first to see the fire
from the outside was box Is on the
front of City hall, but it would have
been entirely out of the question to
have rung in the alarm from that box
as it would have brought both of the
West Side companies across the bridge
past the actual location of the fire
To have rung box 81 would have
brought about almost equal confusion,
unless the person ringing the alarm
had time to run to Bridge street and
head off the teams from turning the
wrong way when they reached Water
street

carrying his sack in which was done
up his personal belongings. The crowd
formed a picturesque group as they
loungcd about the station, for the most
part keeping to the smoking room.
The long wait was enlivcned by
music. One of the men played an ac-

of song was sung by the crowd. They

One of the most interesting and in
Structivc exhibition ever seen in the
city was witnessed by large crowd
at the Driving park when Annie oak
ley of Nutley, n. j.. gave a free dem
onstration Of rifle and shotgun shoot
ing. The lady is without doubt the
greatest woman shot in the world and
it is doubtful If there are many men
that could equal her feats. The exhibit
consisted Of shooting at objects thrown
into the air. such as potatoes. glass
balls eggs, Jumps of coal. etc. AS this
did rot seem hard enough small metal
disks about the size Of a quarter were
thrown UP only to be picked by a bull
let from the never erring rifle. AS a
final in the rifle exhibit she shot two
holes through a piece of iron an inch
square with a soft-nOsed bullet from
= remington automatic. With the shot
gun Miss Oakley was just as much of
an expert as with the rife, breaking
CLAW pigeons as fast as they could be
thrown from the traps. One of her
feats was the breaking Of four tar
gets thrown in the air al once. In or
der to do this the person must chang"
guns and the east with which this was
done brought forth much merlted
round Of applause. But the best OF all
was the closing feature when Miss OAK
ley broke five targets hurled high IN
the air with an Automatic. Annie oak
ley Travelled for several years in con-
nection with Buffalo Bits Wild West
and while abroad displayed her skill
before Inany of the crowned heads Of
Europe. She has in her possession q
medal presented her by the King Of
England with this inscription: You
are the greatest shot I have ever
seem" and without doubt those who
saw her work yesterday will say the
same thing.
