BOARD OF SAFETY
Five Story Tower Win Be Bullt
 For FIremen's Practice.

It seems that after all the tlremen will have q tower on which to prac- tice and reduce their avoFdupois Such was the sentiment expressed at the meeting of the board of public safety yesterday afternoon. Mayor Thoms presiding. It was originally intended to build the tower six stories high. but the board is of the opinion that five will be high enough. It VII be built by Robert Mackie and me cost must not exceed S0S9.
 A member suggested that the paint ing of the tower be done by the fire men at their leisure time, but It was found that this would rnise a rllmpus with someone or something.
 The board of aldermen voted some weeks ago, that instead of the city paying $l5,OW for strip of land on Scovill street near the engine house, that another story be added to the structure which would give tho fire men and the equipment all the ac- commodation required.
 This propdsition did not seem to strike the board very favorably as the house has been declared out of date and unsanitary and the building which Mir Rice proposes to erect near 1t will shut out ths light on the east side. It was the hope of the board that the board of aldermen would look with favor on the idea of erecting T modern house in the center of the rl%r rrls. ,,.on,,, ,,, nusl n tfn1, nf thu nl- dermen was tabled. Patrolman T. E. McElligott, who passed the examina. ton for promotion from grade \ to R at the last meeting was advanced to grade E with increase of pay. William Mccarthy who was elected a callmall at the meeting held last week was ad- vanced to the regular force. McCar- thy goes into harness immediately, he having been on the paid force some years ago.

 LONDON, Jan. 31.-There is reason to believe that the resignation of Sir Alexander Swettenham as governor of Jamaica has been accepted, though the officials of the foreign office are mystifyingly silent and refuse all in- formation on the subject. This official reticence is attributed to desire to complete the arrangements for sue cessor to the post before announcing Swettenham's retirement.
