Box Car in Rock Island Yards De.
stroyed Yesterday.
(FTom Fridays Daily Panhandle)
late yesterday afternoon the de-
partment got long run to the Rock
Island yards north of the Denver de-
pot to a fire in box car beside the
track which had been fitted up as
a, temporary office for the assistant
superintendent Before the blaze
could be extinguished the building
and much of the contents we're de-
stroyed. The companies strung hose
lines and easily kept the fire from
spreading,
Two thoughtless drivers drove
their vehicles across the hose lines
while the boys were getting ready to
return from the fire. Marshal John
Snider promptly informed the guilty
parties to appear in city court for the
offense and this morning both parties
plead guilty and paid their fines.
\. The department is determined to
stop the practice of ignoring hose
lines and will fine every vlolator Of
the ordinance. Several times lately
sections of hose have given way at
critical moments from damage in
fiicted by wagons passing over them
and the companies are prepared to
take every precaution for protecting
the hose hereafter.

a sentence OF two years in jail for

MUCH IMPROVEMENT IS NEEDED
Captain Van Ripper viii EndedyOr to
Recruit Ranks and Further
Build Up Company Before
Next inspection.
MUCH IMPROVEMENT is NEEDED

Company L. Fourth Reglm ent, better
known as the Americas Light Infantry,
must recruit up or show cause why it
should not be disbanded.
On the inspection by Inspector Gen
eral Obear the company turned out 80
men. Since then it has lost one man.
1t will be necessary to get two addition al
members to bring it up 10 the minimum
under the old State regulation.
Col. Obear found a number of things
to criticise in his inspection of the COM
pany, as was but natural considering
that many of its members had only
been connected with the military from
one to three months, and could hardly
be drilled into perfect soldiers in that
time. Col. Obear recognized this, and
while pointing out the defects of the
company, said at the close of his report
to the Governor.
''This company had a reorganization
since last inspection, and shows con-
siderable improvement, but much is
yet to be accomplished. Officers and
men appear to be interested and it is
thought that with proper instruction
and oftener drills the necessary i'm
provements can be had
Under the last order issued the COM
pany cannot take on new recruits until
after it has done duty at Fort Screven.
The company goes there July lis, and
after that will be in position to recruit
up its ranks, There is no doubt that
new members can be secured.
The Inspector General found reason
on his inspection, as shown in his re-
port, to critic1se the condition of the
equipment, some of guns not being in
proper condition, the equipment GEN
orally of the men not being well adj
justed, and more thorough instruction
needed in drill and guard duty. The
officers equipment, he also pointed
out, is lacking. Inasmuch as the
officers will have to buy the desired
equipment themselves, the State not
providing it for them, this is not sur
prising.
All in all, though, the company
seems to have done pretty well on lis
inspection, in view of the green state,
being made up largely of new recruits,
By the time another inspection rolls
around Company l.. can be expected
to come up to the military require
ments in every respect if the present
members stick to their work to that
time.

VISITS THE CONVICT CAMP
A Committee From the Grand Jury InSpeCtS the
zebrdS

The investigation of Sumter's con-
vict system at the hands of the grand
jury now in session is going to be
very thorough and complete. In his
charge to that body at the opening of
the session Judge u. A. Littlejohn was
quite emphatic thereupon.
He told the grand jury to investi-
gate the camps; to investigate the
management of convicts; and more
over, to investigate the numerous
wholesale escapes made recently.
Probably twenty or thirty convicts,
worth $500 each to the county as
laborers, are in the woods.
The wholesale escapes effected du-
ring the year reflects severely upon the

county, to say nothing of the great
financial loss sustained, running high
into the thousands of dollars. The
grand jury will find out who was re-
sponsibIe therefor
To this end committee of eight
grand jurors drove in buggles yester-
day to the single camp, out near
Myrtle Springs, to pursue their in
vestigations. Other evidence besides
that of the convicts will be heard to-
day before that body.
When the grand jury makes It's
recommendations prior to the adjourn
ment of cour'i The investigation of the
convict system will be thoroughly set
forth therein.

REPLIES TO PRICE STRIKE IS SERIOUS
SUPERINTENDENT KING MAKES A
 STATEMENT.
Attempts To Answer Former Cotton Bear, Who Would Restrain Ex- change From Making Incor-
 rect Figures.

New York, May 3--The New York Cot ton Exchange, through its superintend- ent w. V. King. tonight made public a statement concerning the charges made by Theodore H. Price in his suit brought against this institution.
 MT. Price seeks an injunction to re- strain the members of the Classifica- ton Committee from continuing its present methods on the ground that the cotton has been improperly classed. It Is alleged by MT. Price that actual re- classification has shown a wide differ ence in the grades from .he classifica- ton made by the committee.
 According to the statement made by the exchange during the past twenty years, 1t has inspected 3,358.022 bales of cotton, the total value of which was fixed at s159.210.99o Duringthis time. the total amount paid out Cn claims for cotton not coming up to the grade, was q, 1894, 456. Superintendent King, in re- ferring to the statement, said:
 This makes 1t plain that the Classi- flcation Committee Is performing its work with care. The Bureau of h. spection has been conducted for the past twenty years at a total expense of $99S,043. The Bureau is self spport- ing. being maintained out Of the re- ceipts derived from inspection charges"
