Massacre Of ArmenIans.

As was stated in the Gaz ,tte, terrible
msssacres of Armenians in the vilayets OF
Bitlis and Van have occurred in the last
few days, and the situation there is re-
ported TO be very serious. Hundreds Of
ArmeniaDs are reported to have been
killed or seriously injured in the out
RACES.
Turkish soldiers are said to be taking
an active part in the massacres, assisting
the Kurds, who started the outbreaks.
Practically every town and village in the
two provinces affected has been the scene
Of murder and outrages practlced indis-
criminately on Armenian men and women
and children.
Armenians living in Constantinople
have received terrible stories of the in
dignities inflicted upon their country
men, and are greatly excited, and
alarmed. Men have been decapitated,
shot down in the streets, and in some
cases put to death by the most fright
full tortures. Women and young girls
have been outraged and killed. Even
children of tender years have not es-
capped the fury of the mobs, and have
met death in hundred different ways.
In the reports received in Constanti-
nople the masacres are charged
directly to Russian instigation. Russia,
it is asserted, is anxious to create dis
turbances and massacres, which will
cause the powers to insist upon reforms
in the Armenian provinces of Asistic
Turkey such as have been put in effect
in Macedonia as the result of the former
frequent massacres there. Russia hopes
to be made one of the civil agents to
manage affairs, which would give her
financial control of the region.

Burned Husband to Death.

Mrs. Klndrs Howrsto, aged eighteen,
of Dunmore, Pa, is 10 jail, charged
with having burned her husband to
death, that she might be free TO marry
her former lover, Ignatz Hutro, who is
also in jsil charged with being an acces-
sorry. The police officials say that Mrs.
Howrs.o has confessed and given all the
details of the crime. All the parties are
LithuaDians. According to the story
told the police by Mrs. Howrsto, she
and Hutro were lovers before she mar
ried Howrs;o, in the old country two
years ago. According to the woinan's
confession, Hutro came to the Howrsto
home on Monday and suggested that she
do away with her husband, 80 that they
could be married. Following Hutro's
suggestion, the woman got her husband
drunk, and when he was stupefied IN
bep she went to the room with the kero-
sene lamp. She poured the oil from the
lamp eu the bed, and then, she says, the
lamp dropped on the bed, setting it s6re.
At the sight of her husband roasting and
.quirmiug in the flaming bed, she be-
came horror stricken and rushed from
the house crying "Fjre." Neighbors
extinguished the flames and had How
rsto sent to hospital, where he died
without gaining consciousness. Hutro
denies all knowledge of the crime.

Twelve students for the priesthood at
the College of the Propaganda Eide, in
Guiding William Demury, of Mobile,
were mobbed Monday on the Piazza

elated by the recent victory of the anti

certainly shows a spirit of repentance.
 But in the year 1894 there was some thing substantial to repent for. The financial straits of that year led to the abolishment of two fire stations and cutting the fighting force down about half. It had hardly been done when the big Caldwell hotel, three four-story brick stores and two whole blocks of the business section were destroyed For her lesson Birming ham suffered the greatest setback in her history, as well as the greatest fire yet known in her limits, amount ing to more than a quarter of a mil lion dollars.
 The next awakening was in the first part of 1906. Despite the brave eff forts of John T. Mullin, who was a former chief, fire had been claiming innumerable losses. Struggling also with a poor equipment, Chief Walton, who had charge during the latter months, was unable to do any better The losses for 1905 amounted to $691,- 491 .46 more than ever before in the history of the city.
 The Mayor and Aldermen suddenly decided that they could not allow the growth of years to burn away at the rate of half million year. A. ". Bennett was chosen for the man of the crisis. When he became chief he faced a harder problem than will ever a chief meet in future years. In May. 1904. the city had been placed on 2 second-class basis.
 Backed up by Alderman Harry Jones, chairman of the fire committee, and Mayor Ward, s139,475.49 was ex- pended with great economy during the year The fighting force was nearly doubled, S10,000 was spent on perma- nent Improvements, which included the purchase of lot and the erection of a beautiful concrete station in Nor wood, and new stalls as well as zen eral improvements were made at every station.
 Seventeen thousand two hundred and sixty dollars was expended on apparatus and equipment, including two extra large extension aerial trucks, two improved modern engines. three hose wagons and 5000 feet of hose.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-17

Seventeen horses, costing S4000, were added to the equipment, the fire alarm telegraph system was entirely over hauled, the office of fire hydrant in spector was created and everything possible done until in February, 1905 the city was replaced on the first-class rate, and when the end of the year came around it was found that the losses only amounted to S392, 2,029.SS, or about half of the loss of the previ- ous year.
 One hundred and thirty-eight thou sand dollars expended by the city had saved the citizens the sum of $300,000, despite the fact that the year recorded the second largest fire yet known Every one agreed that it was a, good investment.
 It is believed that this third period of activity is the charm, that it will continue to act and that the officials will never sleep again while the city grows.
 Where once the flames burst out and consumed all within their reach, laughing at the approach of the pedes- trian reel, and frolicking with the bucket brigade, they now veil them selves with smoke. and though they try to hide their snealling tongues, the trained army of fighters overcomes them everyone.
 Turn in an alarm from the central business section and see the beauty of the system. Immediately the gong strikes the number of the box in nine fire houses, the Birmingham Railway,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-17

Light and Power company's emergen- cy station, the power house, and the North Birmingham pumping station.
 The next second the horses from stations 1, 2, and stretch out their limbs and draw the huge engines swiftly to the scene. Chief Bennett arrives first and becomes immediately the general of his small army.
 In case the fire has gotten some headway and he needs more men or apparatus, he goes to the nearest alarm box, opens special part which only he and the captains can open, presses the button three times, and pulls the box. Quickly stations No. 3 and 5 join the force at the fire, while station No. 9 moves like lightning from Norwood to station No. 1, the center of the Northside. Station No. 8 moves from Lakeview to No 3, the center of South Highlands, and station No. goes to No. 2, at Avenue D and Nineteenth street, where they all hold

tenn, he is man playing a mans part in his own sphere.
 He was later appointed captain, and on February 22, 1906, he was promoted to the head of the department. He immediately selected w. P. Walton to the office of assistant chief. MT. Wal ton makes a worthy lieutenant, having been on, the force since July 1, 1889. Briefly they have under their charge the following:
 Nine fire stations, six steam fire en- zines, nine hose wagons, two aeriel hook and ladder trucks, one chemical engine and two chiefs buggies. which together with the other equipment bears a total value of SS6992.37. The force consists of 12 captains, 1 super intendent of fire alarms. 1 fire hydrant inspector 1 lineman, engineers, 6 stokers, 66 flremen, 12 laddermen, 7 hostlers and 1 watchman, making a total of no men.
 Each company is little department to itself. To each is allotted large territory and when the alarm goes In the stations nearest make an instant run. At least three companies go to every fire.
