HOSE IS PURCHASED.
City Secures Needed Additional
Fire Apparatus.

Six hundred feet of new hose and
two more shut off nozzles were pur-
chased by the city fire committee who
met in the Office of their chairman,
Mayor Ralston, Monday evening to
dispose of the matter, which was re-
ferred to them at the last meeting of
the city council. Every member of
the committee was present and the de-
cision to make the purchase was
unanimous. About eleven o'clock the
contract was awarded to the New York
Betting & Packing Co.. who were rep
resented at the meeting by Mr.. H. G.
Noack of Chicago, manager of the fire
hose department.
]. A. Bull of Chicago, r. H. Salter,
representing the Chicago Fire Hose
Co., and J. C. Carter, representing the
Gutta Percha & Rubber Mfg. Co. of
Chicago, were also present and Gale
before the committee one by one.
This new material will furnish the
equipment which has been needed for
some time to efficiently protect the
city from fire and will allow the leav-
ing a supply of reserve hose at the
building during all fires for use in case
an emergency should arise in the event
of there being two fires at one time.
With plenty of hose and plenty of noz-
zles ample fire protection can now be
afforded any business block or resi-
dence. ..

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Nov 9.-The Black Dia-
mond today says:
THE Chicago coal market for this
week is in an expectant and waiting
attitude. The current situation does
not interest the operator, jobber or
the consumer near as much as does
the prospective situation two weeks
from now. Many of the consumers,
believing that a shortage of coal is
coming and will be rather acute, es-
pecially if the miners decide to strike
rather than accept checks in payment
of wages, are endeavoring to lay in a
supply of coal ahead of the prospec-
tive need and consequently they have
been offering to take spot coal at
fairly good prices.
THE producers, however, have been
shipping on contract, selling very little
spot coal, and have been taking care
of their regular customers first. The
jobbers in the meantime are not dis
posed to sacrifice any spot coal, even
though the market for it were soft,
preferring to pay demurrage charges
that the prospective benefit may be de-
rived from this when the supply be
comes short. For that reason the
whole coal market in Chicago for the
minute has most artificial strength
even though the underlying and gen
eral conditions are satisfactory.
"The anthracite trade shows some
improvement in conditions. Egg sizes
are plentiful and whereas chestnut
has been short some of the shippers
are catching up on their orders and
are in better position now than they
have been since last August.

loss of services and loss of society OF
his wife for the time elapsing between
the hour of her injury and the hour
of her death, which was but only
a few hours. The jury returned YER
diet today for $4,000 damages in favoc
of the plaintiff. The suit was brought

Reason LOSES THUMB
Painful Accident Befalls Well
Known Market Man.

AS the result of a rather unusual ac-
cident in the Harris Bros. grocery
store yesterday, Ed Reason suffered
the loss of the thumb on his left hand
and is still suffering much pain as the
result of the amputation which was
necessary. Mr.. Reason was operating
the automatic machine used in the
meat department of the store to slice
hams, bacon and other varieties of
meat, and accidentally pushed his
thumb in the path of the knife. The
cutting is done by means of large
idly, and the meat is automatically
carried backward and forward on the
carrier table past the sharp edge of
the revolving steel. A thin metal
gauge on the outer surface of the
wheel is used to scrape the slices of
meat off the knife after being cut and,
as this gauge had become loose, MI
Reason had placed his thumb on it,
pressing 1t against the wheel to pre-
vent the sliced meat from clogging
the machine as it would have done
otherwise. Just as the big piece of
bacon which he was cutting went up
against the knife at a rapid speed, his
thumb slipped in front of it and in
the twinkle of an eye the member had
been severed just above the middle
joint. The lower part of the thumb
was also slightly smashed, and when
medical aid was secured it was deem
ed necessary to amputate the thumb
close down against the hand. The op-
Grafton was quite painful

always cheerful and patient, with an
abiding trust in God. And so he died,
Just as he had lived, faithful to every
trust, true to his manhood, and Sc
cure in the promise of God. He
moved to this city about twenty years
ago and was married about that time
to Mrs. Martha Jones, who survives
him. They secured the little home on
North H street, where they have con-
tinued to live peacefully and happily
until death came to separate them.
