NEW FIRE HOUSE
If Equipped Yesterday Might
 Bave Prevented Fire.

The fire in Martin Scully's barn on Sylvan avenue yesterday did It's work rapidly and had 1t not been for the efforts of the department, aided by the abundant supply of water available, it is likely that the two dwelling houses in the immediate vi- cinity would have gone up in smoke, too. The building was insured for $200 through the agency of J. A. Hynes & Son, and with the contents was worth in the neighborhood of 1000. A few of the neighbors col lected and snatched such things as they could reach from the flames, but they were driven out before they could do much. MT Scully says that if he had talked less about fire boxes and engine houses and put few hundred more dollars insurance on his barn he would have shown him. self wiser man, but it is too late for him to take the hint now. In all seriousness, no more delay than can possibly be helped should be made in equipping the house in that neighborhood, for the fire risks are serious and have been so for many years. With house at the foot of the street where the fire occurred and the alarm sent in promptly, as was done in this case, the damage would not have amounted to $100. Just how the fire started is mys- tery. John Burke, who lives up stairs in MT Scully's house. and Mrs Q'Reilly were sitting on the rear teranda facing the barn when they noticed the smoke. MT Burke ran over and found smart blaze direct ly beside the south end of the build- ing in the chicken yard, where mo- body hardly ever has occasion to go. No time was lost in pulling the box, but when the Brooklyn company reached there, there was not much left of the barn and adjoining build- ings. The firemen forgot that they had the high pressure and were promptly knocked down when the hydrant was opened another eyi- dence that no matter how many de- partments fall behind public re- quirements the water department is always equal to any emergency. This, of course, is no slap at the fire- men, for considering the distance they had to make they made good time and did excellent work when they got there. MT Scully fully ap- preciates their efforts in preventing further loss and also wishes to thank the young men who risked their lives to save what they could get hold pf

out of town. The vital point ln the investigation is now whether some boys really loosened the brakes on the cars which ran away or whether they were not bTaked properly by the last crew that had been on them.
 Gloven and Martin, the bTakemen on the train which tried to couple the cars that did the damage were some distance from the coupling pin when the cars were to be joined. They were signalling the engineer at the time
 The stories of the railroad men dif- fer somewhat and their testimony on some points Is rather at odds. Some claim that they were under the im- preston that the track was clear, while others were Of a different im- pression. The entire responsibility to all appearances rest on the crew that left the batch of tweaty-one cars near the weriden junction improperly hraked. that Is unless 1t can bs brought out that the brakes were l0osened by some boys In the vicinity.

ATTACK BY REvOLUTI0NlsTs.
Band Tries to Seize Las vaeas, Mexi-
 co, and Is RepuIsed.


 Fl Paso. Tex, June 27.--A special dispatch received here says a band of Mexican revolutionists attacked the town of Las Nacas, Mexico, and some of the revolutlonists are believed to have crossed into Texas. The Texas sheriff wired asking the governor If he could arrest any fugitives coming into the state. The governor referred the matter to the attorney general who held that the state officers could take no action, as the matter of political fugltiyes coming into the United States from foreign countries was question for federal authorities to deal with. It is reported that the revolu- tionists were repulsed
 About 5000 shots were exchanged in Las Vacas. The officers quarters were burned and between forty and fifty killed on both sides. The troops com, mander was badly wounded Another outbreak is expected, as the revolution ists have well armed cavalry.
 All telegraphic and -telephonic wires have been cut The worst attack oc- cured at the custom house.
 The arrest in this city of eleven Mexicans alleged to be involved in proposed revolution against Mexico has created alarm among the officials of Juarez, the Mexican town across the river from this city. Troofs are guarding the custom house and the banks. Rumors that bombs had been found near the custom house and post office are denied by federal officials.
 Fourteen alleged revolutionists have been arrested in the city of Chihuahua, and quantity of arms and ammuni- tion has been seized. Four of the men arrested in this city were released on account of insufficient evidence. Seven are still in jail. The men are charged with fomenting revolution against friendly power while in the United States.
 The Mexican consul in this city has sent to his government q lengthy re- port regarding the local arrests.
