that he was stanch TO the interests OF
Newfoundland and the hsherfoik.
Bond has been c~anvassing the districts
round about st. Johns for the last few days
in the interest OF his candidates and has
been getting terribly stormy receptions

Western Bay to-day, where he purposed

WILL HAVE CHEMICAL ENGINE
radically Rough Money Is Now in Sight to Pur-
 chase Equipmet

IL seems that Springdale is really to have fire company.
 Alderman Wilson Gardwell re- gently made a canvass of the town, and we understand se- cured contributions to the amount of about S35O to aid in the purchase Of the necessary equipment. At the meeting of the town council Tuesday night II Was voted to appropriate sum not exceeding S250 for the same purpose, all Of which be- gins to look like business. The amount so far in sight is al- most enough to purchase the equipment, which will consist of chemical engine and hooks ant ladders. Six dozen galvanized iron buckets have already been purchased by the company and are now on hand
 At q recent meeting of the fire company J. F. Bennett was appointed on the purchasing com mittee, and at meeting of the council Tuesday night Aldermen Graves and OWnbey were ap= pointed as a like committee. and these three gentlemen will have charge of the matter. It is not known yet when the purchase will be made, buf RFobably at an early date.
 While there k practically enough money Ill sight 10 buy the equipment, still some provision will have to be made for hous- ing the apparatus, and if you have not yet contributed any thing to aid the fire company you yet have the opportunity. If the money can be raised we un- derstand it has been decided to erect q building on the lot owned by J. S. Dearholt i'll the rear of the News building wherein to house the freight ing apparatus.
