Chemical No. [.

A meeting of the members of
Chemical No. was held in the Seller
Building Wednesday evening, at which
arrangements were made for continu-
ing the service Of this valuable addi-
ton to the Fire Department. There
is no doubt Of the effectiveness of the
chemical engine at fires when properly
equipped and handled, and with the
arrangements made at this meeting
carried out the obstacle heretofore
encountered in the management Of
the machine will be removed.
Mr.. W. ]. Warren has contracted
to place the engine on four wheels
within thirty days, the work to be ap-
proved by committee of the com
pany. This will do away with the
difficulty experienced in rapid trans
poration of tide engine and lessen the
strain upon the horses.
The engine will be turned over to
the company by the town and $50 per
quarter donated for its keep. Mr..
Jos. Elchinger, acting as purchasing
committee for the company, will go to
New Orleans and secure a suitable
horse.
Mrs. N. Seller, through the inter
cession Of the Seller Bros, made an
offer which was gladly accepted to
build an engine house for the chemical,
to be use by the company as long as
desired, free of charge with the pro-
vision that the company would pay
actual cost of material and labor.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Mrs. Seller and to Seller Brothers,

Work Of the Improve
ment Committee.

Jacob Seller, P. J. Lacroix and
Maurice blanche, constitute the I'M
Committee Of the Town Council. They
have concluded, in order to be of ser
vice IN their work, to invite sugges-
tons from citizens as to the needed
improvements, and for this purpose
Will hold meetings at the Town hall
every Wednesday of each week at
which all are invited to be present
who have any suggestions to make.
Every citizen should consider that the
interest Of the town is his interest. 1t
does no good to invite cooperation in
these matters if the citizen takes no
interest and does not trouble himself
to devise some means for the
advancement Of the town. 1t is to be
hoped that advantage will be taken of
this opportunity and that good results
will follow.
The twenty-five fire plugs that have
been ordered put in by the Committee
are situated as follows:
Columbia and Rutland
Boston and Columbia.
Watkins Drug Store.
Frank Norman's saloon.

The excursion from New Orleans to
Covington last Saturday, was handi-

But Mr.. III. L. Garland deserves
credit for the energy with which he
is pushing matters, and he will bring
another excursion to Covington today,
accompanied by New Orleans band.
With good weather, he should be sue
cessful and the excursionists have a
good time at the park.
The brick crusher purchased by the
town will be situated next to the St.

which will furnish the electricity for

crushing one car load of brick day,
this machine, if kept busy could soon
have material enough ready to pave
all the streets in town. There is ar
opportunity for some philanthropic
concern to make the town present
Of old brick. The N. O. G. N. has
promised to haul them, and there is
no doubt that the town can get then
on the streets. With the four bargt
loads Of shell that are to come, the
town should be able to make very
,rettv showing in street work.

Washington. Feb. 22.-For two hours
and half today the Senate discussed
the postal savings bank proposal, but
an attempt to reach an agreement as

The reading by Senator McLaurin Of
Washingtons farewell address consuin-
ed the first hour of the session. Sen
ator Aldrich obtained the consent of
the Senate to a resolution continuing
the committees of the Senate as they
now exist until their successors are
chosen in the next regular session. The
agricultural appropriation bill was TAX
en- up today.
Senator Aldrich interrupted the roll
tine procedure long enough to submit
a privileged resolution and have ii
agreed to, continuing tho present com
mittccS of the Senate until their sue
cessors are named at the next regular
session On account Of Senator La
Follettc'S recent attitude toward com
mittee assignments the resolution at
tractcd more than usual attention. Tho
Wisconsin senator was not in the
chamber when the resolution was
aprpp1 to
