"GILLIEo AND his HORSE.

At a recent meeting Of the City
Council a communication was receiver
from the fire wardens asking an appro-
pri ,tion of six bundled dollars TO pur-
chase pair OF horses for the Columbia
Engine Company. The communlca-
.tiou was referred to the joint commit
tees ON finance and public property. 1t
i known that selection has been
ma lie and Council on Tuesday night
next will be asked aud will no doubt
make an appropriation. On January
%. 1902, the two horses now said to
have outlived their usefulness, were
purchased in Loudoun county, four
hundred dollars being paid for them.
The gray horse now used at the poors
house was at that time sent from the
Columbia house. On Monday last
wi h ellie" on the cart, driving the
same old horse-both faithful in their
spheres Of useiulcess--could be seen 10
the snow storm, on their rounds, and
his old horse appeared to feel his de-
clining years. II the old grays at the
Columbia house are played out, as
claimed. and can no longer be carried
on the fire r5lls why not turn one over
TO the poor house and give the old vet
erau now there a rest? The horses
now at the Columbia have been in SER
vice nine years, and it is supposed their
ages are known. A horse was bought
for the Columbia wagon in April, 1904,
at q cost OF $3.50. This horse lasted
six years as a fireman. In February
1919 it was sold for 800, for the poors
house, and $3.50 paid for the dark horse
now used for the Columbia wagon. In
November. 1902, the city purchased for
$500 two black horses for the Relief
Hook and Ladder Company. This
pair lasted less than four years as fire
men. FOR in August, 1906, the present
pair Of grays was purchased, the city
paying S275 and giving the two blacks
for them in exchange.
On April IS, 1909, the City Council
was asked to make an additional APP
preparation for the fire department, the
Reliance Company having lost horse.
Two weeks later, April 81, an appro-
priation Of $500 was made, and one
Of the team then in service, a fairly
good horse, was sold for Sl60 and with
the $500 pair of horses was pur-
chased for S525. These are the horses
now in service, and no doubt made
their bow to the public Home Coming
Week. The wagon horse now in use
was purchased January 81, 1908, pur-
chase rrice $3.50

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

improvements at a total expenditure
of S134, 1854 we're made on Wash
ington's water front during the fiscal
wear OF 1910, according to the report
OF Capt. Warren Z. Hannum, corps OF
engineers, United States army, in
charge OF Potomac river improve
ments.
Extracts from the report OF the chief
OF engineers OF the army, which prefix
Cant Hannum's report, disclose that
more than 80 per cent of the projects
started to deepen the channels OF the
Potomac river in the vicinity OF Wash
ington have been completed. These
projects also had in view the constru-
lion OF sea walls, the filing in OF certain
flats, and the removal OF several sand
bars which impeded the commerce OF
the river.
According to the report, little time
is required to perfect the plans laid
wears ago for the opening Of the Poto-
mac river commerce to Georgetown,
Washington, and up the Anacostia
branch of the stream.
Capt. Hannum 5 report treats chiefly
Of the improvements that have been
made along the river in the vicinity OF
Potomac park, where the most OF the
money has been expended.

been stated, Mr. Amos Fisher IS the

tween Alexandria and Washington,
was destroyed by FIRE. The engine
was removed from the hull and placed
in the Phenix which vas later built at
the present sbIpyard, The, Phepix ran
for some time as a ferry boat between
this city and Washington and vas used
ior the transportation Of the Alesan'

kidnapped child May Die.

Atlantic Highlands, N. j. Dec, 10.
Because he thought she was dead
and feared TO touch the body until 9
coroner arrived, Frank Petilla per-
mitted his four.year-old daughter,
Mamie. TO lie under a fence at his
home for some time today, although
she was breathing. The weather was
very col !, and the child IS in such a
condition as the result OF the exposure
that she may die. The unerrlng in
stinot OF the mother resulted in Mamie
being picked up b,fore she was actually
frozen to death.
The child was kidnapped on October
20, presumably by hand OF Sicilians
operating in this section matchmaking
their fellow countrymen. Today the
father, on leaving his house, saw the
body OF his daughter under the porch.
Believing her dead, he sent word to
County Detective Minugh, who sum
moned Coroner John I. Sickles. While
waiting for the coroner to arrive the
body was left where it lay although
the thermometer was only sixteen de-
grees above zero.
The mother OF the child finally
heard that she had been found. With
cry she broke away from her hus.
band who tried TO restrain her, and
plucked the tiny form from the ground.
Che soon saw that there was life in the
body, and a doctor was hurriedly
called and managed to revive the
