FIRE ALARM
GIVEN TEST
Batteries Now on Third
Floor of City Hall--sys-
tenn Changed.
TAPS SOUNDED TODAY

Experts of the Gameweli Company
today completed Improvements and
changes to the police call and fire
alarm systems, Improvements that
will annually save the city considera-
bic money. The batteries and motor
generator have been transferred
from police headquarters to the third
floor of city hall, and switchboard,
larger but of the same type as that
In the police station, installed.
No longer will it be necessary to
re-charge the ia batteries of the
fire alarm system or the cells con-
trolling the police call. Formerly
the cells had to be refilled every few
months with zinc and bluestone, at
an expense to the city. The batteries
now are of the chloride accumulator
type, changed in a few hours with
the dynamo They need no filing
and will last indefinitely.
The switchboard is one of the i'm
proved patterns made by the Game
well Company. Through 1t the alter
mating current of the Public Service
Company Is converted into a direct
current for the fire alarm and police
call systems. Additions may be made
to the number of fire alarm boxes at
any time. The switchboard is capa-
bic of accommodating all the boxes
the city may place in the various
sections for the next twenty-five
years, according to experts of the
company.
The automatic fire alarm transmit
ter, small piece of mechanism
which receives the alarm and trans
mits it to the fire bell and whistles.
has also been moved from police
headquarters to the third floor of city
hall. All the apparatus is confined
in small room at the northerly end
OF the top floor, partitioned off by
wood and wire.

STRIKE: NOT
YET SETTLED
Plumbers Unable to Reach
Agreement With Bosses--
Meeting Today.
STILL REFUSE TO TALK

There is no change in the situation
of the plumbers strike which started
here yesterday. The journeymen and
jHnior members of local No. 270, Plum
bers, Steam and Gas Filters Union,
numbering about thirty, are still out.
with no knowledge Of when they might
return so long as they adhere to the
demands, which the bosses claim are
exorbitant.
Up to noon today only the two men
employed by G. w. Hoagland and a
helper for j. W. Dorsey, were the only
ones to return. They went back yester-
day, as told in yesterdays NEWS. Mr..
Hoagland, who is general contractor,
granted the demands in order that his
work might not be tied up, and the un-
ion officials permitted Dorsey's helper
TO return.
Local No 270 held special meeting
in union headquarters this morning.
The situation was reviewed and dis
cussion on the strike was held. Mem
bers of the arbitration committee re-
ported that the bosses had made no
attempt to meet the demands and after
that the union adjourned and most of
the strikers went to New Brunswick
to witness the fremen's g parade.
The boss plumbers remain firm in
their contention that journeymen and
Junior plumbers now receive enough in
$4 a day and they refuse to grant the
increase of forty cents day. They
held a meeting last night and say they
do not expect to hold any meeting to
confer upon the strike question. One
master plumber stated this morning,
that although no meetings have been
held the bosses all stand firm upon the
one thing, to refuse the demands be-
cause he said, each boss knows tirat
they are exorbitant.

The countess arrived today from Chi

the story of the count dying. A re-
port that the count and countess had
duarreled and that he was about to
leave her, created a sensation among
their friends in this city. Friends to-
day say that the count sent word to
her. If this was his plan it worked
well. The countess rushed here at once.
On her arrival to her husbands apart
ments she refused to say anything of
their rumored quarrel anl separation,
other than ''it Is cruel lie. -
Later In the day. one of the Counts
associates said the accident took
place not in Central Park but,in Van
Courtlandt Park. According to this
informant the count was thrown
clear over his horses head, landing
heavily against tree. He was also
said to be more seriously hurt than
his housekeeper would admit.

HAPPY DAY FOR TWO.

the Circus.

Connected with the circus yesterday
was a romance in which two New
York people figured. Walter L. Por-
ter OF Crown Point. ~ years of age,
and Miss Martha Sawyer Of Ticonder
oga, 81, came to the city on the morn
ing boat, with the avowed intention
of seeing the circus and getting mar
Rod.
Upon arriving here Walter hustled
to the office of the city clerk and pro
cured license and then called upon
Justice Stearns, across the hall, to
make them one. This particular jus
tice has not been tying any knots Of
late and he made known this fact to
the disappointed couple,
Walter and Martha then visited the
residences OF several ministers, but
they were all out and it began to look
as though they would be late for the
circus. Justice Grafton, however. was
found on the joh and at two o'clock
he made Walter and Martha one. Mr
and Mrs. Porter then boarded a circus
car and in the late afternoon took tho
boat for home.
