FIREMEN AND POLICEMEN.

The chief Of the Chicago fire de-
partment, James Koran, one OF the
greatest fire fighters in this country
went down to his death yesterday
along with twenty.three other brave
fellows. Jim Koran was man o
the people He began life in humble
surroundings. but with that strange
and admirable energy of his marvel
Gus race he forged his way to the
front until he became the controilin
officer OF the second largest fire tigat
ing force in the United States.
Koran owed hts promotion 10 Meth

he attracted as friends, sons OF some
Of the most prominent citizens o.

TWO THINGS NEEDED.

The verdict OF tine coroner's jury
HI the case Of the aged negro driver
who was killed "wednesday by 9
street ear, was similar to those in the
cases Of two other people VINO were
killed by cars this year: Negro
woman named Cage, at Eighth stree
and Commercial avenue, and Edward
Koehler, on Twenty-eighth street. In
each case the street car company was
