the first fire commissioners OF Baitl-
more, and well known in the grain

long time he was member OF the
volunteer fire department. He was
a director of the Corn and Flour Ex-
change. He was twice married, his

phones and telegraph apparatus and
aeronautics interested him nightly

a Philadelphia woman who several

issuing new bills for the old. Quite
