NEED OF AERIAL TRUCK.

The fircmen were greatly handl-
canned by the many electric and other
wires last night in their efforts to eX-
tinruish the fire in the kid works at
the foot of Prince street. Alderman
G.. J. ". Summers, chairman of the
fire committee Of the City Council,
acted as chief engineer of the fire de-
partment, and he found it necessary
TO direct the electric officials TO turn
off the current before any effective
work could be accomplished. This, OF
course. left the city in darkness dur
ing the time the fircmcn were enga%-
cd. The need of an aerial truck was
realized, as had the city one OF these
contriyances it would have been an
easy matter for the men to have pour
ed water into the third story OF the
building where the fire originated
and the cutting Of the building and
destruction of the contents might
have been averted Mr.. Summers
positively refused to allow men to
enter the burning structure, as there
was probability Of walls or floors
failing.

he sufficiently recovered from his at
tack of nervous prostration to tell his
side of the case.
One witness has flatly sworn that
Schroeder was drunk less than foul

before the train left Elmira and that
he was call right"
Other witnesses swore that they

Two saloon Keepers, in whose places
this man and the engineer were, tes-
titled that Schroeder drank water and
his companion beer.
That Schroeder was called twice to

of the records. 1t was shown, how
ever, that in neither case did the call
er make the engineer sign the call
book as required by the rules of the

That the death list would have been
vastly reduced if all steel cars had
been used was shown by the testimony
of the conductor of the ill-fated train.
