F|REMEN SUFFER
EYE AFFECTION
Inflammation Comes as Curious
Aftermath of Burning
Trolley Wires.

When they awoke yesterday morn
ing all the iremen of the Third street
Engine Company. OF the Fire Depart
ment. were surprised to find that they
could hardly open their eyes. and that
their eyes were badly infamcd. There
was a general and immediate call for
eye washes. and one or two had their
eyes examined by physicians. fearful
that they had contracted some new,
strange disease.
Examination showed that the eye
affection was an aftermath OF the fire
which destroyed car OF the Virginia
Railway and Power Company on Main
Street between First and Second. Fri
day afternoon during the violent cleo
trical storm. While they were fight
ing the blaze. the burning ends OF
high power trolley wires danced with
the shifting wind before the flremen.
and sparks of fire leaped between the
rails The flames from the wires were
shot through with violent colors and
the glare was 80 intense that the
fircmen could hardly see. They felt
no affection ut the time, except the
half blindness that comes from too
steadily glaring into light. but yester-
day morning the eyes of all were red
and swollen and badly Unnamed
Inquiry developed the fact that peo-
pie living on the block where the ear
was destroyed were suffering the SAME
III effects, and many consulted ply
sicans 1t seems that nearly every
person who witnessed the destruction
OF the car and saw horse killed by
coming into contact with trolley
wire. was suffering yesterday with In
ilammation OF the eyes.
The affection. though painful and
causing Inconvenience. Is not serious,
and Will disappear after proper treat
mcnt.

amendments
Mr.. untermcyer said the bin gunr-
anteed TO the banks entering the sys-
tenn a monopoly of the banking busi-
ness OF the country.
In that respect the bin "a more
generous than any banking system In
the world said ne. Mr.. rntermeyer
added that by using his vivid oriental
imagination" he could conceive Of q
situation in which the federal reserve
board, by fixing the discount rate.
could bring about period of easy
moneg FOR political purposes. He said
he believed the minimum limit OF one
half per cent discount rate was too
low.
Senator Brlstow declared the small

ed % show that the country banks
