GREASE, FIRE, SMOKE. .

GOOD DINNER SPOILED At REu-
GERS AND CHEF STARTLED
THAT'S ALL.

4 pot of grease. plenty of smoke,
little fire and the wild 'alarum OF fre
engines afforded much excitement to
home going crowds at Ninth and Bank
streets at $50 o'clock yesterday even
ing, when fire broke out in the kitchen
of Rueger's hotel, startled the chefs
and spoiled a good dinner,
The flames shot rapidly from the pot
Of grease into the flooring, ceiling and
the partition. and clouds OF dense
smoke swirled up to the sky. A still
alarm was turned in first, and this was
followed by a regular call, summontng
three engines and truck wagon.
People swarmed from all directions In
the trail of the engines. and settled
themselves comfortably around capitol
square to watch the big FIRE. They
were disappointed. Three lines were
run into the hotel through the front
and rear alley, and the flames were
quickly drowned out. But considerable
damage was done to the kitchen, and
the loss will reach to about $500.
Another dinner was put on, and the
guests were satisfied.
The alarm was responded TO by En-
CINE companies 8, and and by No.
/ Truck company.

CussED BY CITY ENGINEER
AND ROBERT LECKY, JR.
SOME IDEAS SUGGESTED

That the map Of Richmond pre-
sents in many RESPECTS mystic maze
even to the native. and that reforma-
ton In the naming and numbering
Of tt5 streets liz eminently desirable,
was the proposition laid down at the
table-talk luncheon OF the Business
Mems club yesterday afternoon by
both City Engineer Charles f, Boil
ing and Robert Lecky, Jr.. the two
speakers taking up the usual time
allotted for the talk-fest in an inter
esting way.
Both a6monished the business men,
however. that they should go slow in
undertaking such a reform as realty
deeds and other important interests
are involved in the contemplated
changes. and the only proper manner
.s the appointment of commission
which. with the map Of Richmond be
fore It and some knowledge Of con-
ditions, TO go about the task deliher-
ately and carefully, and even then it
would be M easy undertaking in view
OF the city's topography, which Mr.,
Lecks pronounced unlike any city he
knows, and he knows cities from
the st Lawrence to the Rio Grande."
Mr.. Lecky's Suggestion,
Mr.. Lecky offered the suggestion
that he streets be numbered to the
west IS they are in the east. dis
tinFuishing them by First street

He defied any man in the assemblage
outside ,of the city engineer to find,
for example. No. $500 Winder street.
and no one took up the gauntlet. and
he dep1ored the lamentable lack OF
proper recognition OF Virginia's
Observation-Disclosures for instance
suggesting that the father Of his
country re perpetuated by giving his
namc to a more dignified throughfare
and reclaiming the monument to his
memory from the Seventeenth street
bottom.
City Engineer Boiling agreed en-
tirely with Mr.. Leck's conclusions and
suggestions, taking occasion to remind
him, however. that their are now three
Washington streets in Richmond and
it's subdivisions. to the man FIRST in
peace" Is well remembered. Mr.. Boil
ling went into some interesting de-
tails regarding the laying out of
Richmond the first map Of which was
made by william Byrd and embraced
the territory from Seventeenth to

Reynolds idea Is to graduate it in such
way that the heavier burden will fall
upon the big corporations.

this morning that he regarded the de-

the tobacco trust case AZ q mere sub

He Is considering the possibility of a
new action in court against the to-
bacco company.
Meantime. however. the independent

that the trust is still Expressing them
