EGGS FROM RUSSIA
IN The CITY MARKET

The first evidence Of a reduction in
the high cost of living as a result of
the revision of the traiff has appeared
in this city in the form of cheaper
eggs.
/. .Eisenman, of No. 234 King street,
early this week received a consign-
ment Of eggs from Europe, and ow-
ing TO the fact that he had to pay
no duty upon them he was able to re-
tail them at a much lower price than
the usual market price for such a
commodity.
Mr.. Eisenman received twenty-five
cases Of the eggs, each case contain
ing 120 dozen eggs. They we're pack
ed in excelsior and only a few dozens
in each case were broken. The eggs
are similar to the American White
Leghorn eggs, being white in color,
and their size is about the same as
the average egg. They are nearly all
the same size. and do not run quite as
large as do the American eggs. They
were shipped from Russia and Aus
tria. Mr.. Eisenman has disposed OF
all but three of the cases. They are
the first eggs to come into this city
from a foreign country under the new
tariff regulations.

g. o. Railroad, near Harvey station,

The identification of the body was
brought about by a woman Of Arden
who employed the man to work on her
farm, and who attended to mending
his clothes. She then notified the
mans relatives in Philadelphia, as the
result of which Miss Stuelgan came
to view the body at noon today, and
she positively identified it as that of
her relative.
This morning a man named John
Ferguson, who lives at Hillcrest, ac-
companied by two other men, called
at the morgue to view the body Mr..
Ferguson stated that he had brother
named William, who travels o great

brother. He declared, however, that
the body of the dead man is not biz
enough to be his brother.

TO CANCEL The
MORTGAGE OF
FAME FIRE co.
Councilman Slower Opposed to
MiplnC Out $4,000 Claim
Of the City
ALL OTHER COUNCILMEN
VOTED TO DO so, HOWEVER

When Councilman Draper present
ed a resolution at the meeting of
Council last evening providing that
the mortgage against the Fame Fire
Company be wiped out, spirited dis
cussion arose between several Of the
members. Colonel Stover opposed the
resolution, arguing that he did not
believe It was fair to other compan-
les that have been compelled to pay
their mortgages. He stated that sew
eral years ago the city loaned money
to several fire companies. Some were
compelled to pay this back and did re-
turn it. He said said the resolution
wipes out mortgage of $4,000. which
the city holds against the Fame COM
pany, and is in reality a gift to that
amount TO the company, and 1t is not
fair to the others. He said II Coun-
ell passed 1t, he will offer a resolu-
tion next week to wipe out the city
mortgages against the Friendship and
Water Witch Companies, and he
hoped il would be given the same con-
sideration that the one under discus
sion was given.
Councilman Zimmerman argued in
favor of the resolution. He sx-
planned why the mortgage against the
Fame Fire Company had never been
wiped out. He wound up his argu-
ments by stating that the mortgage
would have been wiped out years ago.
only some one forgot to pay It.
Mr.. Slower remarked that should
nh H..
should establish a paid Fire Depart
ment, and the volunteer companies
disband after dividing their property.
Mr.. zimmerman would share in
whatever money the Fame Company
will have, as he is a member of that
company.
Mr. zimmerman replied that he
would donate to the city all the money
he receives in this manner.
The resolution, which was adopted
by the vote OF all the members ex-
cept Colonel Slower, was as follows:
Whereas, The records of the city au-
ditor's Office show that between the
years 1859 and 1885, several of the fire
companies OF the city became indebted
to the city in various amounts, in many
instances giving their mortgagesst to Sc
cure the same; and
Whereas, A careful investigation Of
the records show that some Of this in
debtedness has been paid by the fire
companies and the mortgages satisfied 7;
and
Whereas, There remains on the rec
ord, certain of the mortgages which
have not been satisfied, but which the
FIRE companies contend have been paid in
/ full; and
Whereas, The Council is doubtful
whether these mortgages can be con
sidered an asset OF the city and are o
the opinion That it would therefore b
70 the best interest of the city to hav,
them satisfied; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Council, That thu
city treasurer be, and he is hereby au
thorized and directed to satisfy OF rec
ord all mortgages given by any of tbs
fire companies of the city in favor oi

chief of staff of the army, he will as
sumo command of the Department OF
the East, with headquarters at Cover
nors Island, Secretary of War Garri-
son announced today. He refused to
disclose who would succeed Wood as

chief Major General Thomas II. Barry

the Philippines. The only other major
general eligible for the appointment is
Arthur Murray, but Murray is believed
not to have sufficient social pull"
No reason has been assigned for the
sending OF Barry, admittedly one of the
best soldiers in the army, to the Phil
ippines instead Of bringing him here to
Washington. 1t was recalled today that
for nearly month prior to his inaugur-
alton, President Wilson considered ap-

styles, such as slit skirts and X-Ray

The styles were really beautiful, y
was the first remark today of Mrs

Some still border on the extreme, but
a decided change for the better is
noticed"
The committee plans to ask all gar
ment manufacturers to create a
standard skirt, which shall be at least
two yards around the bottom.
