NEGRO BURGLAR.

Mrs. George Salvato, of 527 Allan
tic avenue, was awakened by a negro
thief in her home at 2:30 o'clock
Monday morning and, calling to her
husband, frightened the intruder off.
Salvato secured his Winchester rifle
and followed the fleeing black from
the bedroom to the kitchen door,
through which he had fed into the
yard, scaling a fence. Salvato fired
at the negro, but it is not believed
that the bullet struck the intended
mark. Nothing was stolen. The
negro gained entrance by raising the
kitchen window, through which he
climbed, then opened the door as a
means of exit. The burglar is de-
scribed as being very black, five feet
and eleven inches in height, weigh
ing about $50 pounds. He wore a
black suit and derby.

THE BIG ALGIERS FIRE.
Fire Ropes Badly Needed.


On Saturday evening about 4:3O fire
was discovered in one of the two new
houses recently erected by Peter Rupp
in Bermuda street, and before the fire
department had arrived the flames
had already made quite a good head
way, which was famed by a steady
north wind that had been blowing all
day. 1t was only a short time. how
ever, when the Algiers fire companies
were on the scene and in less than half
an hour the fire was under control,
which was quite a surprise TO the many
spectators who witnessed the conflag-
ration.
The fire destroyed both of these new
houses and not only threatened the
drugstore, but it also looked for a time
that it would sweep across the street,
and with the stiff north wind blowing
it was very evident that unless some
heroic efforts were made a great con-
HdSl alum NOulu tame pace. ONltl
Daily at once recognized this and sent
for several companies from the city
side to be ready in case the fire spread.
At one time during this fire there were
five other fires at the same time. One
directly across the street at John Gay
nor's house, one at Luke Gillen's. the
roof of Mrs. Woolfe's house in Olivier
street, and two negro shacks in Olivier
street. These smaller fires were. of
course. put out by the different people
who were in the neighbOrhood. but it
goes to show that Chief DAILY did not
take any chances at all when he sent
for the other fire companies.
This big fire Saturday showed very
conclusively that the department on
this side of the river needs, more than
anything else, a set of fire ropes to be
placed around a fire so that the many
spectators do not intrfere with the fire.
men. At times it was almost impossi-
Bile for the tiremen to get through the
crowds in going for supplies to their
wagons, then back to the fire, and
while the policemen were on hand, the
crowd was so large that they were I'M
able to be of any service.
These fire ropes, from what we I'M
derstand, are merely ropes, the cost of
which would not exceed $40 and would
be of great value in cases of this kind.
We certainly trust that Chief DAILY will
make requisition for these fire ropes
and insist on getting them.
The fire department is certainly to
be congratulated on their work. 1t
was a miracle that they were able to
control the blaze in the short time
that they did, especially under the
weather conditions.
Following are the losses incurred by
the residents and owner of the pro-
perry:
The house, SCI and 533 Bermuda
street, owned by Peter Rupp and occu.
pied by A. E. Hays and F. Calvin. The
house, insured for $4,000, was damaged
about $4,000 The furniture of Mr..
Hays, insured, was damaged about
$500. The furniture OF Mr.. Calvin, in
sured, was damaged about $500. The
house, 535 and 537 Bermuda, owned by
Mr.. Rupp. and occupied by Charles
Moseley and Jas. L. Higgins, was dam
aged about $1,000, covered by insur-
ance. A damage of $3.50 was done to
the furniture of Mr.. Moseley, and about
$3.50 to Mr.. Higgins effects.
