TWO BELL ALARMS
 FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT
One Gall for Brush Fire and One for
 Blaze in Basement.

FOR FIRE DEFAR " FIN One Gall for Brush Fire and One for
 Blaze in Basement.
 At $40 on Saturday evening box +5 at the corner of Walnut street and Laurel Hill avenue was rung in for a brush fire about a half a mile farther down on Laurel Hill, below the TheT- mos factory. A coleFed man named Marshall saw the blaze of quite a fire some distance off and rang the box. The autochemiCal and Chemical Go. No. 1 from Main street station re- sponded, and the auto went on down to the Thermes factory, where they warned the watchman to have on a line of hose in ease the fire seemed to come any nearer. This did not seem a likely chance as the wind was blowing the other way. Then the ma chine came back without bethering about the fire
 At 3.23 Sunday morning there was an alarm from Box 6 Main. street near Talman, rung in by Policeman Ed mund Maloney, for fire that had more serious possibilities in it and in which the prompt discovery and the arrival O fthe fremen was a fortunate thing. It was a blaze that had started at the back of the building, No. 400 Main street and on the ground floor in d room used by John G. Potter for keep Ing oil and also TOT ngnt storage. IL seemed te have started among some boxes and egg crates near d window and was bursting out through the clap boards with a few tongues of flame when the firemen arrived Where the fire started was away from the oils. John c. Potter said he could see noth- ing in the place that could have start ed a fire and he could not see what would have started it. fiji
 The Main street chemical and the auto made quick work of it with a stream of water and the fire did not reach upstairs, although the tenants got a lot of smoke. The building is occupied by MT. Pot1er's market and grocery store and by tenements.

ROUTED FIREMEN
 OUT OF THEIR BEDS
Man Had Fool Question to Ask in
 Midnight Hours.

A score or more of firemen at the Central Fire station were routed out of bed half an hour after midnight Saturday by a telephone inquiry as to the location of one of the city streets. Chief Stanton has given or ders that all the men in the station are to get up and dress whenever the tel ephone in the station rings at night and so according fo the custom the firemen responded to the call. When the fireman at the desk lifted the re- ceived fro off the hook he h card a mans voice ask. Will you tell me where Rose street is? The reply was sent back with considerable feeling and the man wso asked the question was informed that the Central Fire station was not an information bureau and also that the city directory would give him the information he was seek ing. He was also told, it is under stood, that he had caused quite a com motion in the station and had gotten all the fremen out of their beds.
 As this is not the first time it has happened some of the firement thought it advisable to let the public know that the department will refuse to an SWer any such questions.
