Many offenses which certain po-

years ago, but which Hoyne cannot
touch on account of the statute of

Mayor Harrison announced last

There will be big investigation of

cannot be based, but which is suffi-

JAIL UNSANITARY.
Board of Health Not Pleased with Con-

satisfactory.
The report OF the board states that the
downstairs portion OF the jail contained
six cells with capacity for Il persons
and Il 1t each cell was provided with two
swinging cots equipped with mattresses
and blankets or quilts and pillows which
did not appear sanitary. the cells also

The plumbing in the Jail, though fairly
modern, was not in good condition and did
not properly answer the requirements.

A WEEK OF SHOWS.
Exhibition at Athletic Park in August
for Firemen's Relief Fund.

Chief c. a. Niles of the fire department
will make an effort this year to put the
fremens relief fund on n substantial
basis, and to this end he has just closed a
contract with the Hall & Upton Exposition
shows for weeks performance in this
city the first week in August, beginning
the Bird. The show ground will be Athletic
Park. The organization hired combines
Il shows with a midway, and is like the
street carnival which Burlington enjoyed
a few years ago. There will be all the
usual features, including a Ferris Wheel.
etc, In all, there are 20 people connected
with the organization.
1t is the intention of Chief Niles to run
the fund up to a figure where it will
amount to more than It does now. This
fund was established about Is years ago
and up to the present time has grown
chiefly by the subscriptions of citizens
When tho present chief came into Office
ten years ago the fund amounted to about
300. 1t has grown during his admnistra-
ton to $9G5.l9. 1t is one of the laws gov
erninE this fund that only the interest
can be paid out in benefits. All payments
are ordered by the city council and pay
ment is made by the city treasurer, who is
also the treasurer of the fund. Up to the
present the only money paid out in bene-
fits has been for firemen who were injured
in the performance OF their duty. 1t is ex-
nected that with the help given it by the
carnival the fund may be increa sed to
5000 or $500 so that sick benefits and
small pensions to old flremen who have
retired may be provided for There is also
another firemen's fund which was donated
by the late Louisa Howard for the Boxer
Engine company and the Howard Hose
company. AS these organizations have
practically gone out of existence IL is ex-
pected that the fund will he added to the
fremen's fund mentioned. This fund
which was originally 500 now amounts to

HEREDITARY ACCIDENTS.

Now and then one comes across cases of
what might be termed hereditary acci-
dents. says a writer In the Strand A
groom in the employ of a gentleman liv-
ing at Dyserth, North Wales. was kicked
to death by a mare belonging to his en-
ployer, who al once got rid of the brute
He then took the son OF the dead man into
his service in a similar capacity as his
father, Almost exactly a year later the
son was kicked and killed by a foal OF the
mare which had killed his father,
At the French railway station OF La
Ricamarfe, young man named Benod
Fontvielle was employed as shunter One
day in September 1903, he was crossing
the rails just in front of a couple of car
rages pushed by n locomotive, when he
was seen to stop suddenly. Before any
thing could be done to help him, the car
rages and the locomotive had passed over
him, killing him instantly. On examina-
ton II was found that the heel OF his boot
had caught between two rails at the
points At the inquiry a witness stated
that the father of the deceased had met
his death in an exactly similar manner on
the selfsame SPOT.
On December 20 of the same year an
American named Samuel Turner was kill
ed al Port Norris, n. j.. in the same fash
ion was Fontvlelle, namely. by getting
his heel caught in the frog of h switch.
Ten years earlier his father had come to
his end by the same means at the same
place. and the identical fate befell his
grandfather, who was trapped in the same
switch In the year 1883,
| In August. 1906 two friends. William
| Connolly and Patrick Cantwel, were
drowned by the upsetting of float" or
! tho Grand Canal near Tullamore. in King

the same day, SO years earlier. they were
baptised in the same water. and they were
buried together after a joint funeral ir
