Mr.. Belmont's testimony consisted
chiefly of defence of the purchase by
him of the City Island and Pelham
Park railroad companies and his resale
of them to the Interborough. He
bought the roads-which have been de-
scribed as mule tramways-for S270,-
600. and sold them for $4,000 shares of
Interborough stock, cleaning up more
than 81 100000 on the deal

Belmont e. Co. purchased the lines be-
cause their franchises permitted the
holders to operate n railroad in the
City of New York. At the time of the

most built, when it was discovered its
charter to build did not carry with it
permission to run cars.

OUR FEARFUL FIRE LOSSES.
Most of Them Are Caused by Unsidi-

ness and Care.esaness.
The fire loss in the United states IS
about S250,OG0 day, or an aggregate
of $75o,0O0000 n year Careful obscr.
vation from detailed statistics compil-
ed on the subject shows that most Of
this loss would be prevented by the OBJ
servation Of reasonable precautions,
PARTICULARLY in the direction of hhore
tidiuess Sixty-hyc per cent Of all fires
take place in homes and cases show
that 90 per cent of ali fires are due to
carelessness, ignorance or both.
The GJ per cent occurring in homes,
it is readily shown. would never occur
il persons had taken reasonable care
in respect to tidiness. Rubbish is the
chief cause, and rubbish does not
necessarily mean the accumulation OF
paper and things of that character in
and around buildings, but the umeces-
sary accumulation of old furniture,
magazines, carpets, supplies of all
kinds in cellars and attics which ac-
cumulate dust and lie there for years.
What applies TO the home in respect
to rubbish is true to a marked degree
In many business premises. Just lit
tie thought and the expenditure of
little time along these lines generally
would greatly reduce the fire loss. The
absence of fire cXtiGgulshers in the
average home or business premises is
serious omission. Careless handling
of matches, careless use of oil, the ac-
emulation of oily rags and waste ma
terra! and a host Of small matters like
these are the causes Of a great many
fires and great deal of loss. Humber
