FIREMEN FROM CAPITAL
RUSHED TO MOUNT RAINIER
Towns Volunteer Department I'm
able to Cope With Flames De-
stroying Home Of Mrs. Marsh.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
MOUNT RAINIER, Md, August 90
Mount Rainier's volunteer fire depart
ment last night about 9 o'clock re-
sponded to an alarm of fire in the resi-
dence of Mrs. Margaret Marsh, 3oth
street between Cedar and Grape streets.
The volunteers were unable to cope
with the flames, however, their chemi-
cal engine not having the capacity to
fight fire of such proportions.
The fire gained considerable Roadway
before the arrival of the towns fire
fighters, and as precautionary meas
ure a call was sent to Washington for
assistance. No. "a engine company made
quick response and assisted in the
work of preventing the fire from
spreading to other buildings.
Residents of the town formed a sal
wage corps and the bringing OF cook
on the part of bystanders, who were
unable to render assistance. Those who
were afraid to venture inside the burn
ing structure assisted in the work of
saving doors and windows.
The house. e. two-story frame struc-
ture. was destroyed. Members of the
volunteer company saved nearby
residence from destruction by the free
use of chemicals. Mrs. Joseph Vance,
daughter of Mrs. Marsh. and her hus-
band lost about $1,000 worth of theatre
cal paraphernalia.
Nothing was found to suggest the
origin of the fire, which caused loss
of nearly $4,000.

Founders of the Jonadabs.

To the Editor Of The Star:
There appeared in the issue Of The Star
Of the 25th instant a letter purporting
to give the facts connected with the or
ganizatfon Of the Sons Of Jonadab, par
ticularly the personnel of the founders.
Not for the purpose Of entering into an
argument, but rather that justice may be
done the memory Of the founders of the
order which has accomplished so much
for this and other communities in the
redemption Of men from the curse Of in
temperance, 1t has been deemed advisable
by the sovereign officers Of the Sons
Of Jonadab to correct this erroneous
statement.
In the minutes (now before mel Of the
first meeting. held at the residence of
Asbury Lloyd, 389 e street northwest, on
September 10. 1867. recorded in the hand
writing Of the late James Croggon. tho
following gentlemen are noted as being
present: Samuel c. Mills. E. c. Eckloff.
James ]. Campbell Asbury Lloyd, w. P.
Laselle and James Croggon. The fol-
lowing excerpt from this original record
is self-explanatory: Samuel C. Mills was
called to the chair and James Croggon
was appointed secretary. and after the
object had been stated by the chairman
Mr.. Ecklof moved that those present re-
solve themselves into a permanent or
ganization. under the name Of the Sons Of
Jonadab, and a committee be appointed to
revise any work that may be submitted
to frame a constitution, which was agreed
to. Mr.. Ecklon moved that those present,
before proceeding further. take pledge.
which was carried, and those present took
the following pledge"
The pledge Is recorded and subscribed
to by the six gentlemen noted as being
present and forms part Of the original
minutes above referred to and is the most
cherished of all In the archives Of the
order. This pledge has never been
changed and has been subscribed to by
each and every one of the thousands Of
men IN all walks of life who have since
become members Of the order.
Thus was the Sons Of Jonadab order
founded. The names of the gentlemen
referred to as founders Of the order in
the article published in the issue Of the
25th l find in the records OF subse-
quent meetings as having been elected
as members and obligated and were
officers elected at the same meeting at
which draft OF the ritual was adopted
consequently they may have been char
ter members Of the first council. but not
founders.

Mai. Pullman Orders Curb on Joy
Riders in Early Morning Hours.

Because joy riders have taken adj
vantage Of the absence of bicycle po-
licemen on Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween Peace monument and 18th street
between midnight and daybreak. Maj.
Pullman several days ago directed
Capts Peck and Harrison to have that
thoroughfare carefully guarded during
such hours.
Maj. Pullman said he had received
complaints that persons under the In
fuence of liquor on their way home
ward during the early hours of the
morning had engaged in recklessness.
Such persons, he said. seem to have an
utter disregard for the lives of them
selves and others. and when an auto
mobilist is in such condition that he is
unable to properly handle his car he
deserves punishment
A number of arrests have been made
by the police of the two precincts. the
superintendent stated, and in several
instances the licenses were revoked.
1t is the intention of the police chief to
put stop to the dangerous practice.

Something New.

The man who writes. the long
year through, hears readers say,
Write something new! The
thoughts you spring, from day to
day, are bearded things, all worn
and gray" But there is nothing
new on earth there is no thought
of modern birth; there is no plot
or song or tale that Noah didn't
say was stale. I've read James
Boswell's book again; in it Sam
Johnson, best of men, expressed
his views on every theme of
which the mortal mind may
dream. And like an oracle he
spoke, and l delight to watch his
smoke, but never did he make
remark that wasn't known in
Noah's ark. But his remarks,
though sere and gray, were
spoken in the Johnson way, and,
though he's been a long time
dead, we cherish still the things
he said. Since every thought on
earth is old, and baggy-kneed and
blue with mold, it profits not for
me and you to strain a. saying
something new. Well take old
thoughts we find astray, and doll
them up as best we may.
