Fires start from a number of
easily remediable conditions. A
large number of the conditions
which cause fire are due merely Ia
the carelessness or indifference of
the owner or tenant nf the prop
erty involved, and it is said that
the largest portion pf fires are cas-
lily preventable.
Rubbish heaps are FIRE breeders.
Fires start in them and are fed 10y

old packing material, excelsior,
wooden and paper packing cases
and sweepings. A clean city or
town will have few fires Rubbish
heaps are usually found in the rear
of mere Antile buildings. in unused
attics and in Easements. Ashes
should not be deposited in wooden
boxes, against wooden fences. or
other combuslible surfaces When
burning trash or other refuse, it is
important that the burning be done
some distance from any building
and the fire should be carefully
watched until same is completely
burned,out.
The careless use Of pipes. cigars
and cigarettes causes great many
fires. A lighted cigarette thrown
through an open sidewalk grating
is supposed to have caused the
Baltimore conhagration. Smoking
in factories, mills. warehouses and
shops, sta bles. garages. etc, should
be absolutely prohibited! One OF

PAVING STARTED
MONDAY MORNING
Transformation Of Streets of City
Begun-New Machinery and
Many Men

Monday morning at o'clock, the
big new steam eXcavating machine,
brought to Richmond by Hampton &
Burke for use in paving the city
streets, was put in operation, and its
having capacity of four square
yards in as many minutes, gives the
assurance that rapid headway will be
made. Four big trucks will be busily
engaged constantly disposing of the
material removed from the the
streets.
The curb and gutter work, which
is rapidly being finished, is preced-
ing the excavation work, and the big
shovel and grader is being followed
by the concrete mixer and steam roll
er, and the thoroughfare, after hav-
ing been traversed by these operators
will be ready for tn asphalt mixing
machine, which is already here, and
will be ready to be started as soon
as the other work is gotten out of the
way. The first work, the curb and
gutter, is being closely followed by
the excavation work and the third
operation, that of the grading and
concrete, will be followed by the
making and applying of the as
phalt, which will mark the finishing
of the work. The improvement was
started at College street and will be
continued north towards Main street
This will be continued according to
the finishing of the curb and gutter
work, and Contractor Graham, who
has this in charge, said he would
cause no delay, since he would be
able with his force of men to keep
ahead Of the othe6 workers. There
was another shipment of men tc

and it is expected the force will be
further increased, since tbs the in
tention of Hampton & Burke, con

was bought especially for the Rich

here for the first time.

JOHN R, GIBSON
PASSES AWAY HERE
Prominent Son Of Madison Sue.
cunbs After Being Brought
Home for Treatment

Friends were greatly shocked
and deeply grieved early Monday
morning when it became known
that Mr.. John R. Gibson had
passed away at 7:30 Monday
morning, at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Ellen< Gibson, where
accompanied by his wife and
mother, he came from Cincinnati
Friday evening hoping that he
might derive some benefit by the
change. But all efforts failed and
the end came Monday morning.
Mr.. Gibson had been very ac-
lively engaged in the copper and
sulphur mines Of Texas for the
past few months and it thought
over-work was the cause of his
declining health. He was about
so years old, and is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Lucy Ma
coffin, of Virginia. two children,
Maria and John IT,, and his de
voted mother, Mrs. Ellen Gibson.
He has been for many years a
member of the Christian church.
Funeral arrangements had not
been made as the Daily Register
went to press and will be an
nounced later.
Deepest sympathy goes to those
who are so suddenly bereft of an
af;ectionate son. husband and ia
ther May the loving Heavenly
Father comfort and sustain them
iii their great loss.
