Cincy Firemen Warned to Obey City Speed Laws Order Issued Forbidding Fire Apparatus to Run Faster Than 15 Miles an Hour. ■ - ■ ■ — - i Cincinnati, O., Feb. 7.—Not ro long ago there were those who be moaned the passing of horse-drawn fire apparatus an the end, of glamour and romance in the art of firefighting. Their honest dismay over the advent of motorised fire engines proved to he utterly dumbfounded, but now the*red blooded citizens of Cincinnati who got a thrill out of hearing the “hook and ladder” companies thunder by at breakneck speed and with clanging gongs are face to face with a real woe. Firemen must keep within the speed limit regardless of the fart that they may be on their way to save lives and property when even a few seconds delay may spell defeat. Charles E. Tudor, director of pub lic safety, has issued an order for bidding fire apparatus to run faster than 15 miles an hour in the down town districts and 25 miles in the open sections of the city. It is a common sight now to see small boys and men who have refused to grow up rush to the corner when they hear the firebells and then turn back dis- j gusted as the fire engines roll slug gishly by. "Shucks!” they say, “they run like 1 they were coming back'.” Mrs. Lucker Dies. Mrs. Julia V. Lucker, 27. 1424 North Nineteenth street, died Tues day after a lingering illness. The body will be taken to Greeley, Neb., for burial. Mrs. Lucker is survived by her husband, parents, four broth ers and three sisters. MOTHER!

The house rested on White Plains road at the junction of Turkn hoe road. At that time it was a point of military advantage, as it command ed the bridge over the Bronx river. No Quarter Given. It was there that Capt. Samuel Crawford, a member of the contiuen tal congress, waa killed in a skirmish with the British In 1777. On one oc easlon, In the spring of 1776, the Ward House waa surrounded at night by the British. In the fighting that night no quar ter was given the rebels. Cap. Noah Bouton and all his men were killed, except Cap. Samuel IJelevan, who cs coped disguised as a British soldier. Tlie next morning after the slaugh ter, Washington's men returned with reinforcements and carried the bodies of their dead to the fr>ot of the hill and buried them in a sandpit. This sand pit has long been uncared for, hut its sacred character has been respected. A number of years ago the last grave marked disappeared. After all marks of a graveyard disappeared, business began to encroach on the ground. Ten days ago digging was begun Jpr a building and the remains of the two continentals were disinterred.
