Smoke was seen Issuing from the roof of the First National bank about I001ast : ! even ing and the attention of the policeman on that beat was called to it. Instead of turning in an alarm from the corner of Main and Broad way , ho ran to No. II hose house to got a lire- man to go over and look nt it and see if it was a lire. An alarm was immediately "keyed in , " and the department responded. It was found that the smiike was issuing from a de fective chimney , and the soot in the chimney was burning. No water was turned on , but the ii-riid ladder on the platform truck was raised for the llrst time answering an alarm. The policeman who gave the alarm said ho had orders not to pull a box unless ho was sure there was a Ihe , and for this reason ho .wanted a ilrotunn to make an examination bc- fore venturing to turn in an alarm. In this connection it may not. be out of place to slate that the instructions given the policemen how to turn in a lire alarm were rather queer. OHO of the patrolmen recently happened along when Electrician Bradley was repair ing n box , and was instructed how to call the lire department. Said he , "I'm mighty glad you showed mo how , or 1 would have made u big mistake. The instructions we got waste to turn the key in the door nnd then walk away , as it wouldn't do any good to try to get the key out , for It would bo locked in the door. They didn't say anything about pushing any button , and I didn't ' know there was such a thing. I supposed the turnIng - Ing of the key sent In the alarm just the snmo ns It docs when wo turn lit a call for the patrol wagon. " If this lias been the understanding of the other members of the force it has been very fortunate that a flro did not break out on their beats. J. C.

His story is that the woman swindled him out of § 100.000 in mine bonds , nnd when he demanded their return shot nt him , and that she is now trying to blackmail him. IIo added that ho had been her dupe long enough. The woman denies the accusation nnd claims that she was n partner of his In the mining business ; that the money she re- tnlned was her share of the profits , and that Mastcrson attempted to shoot her.

The mayor and chief of police of Lowell have refused to send ofllccrs there for duty , but twlco has the patrol wagon been called there and returned loaded. There were numberless small lights , and n man named Farrcll was unmercifully pounded and kicked. Another man named Hymako fell off an electric car tonight on the way to Lowell and had his ankle fractured. The Lowell onleers wcro stationed at the line nud arrested and handcuffed the Intoxicated pei-sons ns fast as they came over.

CuicAno , Muy -fSpodal Telegram to Tun BII : : . ] The Tonics' correspondent at Nashville , Tcnn. , ( clfgraphs : I have read the accounts of how Jho New York World had senl a veterinarian down to Nnshvlllo expressly to cxamhm nnd roporl on the con dition of El Hio Hey ; of how ho made a thorough nnd critical examination of the " " great horse , nnd ho\v"h"o found him sound and all right with the exception of some head trouble , catarrh perhaps , which can easily bo cured. 1 believe , with the single exception of the superintendent , I nm the most frequent visitor to the " track here , and If any New York "vet" has examined El Klo Hey in Nashville ho must have dona so when Major Estell was asleep , when Joe Courtney was away and when 1 was holding down a want ntcctlng in the other end of the town. I 11111 sure no ono hero will nccuso mo of being prejudiced against El Klo Hey. All know how reluctantly I have brought my pen to describe , him ns he is , or , at least , as I believe him to be. All know how I stuck to him through good and evil report until the facts came out and I became convinced of his true condition , and hence whatever I say hero concerning him I say with the keenest regret , not only from my mlmlnlMnn fm * tlm Immn Imf ulan frmn Oin respect nnd esteem In which I hold Mr. Winters , Major Estell nud Mr. Courtney. I know that they have all along been hopeful of the horse and are still hopeful , but they must prepare to face the Inevitable. If you know anybody in Chicago who thinks that El Hio Hey-will win the American derby and is willing to back his judgment , I can place his money for him at odds of J3,000 to $1,000. I nm not a veterinarian , nnd neither is the man with the $5,00 , . Now , ns the bookies sny , "Como off , boys. " El Hio Hov worked a mile here yes terday , in 1:55 : , and was given a good scrape out. Ho whistled llko n steam engine and you could hear him from any part of the track. Is ho u roarer i I don't know whether ho is or not. I nm simply stating the facts. Of ono thing I haven't the slightest doubt , and thai Is that his wind is permanently and seriously affected. Are they preparing him ! Oh , yes , they are getting him ready , and they are doing it after the most approved methods. Ho will bo mndo ns near ready as It is possi ble to make him. They may even go so far ns to start him , but whenever they uo , It will indeed bo "good-bye El Kio Roy. " The grout horse has seen his'best days on the turf. I was about to forget to give Proctor Knott a parting shot. The once great gelding left hero looking pretty good. I am not at all sat isfied with his leg. Although it gave him no trouble here , at Memphis I am a little bit afraid it was not just what it should be. I understand and appreciate. . Mr. Scoggins' hopes. He would give a kingdom to win the suburban with his horse. I wish him all suc cess possible , but go slow , old man , go slow. A TKllItlFIU JtVllKICAXJS.
