The county board continued its session th
yesterday. The petition of George F. so
Wright , W. 0. James nnd others , asking - ly
ing for the Second street bridge in this of
city to bo repaired , was referred to ofCi
Supervisor A. 0. Graham , with power to Cidi
act. A number of road matters were diP'
P'
considered. A largo delegation of Norwalk - fo
walk citizens were present to present irbi
their views on the Everett road. The bibi
bi
board will probably bo in session most of biol
the week. olnl
Tickets are soiling well for the dance tcL :
tcw
to bo given by the police force in Masonic-
w
hall on the evening of the 20th. Every bi
i
business man should encourage the force I1'
by buying at least ono ticket. The hiKf
M polic3 got small enough pay , and plenty Kf si
of abase , and they will naturally do siw
their work with better spirit if they are re
made to fool that the citizens are in tti
sympathy with them. Besides , the in
at
dance- itself promises to bo nn enjoyable tl
ono. tl"I
"Iai
This afternoon the ai
coanty board is to
take a trip down the creek to sco about tjiTi
opening up the channel to the river. Tim
The city is expending a great deal of of
money in improvement ! ) , and will need lo
to spend a great , deal moro before there
is a good system of drainage and sewerage -
ago established. An outlet is needed ,
and it scorns that the county should boar
the burden of opening the creek to the
river , as the work needed is outside the
city limits , nnd as much of the trouble
io from drainage of territory outside tlo
limits , the city having to take care of all
this water. It would also prevent over
flows of lands in the country. The
board is to look over it matter , and
will doubtless do the equaroly nnd fairly
by the city.
Those who lave ( a sweet tooth will now
find ono of the most tempting displays of
candies over seen in this city , by drop
ping into 0. H. Towsloe'a ' confectionery
and fruit house , No. 12 Main street.
That establishment is oven outdoing it
self now , there being over 150 varieties
of choice candles , fresh and pure , cara
mels , creams , tallies , etc. , are being re
ceived right along sons to always bo fresh ,
and the increase in quality and quantity
of stock ia such aa to cause much talk
among the lovers of the awoet. II. A ,
Baird , the presiding gunlua of the estab
lishment , is also giving the young lady
customers really ombotaod picture cards ,
white the gents can always find nt the
cigar cases ono of the largest and boat
stocks over kept nt retail in this city , and
a nickel cigar that cannot bo boat ,
Ordcra by telephone for flour , feed ,
wood , coal , and hay , will bn promptly

A FIRE FIEND ,
Me Mnl < cs nn Attempt to Stnrl n Uln/o
In n HlnoiCMiilth Shop.
About 1:30 : o'clock yralordny morning
M Davy Mollnz , the special watchman nt
Uobbington'a lumber ynrd was standing
at llio corner of Worth nnd Main street * ,
ho sw n light Hire up in the rrar of 0.
A. Smuthor's blacksmith shop , No. 710
Alain street , nnd saw the ohndow of n mnn.
Knowing that something wns wrong , ho
pulled his revolver and atnrtcd , but before
ho rcnchcd the spot the in in had run
down the nllny and disappeared , ilo
found that n pnno of glass had boon
broken in n window of the paint
room , in the roar of the shop ,
and through thin had boon
thrown n bundle of rags saturated with
oil , nnd sot nblezi } . The incipient lira
was put out before nny serious dnmago
resulted , but had it not boon thus dis
covered it would in n few minutes hnvo
spread greatly , it being surrounded by
inllammablo material ,
About two hours before this Mottnz
noticed n man hanging about the Chicago
Lumber company's yard , nnd going over
to him the watchman nccostod him , The
fellow did not seem to know what ho
was doing or what ho wanted , but onld
ho had lost n good deal of money at
Lucy's , and that ho worked for J. P.
Filbert. Mottnz made the follow move
on , nnd ho disappeared. It was afterwards -
wards learned that no such fellow is in
Mr. Filbert's employ. Whether the
follow hanging about the lumber ynrd
Vila the snmo aa was scon at the black-
mith shop Is not known , but Motta/
thinks they were not the samo.
About 1 o'clock yesterday morning ho
sopms to have made n like attempt at
Kiel's hotel. Mr. Ilonry Spotman , ono
of the proprietors of the hotel , was on
duty nnd hearing n noise proceeded to
investigate nnd found thnt Taylor , who
had elippnd into the house , wns dragging
a trunk down the bak stairs. The oil
trunk belonged to n traveling man who
had left it standing in tha hallway for n .
few days until ho should return. Taylor
on Spotman lighting a match tb sea vrhat
wns going on , forsook the trunk and :
made n break to oscapo. Instead of
turning to the right nnd going through .
the door loading into the alloy , ho turned
to the loft and found himself in the room
occupied by the help , but discovering the
mistake ho hurried back nnd front out frcGi
the other door. Mr. Spotmnn , who was Gi
in his stocking foot , gave him a chase ,
however , and caught him at the corner
of Bancroft street and Fifth avenue , and
turned him over to the police. til

The name of L. G. Taylor Is getting to n
bi a very familiar ono in connection with att
llio police records. Do has boon arrested Ti
lovoral times of late , and has boon retying
ying in jail for some nooks on a charge *
f larceny. Tuesday ho was roleasad ,
bounty Attorney Mynstor moving to
lismisa the charge ogainst him , the
prosecuting witness not appearing be
fore Justice Abbott , who had the hear Cc
ing of the case. That very night , after pa
being released , ho was brought
back to jail on a charge
ol burglary. It seems that
about 11 o'clock at night ho attempted
o plunder the bakery of Smith &
Loerko , on Main street. Mr. Loerko
nras in the basement looking after numo
jaklng , and Mr. Smith had just locked
ip ' the caah , about $30 , in the desk , nnd
md gene homo. Taylor seems to have
gained an entrance into the store from a
lido-door , loading from a hallway , by
which Mr. Lporko's family went to their
rooms up-stairs. Mr. Loorko hearing a
uoieo started up-stairs , and Taylor think
ing that nome ono was coming down
stiiira , hold the hall door , and was in
this position when Mr. Loerko came
upon him from the roar , grabbed him , tto
ind after a brief but emphatic sort of a
talk , kicked him out into the street.

OQ
To the Editor of TIIK BKK : or
There is some excitement in business bu
circles about lire insurance rates , and my
olllclul action ns manager of the Council an
Hlulls underwriters' union has been 80- BiOt
and I think Ot
voroly unjustly criticised.
The protest published in TUB UKB of roTc '
yesterday oven goes so far as to demand
my removal. Is it possible that in this
enlightened , highly cultured community
many of the most prominent , resjiccted "
nnd honored citizens have been over- ca
persuaded to protest against my action nt
without nn examination of the matter ? | [
Such appears to bo the fact , and a ver
dict of guilty lias boon pronounced
without trial or evidence. I appeal to
the honest manhood of those business
men who signed the protsot , and to every
good citizen , and ask is this fair , just I
treatment at your hands ? Much has
been said nbout cutwater works , fire department -
partmont and paved streets. I have no
criticism to make of those grand improve \
ments , nnd think the entire population of
this beautiful city should bo proud of
them , but allow mo to any that the most
perfect system of water works , the most
thoroughly equipped nnd olliciont fire
department , nnd the best paved streets ,
will not prevent fires. I will cite ChU
: ago and Boatou fires in proof of this
I could produce testimony to show that '
n majority of our largest fires occur in
cities where every device nnd ingenuity
of mnn has interposed to prevent them ,
Fires will take place , und at times it is
admitted , become almost uucontrolnblo ,
Much has been said about certain 3I
promises to reduce rates after the wutiir Ills
works were completed and streets paved.
In reply to this have to suy thnt 1 know n
nothing about uuoh promises , and consequently
quently have not violated any.
I was sent hero as an entirely disinter
ested party to represent the companies
doing business hero as their local mana
ger , and among other duties I was imper
atively instructed to re-rata the place.
That duly I have performed faithfully ,
fairly , honestly , and with justice to nil ,
and without fear or favoritism , The
rates I have made ore very reasonable ,
and lower than any other prominent city
in the utiitc. My statement for this need
nut bo taken , but parties in interest can
verify it by investigation.
The experience of underwriters has nn
proven thnt the only just und equitable
manner of making rales is upon thu
schedule plan , which 1 Imvo adopif d , and
II thu practice in other cities of this state
6U.I oleewhcro. A bin * rateis made fo
all classes ef buildings , nnd specific'
charges nro mndo for exposures , deficien
cy in thickness of nido walls , height of
parapet walls ; charges nro also made for
shingle , composition and mansard roofs ,
additional otorics above throe , wooden
cornices , skylights , elevators , stpvo pipes
not properly protected , defective Hues ,
licatinu apparatus , cracked walls , and
other items. The various kind of occu
pancies are taken Into consideration ,
some ndd to rate on both building nnd
contents , while others do not ndd to
either.
The basis J have fixed hero is 7f > cents
for a firstr-class fire-proof single building ,
thrco stories high , which is the minimum
basis rate in the state. At DCS Moines
it is 85 cents , nnd at other places In the
stnto it Is ns high ns $1. The now tariff
Is not n Rcnprnl advance ns alleged , but Is
nn equalization of rates. Some nro high
er than old rates , others unchnnpod , and
mnny reduced. I think I can safely any
the reduction will cover half a million
dollars worth of property.
The rates on flour mills nro beyond my
control , and it is possible nn additional
advance may bo required.
In conclusion , 1 only ask justice in
passing upon my official acts , that I have
a right to demand. IHsmy dpsiro to re
main hero as n permanent citizen , and
whatever may bo my vocation , I intend to
do my duty. ALIIKUT M. WKIH ,
