There was a good attendance notwithstanding the driving storm. Tlicso meetings of the old time Ilro lighters are not as a rule luridly interesting , but they may always ba depended upon for being smoky , and frequently a trillo amusing. Every one of the old boys who attend them love to make motions and offer amendments to a motion after it has boon passed. Then , too , they have more motions than i anybody , and the way in which they sometimes got their motions tind notions mixed up makes more fun und excitement within their bald headed and silvery fringed circle than tlio burning of a four-story build ing used to afford them. Judtnow this collection of souvenir cinders who served their day and gencr.it ion so bravely and well is wrestling with the ques tion of uniforms. The tussle has boon in pro- grc.-s lor several meetings , mid the sport which the old chaps have been having Iras reminded them of their bucket brigade experiences on cold winter nights away luck in the 'OOs when Herman Kbimtze used to donate an ounce of gold dust every now mid then to keep the bnckots patched up.

Chief Galilean inoroasod his popu larity with nil the brethren present and all the workingmen absent by getting through a motion that the coat , tnnvscrs anil cap con tract be let with thepcovisn that all the mak ing of these suits be done bv Oinuhu hands. There are sixty-live mouthers of the- associ ation and llfty-ono of them have signed for the now .suits , and the rest will do .so beyond all doubt as soon as they got the opportunity. Half of the out of each entire suit Is to l'o l' paid by the association amlrtlie other half by the members. The association now has over $1,000 , in its treasury , and after the members got their now duds they propose to knock the city silly with a grand nnd dazzling paradeanil a dance all night to broad duvlif > , ht-and a ride home on the old machine In tlio morning. Lust night's love foist wound up by Lewis Reed anil Henry Hornbergcr being voted members of the association , and it being voted that the next meeting be held on next Tnoa- iluy night.

The examination was postponed to April 1(1 ( and Munn wits placed under a bond of $100. A little later the police succeeded in finding and arresting Mrs. Knowles. She is a matronly up | > onrlng woman and not specially attractive as to looks. She were a dark dross vlth a violet velvet front nnd had a jiumtv hat upon her head. Her talk indi nit os a certain degree of culture When brought into the court room she in ilulgod In .spasms of both laughter und tears. and evinced a great yearning to bo near her jMnunonr. Upon seeing her enter the room in the role of a prisoner M-itni went up to her and remarked with a sort of Don Juan sanu' froid : "Dora , litt'.o ' girl , I'm sorry I got you into such a scrape ! " Then the Dora dashed forty-year-old a dinuy tear from off her wrinkled cheek and replied : "Oh , that's all right , dear boy !
