Chief Evans' Fire Report Fairly
Bristles "With Suggestions.
JL LARGE GROWTH OF INSURANCE
Is Noted, and He Asks That ren Better
Safeguards le Applied.
XEW BUILDINGS AND NEW POSITIONS
Superintendent Evans, of the Pitttburg
Bureau of Fire, this morning submitted his
annual report, the twelfth since his appoint,
ment to the head of the fire department
Following are the material points:
Daring the year 740 fire alarms were
answered; loss reported by the Fire Marshal
up to December 1, and estimated since,
5486,753 86: insurance paid, 400,196 30; net
loss, $86,557 56.
The largest number of alarms in the his
tory of the department in any month was in
Jauuarr, 1888, 106; next highest number,
December, 1886. 97 alarms. The largest
fires were January 26, Dalzell & Co.'s oil
-warehouse. First avenue, loss, $19,638; Jan
nary 29, TJrling & Son, Heeren & Co. and
"William Haslage & Son, Fifth avenue and
Market square, $200,000; March 13, Baxter
& Benton and Smith & Son, 619 Liberty
street. $20,000; May 11, Mundorfs planing
mill, South Twenty-third and Mary streets,
J25.000; September 16, A. Beineman, A. G.
Duncan & Co., Bovard, Bose & Co., 37 and
39 Fifth avenue, $21,065; December 13,
Standard Cooper Works, Butler street,
$0,000.
Some $250,000 over half the entire loss
was during January. Notwithstanding the
Fourth of July and its fire works the gross
loss was but $2,550. November was so wet
that its loss was but $1,000.
Going back over a period of 18 years, to
1869, the gross fire loss has been $6,274,326;
insurance paid, $4,605,088; net loss, $1,669,
637. The years the insurance companies
suffered most were 1870, gros loss, $751,4b5,
insurance paid, $320,955; 1888, gross loss,
$667,405, insurance paid, $411,029; 1837,
gross loss, $818,939, insurance paid, $708,
589. A FEATUEE OF ETTEBEST
in this connection is the showing of the
growth of insurance. In 1870, the net or
uninsured loss was $430,910; in 1886 it had
fallen to $196,376 and in 1887 to $110,350,
though these were the banner years for the
'fire fiend," while last year the net loss is
only $86,507 56. As the fire insurance com
panies are working as hard as ever tor risks
they would seem to be still thriving. It is
evident that the railway property destroyed
by the riot fires of 1877 is not taken into
computation for that year. The county
was the principal insurer on that occasion.
The aerage gross loss for the past 19 years
is $330,227 per j ear; the average insurance
paid, ?1M2,3i.j per year, and the average net
loss, $87,875 per year. The Chief says this
is considered to be a very good showing.
A long list of recommendations, sugges
tions, expenditures, etc, are submitted and
urged, the most material of which are the
following: The substantial rebuilding of
Xo. 1 engine house; general repairs to No.
6; entire rearrangement of No. 8, in fact
building a new one, as well as a house for
the hook and ladder tracks; repainting Nos.
5, 7, 9, 13 and 16 engine houses; purchase of
a chemical engine for 2so. 16, water being
scarce in that part of the Twenty
second ward; purchnse of 15,000 feet of
3-inch hose; asks for two new hook and lad
der trucks, one long enongh to reach to the
top of the new high buildings downtown.
The present one, he says, weighs 1,100
pounds, and is so long coupled that it has
worn out ten different teams, and they are
now compelled to use four horses. The Chief
says the ladder at No. 14 engine house, on
Neville street, is unsafe after its 20 years'
service. He asks that the erection of stand
pipes in connection with all high buildings,
with branch openings at each story '
FOE HOSE ATTACHMENTS,
be made compulsory, as advantageous not
only to firemen but to property owners. He
says they need three new hose carriages to
replace norn-out ones.
The Chief renews his recommendation for
the purchase of a fire boat to cruise about
the river fronts; also recommends the erec
tion of a building and location of a com
pany in the Minersville district, Thirteenth
ward, and the location of a company in
Allentown; recommends the creation ot two
new positions, mechanical engineer and mas
ter carpenter, stating that the bureau has now
sufficient employment tor tbem. He also
recommends the establishment of a general
workshop, combined with a hospital for the
treatment of department horses, and suggests
that the city owns a block of ground at the
corner of Liberty and Twenty-ninth streets
suitable for the purpose. He recommends
the purchase of four additional buggies for
the Superintendent and his assistants, the
old ones having become frail. In conclu
sion he says:
I would recommend that tbe necessary legis
lation be secured to empow er tbis bureau to
employ a woman to care for. scrub, clean and
make beds, for each engine house. There is
work enongh in each engine house to keep a
woman constantly employed.
I would recommend that tbe bose company
on Jit. Washington, Tliirty-second ward, be
turned Jnto an engine company, as the pressure
of water in that locality is vry light and an
engine would be a great assistance. The pres
ent building is old and shonld be rebuilt to suit
a full engine company.
OUR NAVY AT "WOKE.
marines of the Os.ipee Bravely Qaell nn
Incipient Hlot.
Washington, February L Commander
Kellogg, of the Ossipee, writing at Port-au-Prince,
has sent the lollowing report to the
Secretary of the Navy:
Sib- I have the honor to submit the follow
ing report ot a disturbance which occurred yes
terday at tbe coal wharf at which this vessel
w?s engaged in filling np with coal. Upon ar
riving at the wharf I was requested by the
Incompliance with ins request
two marines were stationed near tbe snore
end of tbe wharf. Ono of our leading pettv
officers, who was tallying the coal.remonstrated
with one of the coal carriers regarding his bas
ket being undT weight The coal carrier re
plied by hitting the officer in the eye with a
piece of coal, and the petty officer knocked
him down.
This was followed by a mob of at least 200
men making a rush upon the petty officer and
the marines stationed upon the wharf. They
alo threw coal at tbe officer of the deck when
be appeared on the wharf. The officer of the
deck turned out tbe marine guard, who formed
across the wharf and kept the crowd back, but
did not advance beyond it
While tbis officer evidently violated the law
and has been reprimanded, in my opinion be
exercised sound discretion and prevented a
riot. I visited the Inspector of Police and he
was apparently satisfied with my explanation
of the affair. I afterward explained tbe matter
to the Governor, who exhibited no displeasure,
and immediately afterward extended to me an
invitation to dinner.
The Ossipee has been ordered to cruise in
the West Indies.
THE COMMISSIONERS' OPINION.
Cooley and Morrison Hope lor the
Best
From the Railroad Agreement.
Chicago, February 1. Judge Cooley
and Colonel Morrison, of the Inter-State
Commerce Commission, were in Chicago
again to-day on their return from St. Paul.
In regard to the Presidents' agreement the
commissioners said it was a good one if car
ried out. It was easy enough to make
promises; the important question was
-whether these promises woula be fulfilled
or not. They were hopeful that from this
time forward there would be a stronger
effort on the part of the railroads to comply
with the law.
While agreeing that the selection of
their colleague, Commissioner Walker, to
act as chairman of the proposed association
was a commendable one, they would not
venture an opinion as to whether Mr.
Walker wonld accept the position or not.

rErXCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCD.l
New York, February 1. Samuel Bar
ton, recently elected a director of the New
York, Ontario and Western Eailway, and
known by Wall street folks as the confiden
tial broker of the Yanderbilts for three gen
erations, in talking with a reporter to-day,
sad:
I regard the elimination of the BouthJPenn as
a disturbing element among the trunk lines, as
the most Important event which has occurred
In the railway world since the absorption of tbe
NicLel Plate and West Shore lines by the Lake
Shore and New York Central systems. Indeed
it is practically the completion of the deal by
which the West Snore passed under the control
ot the New York Central, but It has been post
poned until now by litigation and other causes,
which have onlv recently ceased to operate.
Its effect upon the values of the. stock of all
railways between New York and Chicago
should be marked, and immediately. For pur
poses of speculation I believe the low-priced
stocks are the thines to buy. Take, lor in
stance. New York, Chicago and St Louis com
mon (NicVel Plate), Lake Erie and Western
common, New York, Ontario and Western and
Chicajjo. St. Louis and Pittsburg. These lines
will all derivo immense benefit from the in
creased through rates which will Inevitably re
sult from the present harmonious relations be
tween the trunk lines.
The collapse of tbe South Penn scheme may
be retarded by investors as an assurance tbat
tbe day of paralleling existing lines is passed.
The present generation will not witness any
more of these piratical enterprises. Meanwhile
the growth of tbe country and the increased
volume of traffic will surely redound to tbe
advantage of existing lines, and the low-priced
stock of those companies (all of which have
gone throneh the process of reorganization)
cannot fail to advance largely within the next
two or three years. When speculation revives,
as it surely will sooner Or later, these low
priced stocks will become prime favorites with
persons of limited means who desire to make
speculative investments. One per cent advance
on 100 Chicago, St. Louis and Pittsburg, costing
$1,500, Is Inst as much as 1 per cent advance on
100 New York Central, costing J10.000, and the
possibilities of loss are correspondingly
lessened. I believe money invested in these
low-priced stocks will more than double Itself
within the next two years.

SrElNOFlELD, O., February 1. The
molders who struck yesterday at the Spring
field Manufacturing Company, went to the
office to-dav in a body and demanded the
pay due. This was refused until pay day,
next Monday, when the men became boister
ous and hurled pieces of iron at the molders
who had taken their places. They were
driven from the shop, and waited on the
outside till noon, when one of the new
men was set upon by strikers and beaten.
Before the police could arrive the crowd
had dispersed.
Warrants were sworn out for John Hoo
ley, James Powers and John Thomps, lead
ers, of assault, but they have skipped. The
firm has demanded police protection, and
officers are now guarding the property, fear
ing lnrther trouble. But two of the strikers
belong to the union, and the strike is not a
union affair. It is caused solely by prices.

lation since 1873. The majority against
local option was in that year equal to fully
one-third of Elk county's entire vote, so
that it will be seen how hard it would be to
overcome it even now. The county is Dem
ocratic. St Mary's borough was settled and is still
inhabited by Germans. They held thebalance
of power in this campaign. Although they
are Catholics, they entertain liberal views
on the liquor question, and gave nearly their
total vote against local option. Of the voters
among them only SO are Republicans and
300 are Democrats. Benzinger township is
another German community, which gave
Cleveland 302 votes in 1884 and Blaine onlyfl
79. Bidgeway, the county seat, will prob
ably vote for the amenJment. It is there
where Hon. John G. Hall, one of tha ablest
lawyers in the State, lives. He is the
Democratic leader in the lumber region,
and a few years ago, when both he and Hon.
Wm. A. Wallace, of Clearfield, were In the
Pennsylvania Senate together, they were
conceded by even Republicans to be the two
most profound Senators in Harrisbnrg.
FOBESTTO BEIEIEVE.
In 1873 Forest county defeated local op
tion by just 59 votes. At Tionesta. her
county seat, I was told Dy several prominent
persons tbat she would not only put that
many on the side of Constitutional amend
ment this campaign, but that she would
swell It to a majority of nearly 275. At the
time local option was voted on, much of the
earlier oil excitement surrounded Forest on
her western border. But the refining influ
ences at work in that business since then,
referred to in some of my previous div
patches, have changed the complexion of
that class of voters considerably.
Quite an increase of population has also
been enjoyed by Forest county, and much
of this, flowing in from Venango and
Warren counties, has brought with it ten
dencies toward temperance reform. The
Brooks high license law has had more or
less effect, too, in educating the people to
still higher restraints on the liquor traffic.
The countv is Republican in its politics.
Tionesta and Kingsley being the most pop
ulous centers. The lumbermen are ot the
best type, tbe region not being so remote
and mountainous as Elk county.
CAMEBOif IS SUBE.
There is good organization throughout!
Cameron county tor temperance legislation.
It has been pushed principally by the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
They expect a rousing majority to be given
for the amendment. Cameron adopted local
option laws by 233 majority, so, even then,
with deeper forests, rougher woodsmen and
fewer educational facilities, she was over
whelmingly temperance in sentiment Both
Democrats and Republicans are for the
issue, and here in Driltwood it is the prin
cipal topic of conversation. There have been
licenses for the sale of liquor, but they were
principally confined to hotels.
Republican in persuasion, the amendment
will not only secure majorities in nearly all
the agricultural townships, but the towns
of Emporium, Shipper, and the township of
Gibson will regard it favorably at the polls
in June. Lumbermen buy nearly all their
provisions and supplies at the places men
tioned, so they are surrounded by good in
fluences. rOTTEP. IS ALL BIGHT.
Potter county has got what neither of
those counties mentioned above have a
comparatively strong third party element
The vote tor at John and jnsK was insig
nificant in both Forest, Elk and Cameron,
bnt in Potter it increased from 102 in 1884
to nearly 200 in 1888. In addition to this
Potter has always enjoyed immunity from
whisky shops, having had local prohibitory
laws ot her own. For this reason she did
not vote on local option in 1873. The tem
perance sentiment so well inculcated
among the residents of the county, now
makes the coming campaign one-sided with
in her borders. Potter is a Republican
stronghold. Although lying along the
State line the bringing of liquor across from
New York has always been carefully
guarded, and with reasonable success.
By the time the campaign for and against
prohibition is fairly opened, it will be found
that from the Republican pineries of the
Allegheny, and the Democratic hickories of
the Sinnemahoning, will flutter yards and
yards of blue ribbon. L. E. Stofiel.
