The report of the stret commltte on the Simon Brandyberry side walk was made and approved, . The letter from the state lire marshal was rend and placed upon file. This I letter will be found in another place in this paper. The improvement of the east end of ( Adams street was again brought up and after some discussion it was dropped but will be taken care of as soon as City Treasurer Archbold made bls report of the City's standing. A representative from the Pyrene Mfg. Co., manufactures of fire appratus made It remarkable demonstration ( of a fire extinguisher which his com- , Puny put out. The matter of purchasing the fire appliance for the city ' was referred to tile purchasing committee. The finance committee, through their Chairman C. N.

The six bids filed were: J. F. Seiler, Chicago. $3,697.00; L. A. Schult, Huntington, Ind., $3,745.00; Myers and Richards, Decatur, $3,636.00; W. O. Nelson, Monroe. $3,622.00; H. B. Hollman, Rochester, $4,136.00; Chas O. Thorngraff, Bedford. Ind., $3,780.00. The reason for the reletting of these bids again was on account of W. O. Newlon refusing to contract with the City the first time he made a bid. The bids were then discussed upon motion Myers and Richards were given the contract and the Water Works committee were ordered to make a contract between the two parties as soon as possible. The reservoir is to be built according to plans and specifacitions of Engineer John Gillig of this city now fib cd in the office of the Auditors office. It is to be made of reinforced concrete and lined with steel. It will be 6 feet in diameter and 14 feet deep, having a capacity of 230,000 nearly twice as large as the one they have at the city plant at present. It will be fitted with all modern improvements and will be a great protection against fires. The motion for adjournment was in order and carried. BARN DESTROYED. Sparks From Engine Set Fire to Building and Destroy It. Sparks emitted from a Clover Leal engine which was switching near the building, set fire to the barn belonging to Perry Ogg located along the Clover Ix*af railroad, east of Winchester street and completely destroyed it. Two box cars, one empty and the other half filled with lumber were also partially destroyed. The barn was an old one and the intense heat of the past week had dried the lumber so as to make it a veritable match box. The roof was a mass of flames when discovered and it took but a short time for the rest of the building to burn down. The fire department did heroic work, in saving the other property that was in danger of the blaze considering the hot sun added to that of the heat of the fire. Mr. Ogg went to the country this morning and had not yet returned therefore it is not known whether he carried any insurance or not. There was nothing of value in the barn. 4—BARBERS—4.

ATTEMPTS ESCAPES Charles Lord Made Ineffec- r tual Attempt to Crawl f Through Window ■ ll— *. 1 IN THE CITY BASTILE Confined There Pending Inquest to Inquire Into * Mental Condition. Charles Ixird, of Monmouth, confin- h cd in the county jail until an inquest if board to investigate his mental con- K dition, returns its verdict, made an B ineffectual attempt to escape this a morning. He climbed to a radiator. I kicked out the half-inch thick glass in the window and then t< crawl out through the bars, through S an aperture four by twelve inches. He ~ is thin and litho and would undoubl- I edly have made it had he stripped off K his clothing and soaked his body before doing so. He did not, however. ? and had gotten his body out as far as the hips, when the men, one on the r outside and another in an adjoining U room, who lias been stationed there- / to watch him, gave the alarm. He \ was taken out and placed in another ( cell, where there is no opportunity to i escape. The result of the inquest Si has not yet been filed and probably rj will not be until Saturday. Lord is _ thirty-six, unmarried, and a veteran of—- — the Spanish American war. He pass- | ed a restless morning and night, and j seemed to be experiencing ohe of his I bad spells. o- .
