LOCAL FIRE LOSS SMALL THIS YEAR

Only One Big Blaze in Past ' Eleven Months Police Had a Bus Year. Three thousand dollars will cover the fire damage In Richmond, daring the year ot 1910. according to Fire Chief Miller. This estimate la made with the expectation ot no more large fires before the firat of January. The "only fire In 1910 of any magnitude 'waa tlN blase that burned the roof from the rear ot the Balllnger Printing company, on South Seventh street, during July. Up to date there have been 126 alarma, making the average loss for each fire approximately only $25, far undor that of any previous year during the last decade. Richmond baa been peculiarly fortunate In regard to fires during the last few yeara. In 1909 the fire loas waa about $50,000. Tbe heavy loas was at the P. A N. Lawn Mower plant'e fire, where about $45,000 damage waa done. There were no other . large flrea during 1909. The only other large fire of recent yeara waa the Colonial blase which did more than $75,000 damage. Chief K. Miller, In speaking of the danger of Christmas tree flrea, said the probability of flrea from this source Is becoming less and less dangeroua each year, because so many people are using small electric lights to replace the candles on Christmas trees. Report of the Police. The police have had a busy year and by the end of the month the arrests at the present rate will total 750. The number ot drunks arresed so far aurpasses that of any other violations, being about 350. There were 91 arrests fcr assault and battery. The larceny arreata will total nearly 50. Two murderers were arrested and both sent to the penitentiary. Both . arrests wero made In April. Charles Rcvaleo was apprehended and confessed, to Chief ot Police Qormon, the
