HAAAAA AAWAAA DEAD
The Most Widely Known Fireman In-
America 11... Passed Away.
HIS REMARKA-DLE CAREER.
Abandoned by His Parents While an In- -
Iant, He “’11:; Reared by a Charitable
Woman and Became Chief of New
York’s Fire Department.
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—Harry Howard,
the last chief of the old volunteer fire de-
partment and the best known fireman in
the United States, died at his home, 74
Elm street, today.
Only 20 minutes before his death Mr. -
Howard told his nurse he felt much
stronger and Was confident he would re-
cover.
A few days ago Mr. Howard was strick-
en with a severe cold. He paid but little
attention to it until chills and fever, ac-
companied by indigestion, set in. Then
he took to his bed.
A committee of volunteers called to see
him frequently and urged him to go to a
hospital, but he refused to do so.
Finally he allowad Dr. James O’ Sulli-
van to attend him, but ,nothing could be
done beyond making his last hours com-
fortable. It is announced that the funeral
will be held next Sunday.
Everybody who has ever heard of the old
New York volunteer fire department
knows something about Harry Howard.
He was one of the unique characters in
the history of the city.
He was born in Manhattanville .Aug.
:30, 1822, and, according to the story of his
life, told by Howard himself, he was aban-
doned by his parents soon afteitliis birth.
He Was left with a Mrs. Howard, who
received $30 for her trouble and was told
that the baby would be called for the fol-
lowing spring.‘ Seventy-three springs have
pasSed, but Harry was never called for.
In an interview published a few years
ago Mr. Howard gave a history Of his ex-
periences since he was old enough to re-
. member anything.
He says that the only school he ever at-
tended was the Sunday schools at St.
Luke’s church, at Hudson and Grove
streets, and the Olivet Baptist church, at
Henry and Oliver streets.
Harry was apprenticed to a cabinet
maker and served 11 years at the trade.
His Career as 3 Fireman.
He was disgusted with the trade and
gave his tools away the day he completed
his apprenticeship.
He joined the volunteer fire department
April 11, 1840. For the five years previous
he had “run with the machine," but was
not old enough to become a “certificate”
member.
His was the Peterson Engine company,
No. 15, with headquarters in Chrystie
street, between Bayard and. Canal streets.
Howard was made a foreman in 1850,
and the same year- was promoted to be
assistant engineer.
In 1857 he was elected thief of the de-
partment, and one of his first acts was to
have bunks built in the engine houses and
order some of the members of the depart-
He
was severely criticised for this, but the
system has obtained in the department
ever since.
Those were the days when the “boys”
dragged the machine through the streets
and would often run five miles to a fire.
Harry Howard’s experiences while a
member of the department would fill vol-
umes. He was known as the bravest
worker at a fire the city has ever seen.
He resigned from the department Feb.
17, 1860, because of physical disability.
He was stricken with paralysis while run-
ning to a fire. He never fully recovered
the use of his hands or the left side. ‘
Physicians said that his paralysis was
brought on by overexertion in the line or‘
his duty.
Of late years Harry Howard. lived quiet—
ly in his house, in the Sixth ward.
He was elected to the assembly in 1853
and was twice an alderman, in 1844 5.
He was receix er of taxes in 1856.
He had been lately an inspector of vaults
in the department of public works at $150
a month.
For several years Howard had haunted
the council chamber, in city hall, in an
effort to have the name of Bayard street
changed to Harry Howard street. He was
unsuccessful, however and his failure
caused him much grief.

THE LEGISLATURE AT ALBANY.
Betallatary Insurance Bill Passes the Sen-
ate—General Appropriations.
ALBANY, Feb. .7—The retaliatory insur-
ance bill passed the senate today without
debate by a vote of 34 to 12.
Senator Lexow, chairman of the sub-
committee on the greater New York ques-
tion, said today that he expected the re-
port of the subcommittee would be ready
to present to the full committee on Tues-
day' next for adoption.
Chairman 0‘ Grady of the ways and
means committee in the assemblytoday
handed in the general appropriation bill.
This is the earliest that the appropriation
bill was ever handed in. Its total is about
$10,000,000, within a few dollars of that
of last year. Mr. O’Grady called attention
to the fact that, had it not been for new
and extraordinary expenses, there would
have been a reduction of $250,000 from
last year. The committee, however, had
to provide for $100,000 to pay the new
judges of the supreme court, $15,0001n-
crease for the appellate division and $33,-
000 for the fish, game and forest commis-
sion because of the neglect of the last leg-
islature to provide them with funds. The
decreases from last year are as follows:
Compulsory education, $2,000; printing,
$25,000; Rome Custodial asylum, $25,000;
Hudson house of refuge, $50,000; common
schools, $25,000; insurance department,
$4,000; repayment of money for erroneous
assessments, $10,000.
Increases other than for the judiciary
are $5,800 for state historian and $5,000
for state land su- vey. '
Mr. Andrews (Rep, N. Y.) introduced
a bill providing a heavy penalty for de«
ceptive- marking of silverware, aimed es-
pecially at the marking of articles as
“sterling" and so many degrees fine that
are of a spurious nature. The bill im
poses a penalty of $250 on conviction upon
any manufacturer using deceptive marks.
The assembly passed the resolution in-
structing the attorney general to investi-
gate the alleged combine of coal men to
raise the price of coal.
In the senate Senator Wray offered a
resolution for the appointment of a com-
mittee of the senate to investigate the al-
leged trust. It was laid on the table. to-
gether with the assembly resolution for
pi'inting.
Bills calling for appropriations for sun-
dry local purposes continue to be intro-
duced-almost daily. The total amount
called for in measures of this nature to
date reaches nearly $4,000,000. Local bills
reported favorably today by the assembly
ways and means committee appropriate
$160,000.
CREE INDIANS MUST GO.
Their Removal Demanded by Governor
Rickards of itIontana.
HELENA, Mon., Feb. 7. — Governor
Rickards has demanded of Secretary Olney
that he forthwith rid Montana of the Cree
Indians. The demand was made after the
receipt of a letter from the secretary, re-
ferring to the Cree controversy, of which
the following is part:
“The department has now called the
subject to the attention of the British em-
bassador, with the request that the au-
thorities of the Dominion of Canada may
be informed of your readiness to deliver
the Indians to them, and that this govern-
ment may be informed as to when and
where her majesty’s authorities will be
ready to receive them. The department
expects an early response to its inquiries.
and it is hoped that the authorities of
Montana will be prepared to take prompt
action if a favorable reply shall be received
from the embassy. ”
In reply Governor Rickards
Secretary Olney that the matter is now an
international affair, and that it is the duty
of the federal government. and not the
state, to remove the Indians. In conclu-
sion he says that the Crees in times past
spread scarlet fever and diphtheria
throughout the state, and that new small-
pox has broken out and is spreading on
account of them, and that. Montana as a
state and part of the Union demands of
the federal government that it forthwith
remove the indians, irrespective of Eng-
land’s reply to the secretary’s letter.

H Steamer Aneriers Terrible Passage—Loss
of the Schooner Millie I. E.’
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7.-After a terri-
ble passage, with decks swept, cargo shift-
ed, boats carried away and otherwise
damaged, the British steamship Anerley,
Captain Sherborne, arrived from Santiago
-de Cuba, with 2, 650 tons of iron ore from
the J uragua mines.
The Anerley on reaching the locality of
Cape Hatteras last Saturday encountered
a heavy southwest gale with tremendously
high seas. All day on Sunday these con-
ditions prevailed and the ship was knocked
about with great fury. Seas boarded her
from all quarters, carrying before them
everything from the decks, starting the
lifeboats, bridge bulwarks and rails. The
iron bridge was smashed and the frent of
the chartroom was carried away. The
cargo shifted, and she was badly listed
upon her arrival in port.
Captain Sherborne was shown dispatches
received here from Santiago some days
ago, to the effect that 18 or 20 Cubans in
the J uragua mines, after having been bar-
barously beaten. were hanged, some by the
neck and others by the feet. and tortured
to death recently by Spanish officials. The
captain denied that such a thing had oc-
c,urred and said. that when the Anerley
sailed, eight days after this is reported to
have taken place, the mines were in active
operation and everything in the locality
was peaceful and quiet.

ANOTHER HEALER.
A Blacksmith Whose Cures Are as Re-
markable as Those of Schlatter.
JACKSONVILLE, Vt, Feb. 7. —Bradley
NeWell, the local village blacksmith. is
growing in fame, and letters are pouring
in upon him from every quarter. If mat-
tors keep on, Nowell will be as famous as
Schlatter. He has just returned from a
three days’ stay at Brattleboro, where he
has treated hundreds of cases. Nowell
says he wishes he could not heal people,
because he dislikes to be sought after. He
prefers the ring of his anvil to the ring of
fame. But it seems he must accept the
fame which' 1s being forced upon him.
In the three days that Nowell was in
Brattleboro he treated people suffering
with almost all the maladies with which
the human family is afflicted, and though
he did not expect to stay more than a few
hours, he found it almost impossible to
get away from his importuning patients.
He was not successful in treating all cases,
while others again yield to his treatment
only temporarily. Some seem to have
been perm nently benefited and some par-
tially curer As a whole he was success-
ful in most cases, as in one or two of deaf-
ness, where the patient had not heard as
much as the ticking of a watch in many
years. After one treatment these persons
were able not only to hear a watch, but .
they could hear a clock tick in an adjoin- H:
ing room. “Of course nobody can posi-
tively say that the affliction will not re",j
turn,” said the healer, “but' I believe it:1
possible to cure just such cases perma-p ,
nently. ”
