Childs. In the death of Mr. George W.Chilo’s, of Philadelphia, the country loses one of its most conspicuous and best-loved citizens. He was everywhere well known and ‘everywhere held in high esteem, as a generous, whole-souled man, a genu- ine philanthropist, a typical American citizen, and an embodiment, of the car- dinal virtues that gave to life its dis- tinguishing charms. The story of the early struggles of Mr.Childs, of his subsequent successes, of his final ascent to the height of hu. man prosperity, was elaborately told in the colums of yesterday’s Gaznrrn. It is a career abounding in interest from the time when as a boy he was thrown upon his own resources through the years that intervened to the high and honorable culminatious with which his undertakings were ultimately crowned. It not only abounds in inter- ests, but in lessons that young men generally may emulate,as exemplifying in their most impressive form the self- reliance,the foresight, the well directed energy, the sagacious use of opportu- nities, that constitute the inspiration and assurance of life’s substantial good fortune. Mr. Childs was not a man of ambi- tion, in the ordinary sense of the term. He never sought political preferment. He never aspired to literary eminence. His character was utterly devoid of pretense, as it was of selfishness. Hav- ing succeeded in establishing the Ledg- er upon pcrmanent foundations and made it an affluent source of revenue, he devoted himself to the broadening of its influence with conscientious fidelity, and to the interests of those with whom he was associated, with a sympathetic sense of duty and regard that eminently characterized him in all the relations of life. But the tangible achievements of his industry and enterprise are not his only or his greatest monuments. As a citi- zen whose public spirit knew no limits short of the welfare of the community in which he resided or of the country which he loved so well; as a philan- thropist whose public benefactions were many; as a private doer of good deeds, ever alive to appeals of distress, he leaves memorials without number to the wisdom, the benignity, and the great-hearted kindliness Of his nature. It is to be regretted, indeed, that a life so eminent for its broad activities and constant beneficence of motive should have been brought to a termina- tion ere the shadows of advancing age had dulled his sympathies or clouded the genial warmth of his temperament; but it cannot be said that he has gone before leaving his life work incomplete. He wrought his appointed mission well. He neglected no duty that fell in his way. The cypress leaves that we place upon his grave are mingled with never- fading laurels. Considerable local and vicinity mat- ter is crowded out to-day to make room for reports of the doings of the twin city councils, both of which reports will be found to be of an unusually in- teresting character. Fire in South Wilton. The home of Louis Verlin was great- ly damaged by fire at about 3 o’clock Monday afternoon.

USE DANA‘S SABSAPARIL LAJ.’ "S “THE KIND THAT CURES. ” The Tuhey Case. A hearing in the case of the State vs. John Tuhey and his son Edward Tuhey of Franklin avenue fame was held before Justice Austin, Monday after- noon, Attorney Walsh appearing for the prosecution and Attorney Taylor for the defense. The charges against the Tuheys were assault and breach of the peace. ' The parties alleged to have been assaulted were William McMullen and Joseph Beagan, Jr., and the heads Of both bore evidence of severe punish- ment. ’ McMullen testified that in company with Beagan he left Tuhey’s saloon about half past twelve o’clock Sunday morning, and seeing a tub over which there had been some wrangling the night before, be for a joke picked it up and started to hide it when he was set upon by young Tuhey, who, after call- ing him a vile name,struck him one or more blows in the face, knocking him down. That he afterwards went to the residence of Dr. Tracey where the cuts were dressed. A cross examination failed to in any material point impeach his testimony, but elicited the fact that John Tuhey took part in the assault. Young Beagan testified that he came out of the saloon between 12 and 1 o’clock and sat down on a railing to the stoop Of a side entrance. He also cor- roborated the evidence of McMullcn in reference to the tub, and further testi- fied that Edward Tuhey came up and dealt him a blow in the face and that John Tuhey grabbed him by the feet and tumbled him over the railing. He afterwards accompanied McMullen to Dr. rIlracey’s. Believed that he was kicked by both of the Tuheys, after being knocked down. Mrs. Mary Beagan, who lives near by the scene of the assaults testified to having heard loud talking between the hours of 12 and 1 o’clock at Tuhey’s saloon, and recognized the voices as those of John Tuhey and his son. Mr. Joseph Beagan testified as to the distance between his house and the saloon of Tuhey, and said that it was about 200 feet. The attorneyfor the defense rested without presenting any evidence. Attorney Walsh in summing up said that it was an outrageous assault and the punishment as being beyond the jurisdiction of a justice court. . Attorney Taylor claimed that the facts did not warrant a conviction, and asked for the acquittal of the accused. Justice Austin found Edward Tuhey. guilty on two counts, on each of which he was fined $7 and costs. - John Tuhey was also found guilty and fined $14 and costs. Attorney Taylor took an appeal and J ustice Austin placed the prisoners under _$100 bonds each, H. E. Darin becoming surety for John Tuhey, and John Tuhey. qualified in the same. amount for his son. . Hope Hose Gonipany Scored by the J been increased. war ‘c—d unnatural).

Wallace Dann also formal y accepted his appointment as captain of the po- lice force. The following communication from chief engineer Prowitt was read and accepted : __ To the JlIayor and Council of the City of Nor-walls. GENTLEarEx:—It afforded me great satisfaction to know that the invitation extended you to inspect the fire depart- ment on the evening Of January 16th was so appreciated that every member reported, together with the clerk, and being escorted by the engineers, visited the different quarters, giving you an opportunity to see the members in full dress uniform and look over the proper- ty of the city in charge Of the different companies. The inspection was called for at 8 o’clock sharp, at which time it was the duty of the captains to have their com- panies drawn up in line, ready to re- ceive the Board of Engineers and guests. 0n arriving at Hope Hose company’s house on Water street, in place of the men being in position, we found the first floor deserted. But in about five minutes the company rallied and fell into line, five strong. The captain reported that he had posted the notice, as required by the company by-laws, but the members failed to respond, . Before the inspection at the house was completed five more members strolled in, so the captain reported 10 men out of 17 on the roll. Repeated trouble at this house com- pelled me, during last year, to demand of its officers an enforcement of its by- laws, thereby expelling 8 of its mem- bers, which reduced the roll from 25 to 17. I am free to confess that after repeat- ed attempts to make something of this company, I am compelled to say that they have passed their days of useful- ness, and the city will be better off and certainly a step will be put to the dis» graceful proceedings which take place there every Sunday, if the City Coun~ oil will disband this company and turn the property over to the Chief Engi- neer. Our next visit was to the police quar- ters. Here we found 18 men in line, the captain reporting 22 men on roll, 4 not uniformed. This company is in fine condition and thoroughly drilled. At Pioneer Hook and Ladder quar- ters we were agreeably disappointed to find so many men in line, the member- ship of this company having lately This company having been in a very weak condition since the reorganiza- tion by the Court of Burgesses’ three years ago, I am not prepared to report as to the efiiciency of the company. That matter I will put to an actual test in a few days. We next called upon the banner com- pany, Phoenix Engine company. Here we found 27 men in line. This com- pany is thoroughly drilled, officers and men working together. Just as soon as the weather permits, I shall be pleased to show you the company dur- ing an alarm and at work. I feel that now, the first year of our. city, is a good time to re-organize the department where necessary, and cer- tainly some portion needs. immediate attention. Having this prOject in view, at your last meeting I invited you to accompany me the following evening and visit the Stamford Fire Depart- ment. I assure you it was very gratify- ing to have so full a representation of your honorable body with me on that occasion. It showed me and the offi- cers of Stamford that you were deeply interested. I feel assured you all en- joyed the visit and came home deeply impressed with, not only the work as shown, but by the manner in which we were received and entertained by the Warden, Fire Commissioner, Chief Engineer and staff. I selected Stam- ford because at one time they were placed in a similar position with the fire department as we are at the pres- ent time, and my object in asking you to visit them was to see how nicely they were housed under the one roof. You saw there. the two steamers, the hose carriage and the hook and ladder. You saw the horses in stables at. the rear of, the apparatus and how quickly they re- sponded to ,an alarm. -You saw also how the upper portion Of the building was divided into parlor, bunk room, bath and reading room. I suggest, gentlemen, that we, as far as practica- ble, copy after the Stamford Fire De— partment and place our department under the one roof. We now have in our Main street house the steamer and hose crabbe on one side, and hook and ladder on the other side. At our house on Water street we have a parade hose carriage, a four-wheel working car- riage and two jumpers, and at Dann’s livery stable a hose wagon and pair of [ street house to place the entire appara- harness. 2 . I We have plenty of room in the Mam .‘, tus'provided certain changes take place, which would necessitate the remodel. city and. now waste ground. To carry out my idea it would be necessary to remove a portion Of the central wall, throwing the two rooms into, one, properly supporting the upper portion where the wall is. removed; remove the two flights of stairs, using one pair only and that at the rear of the build- ing; carry'up the rear wall to height ‘of front wall and so gain two extra So much. rooms and a battery room. for the upper floor. At the rear of the lower floor as now, place stables for horses. I would suggest that you buy four horses and harness for two. This would give us horses for supply wagon and truck and in case of a second alarm they could be sent back for steamer and more hose. I do not think at the present time we could afford to buy horses for fire duty alone, but by giv- ing them a home in the house they can easily be trained for fire duty and be on hand in case an alarm is sent in dur- ing the night, and work on the roads during the day. This has been done ‘in other places with very satisfactory re- sults, and the actual expense for the department much less than now, where horses are run in from livery stables. I suggest that in place Of the worn out stoves now in use, a suitable heater be placed in the cellar to heat the entire building; It would be an easy matter to ascertain the expense of the pro- posed changes, provided you look with favor upon my suggestions. I have no desire to see a paid department but a thoroughly equipped volunteer depart- ment. I would limit the number of each company to 25 men and properly uniform every man, making the law so fine as to uniforms that when a member drops out of a company he would be compelled to deliver to his officer in command all the property in his pos- session Dclongingto the city. I suggest an issue of new badges to members, size and shape entirely different from those now in use, by not only members but friends of members. With reference to our fire alarm tele- graph I hand you the report Of the su- perintendent, which speaks for itself without any comment from me. Now gentlemen, before closing, let me beg you, without further delay, to investigate my report as to Hope. Hose CO. No. 2, of Water street. My information as to the conduct of the members of Hope Hose Co. is ofii- cial, coming direct from the captain in charge, Patrick Slattery. Respect-fully yours, J. T. PROWITT, _ Chief Engineer. It was voted that the committee on fire department, together with chief en- gineer Prowitt and his assistants be ap- iointed a committe to investigate the matters referred to in chief engineer Prowitt’s communication and report at the next meeting Of the council. After- ward the committee on streets was ad- ded to the above committee. A communication from John H.Hoyt, superintendent of the fire alarm system was read, in which he suggested that important and necessary improvements be made in the entire system. The matter was referred to the com- mittee on fires and the board of fire on- gineers. _ Councilman Pinneo as chairman of the relief committee stated that the committee would meet on Tuesday for the purpose of organizing, and to for- mulate a plan of action. ' The committee on the new city ordi- nances reported progress. The chairman of the committee on fi- nance was authorized to borrow 31,000 and give the city’s note for the same. Councilman Adams read a commu- nication in which he recommended that the city purchase two horses, harness, and etc, at an expense not in excess of $450; he also suggested the remodeling Of the fire engine house on Main street, fitting it for the headquarters of the en- tire tire department, and that the pres- ent hose house on Water street be util- ized as a station-house, court room,etc. It was voted that the street commis- sioner be empowered to purchase two horses, 9. double harness and two cart-s for the use of the city. The chairmen of the several commit- tees were instructed to prepare an esti- mate of the expenses in their depart- ments for the ensuing year, and report before the laying of the city tax in March. It was voted that the salary of the chief of police be $2.50 per day, that of the captain 2.50, and that of patrolmen, $2 per day, for actual service. It was voted to rescind the vote passed at a former meeting of the council fix- ing the bonds of the city treasurer and treasurer of the water fund at $58,000 af- ter which a resolution placing the bond of the city treasurer at $7, 000 and that of the treasurer of the water fund at $5,000 was passed. The chairman of the finance commit- tee was instructed to investigate the matter Of the secretary of the board of water commissioners furnishing a bond. The police committee was instructed to purchase new badges for the entire police department. The council then adjourned to meet Feb. 19th at 8 o’clock. -.

LONDON, Feb. 6. —Mr. FwC. Selous, the explorer who has just returfihd from South Africa, where he has been distinguishing himself in the operations against the Mat- abeles, tells a graphic story of his experi- ences with the \Vilson detachment, recent- ly massacre—d by the Matabcles. Selous also confirms the statements made by Coryn- don, the hunter, of the prominent and bril- liant part 'taken by two AxnericansLIn- gram and Burnam—during Captain W'il- son’s pursuit of King Lobepgula. Selous’ story he had fronfi he lips of In- gram, one of the American scouts, and the explorer has no words too strong to praise the dashing and dangerous ride of the two Americans after they left the \Vilson party. The natives, says Selous, Wm‘e keeping up a hot fire from both sides of the valley, and the whites answered it steadily. \Vilson called to Burnam, the second American, and asked if he thought he could ride back to the main column, coni- manded by Major Forbes, and get help. To this Burnum replied, “I will try, ma jor, but I should like Fred Ingram to ac- company rue.” Captain \Vilson‘agreed to this, and Se- lous, continuing, says that after leaving their comrades the Americans first rode down the valley in order to get clear of the Kafi‘irs in the right hand bush and made for the king’s wagon track, which they were just approaching when they were met by a large body of Matabeles, who opened a heavy fire upon them. But the Americans outflanked them and managed to get clear. No sooner were they clear of this body of the enemy, however, when they came upon a second and much larger force, rapidly advancing through the bush and evidently bent upon joining in the at- tack upon the Wilson party. When they saw the two Americans, the natives charged upon them, thinking they would be able to surround them, but Bur- fired with such good effect that they again succeeded in outflankipg fihe swift footed savages. When the Amer cans finally got clear 'after their brilliant display of gener- alship, horsemanship and marksmanship, they and their horses were completely ex‘ hausted. When questioned as to the state in which they left the Wilson party, replying to the questions of Commissioner Jameson, who asked Ingram if the Wilson party could not possibly have outflankcd the Kaffirs and retreated down the Shanghai river, the American replied: ”I guess not, doctor. Four men had been dismounted, and the herses of many of the others were completely done for. Some of those with the best horses might certainly have “escaped, but they were not the class of men to leave their chums. “No, doctor; I guess they fought it right out where they stood.” T B E ALABAMA STORM. Houses Blown Down, \Vlres l’rostrated and Many Lives Lost. BIRMINGHAM. Ale... Feb. 6. -—Further de- tails of the storm which swept over this part of Alabama show the damage to have been much greater than was at first sup- pbsed. At North Birmingham a dozen houses were blown down. James Smith, a railroad section foreman, was fatally in- jured by the roof of his house falling in. On the East Lake railroad three stations were blown down. At East Lake one house was blown 50 yards and upset. Its occu- pant-s escaped unhurt. The worst damage was at Gate City. Mrs. E. H. I’ritchard, who was crushed by falling beams at the destruction of the Congregational church, died at midnight. She was the wife of the superintendent of the Alabama rolling mills, and her home was at Ironton. A young man named \Vil- liams died today from his injuries. Mrs. James Miles received fatal internal in- juries. Charles Olson and James Harts- h'orn were also fatally wounded. It is now known that from 30 to 40 others received injuries, though none of these is fatally hurt. Nearly every house in Gate City was damaged by the storm. An im- mense amount of timber in the track of the storm was destroyed. At East Birmingham 3. church and school building were wrecked. Near Choccoloco :5. tree fell on Mrs. J. F. McDowell’s house, .. killing her instantly. Telegraph wires were blown down, and many trees fell across railroad tracks. No Divarce From a we Convict. ST.
