ERIE MEDICAL CO.,
From 8a-nrdsy’s Kv«nixo Hkkald
The City Fathers held a special call
meeting: at the Counoil Chamber last
night to hear Capt. W. B. Joyner's
opinions as to the best method of reor
ganizing the olty fire department.
As is well known, suoli a movement
has been on foot ever since the new
oounoll went into ofllce, and all kinds
of plans and arrangements have been
discussed looking to Its establishment
on the best footing. It was finally de
cided to invite Capt. Joyner, chief of
Atlanta fire department, down to look
over the situation, wbioh he did and
gave his views last night.
Capt. Joyner believes that the olty
should, by all means, have a paid de
partment with six regular men, that Is
three at each engine house. To this
force should be added six supernumer.
aries, whose duties should be to attend
and serve at all fires. These could be
employed at a salary of $75, or near
that amount, by the year, as they
would only be required to come out on
the ocoasion of a tire.
It was bis idea that one man should
be kept on patrol duty at each engine
house during halt the night, and then
changed. In case of a fire this patrol
would be ready to ring the alarm and
arouse the firemen.
Again there seems to be no necessity
for keeping both the old steamers.
One of them might be kept in case of
an emergency or acoident at the
waterworks, but Mr. Joyner says that
out,of 253 fires in Atlanta last year a
stegmer was used at only one of them.
He recommends the use oi hose
wagons instead of the old style heavy
hose reels. By the use of these wngonB
the hose is placed in position and
water can bo turned on fifty per cent,
quicker than with the reel. Then,
too, the hose wagons will come cheaper
than the reels, perhaps by $100, and
besides encli of them is equipped with
two Babcock extinguishers, which are
invaluable In small fires. .
difjjt. Joyner thinks that such a de
partment as the one outlined above
can be put into operation at a cost not
to exceed $4,800 to $5,000 per year at
the outside, and there is no doubt but
that it will not only be a vast improve
ment over the present system, but
will be a capable and elllcient depart
ment equal to any emergency which
may occur in Albany. Chief Joyner
also very kindly offered to give the
chief oi the new department here a
thorough tetf'days’,training whenever
he should by eloqteh, including a two
minute ride to A one.mile fire,

Capt. Joyner.obtained - nil ordinary
wagon nnd hud the hose laid iri it
properly and then tvpq runs were made
to tile same plug on Broad street near
the Artesian House. Jle showed that
the connection cObldibe made and the:
water turned on before the hose was
all out of the wagon, and that it oould
be taken out and laid in about half the
time that it would require with the
reel. When the experiment was giver
there were a number of convert* to
the hose wagon on the field.
Cnpt. Joyner has enjoyed a two days’
ant since being here, ne will re
main over until to-morrow at 11:40
when he leaves for Atlanta.
Just what tho Council will do in the
matter is not known at present. A re
port will probably be made by the fire
committee at the next meeting and the
matter considered at length. It is to
be hoped that the city can get a good
paid department.
I< HI nr Be Wonc
There are quite a number of horse
droVers, stock dealers, or “horse-men,”
as they are frequently called in the
city now, many of whom have never
been here before, and there is some
talk of buying or leasing the old fair
ground property from the city and
converting it into thoroughly
equipped winter quarters for fine Ken
tucky horses. They claim that by bring
ing the young colts hero during the
severe winter months, at which time
they are closely housed -in Kentucky,
they can get them in “trim” for the
spring races and far surpass the
stock that has not enjoyed this ad
vantage. Then they claim, too, that
the establishment of such quarters
will prove an incentive to stock rais
ing in this section, as thoroughly com
petent and experienced trainers would
be in charge, and in that way the best
trotting aud racing stock of the coun
try could be developed right here at
home.
As yet no definite aotion has been
taken in the matter, but the local
stockmen have beome interested in
the prospect, and it may not be long-

From Monday's livening Herald.
No inoldent of a like nature ever at
tracted more attention In Albany,
than did the flight of H. M. Carter
from the olty with Mbs Della Clarke.
From time to time, the readers of
the Hxrald have been Informed as to
the supposed whereabouts and known
movements of Carter, and, aome time
ago, information was received In the
olty to the efiTeot thaf he had been seen
and interviewed in Montgomery.
From later information reoeived,
and newer disooveriea made, It would
now appear that the party seen in
Montgomery waa not Carter, but some
person who probably waa fond of a
joke, and felt inclined to humor the
fancied discovery of his identity and
enjoy the privilege of laughing in hia
sleeve.
The Hrrald has Just been informed,
positively, of the whereabouts of the
gay gentleman, and it developes that
he Is now holding forth in Birming
ham, haa gone to work, >nd la atill
sticking to wife the second. The re-
port that he had gone baok to hia flrat
better-half, and left No. 3 to shift for
herself, was evidently an erroneous
one, and is successfully oontradloted
by the faot that Carter went direct
from Albany to Birmingham, and has
not left that plane since.
Mothingelse of interest in connec
tion with him has occurred, and for
the present, we pull the curtain fiver
hia moments, but will probably be
called on, before long, to ohronlcle
some more of hia strange capers.
Ok mother.
The following beautiful inoident
and tribute to a mother’s love Is from
the pen of Mr. James Callaway of the
Maoon Telegraph:
Two prominent Georgians, Col. John
Troutman of Fort Valley and Capt.
Ab. Holt of Macon, as is well known,
are applicants for the position of
United States marshal for the south
ern tllatriot of Georgin. Bqfh of these
gentlemen wrote to Justice I,amar,
bespeaking his Influence with Mr.
Cleveland. Both are connected by
strong fumily ties with Justice La
mar’s mother' married Col. Troutman's
father, while Capt. Holt Was a nephew
or Justice Lamar’s wife. Justice La
mar linil a strong personal attaohment
for botli of the applicants.
Replying to Capt. Holt’s letter, he
expressed his very high regard, espec
ially clear to him. as he was a favorite
nephew of his wife's and what a pleas
ure it would be to advance his claim
“but,”adde$ the Justice,“you must re
member that John Troutman wns my
mother's stepisot)* and she was vgry
fond of him;” • > >
Whati a tribute to Ms mother!
T-hough long since dead, yet ebe still
controlled his heart, guided his im
pulses, dominated his will. No won
der is It that Mr. Cifivelnnd, President
rrisoti, Mr. Bayard and the great
men of the nation testify in mournful
telegrnms their love' fot 1 the dead
Statesman anil jurist!
Had Capt; Troutman’s relationship
come from the father’s aide, then
Capt. Holt had been easily first choice.
But the memory of his mother!
.-This mother-love! It is the vestal
flame burning perennially in our'
hearts, lighting them ufa in a soft mel
low splendor 1 like that'which lingers
about tho evening sky when the great
orb of day has long disappeared from

Nothlng compensates the loss of a
mother. The world Is never again so
beautiful; the skies never so bright;
the flowers not so fragrant,'and the
songs of the birds-not so sweet.
The whole odter world seems to be
tinted with tho tones' of her voioe, the
words she snitl, the songs that she
sung.
But after all, death is a blessing in
disguise. Without it mankind would
be a series of isolated units. With it,
heaven, “the crown to be won,” is no
longer an outlying realm of shadows,
beyond our sympathy and regard, bun
a portion of the loved scenery of home,
holding that which is dearer than life
itself.

ABOUT COTTON.
The Financial Chronicle says that
the less rapid marketing of cotton in
January this year than last year has
served to further increase the dispart
ty between the two seasons in the
amount brought into sight. In fact,
there has come into sight during the
month only 559,371 bales against 752,-
027 bales in January, of 1892, and, fur
thermore, the current total is smaller
than during the corresponding period"
of any year since 1888. The aggregate
amount of the crop ot 1892-93 now visi
ble is but 5,301,761 bales, against 7,155-
619 bales at the close of January last
year, or a falling off of 1,858,768 bales.
