Address the publishers, 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, A TEST THIS MORNING, When told that tho hose wagons wire infinitely superior -to the reels, ■ r ' " * re iriolihed o a test wns City Chinese Laundry, CHARLEY ONG LUNG, Prop’r.

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- before the plan materiallr "jfiSsS 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!

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. -Thcv never quite lenve u*. our friend* who liuvu imeeod , Tlil-mitrh tho ehudows of dcittli to tho suit* liaht above; - A thousand sweet memories aro holding them fust To plticos they blest with their presonito .and love.” . . ■ . 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.
