House .Officer Wilson and a friend of

two men just in time. Martin was
taken to the police station.

WORK OF UFE SAVERS.
Annual Report on the Service Made
by Its Superintendent.
Washington, Dec. I.—The annual re
port of the general superintendent of
the life-saving service shows that dur
ing the year assistance was rendered
■by the life-saving crews to 1,061 ves
sels of all kinds, involving the lives
of,more than 3.300 persons, and prop
erty to the value of nearly $7,000,000.
The crews also rescued 103 persons
not on hoard vessels from various peril
ous situations, and through signal
warnings of the Ibeach patrols saved
from possible disaster 161 vessels in
danger of stranding. The vessels
wrecked were generally of small tan
nage. The total number of disasters
to vessels of all kinds was 770, with a
valuation of $6,705,530, of which $5,330.-
080 was saved and $1,375,450 was lost.
The total number of persons involved
was 3,828, of whom 34 lost their lives.
The telephone system maintained by
the service has proved of great assist
ance, and much attention has been
given to its Improvement and exten
sion, The life-saving service lines now
extend, practically unbroken, from
Maine to the Carollnas and have con
nection at ail Important points with
the commercial telephone and telegraph
lines of the country and also, desirable,
with the lighthouses and weather bu
reau offices on the coast.
The life-saving stations, the report
•ays. constitute an important factor In
the system of coast guard petrol main
tained by the Navy Department for
protecting the coast 1n time of war,
and it is expected that the wireless
telegraph system now being tested by
the navy, when sufficiently perfected,
will he extended to the life-saving sta
tions; in fact, plans already are be
ing prepared for Its Installation.

FIRE AT WATERWORKS.
Frarrd Waycroaa May Have a Water
famine To-day.
Waycross, Ga.. Dec. X.—The water
works station, in heart of the city,
was partially destroyed by fire at 9
o’clock to-night. No one was present
in the building at the time, and the
blaze probably started from sparks in
the boiler room. The doors of the
building were all closed, and the fire
was not discovered until there waa a
sudden burst of flame, which lighted up
the streets for blocks around.
The fire department responded
promptly, but the principal credit in
saving the plant probably lies with B.
D. Finn, former waterworks inspector,
who entered the engine room in the
midst of the flames. He was severely
scalded, but stuck to his post until
the fire was checked. The machinery
in the plant was worth more than $lO,-
000, but to-night It is not believed to
have suffered great damage.
The loss to the city is not considera
ble, as the new waterworks plant Is
almost ready for occupancy, and the
old one will not be repaired.
There is danger of a water famine
here to-morrow, should the pumps and
boilers fail to work to-night. There
is jin reserve about 400,000 gallons of
water in the stand pipe, but this
would only last a few hours. A num-'
her of workmen are repairing the dam
aged machinery to-night, and it is ex
pected the plant will again be working
by morning.
