Pneumonia* is still very prevalent in Brownoville, and gives no sign of abating. Avery large number of oases are reported, and it is feared that some of them will ter minate fatally. This terrible disease has prevailed in the towns across the river for some time. The unseasonable weather has contributed largely towards causing it. Recently there has been much of it in Co lumbus. The City Physician, in his lost report to Council, speaks of the great in crease in sickness. He has been remarka bly fortunate in his treatment of patients. It is to be hoped that the prevalence of sickness will not long continue, and that the city will maintain that fame for health which it has so long enjoyed. .\i’M from the Front!

The Miorm In Ruell. We have reliable information from the lower portion of Russell county, Ala., that the storm of Monday night was quite severe in that section. Tho gin-house and negro cabins on the plantation of Col. S. C. Lindsay were blown down, and several negroes were more or less injurod; also, his stables were destroyed, and a valuable mule was killed. Two miles west of the above place, on the plantation of Mrs. Zach Gordon, the storm raged fiercely. Here, also, a number of houses were blown down and other damage done. No lives lost. Annual Parade of Fire Department. BBUUTED CONTENTS. LARGE CROWDS AND GOOD FEELING. mTIVITY AT NIGHT. ■ .... Yesterday was a gala day for our fire men. The annual parade of tho Fire De partment occurred, and it was witnessed by one of the largest crowds soon in this city for many a day. The companies looked their best and were out in strong numbers. Everybody seemed to take a holiday in the afternoon, and the sole object of attraction seemed to be the firemen and their contests. At three o'clock in the afternoon the va rious companies left their engine houses and repaired, with their engines to Troup street, where the procession was formed by the at half past throe o’clock. Tin* procession, when form ed, proceeded to Bryan street, through Bryan to Broad, and down Broad. As it moved down the principal business street of the city it presented a fine spectacle. The sidewalks were full of men, ladles and children. Every window was crowded, and the whole street was thronged with spectators. The procession was one of the largest ever seen in tho city. It was proceeded by the time-honored fife and drum, and to this martial music most gaily marched. First came a detachmont from the po lice force, ten in number, headed by Mar shal Robinson on a spirited steed. Next came Chief Engineer W. H. Wil liams, and Messrs. Etheridge and Francis, his Assistants. In front of tho companies came trusty old No. l, her fine steamer beautifully decked in flowers and drawn by four fine bays, which were driven by Mr. A. Gam el. Behind the engine stood Jake Bur rus, ready to fire her up and make her tremble beneath the inightv power of steam. Then came the company, com posed mostly of middle-aged men. They were out twenty-nine strong. No. 1 was followed by tho dashing and chivalrie Young America No. 5. Their beautiful steamer, “Old Rock,” was adorned with wreaths of flowers, and was tho object of general admiration. It was drawn by four grays. The company is composed of our young men, most of whom are unmarried. They are full of spirit and energy, and make capital fire men. They were thirty-eight strong, and had on their handsome new uniforms. Rescue Hook and Ladder Company came next in the line. This company is composed of middle-aged men, and was pronounced by several in our hearing to bo the handsomest on the ground. It had out twenty-five .men. The truck has been recently repaired and painted, ami looked well. The men wore the new helmet caps which are pretty and remarkably service able. Next came Mechanics' No. C. This com pany is composed of mechanics from our railroad shops—men of muscle, will and determination. They were out thirty-five strong, and drew their faithful old hand engine with a perceptible pride. Washington No. 6, composed of some of our best colored citizens, came lost. They were out sixty-four strong, and looked just as happy as possible. This is one of the most serviceable companies in the De partment. The procession hultod when the first part of it reached the corner of Broad and Bt. Clair streets; the rear of the line had not reached the corner of Broad and Randolph streets at that time. The companies were all drawn up in a line, and tho officers of each advanced to the center of the street, where the rejiortswere read to His Honor, the Mayor, and a committee from the Council, consisting of Aldermen Andrews, Blanchard, Grimes, Clark and Brannon. Chief Engineer Williams and Assistants Etheridge and Francis were also on the, Inspecting Committee. Reports were read from each of the com panies, and, without exception, they are in good condition, The following is a list of the officers of each company. no. 1. B. F. Coleman, President; <’. C.

After all these reports had been read by Alderman Flournoy, Mayor Mcllhenny addressed the Department in a few ap propriate remarks. He stated his satis faction at the inspection, and paid a glow ing tribute to the efficiency of the Depart | meat If every city had as good a one, i the rates of insurance would to almost nominal. The success of our liremen is remarkable, and to them the city owes a debt of gratitude. At the close of his neat and well-timed remarks, his Honor was warmly ap plauded. I Chief Engineer Williams then gave or | dors to prepare for the contest, which was j to take place immediately. THE CONTEST. The contest was then in order, and was entered into with spirit and zeal by all the companies. The conditions of the contest were as follows: Run from Proer A Illges’ corner tom- tom In front of J. Ennis' hardware store (100 yards), detach two (8) sections (100 feet) hose from reel, make connection to engine, and throw wutor through hose and pipe. Two-whool junior to bo used; 300 foot hose to be on jumper; not loss than (10) ten or more than (16) sixteen men al lowed to run. The following gentlemen were selected AS judges : For No. I.— Peter Freer. For No. 5.—W. L. Salisbury. For No. 6.—W. L. Clark. Young America put her engine at the cistern and prepared her hose for the first run. Everything was put in order and tho boys lookod eager for the fun. The signals wore not properly understood, ttough, and soon tho foreman, thinking that tho signal to start had been given, yelled through his trumpet and away sailed the swift footed youths. They made an admirable run, put on their hose beautifully, and threw a stream of water. All this was done in j twenty-eight seconds. The boys were ju bilant, but their joy was turned into sad-: ness when the committee informed them that they had,run without the proper signal j being given, and that their good raw could • not count. This wad undoubtedly the fin- j est ever marie in the city. It was decided j to allow the boys anther turn. Meanwhile j No. 1 drew up and got ready. Her men i made a good run, and finished ull the ma- j neuvres in thirty-three and a half seconds, j Mechanics’, No. 6, came next. This com-! pany was the favorite with those who bet.: Much was expected of the brawny arms and stalwart frames. There was consid erable disappointment when the toys run and made it in thirty-five seconds, thus | falling behind No. 1. Young America had recovered her juven ile strength by this time and was all right for a second run. Everything was put in j order and 41m signal given. The boys ran beautifully; they came down to it "for dear life,” and as their reel flew along, No. i 1 look<xl pale, and could have been bought very cheap. No. 5 had the victory in her \ hands, but the toys at the nozzle grow ex-' cited in the hurry of screwing it on; the water came before its time, and all was ruined. With a little coolness No. 5 would have strutted off the ground with tho plume of victory in her cap. The run was liuely put up, and the toys ought to be proud of it. They are the best runners in tho Department, and if they will just keep cool next year, we will put our last copper on them. The last run was made in about twenty-eight seconds. The ambitious ] young firemen felt badly over their sad j failure, but had the proud assurance that, if the “darned thing hadn’t slipped," they would have left all rivalry behind. Try again, No. 5, and if you don’t come i out. ahead, we will not prophecy again. A prize of two silver goblets was offered i to the two squads of Washington Fire! Company. They both ran finely, but both | failed to make connections with their en gine. The prize was awarded to the com-; pany, and will to contested for by the two 1 squads at some future time. After the unsuccessful running of the j colored firemen the day’s sports were over. Everybody went homo pleased with j the pretty spectacle. The toys of No. 1 walked a little high, but wo are all human, j Young America looked slightly drooped, j but felt like she was as good as the best, j THE SUFFER. The fun did not conclude with tho day. j Tho richest and most enjoyable part of the anniversary was after tea, at tho ele gant Armory of the City Light Guards. Here the citizens had prepared a feast for tho gallant red jackets, and by 8 o'clock the room was filled with a jolly crowd. A long table stretched across the room and was laden with refreshments of various kinds. lee cream, lemonade and every thing g<Hii was there in profuse abun dance,. and withstood a continued attack from a large number of healthy appetites. It was pleasant to s<*e the men eat. They exhibited the beauty of true, uncramped enjoyment. We noticed Mayor Mcllhenny ami sev eral aldermen present. They seemed to enter fully into the general festivity. Al derman Ledsinger was disguised finely, i and did not wear his accustomed look of j official dignity. After the supper had been fully enjoyed the companies wore called to order to hear the award of the committee. They simply gave the facts and declined to make any award, as no rules hud been given thorn. Chief Engineer Williams stated that Re cording to the usual rules, ho was com pelled to award the first prize to No 1. John Peabody, Esq., delivered the prize. It was a magnificent chromo called “Asia,” representing a female figure, which portrayed the peculiar but magnifi cent beauty of that ancient land. Mr. Peabody's speech was fine, and we wish wp had space to give it. It abound ed in pith, wit and apt illustration, and took finely. The prize was nveived by President Coleman, who made a speech in which ho detailed the history and services of the Columbus Fire Department in fine style, and returned many thanks for the prize. He delivered it to Foreman Bran non, who received it with a most happy speech. His effort was warmly applauded and pleased everybody. Mr. Peabody presented the second prize to Central Mechanics No. 6. This prize was a pair of rich chromos, “On a Strike” and “Clear the Track.” They were re ceived with a sensible and short speech by Vice-President A. J. Nix. Young America! received some very handsome compli-j ! ments, which were worth fully as much as . * ! I a prize. After the prizes were awarded, there j was some rich fun. A fine string band | was in attendance, and a good, old-fash ioned “stag” dance was enjoyed. Of all j the dances we ever saw. it was the richest, j Scenes which beggar description trans pired. Jake Burras was in his glory, and as a modern belle would sav, “waltzed divivinely." Such fun as was had there is rare. It was real enjoyment. Such au oc casion is seldom seen. The festivity was kept up to a lab' hour. Care was banished, trouble was forgotten, and every man in the room was as gay as a barefooted school-boy. Late at night they all went home in high glee. We are proud of our Fire Depart ment and the whole-souled, gallant men who compose it. Long may it prosper; and may we all live to see many anniver ] saries as pleasant as that of yesterday.
