If you are going to fall on a slippery walk and break your arm or leg, you must give the city 48 hours notice. If the bridge is going to fall, or an ac­cident like the Dixon Is going to oc-•cur, or a waterpipe bursts and floods your premises, you must give the city 48 hours notice in writing, if you ex­pect to collect damages. If the may­or know® of a dangerous spot and all the aldermen and all the boards, the city does not know it until you send it a 48 hours notice in writing!

who stopped the big fire in the large paper mill are deserving of high praise. About one-fourth of the big mill was destroyed. But what of the men in the mill? While the fire was raging and the whole village was threatened, the machinery was kept running, then a temporary roof was put on the burned boiler house, and the *plant continued turning out tons of paper .

When discovered, the fire was burning fiercely in the attic and on the roof in the rear of the building. It is the supposition that the fire originated in a little room In the attic, occupied by George John­son, the janitor of. the building and also of the entire church property.

Considerable difficulty was expert enced in fighting the fire from the fact that the pressure from the water system was taken from a hydrant] connected with a four-inch main in front of the firemen's hall. The steamer was immediately pressed in­to service but had to be shut down after a little time, because it worked itself hot, due it is thought to poor packing.

The flames were largely confined by the slate roof of the building. Portions of the roof and the celling)

are expecting to return home soon.

The wind was in an easterly direction and no buildings caught fire. From the fact that a| steady rain had faTlen, the surround­ing buildings were not damaged. Be­fore" the fire was under control, the entire roof and the second floor were badly consumed "and the lower floor damaged by floods of water.

The building waB erected in 1885, and is a fine, large two-story brick building. The school was in flourishing condition, about 275 pupils being in attendance, and was taught by the Sisters of St Joseph..

PATRIOTIC ELKS.

Already Arranging for a Big Time the Glorious Fourth.

If thers 's any thing in the theory. that its the early bird that gets the worms, the Elks of this city ought to be able to secure the best of at­tractions and be assured of a big crowd on the Fourth of July. Water-town Lodge has a committee of fifteen a ta work on plans for a rous­ing old celebration and the committee understands that its task will not he done until after the "Good Night" piece of fireworks has been touched off.

The tentative outline drawn in­cludes a great military parade, par­ticipated in by United States, New York state and Canadian troops, headed by some of the best bands oa either side of the St. Lawrence. This is projected as the feature of the morning programme, -and steps will be immediately taken to secure the attendance of such organizations as the committee has in view.

During the afternoon the attractions at the Fair -grounds will be field sports, track events and athletic con­tests, including wrestling by heavy* weights of the champion class, a. match of lacrosse between crack Canadian teams' and a shooting tonJP-nament for a silver trophy to be of­fered by Loren R. Johnson. And, of course, there will be fireworks in the evening, probably in Public Square.. Assured of plenty of money to spend. the committee purposes to arrange a celebration of magnitude.
