Interesting Facts From Old Records in Their Possession. THE COLUMBIA COMPANY. Incidents in Its History From Its Formation im 1804—Reorganized After the War of 1812—Some Prominent Citizens Whose ‘Names Are Found on Its Roll. As stated in last Saturday's Stam there were several tire companies organized in the fall of 1804, and during the war of 1812 they dis- banded, to be revived after the close of the war. ‘The Coluzabia Company on Capitol Hill was one of these, and during the sixty years pre- ceding the organization of the present system, with the exception of the hiatus during the war of 1812,it existed almost continuously under that name. Prior to that war it is stated that the apparatus was kept in a small frame build- ing of one story about on the site of the statue of Washington, east of the main portico of the Capitol, and this was destroyed by fire when the British burned the Capitol. REORGANIZED 1N 1815. That it was reorganized in 1815 is certain, but the books and papers of the company were destroyed in the destruction of the residence of John T. Frost, the secretary. by fire in 1817. ‘Among the archives resurrected by the Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s Association are the books of the Columbia, dating back to January, 1918. ‘The entry of this date states “Ata meeting of the citizens of the third ward at Queen's Hotel for the purpose of forming a fire company Mr. Daniel Kapine was called to the chair und John P. Ingle appointed secretary, and they were appointed a committee to prepare articles for the government of the assuciation. ‘These ar- ticles were reported, considered, amended end years after in the District and the delegates from the companies of that town met those of the city and Georgetown companies in conven- tion to memorialize Congress to exempt mem- bers of fire companies from military duty in time of peace and to give companies power to enforce obedience to their rules by fines and forfeitures and to enforce their collection. ‘This convention met on Janupry 23 and adopted & memorial to Congress on the subject. ‘The five Alexandria companies—f'riendship, San, Star, Relief and Hydraulian—were represented, with the Columbia, Franklin, Washington, Phos nix, First Ward, Columbian, Vigilant and Eagle. Congress complied with the request to exempt firemen from military duty and for some years the certificates of membership in the company rocited the exemption. A NEW CONSTITUTION ADOPTED. On April 25, 1897, new constitution was adopted and the company reorganized under Col. C. K. Gardner, and numbers of the old members continued on the roils, amon Col. James A. Tait, for many years pr and P. W.

To the Editor of The Evening In your issue of this evening a correspondent expresses himself as being in favor of having the turkey for our national emblem instead of the eagle. How could a barn-yard fowl which grovels in the dust, as it were, for his living, whose only ambition is to make a glutton of himself and which has, in fact, no soaring qualities for us to emulate, inspire us with the dopted. ‘They provided, besid ent, fe for the election cf eight engiueers, four axmen, four lsddermen, six sen- tinels and’ four house or furniture men, a total of twenty-six men. The engineer's duties were to take charge of the engine and apparatus, on every just alarm to have the engine brought to the place of fire and afterward, at the expense of the company, safely return it to the engine house,” &c. ‘Ihw sentinels were charged with the safe keeping of property re- moved from fires and keeping unknown and suspicious characters from entering houses on fire. The president, vice presideut, secretary and treasurer were the house or furniture men, Those duty was to move property ae it to the sentinels or place it in safe places. In cage of a fire in the third ward the property of members or contributors to the company were always to have decided preference and their services were to be rendered in any part of the city. ‘THE OFFIcERS 1x 1818.

At the meeting March 3, 1519, resolution was adopted looking to the adoption with other companies of a plan of signaling at mght the location of fires. ‘The president and vice presi- dent were appointed a commitiee to wait on the President of the United States in the event of Congress purchasing engiaes and inform bum that the company would take charge of that de- signed for the protection of the Capitol.

Among those in attandance was the late Simeon Mattocks, who had been a member of the com- pany in 1804, and who lived to see the present department organized in service.

Vatranaiso, Cure, Dec. 25.—Admiral Jorge Montt was procksimed as president of the re- public in every town and city in the country today. Elaborate preparations are being made in Santiago for the inauguration ceremonies to- morrow. Two regiments of troops from the south arrived in that city yesterday, and they, with a battalion of sailors, will act as a body guard to President Montt during the ceremony. It is proposed to proclaim a general amuesty tomorrow toali the minor military and naval officials who served under Balmaceda. The amnesty will not, however, extend to officers above the rank of major, to ministers of state, judges, counsellors, members of congress, gov- ernors or cthers who are particularly promi- nent. Active measures have been taken to prevent any outbreak or uprising on the prt of the Balmacedists tomorrow. Valasques was brought here from Santiago ad handed over to the intendente. once placed on board the war ship Cochrane for safe keeping. This action has given rise to the idea that the government believes Valasques was at the head of a plot to cause trouble during the insugural ceremonies. ‘The reason given for his arrest is that several persons were caught Weduestay night convey- ing Manlicher rifles into his house. A search of the house resulted in the discovery of other rifles. It is announced that the government iutends to build more war ships. Thompson, the cor- respondent of the London Jimes, who is the agent of the Armstrongs, has ctlered to sell to Chile a sbip of the Esmeralda type. of 4,000 tons, with aspeed of tweuty-oue miles, for £200,000.

HUNTING THE BANDITS, Oklahoma Infested With Thieves, Who Are Now to Be Exterminated, Ever since the opening of Oklahoma territory the people have been troubled Ly the depreda- tions of outlaws, who were at first supposed to be Indians, but who have since been discovered to be white men and half-breeds who swarmed in to take advantage of the op ortunity for plunder. The mountains and heavily timbered river bottoms afford a shelter for these thieves, where they are almost absolutely safe from pursuit. The United States marshals have been almost powerless, and, while they have oveasionally captured one of the felons, the bandits have more than rvened the score, fifteen oflicershaving been murdered within the past two years by these outlaws. This state of affairs has been growing worse from week to week and the United States ofti- cialy have determined to make a regular cam- paizn against the outlaws in the territory.Hcre- tofore the work has been done by one or two men ata time, but now there will be a regular advance by as many deputies as can be pressed into service, and, if necessary, the govern- ment troops will be called upou for assistance. ‘The campaign will be pushed in such a mauner that the whole portion of the territory infested by the robbers will be caretully searched and wherever there is the slightest resistance offered with arms the mou +0 resisting will be shot down before they can murder the officers. It is estimated by the marshals that there are now within the limits of the territory not less than 1.000 men who are making their living by depredations on the setilers, and itis these men the officials are atver. ———_+e+ —____ Cheering News for Foot Ball Players, From the Boston Transcr:pt. “Athletic lung” isa medical term used to designate the abnormal development of lung Posvessed by some athletes, ‘The condition is produced by those forms of exercise that call for the coustant use of the lungs at their high- est power. ‘The result is an enormous develop- ment of lung capacity.

From the official report given out by Third Vice President Webb of the Contral road train No. 98, which left New York at 6:40 p.m. Thurs- day nigit,stopped at Dobbs’ Ferry to makeslight repairs on the engine. The distant signal was thrown out, and the following train,the Buffalo and Niagara Falls special, which left here at 7:30 p.m., was stopped about three-quarters of a mile south of Dobbs’ Ferry station, The conductor of No. 45 immediately sent Brakeman Herrick back to signal the coming train. He proceeded as far as the station at Hastings. He went inside and talked with the station master, waiting for the Cincinnati and St. Louis express No. 7, which left this city at 8 o'ctock. While Herrick was standing near the door the St. Louis express whizzed past, running at the rate of forty miles an hour. Engineer J, Donohue of the St. Louis express received no warning whatever of the presence of the Buffalo express on the track ahead until he was almost on the track. He reversed lis engine, put on the air brakes and jumped for his Lite.

While midnight mass, in colebration of the Christmas festival, was being performed yes- terday inachurch in the city of Valencia, four bombs were expioded in the edifice in rapid succession. ‘The congregation were for a time paralyzed by fear, and a number of the many lights burning in the church were ex- tinguished. The aftrighted worehipers when they had somewhat recovered from the shock caused by the explosion commenced to utter shrieks and loud cries for help and « wild rush was made for the doors. The church was filled with smoke and dust, adding greatly to the alarm and confusion.

ANASTUY CONFESSES. Ho Describes How He Murdered Baroness Dellara. Lieut. Anastuy, who is under arrest for the murder of the aged Baroness Dellard in Paris, has justified the conviction of the police that he is the murderer by confessing that be com- mitted the crime, ‘The baroness, it appears by the evidence sub- mitted by the police, was at about 4 0 clock in the afternoor of December 4 seated in the saion of her apartment on the first floor of the large and fully mbabited house which she occupied with her son at No. 42 Boulevard du Temple, close to the Place de I Concorde. Baronees Dellard was the daughter of a general of the first empire, the widow of acolonel of cuirassiers of the guard and was seventy-two years of age. She is described as a tall and stately old lady, with snow-white hair and was heldin much Tespect and esteem: by her neighbure. Her son, Baron Dellard, holds and important posi- tion on the clerical stuff of the miuister of war N. de Freycibet. He ixabout forty years old, retired army officer and a Knight of the Legion of Honor. ‘The assassin timed his visitso as to find the baroness alone in her apartments. He cut her throat withalaze knife and was about leaving with his booty when the servant, a strong country girl, returned. He concealed himself and made an attack onher with the knife, stabbing her in the breast and throat. She knocked the knife fiom his hands and ‘The assassin escaped throug a court yard and disappeared in the :rowd he streets. The lieutenant now under arrest was re- tired, not entirely on his own free will, from the infantry regiment to which he belonged about two days before the Baroness Dellard was murdered The prisoner was arrested in a cafe where he was enjoying himself with some of his associates, Lieut, Anastuy is said to be a former friend of Baron Deliard. The police have in their porsession a kid glove dropped by the murderer and the knife, of English make aud stamped with the initials F. ML, with which the crime was com- mitted, Itis the distinguished position which the murdered baroness oceupied and the brave doings of her ancesters and relatives and the position in society which both she and her son occupied, coupled with the bold, cold-blooded audacity with which the crime was committed in the daytime in a fully inhabited house in a populous and fashionable neighborhood, which ve caused Paris, France, and even Europe at large, to take the greatest possible interest in the case. ‘The ease with which the murderer escaped caused a perfect panic among the upper and middle class population of Paris, who began to imagine that they were no longer safe from such attacks. ——_———cee_--____ RESCUED BY HER BROTHER, Agnes Everhart’s Narrow Escape From Being Kidnaped.

A riot, which at one time threatened to be @ most bloody one, took place yesterday after- noon as the outcome of @ horse race on one of the streets of Chicago. A crowd of several bun- dred, males and females, white and black, as sembled in Custom House place to celebrate. ‘The street was turned into a race course, shot from a revolver being the “starter” sig- nal. ‘Iwo races in quick succession had been run, aud a third was being started, when a squid of policemen arrived. "At the same time a general fight was commenced in a neighbor- ing saloon, and bullets came crashing through | the windows, : Two officers in citizens clothing gained en- trance to the saloon, and, being recognized, the ery went up, “Lock the doors and kill the officers,” and at the same time the key was turned’in the lock. Bucking into a corner, the officers drew their revolvers, faced the ugly crowd and threatened to shoot ‘the first man who moved. ‘Their nerve paralyzed the crowd for a moment, and by that time the other officers burst open the saloon doots and rescued their comrades. The crowd was determined not to leave tae saloon, but after a dorperate struggle the officers emerged from the place, each with a fighting, struggling, desperate prisoner. A patrol wagou was waiting near by, and de- spite the efforts of the crowd in the street, who sympathized with the prisoners, the officers succeeded in landing the prisoners in the wagon. While not a shot was fired by the offi- cers, they were forced te keep up a running fight in the neighborhood, using their revoly- ere as billies, As the wagon was moving away a burly negro nan.ed Kobert Johuson sprang forward and shouted to the crowd, “Come on, let's take them away and kill thed—d coppers.” He was knocked down by a blow from & revolver and unceremoniously thrown into the wagon. With drawn revolvers the way was cleared for the wagon to pass through the crowd, the prisoners constantly struggling for freedom. ‘The whole crowd followed the wagon to the Harrison strect station, but despite a last desperate struggle the wagon load of prisoners were safely pisced behind the bark “Other officers arriving the crowd dispersed. ‘TWO SAD Cases.

Nobody in America has quite mastered the | artof folding fans. That difficult art has been developed best in the fine French fans that are for sale at prices ranging from €30 to @100 spicce. In « folded fun the edges of all the sticks should be parallel and even, the shoulders should be of equal height, and the silken body should be snugly and evenly disposed within the inclosing sides. A French fan maker, unique anong his fellows, having mastered the whole art of fan making, came to this country not many years ago und was employed by famous firm to make fans, He took charge of a factory and was told to go alcad. He was rupplied with skilled workmen and not uncom- fortably limited as to expenditure. Fore few years the factory turned out execllent fans. Even the folding was well done. Then the head workman died, and it was feared that with him had almost perished the art of fan foidin in this country, but he left his secret bebin m. It was a very simple secret, the tools ng primitive enough and the process appar- ently not cificult, but as the whole art lies in the deleate manipulation that comes of long prace tice, his place ins never really been filled by those to whom he imparted his secret. Fan painting of the fiuer kind is almost as little practiced in this conutry as fan folding. ‘The same firm that employed the French workman sought high aud low in New York for @ fan painter until a young woman with undoubted artistic gent She b: just sold a painting for large sum, and she Was asked to paint three fans. No limitations in regard to subject, time or price were fixed. In the course of time the work was done, but it never saw the light. Her genius was not for fan painting. Most of the finer fans sold here are made in Parisand in three or four suburban villages near by. No fan maker knows the whole art All the workers in one village make sticks; those in another fold; those 1m a third sup the bows that hold the sticks together. muking of the upper sticks wo trade by itself, After ail the parts have been made they are sent to the great factories in Paris to be put to- gcther. A tan maker begins bis apprenticeship im childhood. The tools are few and simple. Most of the carving and tiligree work is made with chisel or scroll saw. ‘The pattern, traced on paper, is pasted on the piece ot bone or ivory or wood from which the fan stick is to be made and the filigree is rapidly cut with a saw. ‘Tortoise shell sticks are made ty special ers in shells, That is a difficult, delicate and well-paid art. A few skillful shell workers are in New York, and they are among the best- paid artisans, ‘The costly part of fine fans is the painting, No wonder the American youug woman failed in her untutored attempt at the delicate art. ‘Unly @ few very clever artiste in Paris have attained reputation us fan painters, and “great master in oils would not dare risk bis name in such work. Detaille has painted @ few faus with Lis characteristic military igures and one of the fans was sold in New York for = great sum. But Dewille seldom essays such work. Le Loire painted a fan that was sold an New York for =6,000, Madeleine Lemaire occasionally paints a fan, but it is seldom used except for wall decoration. Her prices for such work are from €8,000 to $5,000. ‘There is a bost of comparatively unknown artists whose work, excelicut in ite way, is ween on fans that cost from $10 to €150. of them sign assumed names to their work, and all are the hacks of the Parisian trade. ‘The really famous fan painters of Europe are Albert, Chessevicre, Houghton, Engene Ci- ceri and Lawsullez. “Albert is « painter of min- javures aud his training show * work om fans. His figures have a remarkable beauty of finish, Cheeseviore is strong in costumes. He delights in depicting gay groups of Paris jans. “Houghton s work is noticeable for deli- cate finish." Ciceri is almost alone in painting Alpine scenes. He will cover the whole face @ fan with a great Alpine landscape and one easily recognizable by those famuliar with ti Alps. Lasalle is peculiarly rich in coloring. Fans painted by these artists are sold for ¢125 to £500 each ‘The cheaper fans are painted by wholesale, Along strip of silk or other material is tacked toe board, many fans are outlined upon it and then huif a dozen painters paint the same sub- ject on each tan, euch painter laying a particu- iar color on the whole wet.

Many of the cheaper fans, ranging as low as €5 or &6 each, are ornamented with painted flowers, the work of unknown artista.
