Local Military Company Anticipates Active Service in Case of Brosh With Spain. Evening Star Bureau, No. 520 King St. (Bell Telephone No. 106.) ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 25, i808. At the meeting of council held Tuesday night Mr. Louis Brill, councilman from the third ward, introduced a resolution that the beard of fire wardens be directed to inquire into the cost of a telegraph fire alarm sys- tem and repert at the next meeting of coun- ul. The resclution was unanimously pass- ed. The men bers of the fire department and a large number of citizens are very zcalous in their efforts to have an electric alarm system cstablished. The city Is di- vided into six fire districts, three north and three rout! of King street, and the alarms are now sounded through the Bell telephone and are very often misleading. A great deal of time is lost often in hunting for the fire, to say rothing of the wear and tear on the horses ard engines in runaing reck- lessiy over the rough cobble street: Some time ago an agent of the Ggmewell Company was in the city and stated that he -culd provide the modern Gamewell electric tem for $3,000, placing: sixteen boxes in rious parts of the city in connection with the town bell and one in either of the engine. houses. Private alarm bells could also be placed at a nominal sum. It is the hepe of the citizens the report of the fire wardens vill be acvepted by coun- il, and that <n appropriation sufficient to Go the work thoroughly will be made. A. L. I: Notified.
