When he awoke the next morning about 8 o'clock his beart was beating like a trip-hammer, and his nerves were so unsteady that_he could scarcely button his clothes.

Chief Engincer Butler, ot the city fire department, has just completed his fifth annual report, to be submitted to the mayor and council at the beginning of the fiseal year. The document is a com- prehensive one, and contains many facts of general interest to the public. Mr. Butler starts out with the assertion that he has no complaint to make.on account of the city water works company, al- though there are a number of hyd which have been put in more for p: accommodation than for fire protection. The hydrants number 439, and are main- tained at a yearly expense of $31,08. Of these there are over 100 which are not necessary for Qfire purposes. There is not sufficient pressure for fire protection in the southwest part of the v, where there are twenty-five or thirty nts, and an engine has been put in service in that locality because the city water works compuny cannot, with its present system, give the required pres- sure, notwithstanding its contract 50 to do with the .
