FIRE ESCAPUS. Editor of Time Visitor: The Times-Visitor recently quered on the fire escape ordinance. Yesterday Dr. Roysttr mentioned it at a meeting of the Board of Health and Dr. McKee said Metropolitan Hall had been con demned because of absence of fire es capes. Yet Metropolitan Hell Is used and no effort is made by the city author ities to provide the fire escapes. Here is another lack of interest on the part of aldermen in the safety ot the life of our cltiiens. This is an important matter and should have immediate attention. Is there a fire escape on the building eccupied by Messrs. Hdiwards and Broughton and their hundred or more frmpIoyesY Is there a lire escape to the building where Mr. E. M. Uszell and bis force of people work? Is there a fire escape or a window large enough for a mau or woman to get out of about the Academy of Music? Is there fire escape to the Henry Building Capital Club building or in fact any building in Raleigh where there are frequent gather ings) of onr people? A. A PRIVATE'S SOU AD ADVICE.

The next matter to decide is which is the rightful board of directors, the fu sion board or the Democratic board? However, nearly all the power Is In (fee hands of the superintendent and the Democratic hoard can do nothing if Capt. Day opposed it.

The Fusion politicians dalm that Capt. Day-can get the -funds to- run the peat entlary. Capt. Day said last night: "I will to my best to make the penitential- pay and save the State all I can.

BLAKES REPORT The Sir. et Cnmmiss'oner on fhe Oily Wafer Works Construction 'Street Commissioner Blake Who was ippointed by the city to superintend ts construction says the work at the wa er works has been well done and will irevent further trouble from acid An amination. His official report to the loard of Aldermtn is below set out: t'o the Hon. Mayor and Board of Alder men of the city of Raleigh, N. C.: Gentlemen: In pursuance of your or ler of March 11, 1899, I beg to submit he following report concerning the work ione by the Raleigh Water Company, in hanging its pipe line, so as to avoid the nntamination of the city water supply y sulphuric acid at the Caralelgh Phos hate Mills. (1.) The company adopted a route for "s pipe line which is in my opinion free 10m all danger of acid contamination, !nce it is on the opposite side of the reek from the mills, and I am sure hat the new pipe has been placed at a u.cient distance from the creek bank 0 prevent any danger of exposure by the vasbing away of said bank, the distance eing nowhere less than twenty five eet. (2). While the work was in progress, I pent as much of my time thtre as was ossible, having been there at least once nd generally twice each day. The ma erial used, except where the line cross d the creek, is the best quality of eigh een inch terra cotta pipe, joined with 'ortland cement mortar about one to ne. The line crosses the creek wirh rty feet of eighteen inch cast ron pipe with leaded joints. The sand iits on eithir side of the creek are xet veil back from the banks and their oundatious are exec.ent, being almost ntirely of solid rock. The bottom of he ditch furnished n very much better uundation for the terracotta pipe than ' expected to find. It is nearly all the vay a pebbly or gravelly clay, some of t being coarse gravel, in only one or wo short places was the bottom found 0 be of mud and here grout was nsed. The work was done according to the iirvey and plans of Prof. W. C. Rlddick nd was under the constant and Imme liate supervision of Mr. Geo. F. Syme, cting uuder Prof. Ri. ck's instrue- ions. For this reason, as well as from iy own observations, I feel safe in aying that the work has been done In 1 substantial and workman-like manner. Tne new line has been completed and onnection with it made, and in the fu- ure will in my opinion give the city as ure water as the creek will supply with ut any contamination from acid or other -a uses from the Prosphate Mills. In conclusion permit m to say that he Water Company has In doing this . k done everything suggested to make It perfect regardluess of expense. Respectfully submitted, W. Z. BLAKE, Street Commissioner. NORTH CAROLINIANS HURT. One in Critical Condition Row Be tween Tarheel and Virginia Troops. Savannah, Ga , April 10. Private James M unlock, of Company E. First North Carolina Regiment, is at the Gov ernment Hospital in a critical condition. Private Cook, of the same regiment, end company, Is also at the hospital comidsr ably bruised. Both men were Injured yesterday afternoon near Avondale rimce by three members of the Fourth Virginia Regiment. It seems there was a n larnd and fight participattd in by several North ' Carolina and Virginia men, each party taking sides. The men were more cr lesa under the influence of liquor. One of the Virginia men got hold of a hsavy railway fishplate. With this he struck Mrrrdnok. and while he was down pounded bim into insencibility before he conld be .wcticd by his friends. Cook attempted to r.id Murdock in his fight, and was badly used up. Three Virginians have been Hrrented, hut the officers will not give their names. Murdock is likely to die from Ma n ju ries. Cook Is not badly hurt. There is considerable hard feeling b.'twtn tbe North Carolina and Virginia resimiui on account of the row. BLACK PATTI TROBADOURS TO NIGHT. Ernest Hogan Black Patti Tnraba dours' leading comedian, is credited with biing responsible for more laughter than any comedian of the present time. He is the greatest comedian of hi color and if it were not for the accident of race he would be reason of his talent command as much public attention as that accorded to Nat Goodwin or Francis Wilson. Ae It is Hogan la perfectly content with his condition and surround ings and savings. 1 As a rule star artists are supported by inferior performers but in this instance "Black Patti' lias re verstd the order of things by uaving only the very beat available talent in her company, which haa doubtless con tributed materially to its pbenoiBcnal success.
