Tt is hardly probable that any of the fire companies from this city will take part in the contests at the Lockport convention. Bicyclers in many places retard the progress of firemen by \scorching\ ahead of them and accidents are often narrowly averted.

Firemen - desiving badges or name cards printed for the Lockport conven- tion should leave their orders at The Tnion-Sun office. . Thomas Tugby has given Chief Utiz a check for $50 in appreciation of their work at the Park Theatre fire.

Truck No. 6 pulled out at a breakneck speed, the laddermen were putting on their coats, and making ready to fight flames and save human lives from: perishing if needs be, little reckoning that brave hearts would be made to . mourn the loss of a beloved comrade ere truck No. 6 stood in her house again. Truck No. 6 turned into Woltz Avenue and the horses were fairly flying. The warning gong on the truck was sound- ing every second or so, and there could: be no excuse for collisions of any kind. All went well with the truck until Syca- more Street was reached. As the truck was approaching the last named street,. trolley car No. 69 on the Sycamore line night run came spinning down. the street. Both the truck and the trolley LIABILITIES ARE $100,000.

To-day, unless the unexpected hap- pens, the company will make an assign- ment. A. T. Wright, the attorney, will be the assignee.

Gallup and Tower held notes to the amount. of about $5,000, while there were affoat $20,000 in bonds. 'This indebtedness, yhen overdue, was merged into a new issue of $25,000 worth of five year ponds. The transaction gave the scrap iron people increased confidence, and the credit of the Westerman mill had been better recently than ever before, f The rolls will not turn out the bars of iron to-day. *' The only work done about the mill will be the loading on the cars of the finished bars to fill or- ders. This work which can be done better by the compaany than by the assignee, may delay the assignment a few days. The natural course of the assignee will be to dispose of the loose iron and then shut up the mill, possibly to await a favorable sale. Iron men say the Westerman mill has been playing a losing game from the start. Itis said that the machinery is old fashioned and not fitted to com- pete with modern mills. * The unsecured scrap iron men think their claims are hopeless. The crash will leave the stockholders with value: less shares, although the bulk of the floatation are lighted by incandescent lights. A large sign bearing the words \J. D.

I only desire to emphasize what I have said to Lockportians before that the one thing the firemen will expect is a square meal. _ In fact they are in the habit of not sleeping much during con- vention week.\ THE OFFICIAL REPORT.

At the time of the collision the car was running at its utmost speed, and struck the truck with such force as to completely de- molish the heavy piece of fire apparatus.. Motorman Cowan says that he did not hear the truck coming down Woltz Avenue, and did not know that it was, near until it was too late to avoid the crash. | Both Cowan and Conductor Sy- monds were arrested . by Officer Belz. and locked in Station No. 8 to await the aesults of Coroner Kenney's investiga- on. ** LET HER BURN.\ tion Schnecetady 1897.\ THE ATHLETIC EVENTS.
