CITIZENS COMPANY BUYS BACK ITS OLD CARRIAGE The old parade hose carriage of the Citizen's Fire Company has once more returned to its own, the title passing from the West Side Company to the local company this week. The carriage, will be kept only as a reminder of the good old days, when a firemen's convention and its accompanying parade was the one pleasure in a fireman's life worth living for.

The carriage has seen active service with the West Side Company, of Steel ton, for the last several years, but became insufficient for the needs of that section of Steelton and a chemical wagon was purchased and will be formally received to night. Originally the old carriage was silver mounted with reel, three German silver bells and hub bands and gears. At times it was used for active service, but only after the expensive silver mountings had been removed or protected. It was never kept on the first, floor, hut always in the parlor and to do this, it had to be taken apart and carried up a narrow stairway. When purchased, the wagon cost $1,5000, but was sold to Steelton for $S5.

WILL NOT TALK PEACE UNTIL KUR0PATKIN WINS London, Aug. 27. The Associated Press learns in connection with the revival of the rumors of mediation that Emperor Nicholas only recently announced in the most positive terms that he would not permit peace negotiations even should Port Arthur fall and General Kuropatkin be driven back to Harbin. This fact, well understood in official circles, has prevented the British government from taking any steps in the direction of mediation. It is known here that Germany understands this attitude of the Emperor as well as Great Britain and other Powers.

Therefore the reports from Paris that Emperor William is prepared to suggest peace is dismissed as groundless, for the present at least. If General Kuropatkin, however, should win a decisive victory at Liao Yang, which in a measure would re store Russian prestige, it is believed here that the restoration of peace would undobutedly be materially FREIGHT CREW STANDING Philadelphia Division Followine is the standing of the Phila delphia division crews in this city with the 139 crew to po nrst atter t.w r. 11. 177. 125.
