Lewis Buried Social Events Republican Club Nominates and Royal Arcanum Elects Now Offloors Offlcer Marker en VEesy Mark" Notes, There was a fire on the West Side yesterday.

Fortunately it did little damage, but it miglrt have been more disastrous. It occurred in the dwelling house of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiss at North Bromley avenue at 1:30 o'clock in the afteraoon, and was caused by a small child, who had been playing with matches. How the little one obtained the matches is not explained, but during the absence of Mrs.

Geiss, who was busy in another part of the building, the bedding of the cradle, near which the child was amusing itself, became ignited and was rapidly being consumed when by the stifling odor of smoke the flames were discovered. An alarm was sent out from box No. u.i on Swetland street, a half block distant, which brought to the scene the Columbia Hose and Chemical comlbi nation wagon and the Franklin engine. Their services were not needed, however, as the flames jvere extinguished by a few pails of water before the arrival of the Are companies. The team of horses in service by the Columbia company, acknowledged to be considerably too light in weight for the heavy truck, managed to ascend the steep hills en route to the fire without any apparent difficulty.

At 0 o'clock his attention was attracted to a horse which was lying attached to a wagon on the "acan't lot at Main avenue and Price street. The animal was placed on its feet, and with the wagon was taken to James Wymbs' barn on Jackson street for safe keeping. Soon after the owner of the animal came to the barn, and after representing himself as one of Mr. Wymbs' hostlers he told Officer Marker that he had secured Mr. Wymbs' permission to regain the horse and wagon, whereupon ithe man was allowed to depart with the same without paying for the care of the animal.

The feelings of the innocent patrolman can 'be better imagined, when upon meeting Mr. Wymbs a feu hours later ho was informed by the latter thait he knew nothing of the transaction and had not even seen the unknown, slick owner of the horse and wagon. Now Officer Marker, one of the best natured and most prepossessing custodians of the local force, is the butt of ridicule by his fellow knights of the locust and jocular friends.
