NO ICE- BREAKING TUG. Fire Board Searched the East in Vain. MAY BE ONE IN CHICAGO COMMISSIONERS. WILL. GO THERE.
TO. SEE--NO CITY VISITED HAD ANY POINTERS TO GIVE BUFFALO SO FAR AS FIRE- FIGHTING IS. CERNED. The Fire Commissioners who, with Chief McConnell and Master- Mechanic Owen, went to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington last week to inspect Are- -tugs and storage- battery switchboards, returned to Buffalo yesterday more is away firmly abead convinced of almost than every ever other. city, so far as the Fire Department is concerned.
didn't see a thing anywhere 88 good as what we have said CommisPerson last evening to an Express reporter. Washington we saw working of the storage battery switchboard, one of which has been ordered for Buffato Fire -Department. It is a good thing and will save us lots of money and annoyance. They any fire-tugs in Washington at there 18 no water haven't, front to speak of--that is, there are no buildings of importance located where a fire-tug could reach them, and they have no occasion therefore for such a boat. "What we wanted was to get ideas for boat that would break the thickest ice we ever here harbor and at the same time throw a big stream through the pipe line or directly on to a burning building.
We thought that in Boston and New York, with their exposed water fronts. we would find something of the kind, and we were greatly disappointed that we did not. In New York they have one fireboat that is anywhere near as good as the two we have here already. That tr the Van' wyck. 'It fs a good tug and throws a good stream of water, but is not at all adapted to breaking ice.
The New Yorker, another of their boats. was in dry -dock and we didn't see her. The Seth Low and the rest of their fireboats are simply little tugs with pumps on them. They don't need iceboats because the ferries and the Incoming ocean vessels keep the harbor open all the time, except for floating Ice. Boston we were equally disappointed.
There isn't a boat there 'as good 88 either the Potter or the Hutchinson, and as for breaking Ice with them, they never heard of such a thing. "In Philadelphia and Baltimore they have some pretty good fire-tugs, although not 88 good 88 those which we have, but they have big steamers for breaking ice and these carry no pumps. are informed that in Chicago there la a fire-tug which will plow. its way through 18 or 20 inches of solid ice and. a stream from Its pumps.
We shall go to Chicago next week or the week after and see this vessel. It it does not meet our expectations, we- shall have to devise something entirely new. The City bas given us $75,000 to build an icebreaking fire steamer with, and we want the best vessel of its kind that can be that can go anywhere at any time and keep the pipe-lines busy. We expect to ask soon for an appropriation for new pipe line up Pearl Street and an extension of the Washington Street through either Carroll Street or Seneca Street to Michigan Street, and we with need another boat, and a big one, to look after these new lines.

A minute later, when the car stopped at the Main Street entrance to the Buffalo Athletic' Field, the was gone. A small boy, who stood Dear the doctor, told him of it, and, pointing to a young man, who just stepped off the car. said: "That feller just took out of your tie." That.
was the first intimation Dr. How. ard bad of the disappearance of the pin. At Jefferson Street the car had taken on big crowd of persons, who had left the Athletic Field at the close of the races and had stopped to take on some more at this point. The doctor recalled that while be was standing in the threshold of the back door of the car, the young man who was pointed out to him by the boy bad been crowding up close to him.
So, after feeling his scarf and finding his pin really WAS gone. he jumped off after. the young man and grabbed him. "He's got It in his hand," said the boy, 88 the doctor was hastening to leave the car. So when the doctor grabbed the young man he demanded to see what was in his bands.
"You stole my pin," he added. "No, 1. me, if you want," replied the young man, throwing both bands in the air. The doctor looked in wide -open palms and saw no pin. He called to the boy who had tipped him, and the lad hurried off the car, which had not yet started.
The boy repeated his accusation before the young man, but the latter still protested his innocence. A crowd gathered and Sergt. Hurley of the Sixth Precinct came. Dr. Howard turned the prisoner over to him.
He was taken to Police Station No. 6, where be registered as Timothy Shay, 26 years old, a bartender. A search of his pockets did not bring the pin to tight, and the police concluded that he had thrown it away when be threw his hands into the air and offered to let the doctor search him.

He must have done it very slick and quick, for I was watching him all the time. But I seen it in his hand when he took it down and let it hang by his side." Capt. Cable put the prisoner through a sever cross -examination. said his home is in Cleveland; that. he was in this city last Friday, that he went to Toledo last Saturday and came back here yesterday inoruing.
He was on his way to Hamilton. to attend the horse races, which he says he follows when he has nothing else to do; and stopped off in this city to see the races. He got on the car at Jetferson Street. When asked why he had got off so suddenly, after riding but halt a block, he said: "The car was so crowded I couldn't get a seat and I made up my mind I wasn't going to stand all the way downtown."

Bicycles have played havoc with the lake be and river excursion business and the popular pastime of the day is wheeling, whereit once was a trip up the lake or down as, the river. In spite of that fact, however, thousands of persons went up the lake yesterday: The steamer Puritan of. the Crystal Beach Steamboat Company was loaded to her full capacity op almost every trip. The greatest crowd, however, went on the Puritan about 3 in the afternoon, when It was necessary refuse up to large number of persons for passage fear of overcrowding the boat. The day was fine, wind stirred up sea that made many of the excursionists dizzy.
Everyone wanted to remata at Crystal Beach till the last boat departed and when the Puritan reached her dock late last night it was as if the population of a small city had suddenly been deposited at the foot of Main Street. A great crowd of persons also went down the river. The steamer Silver Spray made several trips to the Bedell House on Grand Island. Silver Spray's dock at the foot of Ferry Street, which was almost as lively yesterday afternoon as was the foot of Main Street. The excursion business opened well and if the crowds the boats carried yesterday are any criterion.
the business of this year will exceed that of last, in spite of the popularity of the bicycle. WATER PAIL AND AX. THOSE WEAPONS WERE USED BY MICHAEL RADKOWSKI AND SEVERAL OF THE VOLINSKIS. It began when Mre. Volinsk! emashed Michael Radkowski over the bead with water pall.
Trouble bad been brewing for some time and that, proceeding on the part of Mrs. Volinski opened hostilities. The Volinakis live at No. 190 Colt. Street and Radkowski is (or was) their boarder.
He had been asked to move, but he refused to do so. After the water pail had performed its mission, Radkowaki leisurely went into the woodshed and got the family ax. He stole up behind Mrs. Volinski and swung at ber with it. but, at the proper moment, she screamed and Radkowski's nerve a failed a and his aim was poor.
Thereupon, Felix Volinski, the fifteen- year -old son of Mrs. Volinskin, went to the assistance of his mother and arrived at her side just in time to stop a blow from the ax that Radkowski had almed at her. The blade glanced across the side of his head. leaving a lid of scalp hanging over his ear. Joseph Volinski at that juncture felt that he should have a part in the troubles, 60 he made a sally at Radkowski.
After recelving one scalp wound he gained possession of the ax and swung it in Radkowski's direction. Radkowski received two scalp wounds and was in a good position to receive some choice blows when Patrolman Purdy of the Eighth Precinct appeared in the house. He separated the fighters and arrested them all except Mrs. Volinski. Their wounds were dressed at Police Station No: 8, 'after which the three were locked up on the charge of disorderly conduct.

BEATEN BY GIRL'S: FATHER KIEWICZ FAMILY TIRED OF MUSIC AT MIDNIGHT AND THE BARD WAS SI. LENCED ONLY TO BE ARRESTED AS POLICEMAN THOUGHT HIM BURGLAR.
"John Klowski of No. 80 bathrop -Street sometime ago met Christine Kiewies, eighteen years old, who lives with her parents at No. 131 Detrolt Street, and he fell in love with her, He, being a teacher of guitar and zither playing and having remnant of oldtime chivalry in his makeup, decided against the conventional methods of wooing. The objections of the Kiewicz girl's parents to his presence in their house may have been the prompting cause of this decision, but, in any event, instead of calling at the house, the young man made a practice of appearing every few nights beneath the window of his sweetheart and playing to her on a guitar or, if he bad his zither, of singing to her. Christine encouraged this conduct up to a week ago.
Then she turned against it. 1 and ceased to appear at her window when Klowski an beneath it. To reach his position beneath the window, Klow hi had to travel through several backyarde, brave the dangers of several dog kennels and take chances on being mistaken for a burglar and shot. He survived all and on Monday night soon after midnight he appeared at his old place. as bopeful and as musical as ever.
The first faint picking of the guitar strings brought no response from above and the. made the notes louder, For ten mine utes there were no signs of life within, or, excepting Klowski, without. But at length a rear door opened quietly and the figure of Peter Klewiez, clad in a shirt and a pair of slippers, stood majestically in the moonlight. It was a weird and picturesque scene and Klowski was 80 enrapt with it that he forgot to play his instrument.In an instant the picture ended. Kiewicz had made a rush for the musical wooer.
He came full upon him, knocked him down, kieked him a few times, made wreck of the guitar, rolled him over in mud puddle and left him. Looking to see that the guitar was destroyed and satisfying himself by planting his foot through it, Klewicz entered the house and closed the door after him. Klowski had arisen and was swearing at several things when Patrolman Matot, of the Eighth Precinct appeared around the corner of the building. noise of the fight had attracted him. He seized Klowski and Klowski had difficulty in convincing the officer that he (Klowski) was not a burglar.
The humiliated suitor was locked up on the charge of disorderly conduct and yesterday morning was arraigned before Justice who, having pity on him, suspended sentence. OBITUARY. James Van Valkenberg.
