And No Water to Put It Out With. enn THREE LARGE HOUSES BURNED THIS APTERNOON. f acento eeta The Loss Estimated to be Close to Seven Thousand Dollars. Abonat half past three o’clock this afternoon a fire started in the kitchen. of Thomas Penrose’s house on upper Pine street, and although the firemen were quick: to respond to the alarm the flames spread so rapidly that when the fire boys reached the scene the entire building was ina blaze. C. E. Mulloy’s team took the hose cart of Pennsylvania Engine Company _No. 2‘in tow, but when a point in front of the burning building was reached one of the horses became so badly frightened that he laid down. The heat was intense and in a few moments the cover of the wagon was on fire. Attempts were made to get the hose éart The killed are: out but the heat drove back the fire. finally removed. The hose was badly scorched and the cart dumaged consid. } ably. One of Mulioy’s horses was taken to} a place of safety without much trouble, but the_other refused to get up for some time and it was then with great difficulty’ that Stephen Roberts and John White managed to get him beyond the fire’s reach. There was no water in the main pipe at the time and consequently the fire bad full sway. The firemen and citi-} zens carried furniture and other effects ; from the burning bouses and attempted . to prevent the flames from spreading . by using buckets of water but the lat-. ter had little effect. The two houses owned by Edwin} Tilley, adjoining the Penrose house, . were soon blazing. rAfter a while a gate was turned on somewhere and a weak stream. was ob-. tained from this source. One stretch of hose was brought} from East Broad streét througb lots; end across the creék to Pine street. The other stretch was attached to the bydrant in front of Lincoln schoolbonse. With the aid of these small streams. the firemen succeeded" in saving McFall’s and J. C. Locklin’s yeaidenese:. Owing to the fact that connections were'being made with the new system the water had been turned off from the main. LOSSES. Thomas Penrose, house and farniture, $1400. Edwin Tilley, two-houses, $2400. Thomas Polmere, furniture, $800. William McKinlay, furniture, $1000. Henry Martin, furniture, $500. Furniture and other things carried from houses that did not burn were badly damaged. About half of the hosé on the cart of Pennsylvania Engine Company No, 2 was burned so badly that it is useless. The cart was also quite badly damaged. It was reported that an infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Penrose had been left in the house, but. this proved to be a mistake. Fencing, sidewalks and electric light poles in the immediate vicinity were burned. The current was shut off from the wires as soon as the poles took fire. The houses of B. Locklin and D. MeFaull caught fire from cinders several times, but the flames were qiiénéhed bv the aid of buckets of water. A-cinder from/the firé was carried upon the top of ‘Mra. Valantine’s house on Main street and the roof set on fire. The blaze was quickly extinguished by parties in the neighborhood. A SECOND ALARM. ing set afire the roof of Thomas.H.

State Forces to Be Only Only Half Their Former Strength. Governor Budd, Adjutant General Barrett and Major General Dickinson are authority for the statement that the National Guard of California is soon to be reorganized. And the plans of these officiale may surprise some of the men who had hoped to become officera of the new guard. There can be no definite steps, however, until the government .reimburses the Stete for all clothing, equipments, went into the volunteer service. As soon as this money is turned into the guard fuhd a -portion of it will be used to purchase new uniforms and equipments for the new National Guard, which, according to the present plan, will be only half, or less than half, the size it was before the President called for volunteers. Only half the number of companies authorized will be selected to make up the new Guard, and these will comprise only the minimum strength, or about 66 men each, The few Guardsmen who did not volunteer wilt probably be the nucleus, though a strict report must be made as to why they did not volunteer and whether they are physically capable of performing military duty. -/It is the desire to hereafter enlist in the Guard only’ those capable of fulfilling every regular army requirement. A first-class Guard, though small, will be the result. General Dickinson has sent out for detailed reports of the conditions of all the companies, or what is left of them, and as soon as these are sent and as soon as General Barrett receives reetc., furnished when the guardsmen process of rehabilitation will commence in earnest. All indebtedness, army rent, and all other bills, names of the officers in command, amount of money due companies from the State, number of members left, reasons for not volunteering and nature of any disability, will be outlined. There will also be some arrangewent whereby the_ brave ‘boys who volunteered from ‘the ranks of the Guard will be permitted to again join without losing rank, The details of this part of the plan, however, have not yet been east atest Upon.

Governor Budd, Adjutant General Barrett and Major General Dickinson are authority for the statement that the National Guard of California is soon to be reorganized. And the plans of these officiale may surprise some of the men who had hoped to become officera of the new guard. There can be no definite steps, however, until the government .reimburses the Stete for all clothing, equipments, went into the volunteer service. As soon as this money is turned into the guard fuhd a -portion of it will be used to purchase new uniforms and equipments for the new National Guard, which, according to the present plan, will be only half, or less than half, the size it was before the President called for volunteers. Only half the number of companies authorized will be selected to make up the new Guard, and these will comprise only the minimum strength, or about 66 men each, The few Guardsmen who did not volunteer wilt probably be the nucleus, though a strict report must be made as to why they did not volunteer and whether they are physically capable of performing military duty. -/It is the desire to hereafter enlist in the Guard only’ those capable of fulfilling every regular army requirement. A first-class Guard, though small, will be the result. General Dickinson has sent out for detailed reports of the conditions of all the companies, or what is left of them, and as soon as these are sent and as soon as General Barrett receives reetc., furnished when the guardsmen process of rehabilitation will commence in earnest. All indebtedness, army rent, and all other bills, names of the officers in command, amount of money due companies from the State, number of members left, reasons for not volunteering and nature of any disability, will be outlined. There will also be some arrangewent

whereby the_ brave ‘boys who volunteered from ‘the ranks of the Guard will be permitted to again join without losing rank, The details of this part of the plan, however, have not yet been east atest Upon.
