M uch Ado About Nothing.?At the
rxju.-.-t of Poiiceiuati Atkinson, Mayor
Simpson lust night investigated the
charge thu* that ollicerbad received an
alarm of tire over the Home telephone
on the morning of September 29.h ai d
had failed to ring the town beil. About
twenty v. it tu.--es were ex* mined in?
cluding Officer Atkinson, employes of
tiie telephone company, some citizens
und members of the lire department.
After hearing the testimony Mayor
Simpson rendered an opinion dismissing
the entire matter. It was proved, i i
the opiniou of the mayor, that while
the alarm had bveu received at the Co?
lumbia engine house at -1:18 o'clock, the
police s'a'ion had not been called until
4:o5 or 4:40,at which lime ollicer Atkin
son beiug of tbe opinion that the tire
was out, did not ring the town beil.
The otlicer, the mayor slater!, bad to
use discretion in matters of this kind,
as to .-oiiud .in alarm on the town be 1
twenty minutes altera lire had brokm
out might cause a second alarm of fir' .
The controversy arose out of a slati
oimit made by an officer to a represen
tative ot tbe Gazette to the effect that
no alurtn bad been turned in to tie
stiliou hou-e. Mr. George Francis, the
night central, couiended that he s und
ed an alarm to the staliou house, the
chief engiueer, and Mr. Downbam, and
said Policeman Atkinson responded.
Mr. F. F. Marbury, superintendent ol
theJHome telephone, made a pi sit v.
8"U!em"ut, averring thai the alarm was
sent in and received by Mr. Atkinson,
tae latter acknowledging ibe correct?
ness of Mr. Marbury's statement, ex ?
cept as to ibe time. Tbe officer's de
fense last night was to too effect that
the ringing of tbe bell Would baY;
beeu a supei lluousact at the time he was
notified of tbe fire. After the trial of
the case Chief Engineer Peltey stated
pubiiciy thai all firemen were guided j
by the ringing of the town bell.
