by Major Waggaman, of the regular Commissary Department, the latter found Perry Seawell & Co. so prompt and satisfactory that he continued the patronage; for which there was a good reason, because stores for the use of the troops at remote posts had to be packed in a particular way, to bear transportation in wagons, or even on pack-mules; and this firm had made extraordinary preparations for this exclusive purpose. Some time about 1849, a brother of Major Waggaman, who had been clerk to Captain Casey, commissary of subsistence, at Tampa Bay, Florida, was thrown out of office by the death of the captain, and he naturally applied to his brother in New Orleans for employment; and he, in turn, referred him to his friends, Messrs.

ding a manufacturer to locate his business in Cambridge is the absence of the saloon. For ten years the people at the annual municipal elections have voted in favor of no license, and the effect upon the city is shown in many ways. Especially is there a marked decrease in the business of the police courts, and the large increase in the deposits in the savings banks, these deposits having increased from $6,136,257 in 1885 to $10,089,222 in 1896. In fire protection the department under Chief Casey is one of the most efficient in the State. It numbers forty-three permanent and eighty-eight call men, and has in service seven steam fire-engines, with five hose wagons and two hose carriages, two chemical engines, two hook-and-ladder trucks, one aerial truck, and twenty chemical extinguishers. Eight hundred and sixty-seven hydrants are available for fire purposes. It has also reserve or spare apparatus composed of one steam fire-engine, two hose carriages, and one ladder truck. The
