EDITOR EMPIRE-SH:-Seeing an article
in your paper headed, "Sickles Tragedy in

upon one Of our ministers, as friend to
him, and to our community, deem it my
duty, to respond in reply to that infamous
article. Sir, such reports as appeared in
that article were circulated, until his friends
becoming indignant at the insults, took the
matter up and gavo it thorough investi,
cation which, have no doubt, up. D." the
author Of that article, was aware Of That
cOnsistory, after a foil and fair investigation
of tho matter, cleared him from all blame

of the members, but by the voice of ALL.
Now, Sir, see no reason why "P. D." or
any other person should assail this minis'
ter after he has been tried and cleared az

decency, common sense and good manners,
will restrain "P D. from issuing any more

220 feet y inches through an inch nozzle.
This measurement was made from the end
of the nozzle, distance of sixty-six feet
fIom the centre of the engine, and counting
from the engine, makes total of 2S6 feet
inches. While the Deluge boys have cause
to rejoice at this "bully" throw, Mr.. JeiTers

"throwing" Of three Of our engines-the hight
Of their ambition was the spire Of the steaple of
the St. Clair Street Presbyterian Church, which
they hoped to give a ducking. The Oregon
engine opened the ball by playing on the ball
of the spire-macbine being supplied by the
Deluge Engine, which was stationed at the
Basin, about 45O feet distant. We were stand,
ing at a favorable point for viewing operations,
aud distinctly saw the water from the Oregon
pipe fit over the tip of the spire. When the
silvery spray reached the dizzy height, loud
and prolonged cheer went up'
The Independent Engine was stationed at
the Basin, and a line of hose was brought from
it through the Public Square into St. Clair
Street. in front of the Church. The engine
then supplied itself with water, and threw a
stream through about $50 feet of hose to the
top Of the spire There was no mistake about
this. Cheer on cheer was given as the spark
ling water ieted over the spire.
The "5's" were at the Basin with their en-.
gine. but did not enter into competition. They
did some very nice throwing, hewever, and
showed that for all practical purposes they
were as good as the best.
After the Oregon Company made their sue
cessful trial, they exchanged places with the
Deluge Company, per agreement but some Of
the washers having been put out Of order in
