Trial OF a JeGers steam Fire Engine

Trial OF a Je6ers Steam Fire Engine
A party of gentlemen connected with the
Toledo, Ohio, Fire Department visited
Cincinnati few days ago, for the purpose
of witnessing the trial of LETTERS steam
FIRE engine. They returned home enter
tanning very high opinion of the machine
and anxious that the City Council, when il
next makes an investment in fire apparatus,
purchase a "Jeffers." Below will be found
the result of the trials made with the en-
CINE.
The machine made fifteen pounds Of
steam in four minutes and forty seconds
and had water through the pipe, and in
seven minutes threw $40 feet, not losing
any on distance, but held it their for thir-
teen minutes with l nozzle. Then it threw
two one inch streams 200 feet and held
them there for ten minutes thirty seconds
This engine weighs only 1890 pounds and
is second class. The next day it was taken
out to fill a cistern with a capacity of 240C
barrels it forced water up rise of lSt
feet through 1850 feet of hose, and filled il
in four hours and fifteen minutes, was de.
layed fifteen minutes for bursted hose and
for coal. She was limited to one hundred
pounds water pressure, working" sixty
pounds steam.
The new steam fire engine, the civilian
Stockell," was on the Public Square fol
exhibition yesterday. Mr.. Frank K. Jefers
of Pawtucket, R. l., the builder of the
engine, being present to witness the per
Torrance. She performed admirably
Since the Stockell was sold to this city he
has sold engines to the cities of Blooming
ton and Peoria, Illinois; Cincinnati, Ohio
Terra Haute, Indiana; Savannah, Georgia
and many other cities, all of which have
given satisfaction, being light and powerful
as well as elegant in appearance. Thes'
engines are highly popular and are coming
INFO general use in the cities and towns.

REI1sIoUs.-We learn that il is pro
posed by Rev. DIR. Bunting 10 commence
tonight at the First Presbyterian Church
a series Of sermons specially addressed to
the younger portion Of the community, but
which in their scope, however, will be
adapted to all who are so engrossed in
business that they have not had their
minds directed to the solemn and impor-
tant truths which will be presented. The
members Of the medical class Of the Uni>
versity of Nashville are invited to attend
them. They viii be plain snd practical in
their unfolding Of the leading doctrines
Of the Gospel, and entirely free from secs
tartan features. The subjects will be ans
nounced at the close Of each discourse, and
they will be delivered every Sabbath night
till the conclusion.
Dr. Bunting is abundantly able to make
such a series of lectures effective and i'm
pressive, and he will doubtless have a full
attendance of those TO whom the call Is
made.
