Il A "REMINISCENCES AT the dedication Of the
aGreenup Monument" in Washington, yes.
terdsy, in honor Of Mr.. Greenup, a 6renep,
who was killed in 1856, in going to a fire, a
number of speeches were made, and Col TAFT
read the following extract from q record kept
by the late Mr.. John P. Ingle in reference to
the Columbia fire Company! &
"On the 18th Of January, 1927, when the
Potomac river had been for some time frozen
TO considerable depth, one of the coldest
days which / have ever known, and with a
strong wind from the northwest, it was dseov-
cred, from Capitol Fill, at about 10 o'clock
in the morning, that an extensive fire was
raging in Alexandria.
'Dr. Frederick May, by the aid of his spy
glass, ascertaned that the town was on fire in
8 three distinct places. The alarm was given; q
part OF our company turned out, and, after
pressing into service butler aU0g0D with a pair
Of strong horses, the hose and engine were
quickly on the way, crossing the Lone. Bridge,
and before II o'clock they were pouring a
constant stream Of water on house on
fire at the southwest corner of Prince and
Union streets, and also keeping wet the shut
tiers and other wood work OF a house on the
south side of Union street which was smoking
and apparently ready to blaze. If the fire had
taken to this last mentioned house there was
every reason to believe that all the warehouses
on the south side of Union street, which were
connected with it, ..and the shipping which lay
ice-bound at the wharves, would have been a
prey to the flames. An unbroken stream of
water, drawn from hole cut in the ice on the
river, was kept up until sun setting, when the
fire was subdued, and our company relinquished
its post and returned to Washington, amply
requited for all their toll and suffering by the
reflection that they had substantially benefited
their neighbors !"
