SUCCESSFUL TRIALS OF CHEMICAL FIRE ENGINES.
ON Tuesday afternoon last Mr.. Charles I. HOl-
loway, of Baltimore, brought two of his chemical
fire engines to TowsontOwn for the purpose of Civ
ing them trial in the presence of the County
Commissioners One of the engines is large af
fair, drawn by two horses and having two fifty
gallon retorts for holding the water and chemicals
while the other one is n small hand engine having
two retorts of twenty five gallons each. The place
selected for the trial was the vacant lot near the
Jail and by half-past three o'clock there were at
least two hundred people on the ground, including
the County Commissioners and most of our prom
inent citizens all anxious to witness the display.
Several wagon loads of barrels had been pro-
cured, all of which were stacked up and saturated
with coal oil. The torch was then applied and
after the whole mass had been completely envel
Oped lin flames and burning furOusly, stream from
the large engine was turned ON and in forty five
seconds from the time the fluid struck the flames
the whole was but a steaming mass, the fire having
been entirely extinguished. The barrels were
again lighted and more oil was thrown on and af-
ter the fire well under way stream from the
hand engine was turned on and in one minute the
fire put out.
After these tests, which gave great satisfaction
to all present, the engines were brought up to the
town and one OF the tanks of the large one was
recharged in front of Mr.. Watkins restaurant
The hook and ladder truck of the TowsontOwn
Fire Company was brought out and by means of
one of the ladders the top of Mr.. Watkins house
roof and even at that elevation-about 35 feet
engine-a strong stream was thrown a distance of
fifty sixty feet, and this test, like the first, was
pronounced n success
All who saw the machines work expressed sat
isfaction at the result and warmly complimented
Mr.. Holloway on his success. We have no doubt
the County Commissioners will approve these ma
chimes and that they will be adopted for the sew
eral towns around the city-our own included
which are now preparing to protect themselves
against fire.
AN INsOLEST TRAMP.-0n Wednesday afternoon
last tramp came to the house of Mr.. William H.
Emory, in this town, and asked for something to
eat which was given him He then asked for
