| Il. Casedessus, Maryhal-This .sold re-
liable" phalanx Of Firemen was organ
lied about the year 1889, and was thor
composed Of the Creole element. They
have been the lifelong rivals Of theil
worthy comrades the Washingtons. Not
to be eclipsed by them has been their
aim on every occasion. Neck and neck,
and nip and tuck, is tho position that
they have never failed to occupy by the
side OF their stafwart competitors. At
one time they prided themselves on the
cognomen Of the Clutch Compdny,D
owing to the fact that many Germans
were on their roll, as also, from their
fondness for rollicking and sociability.
With their beautiful new hand-engine,
tho company goes quickly into position.
The boys boastingly contend that they
have tho muscle to compete with steam,
and that they fear no explosion or other
accident to their machine. They belong
to that class Of boys who fear no noise,
Though they are far from home" Their
Foremen have been Mcssrs. Fred Ar
