longing to Mr.. Ed. Pickett, of New Hope,
was discovered to be on fire. An alarm was
Immediately sounded and the " Eagle I" boys
were quickly on hand. but before they could
get their engine in working order the FIRE bad
been put out by buckets Of water. The origin
of the fire is not known, unless it was started
by sparks from, a neighboring chimney II
the fire had once gos a good start on the
building It would no doubt have made clean
sweep of the whole block of houses adjoining
Pickett's. What would have made things
worse, the steamer refused to take water al
first, but after giving It little trial afterward
it was got in good working order. This Is al
uncommon thing for the Eagle engine. Thej
try to keep her in good trim. but owing totbs
j water being out Of the canal every winter
they haven't much eff chance to take he
out on trial.
