A SLIGHT FIRE.
Collision Between tho n ellanco

Hose Cart and Wecesc0c.
An alarm OF fire was struck about
o'clock last Saturday evening from box
26, at Maryland avenue and Beech
street, that called out the entire fire
department. The FIRE was extinguished
and was found to have originated in an
unaccountable manner In a closet con-
tanning clothing. The damage was but
slight.
As the Weccacoe engine was return
ing along Maryland avenue, it was run
into by the Reliance hose cart that was
just proceeding to the fire. The acci.
dent occurred at Monroe street, and the
Weccacoe was on the West side of the
avenue, while the Delaware hook and
ladder tr uck on the east side, and as
the driver of the hose cart undertook to
pass them the horse became unmanage-
able, and collided with the engine.
The Weccacoe was struck with great
force. breaking of the foot board Of the
engine, and throwing the driver, John
Mealey, from his seat, but fortunately
he escaped with a sprained ankle and a
few bruises.
The engine was badly damaged, the
suction and brake being broken and the
front chamber badly dented, while
Daisey, one of the Weccacoe's horses,

The Reliance horse was slightly cut
in the breast, but the hose cart was not
injured. 1t is hard to say where to
place the blame, but it is rea sonable to
suppose that Brady, the driver OF the
hose cart, was unable 10 manage the
