Tuesday afternoon about half pas four
two little girls while sliding on the ice at
the mouth of Cattawissa creek met with an
accident which proved to be miraculous
escape from drowning. The one was
daughter of Mr.. Francis Longenberger, the
other daughter of Mr.. Archie Lewis.
They reached place where the ice was
thin and broke with them, Miss Longen-
berger going down first and pulling miss
Lewis after her The latter had Presence
of mind enough to cling to the ice and
cried for help. Her cries were heard by
some workmen on a railroad bridge some
distance away, and a man named Schook
seeing Miss Longenherger go under the ice
ran to the spot with hatchet in hand.
Seeing the body floating along under the
ice he hastily cut hole and with assist
ance drew her from the water, but not un-
til she had been carried about 1876 feet
from where she went under. She was
hastily taken to the house of Mr.. Romalia,
and Mr.. Bruce Meyer summoned DR.. Rob-
bins. When the doctor arrived, the pulse
was gone, hut at about five o'clock it was
restored again and at eight o'clock the
body commenced getting warmer. 1t is
supposed she was under the water about
six minutes, and the distance to reach the
doctor was about a quarter of mile-so
that she was in an unconcious state for
some time, and her recovery is indeed mir
aculous She is about nine years of age.

Until 1868 Bloomsbury had no fire de-
partment, and no protection against hre
but the Bucket brigade. When FIRE
broke out two lines Of people were formed
from well or cistern, or other water sup
ply, and one line passed along the full
buckets to men at the burning building,
and the empty pals were passed back by
the other line, and in this way there was
constant supply OF water, small but steady,
as long as the source held out When a
big conilagration got fairly under way, or
the fire occurred at point where no water
was available, there was nothing to be
done but to look on and "let her 60" The
Friendship Fire company was organized in
February, 1868, and money was raised by
subscription to purchase an engine. Wm.
IL. Gilmore went to Philadelphia and
bought an engine from the Friendship Fire
Co of that city for $3.50. 1t was double
decker, and was made for city use, to be
supplied with water from plug. 1t ar
rived here on April 2, 1868, and was looked
upon as a great acquisition at the time. A
few feet of leather hose were obtained, and
the town considered itself ready to fight
fire. 1t proved better than the Bucket bri-
gade, only because water could be thrown
on a fire that could not be reached with
buckets, but it did not do away with the
passing of buckets along the line, as the
water had to be supplied to the engine in
that way, there being no suction pipe on
the machine. Notwithstanding this disad-
vantage much good work was done by the
Friendship, and it saved property to the
value of many times its cost
Its usefulness was superseded by the
erection of water works, and since that
time the old engine has made its appear

1t was recently sold to the Volunteer
F'iremen's Association, of Philadelphia,
and shipped there on November 25. On
Dec. IA there was big parade in the city

ed by about 300, was given in tie evening,
at which William H Gilmore was present as
an invited guest. Mr.. Gilmore has been

him has resulted in our present well.
