Oldest Fire Engine in the Country.

The oldest fire engine in the United
States and probably in America is in pos
session of the William Penn Hose com
pany, of Philadelphia. The tub is feet
8 inches long, 1 foot inches wide and
foot inches deep. The wheels are solid
blocks of wood, foot s inches in diameter
and about inches thick. The cylinders
are Al inches in diameter, with a stroke
of 81 inches. The internal construction
is the same as in the hand engines of the
present day. with air chamber, waterway
and suction. There is no makers name
on it, but it was built by either Newsham
or Fowke, of London. The engine was &C
cepted by the company in Salem, April g
1749, and the company took the name of
the Union Engine company. 1t was kept
in use until April, 1879, half century Of
active service, when one called the Essex
took its place.-Chicago Herald.

Aneeted by a Dry Atmosphere.

An Indiana man who, under the last ad-
plinistration, held the position of Indian
agent in Dakota, told me recently that the
excessive dryness of the atmosphere there
affected his health, causing him to have
the rheumatism so badly that he was not
able to walk half a mile, though he was
never thus afflicted at home. A subse-
quent transfer TO the Indian territory
caused great improvement in his health
He said he knew of many persons having
to les,ve Montana also on account of SINH
lar rheumatic troubles.-Chicago journal

Solemn and Impressive Language.

A bricklayer who had come to his death
by being hit on the head with brick was
the subject Of eulogy by the member Of
fraternaI society. The desire of the orator
to be solemn and impressive was greater
than his ability to express the few ideas
that he had. My friends" he said, Il
looked out once on the beauties Of mater.
and all was c-a-a-alm. Our diseased FRIEND
here was layin'a brick. Hooked out once
more; still all was c-a-a-Im, but our dis
eased friend was no more He was layin'

san ANTONIO, July %. Eney say that figures
yon lie, and most people firmly believe so, pro
|lded the figures are correct. An illustration to
lie contrary, however has just been f and in the
esult of Saturdays democratic convention, and
be- Swainites are kicking like steers, and even as
L rgth8t the convention should be called to order
lin, in order that fair count may be had
The discovery was made after the convention had
ljourned, that the secretary tally sheet did not
pot up tbevOte correctly, and that instead of be
be majority In favor OF Breckenridge it should
|aye been the other way. A reporter
/ He'd on Secretary Labatt this
kprning. He had heard good deal of
"a Kicking npon the street and said that while he
hi added up the totals two or three times, the
|uhhub and noise was so great that
|e could not be positive that his addi.
ION was correct He did not have
ho ocial tally sheets in his possession, declaring
bar nc 1ad left them on the table after the conyen
for had adjourned, and believed that II. Hunt had

Nh Labatt further said that If there was an er-
pr in the count he should not be held responsible

neets were found in the possession of j. il.

suld be given in favor Of the Swain men instead

it the convention Is called again, which is not

SWANS CHANCES.

houston Post.
The Post confesses that it has been
somewhat disappointed in the number OF
instructed votes SO far developed for
Colonel Swain for governor. He has
fallen far short of what his friends conf
IDENTIFY expected, but Notwithstanding
this fact there is nothing as yet to cause
encouragement. The great body of tho
Galveston convention will be unin-
structed, and Swain has as good chance
at this vote as any of the other candi-
dates. He is the choice in great many
counties where positive instructions for
him were prevented only by combining
all the opposition. This has been the
Ross programme from the first. In
counties where Swain was the strong
est, the Ross men have Joined forces with
other candidates to prevent any instruc-
tiors at all. This was illustrated in the
Third ward in this city, where all the
Ross, GiddinGs, Roberts, Cook and "dark
horse" men combined against instructions
for Swain. The same tactics were re-
sorted to in Bexar county. Swain carried
the primaries, but by the free use of
money and the combination of all op-
posing forces, aNmixed delegation was
secured. II is the opinion Of the Post
that General Ross will probably lead on
the first ballot at Galveston, but his mana
gers will find that their combination tao
tics, pursued in different counties, will
come home to roost in the state conven-
ton; and, if Colonel Swain turn out a
good second on the first round, the with
drawal of minor candidates will shove him

CATCHING AHUGE FISH.

New lork Times.
An immense tarpon, the largest game
fish ever captured, was exhibited yester-
day in the window of Thomas j. Conroy's
fishing tackle store, SO Fulton street. II
was caught at Punta Rassa Fla, few
miles from Key West, by William H.Wood,
civil engineer of this city, and an ex-
pert angler. The fish is six feet, five
inches in length, and sixteen and half
inches in width, and weighs 140 pounds.
A fifteen-thread reel line, hook with
the O'Shaughnessy knob and three-foot
link chain, and short, stiff bamboo
rod in one piece, with 900 feet of line,
were used. The fish showed such tremen-
dous strength that there was great diff
Guilty in Bleaching it, and this was only ac-
complished finally by lifting anchor and
allowing it to tow the boat ashore. The
natives use the spear in fishing for the
tarpon, and regard Mr.. Woods feat as the
most extraordinary exploit in the angling
line that ever was known in the vicinity.
Mr.. Wood enjoys the additional distinc-
tion of being the first person who ever
captured fish Of this kind with rod and
reel. The capture occurred in March,
1885, and within year, almost 10 tho day,
Mr.. Wood surpasses his previous achieve
ment by taking the largest game fish ever
caught
