THE RICHMOND SYSTEM,
The Fire Alarm Bell Kept Going
for Several Hours.

The Fire Alarm Bell Kept Going
for Several Hours.
The fire alarm began ringing yester-
day afternoon about two O'Clock and
kept it up steadily for several hours.
The small boys of the town rushed wild
ly about the streets for time, hunting
for the fire. AS one box after another
was sounded, they concluded that it was
some sort of a belated April fool joke
and gave up the quest. The bell ringing
was the result of a public test to which
the Richmond alarm system was subject
ed. For several weeks past the old sys-
TEN OF fire telegraph has been in process
of change. The work was completed
yesterday and turned over to the authori-
ties. The test was made in the presence
of Chief Moriarty, OF the Fire Depart
ment, Mayor Workman and several
members of the City Council. The old
arrangement was with an open circuit !.
the new is the Richmond closed circuit
system. A man on horseback rode
around the city turning in the alarm at
each box as he came to it. The test
went off smoothly, except in one
case when the E. L. A. circuit in
terfered, and at the end OF the
trial. AS each box was oper-
ated, the automatic machinery at the
Police Station struck of the alarm on a
little gong, and wrote the number of the
box on ribbon in telegraphic dots and
dashes. Almost simultaneously the bell
on the hill sounded. If the wires become
crossed with others at anytime. an in
dication in the apparatus reveals the
fact. Another trial will be given shortly.
