THE NEW ENGINE.
A Trial of the New Silsby-The
tnpine Does Beautiful Work.

At 2 O'Clock yesterday the new
slsbv steamer which was ordered by
the city council was taken out upon
,he public plaza to be tested. 1t was
,,Iaced beside the old cistcrn and
forced pump water from depth OF
ffteen feet. The test was made in
the presence of Chief Prescott and
other members of the fire department.
he city council, and at least thousand
citizens who gathered around the
steamer to see it work. Ii is a crane
neck No. 3, with the modern i'm
provements and has capacity of
of 600 gallons per minute. 1t is one
size larger than the Little Chief. Waco
IS very partial to the Silsby Manutac c.
turing company having purchased
from that company all the engines she
has ever used, commencing to deal
with them fifteen years ago, when the
@Bellc" was purchased. The "Belle''
cave such satisfaction that two other
steamers have since been bought and
each time the first test has been made
under the management of Mr.. James
p. Teller, a clever gentleman and an
experienced engineer of the Silsby
concern. The new engine was place d
side by side with the Little Chief yes
terday and her boilers filled with
cold water. A fire was started and
in exactly SIX and a half minutes the
whistle announced that steam was up.
Then she began to groan aud
the water was allowed to shoot
through 100 feet of hose. 1t Knocked
the curves out III the hose and came
near Jerking over the men at the noz-
rle. Mr.. Teller opened the furnace
door of the engine aud the draft was
terrific, but he chucked in more coal
and made her below, another hose
was attached and two streams shot
way-up into the sky, but still Teller
would not let her go and he pitched in
coal until she screamed with rage
and four streams were thrown high
er than the tops OF the tallest build
iDgs. NO measurement was taken OF
the heighth OF the streams, on account
of the high wind from the north
which prevailed. Afterwards the
little chief and the new engine were
taken up to Austin and Ninth streets
and both put to action much to the
delight of the ladies in that vicinity
The tiremen, the council and the
citizens were all highly delighted witt

than churches because many of the lower
