THE WARREN FIRE BUCKET.
A Successful Exhibition of Its Powers
Given Yesterday.


The new Warren fire bucket, in which sew
eral Portland men are interested, was given
a trial in Lewiston yesterday before the
agents of the mills there and others. In Hay
market square board wall was built up,
smeared with tar, soaked with kerosene, and
arranged so as to make the hottest possible
lire In the shortest time. Mr.. John ID. War
rem, the owner of the patent for the bucket,
had charge of the exhibition. Before touch
ing match he explained the construction
and use of the bucket. 1t is we'll known
that for niping fire in the bud nothing is SO
good as bucket, provided it is easy to han
die aud ready for Instant use. These requi-
sites the Warren bucket fulfills. 1t is made in
the shape of the old time leather fire bucket,
long and narrow, and is filled with chemi-
cal solution. The bucket is madelof indur-
ated fibre. which is not affected in any way
by the contents. To prevent evaporation or
souring of the contents, the bucket is sealed
up with cover of lead or tin foil. Through
this is run a wire that is attached to the hook
on which the bucket is supposed to hang on
the wall of mill or shop. Taking the
bucket from the wall unseals it. The wire
cuts the cover out clean, leaving the contents
ready to be dashed on the flames, which they
are sure to Quench.
In the testiyesterday the wooden wall was
allowed to get well under way before the
liquid was thrown on it. One bucketful
killed the fire down so that Mr.. Warren was
able to come up near to it with second and
to splash few drops on the few remaining
spots of fire. extinquishing them instantly
and leaving no dirty white scum behind. as
the Babcock extinguishers do.
more complete success could not be de-
sired. OF course Ano sane man would at
tempt to use chemical extinguishers on fire
that had spread through whole house; but
for use in putting out small fires such as are
liable to arise at any time in shops. factories,
stores and dwellings, the Warren bucket
seems to fill the bill for simplicity, durabil-
ity and efficiency, which, with its constant
readiness, are the points desired.

Before pronouncing sentence, Judge Barr
overruled the motion of the prisoners coun-
sci for new trial. The ground of the mo-
ton was the absence of Nettie Sullivan, who
was declared to be an important witness,
particularly in the case of Lewis, who could
not 90 on the stand in his own behalf be-
cause she was not there to corroborate him.
1t was also alleged that the prosecution, and
particularly the District Attorney in his
address to the jury, had prejudiced the case
BY making reference to crimes alleged else
where against the defendants, but not
charged here.
When asked BY the Court, before pro-
nouncing sentence, if they had anything to
saw. Lewis said: 1.-TWO OF us were not pre-
pared for defense, because the case was
hurried 500 He referred to himself and
Tasker Tasker said: 1--WE didn't have a
fair trial; our witnesses were taken no ac-
count Of" Jackson Sullivan said: "There
were either wonderful mistakes made or
outrageous falsehoods we're told concerning
u.s.
Mr.. Ho1bert, counsel for the defendants,
made special plea for vacation of the SEN
tence of the case of Marshall Sullivan, but
without success.
The Court decided that the charge against
the prisoners of assault and battery with in
tent to kill would not be tried now, but
would be held until the men completed
their terms of imprisonment. A, strong in
timation was given, however, that the pros
ecution, in proving that the four defendants
had tortured Yoder to make him reveal the
hiding place of his money, had actually
disposed of the second charge. SIMPSON.

RETURN OF THE BOODLER.
w. J. McGarigle Pleads Guilty In Open
Court, and Is Fined $1,000.


CHICAGO, May 31.-W. j. McGarigle,
ex-warden of the Cook County Hospital,
who has been fugitive from justice, under
indictment as one of the ''boodlers'' in the
county ring, living for some time in Banf,
British Columbia, walked into Judge
Shepard's courtroom shortly before noon to-
day and gave himself up. McGarigle
pleaded guilty to charge of conspiracy.
A fine of 81 900 was at once imposed.
When McGarigle fled to Canada, nearly
two years ago, he was under sentence of two
years in the penitentiary, but a petition for
a new trial was pending in the courts.
After his departure the petitions for new
trial in his case and that of Ed. Mcdonald
were denied. McDonald's case went before
the Supreme Court, and the decision of the
lower court was reversed. The action before
Judge Shepard this morning was simply
granting a new and immediate trial to Nc
Garigle and the imposing of a fine on
his plea of guilty.
AT the same time the States Attorney dis
missed the case against Ed. Mcdonald, en-
gineer of the asylum, who was convicted of
being concerned in the crookedness with
McGarigle. The States Attorney said that
as the Supreme Court had granted a new
trial to McGarigle; that as he was convinced
that he could not be again convicted, and as
he had been confined in the county jail for
a year and half, the State was willing to
drop further proceedings. The orders were
made, the fine and costs paid, and McGari-
gle and Mcdonald were free men once
more

might have been said that, given the same
landscape, the Dutch artist would have
made the windmill the center and subor-
dinated his composition to it; the French
man would have made the miller's daugh-
ter the center and introduced city gallant
with seductive address and fashionable
attire. and the English painter would have
subordinated the windmill and the family
to the beauties of the earth and the powers
of the air. All this is now changed.
