THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS NEEDS

Additional Apparatus and Hydraulic
Pressure in the Mains.
The fire and water committees Of the city
council will hold special conference meet
ing to-day, at which it is expected that the
mayor and the chief of the fire department
will be present by invitation. 1t is expected
that the present condition of the fire depart
ment with reference to its equipments will
be the subject of discussion, and that out of
1t Will result such q recommendation for
increasing the equipments as will enable the
department to more successfully combat
such fires as that of week ago
1t seems to be the generally accepted
opinion among the aldermen that two
things are necessary: Another water works
plant and two new steam fire engines 1t
has been suggested that the two new en-
glnes be bought and held in reserve, en-
ploying engineers for the engines only in
an emergency. Alderman McDonough, in
referring to the matter yesterday, said that
the engines are needed, and that there
should be regular men to man them. He
thinks the practical way is to have good en-
gineers who will know the engines and not
depend on the first engineer who can be
picked up.
Alderman Harmon, who was in the grcup
OF gentlemen who were discussing the wants
of the fire departments, agreed with Alder
man McDonough, and both expressed the
opinion that another water works plant is
needed, and especially for the southern part
of the city, which is building up so rapidly,
and the Springfield plantation was sug-
gested as desirable location. The MEM
bers of the council realize that if the pres
emit water works break down, or the only
main leading to the city should suffer a Sc
rlous accident, a water famine would fol
low, and the city be at the mercy of the
first bad fire that might break out.
Much has been said about the small diam
eter of the Broughton street main, and the
acid progress of the late fire has been at
tributed to that cause, but Chief z uder said
last night that he did not pump from the
Broughtou street main. He knew it to be
only four-inch main and not to be
trusted. He therefore had two engines
pumping from the ten-inch main on Con
gress street, two pumping from the twelve
inch main on Whitaker street, and one on
the twelve-inch main on South Broad street.
Chief Pruder said that he got all the
water from the mains that the engines
could pump. The great trouble with the
water works system is the lack of hydraul-
ic pressure, and hose cannot be used at the
fire plugs with any hope of getting water
from the pressure in the mains. 1t must
he pumped. Chief Puder shares the
opinion of many that the 4-inch mains are
practically useless as an agency in fighting
fires. The suction prevents pumping them
to any advantage.

A CURIOUS BIT OF REAL ESTATE.
It Part of Little Delaware or the
Great State of Pennsylvania
From the Ne,o York Sun.

From, the Neto York Sun.
There is triangular bit of real estate be-
tween Delaware and Pennsylvania that has
had almost as complicated history for its
size as Oklahoma or Greer county. The
northern boundary of Delaware was de-
clared in the original grant to be the arc of
circle with center at Newcastle and a
radius OF twelve miles. Mason and Dixon's
line fixed the boundary between Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland. The blunders of the
old surveyors made the Mason and Dixon
line at It's eastern end fail to reach quite to
the arc of the Delaware circle. This left a
triangular bit of land as wide at the
top as the distance of this fail
ure and tapering down to point where
the arc of the circle extended, touched the
eastern boundary of Maryland. Various
measurements have made the area of
this lost bit of land all the way from 500 to
800 acres. William Smith and his an
cestors have lived there for generations al
ways supposlng that they were in Delaware
until l049, wnen a survey by a United
States officer disclosed the old error, aud
made it clear that if William Smith lived
anywhere it was in Pennsylvania 1t
CHANGED that at this time Smith was a
member of the Delaware Senate, and he
was promptly dubbed in parliamentary pro-
ceedngs ''the gentleman rom Penn
sytvania." Stones were set up mark
ing the new boundary, but the Smith
family refused to pay any attention to them
and kept on paying taxes and voting in Della
ware as usual. The son If the senator, an
other William, managed to get some acts
through the legislature of the two states
that he believed confirmed posse sion of the
triangle to Delaware, and he SCI tied down
IN the happy conviction that he had made
his citizenship good. But in 1870 the cen
sus taGer for the PennSylva ia township
that adjoined him came around and insisted
upon counting the Smith family in with
Pennsylvania, although the Delaware CEN
sus man had already counted them once
There has been trouble over the boundary
ever since, Squire Smith refusing to &C
knowledge allegiance to Pennsylvania and
the Pennsylvania township ate np6i lg to
force him to do so. When the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad was being extended to
Philadelphia the line ran across the
dispu ed strip, and, uncertain whether an
act Of the Pennsylvania legislature would
not be necessary to attain the right of con-
demning right of way, the company hired
Squire Smith to buy for it outright the
land needed. This recalled attention to the
little strip of land, and now arrangements
are being made for a commission to take
evidence and settle for good the question of
the citizenship of the Smith family and the
jurisdiction over the 'fat-iron" strip. Adj
vantage has been taken of the uncertainty
as to jurisdiction to make the strip the loca-
ton in the past of several duels and few
prize fights, but with these exceptions moth
ing approaching bloodshed has marked the
progress of the half-century struggle be-
tween William Smith and the common
wealth of Pennsylvania

THE LAST STORY OF RUDoLPH's
DEATH
He Was Spiritualist and a Ghost
Was the Cause of His End.

OebNhDO "a
From Vdnity Fair.
In certain circles in Vienna there is a
story current regarding the death of the
Crown Prince Rudolph which is generally
not believed, but is accepted by some as the
true account of the unhappy termination of
his life The prince was, it appears, much
given to the study and practice Of the mys-
tic arts, and was also greatly influenced by
any woman who prepossessed him. He was
a medium, and on several occasions had
boosted Of having seen the Burggeist, an
appartion which has for centuries haunted
the palace of the Hapsburgs at Vienna, as
the white lady docs that of the Hoheu zol-
lerns at Berlin. Only few days before his
death, while dining with Count c., the
door Of the dining room suddenly opened.
The count was startled but the prince said,
laughing, Don't be disturbed, it is only
the Burggeist; have often met it, and we
are intimate friends" The crown prince
was always surrounded by mystics and
mediums, and it was at his request that
Baron H brought the medium Bastian
to Vienna. There was much discussion at
the time whether Bastian was or was not
an impostor, but the crown prince himself
was never able TO determine in his own
mind that he was. There was considerable
controversy on the subject between the
prince and Baron H, in the course of
which the baron offered to give palpable
proof of the possibility Of citing spirits.
even without the aid Of a medium. In
ORDER to put the baron to the test an ap-
pointment was made aud he and the prince,
with Count c., met one dark night at
the castle of M. The baron lighted
seven torches and produced his book of in
carnations. The crown prince looked at it,
and was immensely amused on finding it TO
be only French Ollendorf's grammar, but
the baron explained that il was immaterial
how be excited / IS will; all that was neces-
sary was for him to produce the spirit.

"Wednesday afternoon 4 few min-
utes past four o'clock, while the
wind was blowing hard from the
east, = whrrlwind came up from the
south cross cutting the east wind, it
was large and carried the sand and
dast in great dark mass, it struck
the southeast part of town doing no
damage until it reached the residence
Of Mr.. Joe. Conwell block south of
the railroad, house of three or four
rooms with a porch in front. The
force OF the whirlwInd must have
centered there as the house WAS taken
bodily from the foundation in the
air, turned upside down dashed to
the ground 4 mass Of kiudling wood,
there vas not piece of timber or
board in the building but what was
split or broken, the furniture, dishes
and everything in the house except
rocking chair was either broken or
damaged.
When the whirlwind struck the
house Mrs. Conwell was standing
just inside the kitchen door, and Mr..
Heaton was painting some Of the in
side wood work, il was so sudden and
unexpected that neither had time to
think and were not aware of what
had happened until Mrs. Conwell
found herself standing out doors
slightly bruised on the right shoul-
der but not seriously hurt. Mr..
Heaton was not SO fortunate he fell
10 the mass of runs and received a
cut over the eye and one to the side
of his nose, neither being serious or
to cause him much inconvenience.
IL was q remarkable escape, and the
wonder of all who viewed the wreck
how they escaped with their lives,
after leaving the Conwell place the
wind ripped off few boards of the
carrell in the rear of the blue front
stable, then crossed the track and
struck w. l.. Warehouses; lumber
ward scattering the lumber and do
ing some damage by breaking and
splitting boards, from there 1t struck
Hspson's blacksmith shop and tore
his sign down breaking it into, the
wind then passed north to the timber.
The strange part of the destructive
wbirlwind is that it came from a
clear sky, there were at the time a
few fiakey clouds in the west, but
none in the east or in the south
where the whirl came from, another
strangs feature Is that the whirl cut
acress the direction of the wind.
Many of our citizens saw 1t coming
but thought nothing of it, as whiri'
winds are common in thus country
and never before known to do any
harm, besides the whirl passed sew
eral houses directly in its path doing
no harm. Mr.. c. c. Huddleston
watched it as it struck his house and
said it appeared to have no more force
than the whirlwinds common IN TINS
country, and thought nething OF IL
until he heard the crash OF Mr.. Con
veIl's residence. Mr.. Sol. Coxhead
has been a resident of this country
for a number of years and says he
never knew of house being blown
