Chief Van Solver Pays the following Tri
butte to the Trenton Firemen.
Firemen are queer set of beings, very
much like some of the material they are
very often called upon to extingnfsh--fn-
fiammable. When a mistake is made,
however, they are generally ready to cor
rect it and get on the right track again.
This was manifested at Trenton few days
ago, when some of the companies and the
city authorities became involved in war
of words, which resulted in the said COM
panies failing to respond on trial alarm.
But another chance was given them, after
time for second thought, aud there was
no hanging back then.
There was no prouder man 10 that city
than Chief Freudenmacher, as the ma
chimes came rolling up to the City Hall
fully manned, ready for the fray. 1t was
a moment OF wild excitement, seldom wit
messed, and the loud hurrahs of the peo-
pie mingled with the ringing of bells and
gongs and the toots of steam whistles, left
an impression on those who witnessed the
scene never to be forgotten. 1t proved
conclusiyely that the element of which
the firemen was composed could be relied
on in case of an emergency. 1t proved
also that the service of SO many years vol
unfairly given and the honor so calamity
won were not to be thrown aside for mere
trifles. 1t proved by the outburst of en-
thusiasm from the citizens, that their ser
vices had been appreciated and would
still be appreciated until such times as
matters under consideration could be ami
cably settled.
The first company to go out was the
first to come back, thus exempllfying that
all was HARMONY again, so far as the
TRENTON firemen were concerned. There
is spirit of patriotism as well as devo-
ton to their calling exhibited among the
fire laddies, no doubt inspired by as
sociations OF the past, when the immortal
WASHINGTON, at the head of his little
band of patriots crossed the DELAWARE
and struck the important blow which as
sured LIBERTY throughout the land, !"
and made the UNION of States :" one and
inseparable. This spirit Of devotion to
country has been manifested to no greater
extent in any city of AMERICA, and the
veneration for the second father of the
country, LINCOLN, is as deeply rooted in the
hearts of its citizens, of whom the firemen
are no mean portion. May the course of
the Capitol City firemen, like the king OF
the feathered tribe, the EAGLE, be ever on
and upward. Let every interest be
MUTUAL and thereby the arduous work
60 HAND.IN-HAND together. May the
spirit of Coon WILL which has always
characterized the self-sacrihcing body of
devoted men who are banded together for
the protection of life aud property OF their
fellows, be emulated by all who are en-
gagged in the same humane work. Then
will continue the persevering, stubborn,
fighting of fire that has always been mani
tested by them and truly represented In
ex-Chief OssENBERe, whom the boys love,
respect and honor SO dearly.

Col. John b. Jameson, OF Blooms
burg, Pa, was on Friday last awarded
the contract for the construction Of the

ted. Both the Reading and the Delware,
Lackawsnna and Western Railroad Com

the part which each corporation will sus-

Big Fire In Clinton.

Dig rlre III CLINTON.
Tho sleeping citizens of our neighboring
town of Clinton were rudely aroused at
IL o'clock last Tuesday night by the
alarming cry of ''Flre AS the alright
ed people rushed from their homes they
discovered that the flames proceeded from
the large building of ]. w. Altemus &
Brother, near the Lehigh Valley Railroad
station. In it were located the well-known
marble works of the above-named firm,
the shoe factory OF Evans & Sluman,
which was so recently established, and
W. II. Jones's overall factory. In the
upper story of the building was the neat
and attractive Music Hall.
The Democrat gives the following par
ticulars: The fire broke out about ten
minutes before IL o'clock in the basement
OF the rear end Of the building, but it had
gained such headway that before anything
could be done to stop the march Of the
confagration tho structure was wrapped
in flames. The tongues OF fire dashed the
doomed building with undated fury for
one hour, and then its frame could no
longer stand the awful blast, but swayed
to and fro few times and then fell with
crash among the ruins below. The
heat from the fiery furnace was so intense
that 1t blistered the weather boards of the
depot, on the side next to the fire, very
badly. The water which was constantly
thrown against 1t was all that saved
another building from being the victim OF
the fire-tongued monster. The house &C.
cupied by Robert Rodenbough, standing
only 10 feet from the fire, also narrowly
escaped being burned. 1t caught fire sew
eral times, but, owing to the prompt ac-
ton of the men, was saved from ruin.
Some Of our brave young men assembled
to the roof, and from there threw water
against the end OF the house. They
worked hard and faithfully, even endan-
gering their lives to save 1t. Young men,
we congratulate you for your heroic
deeds. We feel that much credit is due
you for what you did Tuesday night.
Surely, the way in which you displayed
your heroisnl is 80 deeply impressed upon
the minds OF those who saw you that 1t
cannot easily be blotted out. This is in
deed narrow escape for West Main st.
Had there been an east wind the whole
Southeast side Of it may have been laid In
ashes to-day. But fortunately, the brisk
wind Of the day had fallen 10 gentle
breeze.
The losses are as follows: J. w. Al
temus s. Bro, $4,000, insured for So, 400.
Evans and Sluman, $4,000, insured for
$4,000. w. Fl. Jones, $500, insurance
$3.50. The band Lost, besides torches,
caps and other things, very handsome
band wagon, valued at 1925. The total
loss, including the damage done to Mr..
Moser's house and the L. v. RR. depot,
will amount to about $12, 900.
The fire is thought to be the work of
incendiaries.
