INDUCED in the e~Xhilarating amuse-
ment of pelting a neighbours house
win rocks, breakiug doors and win
uo"s, ana driving the occupants out

The Continental Hose Company, of
GilDerton, has determined to have q
steam fire engine and is actively
engaged in the work of raising the
necessary funds. A picnic Will be
held at Gilberton park ON Aug. 22d to
help he cause along. There is no
reason why they should not have a
steamer, as the water pressure at
Gllberton is hardly sufficient for fire
service and it would be well for
Maizeville and Mahanoy Plane to Join
hands with Gilborton and make the
steamer a certainty, for il would
undoubtedly be of great service TO all
towns inside of Gilberton borough.
The water supply from Mud Run
has been steadily falling of for two or
three years, owing to increased con-
sumption, and as this increase is likely
to continue, the pressure will ulti-
mately fall below the limit required
for efficient fire service. 1t will thus
be seen that a steam fire engine will
be a necessity, sooner or later, and
might as well be obtained now as at
some future time.
