rhE FlRs AlARM EXILE.
Firemen Out In All Parts of the City
earching For Fire To-day.

Firemen Out In All Parts of the City
searching For Fire To-day.
w. n. Kirnap, an expert electrician
from the office of the Gamewell Electric
Company in New YORK, came t . this city
yesterday to examine the Are alarm sys
tenn and ascertain the cause of its dis
organization, which Frank w Pierson
the new superb tendent. had utterly
failed to discover. Mr. Kirnan put the
system again In working order. and spent
the remainder of the day in coachilg
Mr. Pierson and explaining how the
system was operated The boxes were
each tested in turn yesterday and found
to work satisfactorily.
This morning the whole system was
found again to be disoi ganized At
o'clock a. m. the gongs in all the engine
houses began to strike and the firemen
got out of their hammocKs and were
speeding In different directions, search
lag in vain for a fire. The Weccacoe
indicator registered 81 and the boys
had a long gallop out Lancaster
ayeuue. A run out Lancaster avenue is
one of the most trying things on the
horees. consequently false alarm there
always puts the fremen into an unpleas-
ant state of temper, so that when they
returned, the remarks which they made
nse Of toward Superintendent Pierson
were neither delicate nor plimentary.
In the Friendship house the indicator
registered 21 and the engine started to
Seventh and Railroad avenue, only to
learn that no alarm had been sent in and
that the run was only the result Of the
incompetency of the new management
In both the Phoenix and Reliance
houses the indicator registered No.
3. and the fireman trotted to Tenth and
Orange streets, while in the Washington
and Fame Hose houses No. 81 was
registered. The whole apparatus was
run down this morning and Mr. Piersen
did not at first seem to know what the
trouble was.
A prominent Republican said this
morning: "The Police Commission has
made a huge mistake in selecting an
incompetent superintendent like young
Pierson to Gil so responsible q position.
The lives of numbers of ci izens may be
in that mans hands, and yet he knows as
much about the system as do
The only qualifications which he has soi
the position are that he may have sold 3
few electric bells and obtained 8 certif
cate on electricity when graduating
graduated too, and would no soonel
undertake to superintend that system
than would to run an engine to Phila
delphis. hope the Police Commission
will rectify their error tomorrow even
ing"
superintendent Plerson of the FIR
alarm telegraph system, states that tn
alarm which rang out for several min
utes. about o'clock this morning, wa
caused by supporting pin dropping a
Tenth and Madison streets, and allowinI
the wires to come in contact with tn
electric light wires.
