Criticism, Don't You Know?

East Liverpool Crlsls.
With all of Pittsburg's blowing OF its wonder
full fire department. the actual facts are not so
rosy. The other night while party of gentle
men from this city were passing the Weldin
block, in Pittsburg, they saw the alarm for the
fire turned in. One of the party pulled out his
watch and timed the appearance of the engine.
1t was fully 20 minutes before the fremen were
on hand. Notwithstanding the fact that the Du-
Quesne engine house is only short distance
from the fire. If this is the best Pittsburg can
do with its supposed-to-be perfect department.
they had better send down to East Liverpool
and get few pointers.
