OLD BOYS AND THE MACHINES.
The Muster of the Veteran Firemen and
Their Tubs.

sary of the New England Veteran Fire
mems Association was held here today.
At least 2500 firemen from all over New
England took part in the parade. The
procession required 35 minutes to pass a
given point, and was reviewed by Cover
nor Russell at the State House, and Al
derman Mitchell at City Hall. Each
the "a companies in line, except the
Barnicoats of Boston, pulled its own tub.
The contest on the Common was held in
rain storm. The prizes were $3.50, S 100
and $50. The Central Falls Volunteer
won, playing 1856 feet; New Bedford sec
ond and Pawtucket third. The Portland
veterans were 10Th, their tub playing 137
feet, 23 inches.
The play-out was conducted under the
rules Of the league. When the s'go''
pistol was heard the company members
were in place and jumped around in
in lively fashion, hauling in, making
suctions, manning the brakes and throw
ing their stream, to be out inside of fif-
teen minutes.
The water had to be thrown through a
pipe not less than 250 feet long, and was
played horizontally, the nozzle OF the
pipe resting on a. stand three feet from
the ground. No more men-although
shifts of men could be- made as
often as desired-were allowed on the
brakes than they were fitted for and no
more than the usual complement of off
GERS was allowed on top of the machine,
to prevent the men on the brakes from
lifting it clear from the ground. This is
where the heavy men came in handy.
From the end of the nozzle, a distance
of $50 feet out, paper was spread On the
ground to width of nine feet. All
water that fell on this paper was counted
in the measurement. The judges were
stationed, two at the pipe, two at the
stream and two at the engine, while the
seventh acted as timekeeper and clerk.
The Judges were ex-Chiefs William A.
Green and George S. Willis of Boston,
Aldermen John H. Lee and John III.
Dever, Chief Engineer Thomas Casey of
Cambridge, and Acting Chief G. l.. Nc
Cam of Brockton.
In the midst of a steady downpour OF
rain, crowd watched the work of the
| men, and the spray from the streams
| helped to thoroughly drench the specta-
| tors.
The Watch City, the Waltham veter-
| ans crack machine, was first to play,
| drawing onthe Frog Pond. After three
trials her best stream was 125 feet.
Then came the old Roxbury veterans,
and they upheld the reputation of their
tub by throwing a stream distance
of 154 feet 81 inches.
| To the tune of ''sDrill, Ye Tarriers,
Drill" Marblehead machine, Seen,
| Glover" was manned, and she had 149
| feet inch to her credit when she left
off.
The Braintree boys with the famous
old Butcher Boy" worked like Trojans,
and when their Is minutes were up the
blackboard showed 149 feet IL 7-S inches
| The Portland boys followed up with
the Atlantic" and their record was
| posted up as 1877 feet 24 inches. There
was lull in the wind, but they failed tc
take advantage of it. So the contest
went until all had had a chance and the
prizes were won as above stated.

JENKINS SURPRISED.

He Does Not Believe Cholera HasSeu HIS
Quarantine.
QUARANTINE, N. Y, September IA
The report of five cases of cholera in
New York city caused intense surprise
among the officials. here. DR.. Jenkins
expressed himself confident the cholera
had not passed quarantine. He said that
all baggage had been disinfected, not
only since the cholera became epidemic
in European ports, but ever since the ty,,
phls fever, in fact ever since he had
been health officer of the port. He said
the best authorities in the world stated
that stringent and complete quarantine
could only claim to prevent 10 per cent
of the possibilities of the Introduction
OF cholera into place, the other 30 per
cent Of the possibilities of cholera in
vading seaport being open to other
means over which quarantine had no
control. He said that it was quite possi-

ALL WELL AND HAPPY.
Normannia's Passengers Expect Relief
Today.

FIRE ISLAND, N. Y, September IA
DIR. Jenkins has telegraphed here that
he will probably release the steamship
Normannia's passengers tomorrow. A
customs officer will come here to disin-
feet the baggage of the passengers. They
will then go to Babylon by boat and
thence to their destination by rail. The
18th Regiment will remain at Babylon to
prevent interference with the landing of
passengers at that place. There is great
rejoicing among the passengers over the
news of their probable release.
DR.. Vought reports the health of the
passengers of the steamer Normannia ex-
cellent. There is no sickness and only a
few cases of nervous prostration among
the women have been reported.

Last Night the Doctors Saw a Slight I'm
provement, but They Have Warned the
Family To Be Prepared for the Worst
Repeated Operations Reducing the
Patients strength-Everything Posi-
BILE Done to Alleviate Her Suffering.
LOON LAKE, September 14.-The
Presidents family make no effort to con-
ceal their great alarm at Mrs. Harrisona
condition. They admit that they are
uncertain as to the result and have, it is
said, quietly intimated to the President
the strong probability of fatal result.
The President rarely leaves Mrs. Harrt
sons bedside He really shares the
nursing of the invalid with the profess
ional attendant. Mr.. Russell Harrison
and Mrs. Mckee, the Presidents son and
daughter, are also in constant attend
ance. Lieutenant Parker said this morn
ing: "The President will remain with
Mrs. Harrison until she gets better. He
has no other plans whatever
Mrs. Harrison Rested Quietly
during the day and had several short
maps, which failed, however, to refresh
her to any noticeable extent. She seems
to suffer principally from exhaustion.
Her physicians see that she has as muc h
relief as possible from physical pain and (
employ every known method to cheer
her up. All the patients friends now
realize that any new complication will
be attended with the greatest danger.
Mrs. Harrison's vitality is at very low
ebb and she cannot successfully resist
further inroads. She has now been con-
fined to her bed since Wednesday and
has gradually declined in strength. This
condition is partly due to two operations
ton of fluid in the chest cavity. The
first operation took place Friday last and
the second on Monday of this week.
These operations
Afford Only Temporary Relief
and they usually are followed by sense
of exhaustion and depression. Mrs.
Harrison stood them both very well and
that has been one of the few favorable
features of the case during the past
week.
At p. m. DR.. Gardner concluded his
examination of Mrs. Harrison and ex-
pressed himself to the family as being
| somewhat encouraged at her condition
In response to inquiries of the news.
paper men he said: II think there is a
| slight improvement IN Mrs. Harrison; b.
condition tonight from the fact that Sic
| is resting quietly and herrespiration is
| not quite so labored as it has beeii.
Fluid has not gathered in the chest as
rapidly as before" He added that l:a
did not care to go further into the de-
tails of the case.
From Other Sources
it is learned that while the production
of the fluid in the chest cavity during
the last "a hours has not been SO extern
sive as during the preceding "a hours,
it is sufficient to indicate that another
operation will be necessary tomorrow
unless a decided improvement occurs in
the meantime. The physicians realize
fully the debilitating effects of these
| drawings, and never make them when
they can be avoided.
DIR. Doughty, consulting physician, left
here this afternoon for visit to Sara
nae. He will pass through Loon Lake
| on his way to New York tomorrow, but
will not stop unless his presence is
deemed necessary.

Candidate for Speaker.

AUBURN, September 14.-Judge Saw
age, who was elected representative by a
good majority in the election Monday,
will be candidate for Speaker of the
next Maine House of Representatives.
Judge Savage was one of the most prom
inent members of the legislature of 1891,
serving on the judiciary committee. He
has served>as county attorney and judge
of probate, and has thrice been mayor of
Auburn. If he succeeds, it will put him
to the front as candidate for governor
four years hence.
The Legislature.
So far as heard from the Republicans
have elected Iii representatives and the
Democrats a. with six districts to hear
from. The last House consisted of 10
Republicans and Al Democrats. It is
certain that the next House, as well as
Senate, will be even stronger Republican
than the last. The new state Senate will
consist of 80 Republicans, and only one
Democrat from Knox county-a Repub-
ican gain of three.
Warren is one of the banner towns.
Last year the Democrats led by GA votes.
This year the Republicans lead them four
votes, increasing their vote from 174 to
1893.

PARIS, September 14.-The Oxford
