THE CHEMICAL ENGINE.
1t Was Tried Yesterday and Seemed !
Good Investment,


The new chemical engine received a
very satisfactory trial yesterday in the
vacant lot on Grant street. near Grove
street. A wooden shed had been built
and filled with barrels and shavings.
These and the boards of the shed were
thoroughly saturated with signal oil, SO
that the structure was about as infam-
mable as anything could be.
The test was under charge of Chief
Norton, assisted by Assistant Rogers. A
large concourse of the juvenile element
of this town were present to inspect the
trial and give advice.
The chemical engine, with William
Miller to drive and Captain F. c. Berry
in charge, was stationed at the corner of
New State and Grant streets. II he shed
was touched off, and at once blazed
fiercely. Chief Norton swung his hat to
Captain Berry, and the engine came
tearing up. Captain Berry jumped off,
ran up to the fire with the end of small
rubber hose, and began to play little
stream not much larger than is afforded
by garden hose. 1t was an insignificant
stream for such fire, but the effect was
magical. Theafire literally vanished be-
fore the stream, and in a minute and a
quarter the shed was free from fire.
Probably not over 25 gallons of liquid
had been used, while as many barrels
from an ordinary engine would not prob
ably have put the fire out. The way the
chemical engine handles fire is interest
ing 1t starves the fire out. 1t is well
known that an ordinary fire is a chemi-
cal process in which the oxygen of the
air plays leading part. Get the oxygen
out of the way and you cannot have a
fire; it cannot live. The chemical en-
CINE gets the oxygen out of the way by
introducing carbonic acid gas, which
drives out the oxygen. The fire then
starves at once. s3sSss, psgN
The carbonic acid gas is, for convent
ence and economy in application, put in
solution in water, but the gas itself, after
the water is exhausted will, if played
upon the fire, do as well.
The engine has two cylinders, each
holding 90 gallons of water, which re-
lieve one another at fire. In each cyl
inder is 20 pounds of bi-carbonate of So
da, in solution in 60 gallons of water. In
a little ball above this solution is 10
pounds of sulphuric acid. When the
machine arrives at fire the fireman
turns lever, which dumps this sulphu-
ric acid, or vitriol, into the solution. At
once chemical ferment begins, and the
liquid becomes water effervescing car
bonic acid gas, and making pressure of
100 or 200 pounds. This is the COM
pound that starves the fire by robbing
it of its food, oxygen.
The obvious advantage of the engine
is that it is light, and can be got to fire
quickly. 1t can ibe put into play almost
simultaneously by pressing lever, and
it can extinguish fire with the use of
very little water, and consequently a
minimum of damage.
1t is centrally located on Market street,
and is intended to be first at all fires ex-
cept those in the extreme portions of the
city. The cost of the engine was over
$4,000.

WESTERN RAILROADS.
A PASSENGER RATE WAR NOW IN
PROSPECT.
The Meeting at Chicago Adjourned With
out Arriving at an Adjustment-The
Great Northern Inaug urates
a Cut in Freights.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-After four days.
proftless wrangling over the Pacific
coast rate situation, the passenger
meeting of the Trans Continental asso-
citation adjourned yesterday, subject to
the call of the chairman. The only re-
suit of the meeting thus far developed
is the withdrawal of the Canadian Pa
cifc from the organization. Every effort
to reach an amicable adjustment of the
existing differences fell fat.
Although the Great Northern is not
yet out of the Transcontinental associa-
ton, it is beginning to make trouble,
having announced cut of 1215 cents
per 100 on canned goods, borax. wine and
beans, from San Francisco to the Atlantic
seaboard, in direct violation of the
agreement. 1t is probable that the line
will be compelled to cancel the cut rate
at present, but this will not prevent
depredations in other directions, as it is
generally believed that President Hill
adopted the free lance policy.
In the meantime the Canadian Pacific
has made o sweeping reduction in
freight rates from Boston and New York
to St. Paul, which will have the effect
of lowering far western rates. The mat
ter is being investigated.
A passenger rate war in the Transcon-
tinental territory is imminent, as the
result of the failure of the interested
roads to adjust their differences. The
Atchison people are said to be consider
ing the advisability of putting into effect
at once a second-class rate of $14 70
from the Missouri river to California
points.

THE WRECKED wHALEBACK.
All Hope of Saving the Charles w. Wet

EMPIRE CITY, Ore, Sept. 9.-The dense
fog which prevailed all forenoon pre-
vented any investigation into the condi.
ton of the whaleback steamer Wet
more, which went ashore yesterday.
When the fog lifted, at 1870, the
tug Hunter went down to the
wrecked vessel, but was unable
to get near her. She is lying parallel
with the beach, having been moved
some by the force of the breakers. A
heavy northwest ground swell is run
ming every breaker sweeps her decks
from stem to stern. All possible
hopes of getting the whaleback
off, have been given up. Captain
O'Brien took liieboat and several OF
his men this afternoon and started to
the scene of the wreck. but learned from
Captain Loeb, of the life-saving station,
who had just returned from the wreck,
that it would be impossible to board the
steampr

PORTER RESIGNED.

ROME, Sept. 9.-The Italia announces
the resignation of Albert G.. Porter,
United States minister to Italy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The announce
ment contained in the cable message
from Rome, that Porter, the American
minister to Italy, had resigned, will not
surprise persons in official circles,
if the report should be verified.
at the time Porter returned to
Rome, after the prolonged absence
occasioned by the recall of Baron Fava,
it was stated that he would before
long tender his resignation, to enter
politics, and it is presumed that this an
nounced intention has been carried out,
though the absence of the officials de-
lays it's verifcation in Washington.

Aeeries of Bank and Building So

BY the Associated Press.l
LONDON, Sept. 9.-[Copyright. 1892.
by the New York Associated Press]--
Among the first fruits OF Chief Secretary
Morley's presence in Ireland, is the re-
lease OF man who has been Imprisoned
for contempt Of court by defying the
decision Of judge on question Of evic-
tion. Morley has gone the whole lergth
the law allows him in releasing the
prisoner. Being asked if he would re-
fuse to aid the police in effecting evic-
tions in Ireland, Morley said he had
been warned that he was bound by law
to assent to officers assisting the sheriff
in carrying out evictions. If he refused
to give such assent, then. the Irish
Unionists would indict him for breach
of the law.
MONSTER TRADES CONVENTION.
The convention Of the trades congress
now in session at Glasgow, is the biggest
meeting that body has ever held. There
are in attendance 495 delegates, repre-
senting 2l9, 1854 members. The conven-
tion is attracting little interest and
much Of the proceedings verge on the
farcical.
A SERIES OF FINANCIAL CRASHES.
The failure OF the House and Land
Investment Fund (Limited), announced
today, is part of series of gigantic bank
and building society suspensions now
involving liabilities approximating
96,000,000. The first failure an
nounced in this series was
that of the London and General
bank Qimited) next the Liberator Per-
manent Building and Investment So
ciety, and now comes this. The nom
inal capital of each of these concerns
does not represent anything approach.
London and General bank are roughly
estimated at 91,OO0, 600; those OF the
Liberator society at &c, 100000, and the
House and Land trust at s2,000,O0O.
ANOTHER BANK INVOLVED.
Another great building and bank So
ciety is involved in serious financial diff
ficulties, but it's Suspension is not yet
announced. The collapse of this con-
Germ will shake the whole building
society system in Great Britain. A run
occurred today on one of the oldest and
most prominent banks in London, the
Associated Workmen's Building Funds.
Although the suspensions must affect
the general financial position, a singular
fact of the crisis ia that it causes no
panic or scare.
LIFE SAVING SWEPT AWAY.
The Limited Building bank investors
are all small capitalists whose life saw
ings are swept away or imperilled by
the failure of the concern. The losses
which led to the suspension are chiefly
traceable to injudicious speculation and
land blocks. SO far no sus picion OF mai
versation attaches to the directors
of any of the ruined COM
panies, although the shareholders
charge them with concealing the true
positions of the institutions. Although
finance is in the meantime unaffected,
the widespread ruin brought on small
investors by the disasters must soon
cause strain upon the big banks.
