Slippery Walks.

When just the least sprinkling Of
sawdust or ashes makes the footing
safe, to sit indoors by the hour and
watch pedestrians on the pavement
glide, slide and scramble in order to
avoid getting their heels in the air, is,
we admit, little amusing to the sitee
but rather dangerous to the amusee.
We have lived in places where it
was legal requirement for property
holders to look after slippery pave
ments by either removing the ice and
snow or else sprinkling them with saw
dust or ashes enough to render them
safe. And in the event of injury to
any one on account of neglected pave
ment the property-holder upon whose
premises the accident occurred land
not. the city, was liable for damage
sustained.

Exorbitant Taxation.

Cstawissa township being burdened
with tax of 2ob mills on its assessed
valuation begs to be excused from the
contemplated additional assessment
for the building of road from the
Bloom ferry to Mainville. The citi-
zens of the township recently conven,
ed TO protest against the contemplat-
ed additional taxation which they
aver would give them something over
80 mills upon their assessed valuation.
That does seem little high like in
these times.

The difficulty arose from the fact that

Mr.. P. S. Meyer, an old and re-

given quite a surprise on Monday
night at the residence of his son-in-
law, J. w. Mears, on Fifth street.
The participants in the surprise party
comprised about fifty persons, made
up of comrades during the war and
the Ladies' Aid Society of Blooms
burg. OF the bounties of nature there
was such an ample abundance brought
in that about twelve basket fulls could
have been gathered from what re-
manned at the close Of the festive oc-
casion.

In 1874 the Water Works we're
erected. Prior to that time the only
water supply was from wells and els
terms. Several large cisterns were
built for fire purposes, one Of them
being IN the Court House yard. Over
the latter a force pump was placed,
but it was neglected, and was usually
out of order The old hand engine
was filled by forming a line and pass.
ing buckets of water along to the en-.
CINE, into which they were emptied
one at time, until the box was full,
and then the fremen would pump
away until the water was exhausted,
when they would have to stop until
filed again. Weremember one fire when
the men were so intent on watching
the fire that sufficient number could
not be found who were willing to pass
the buckets. Seeing this, the women
formed line and supplied the engine
with water until the men became
ashamed and took their places. Gen.
orally, however. everybody was willing
to lend a helping hand, and the best
service possible with such primitive
means was rendered, and the saving
Of property was sometimes quite sur
prising.
The present fire protection in the
town is unsurpassed by any city in the
State. Every plug is capable of being
converted into an engine that will
throw two streams of water over any
building in the main portion of the
town, while higher places can be
reached by the Friendship steamer.
And there are few towns, where a
Drawer or harder working lot of fire.
men can be found than in Blooms
burg. There is no compensation offer
ed, and no provision tor cases of in.
jury to volunteer fremen while in SER
vice. Efforts have heretofore been
made to have the legislature pass a
law pensioning disabled firemen, or to
pay their families a certain sum of
money in case of fatal injury at fire,
but, thus far no such law has been
passed; but it is meritorious measure
and deserves attention at the hands
of the legislature.

This company has taken a number
of trips away from home. They at
tended the Centennial at Philadelphia,
and participated in the great parade.
In 1881, they went to Reading in
1882 to the Bicentennial in Philadel-
phia in 1883, to Scranton in 1880,
to Carlisle and Gettysburg in 1891,
to Lock Haven, and this year to Norris
town to attend the State Firemen's
Convention, and at other times to
points nearer home.
RESCUE HOSE & LADDER co.
The Rescue Hose & Ladder Co.
was organized in 1868. They have
rooms in the Town Hall, and have a
hook and ladder truck and hose
carriage. They have done good work
at fires, but they have not kept up a
constant organization, though there
are always enough Of them on hand to
get their apparatus out at a fire alarm
and they have done good service.
wINoNA FIRE CO.
The Winona Fire Company was or
ganized in 1881 and continued for six
or eight years in highly prosperous
condition. They had hall on the
third floor of McKinney's building,
now Paul E. Wrt's, and the recep.
tions given by them during the holi-
days will long be remembered. They
sold their hose carriage to the town
and disbanded several years ago, and
since then younger set of boys have
had charge Of it, though with no per
msnent organization.
The Friendship Company has been
the standby, and SO long as "Gilly F"
lives. it will continue SO to be.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
In 1881 fire department was or
ganized, and rules and regulations
adopted. These provided for the cleo
ton of Chief Engineer and two as
sistants, and an annual parade and
inspection. The elections were held
for several years, but there never was
but one inspection, in 1883, when so
little interest was shown by the Town
Council that the hremen never at
tempted it again.
The Friendship Fire Company has
held an annual ball each year since
February a2, 1868, when they had
their first one in Snyders Hall.
A record Of fires in the town has
been kept, and we find them as fol-
lows:

On April 2, 1868, the old Friend.
ship hand fire engine was purchased
from Friendship Fire Company OF
Philadelphia, and was used untll No
vember "a, 1886, when it was sold to
the Philadelphia Fire Association, who
wanted 1t for a relic. 1t was highly
decorated, and was taken by them to
New York, New Orleans, and other
cities on excursions, and about two
years ago it was burned up in fire.
The first hose carriage was purchas
ed in May, 1871, and the helmet hats,
still in use, in June, 1879. The steam
er was bought by the town in 1890.

Since it was first formed the Friend
ship Fire Company has constantly
kept up its organization, and this is
owing to the fact that it had such men
as William H. Gilmore and William
Webb as members. They have stuck
to it through thick and thin. For
years Mr.. Gilmore gave the company
room rent free in his building. They
now occupy rooms in the Town Hall,

broken leg for six months.-N. Y. Sun.
