PIONEER ENGINE HOUSE
No. 2 Fire Company and Its Predecessor, the
Franklin.
The Outline Volunteer Companies
and the Strong Feeling of Rivalry
Whfcl, Existed at That Time.

Old No 2 engine house, on D street near
18th. will soon be vacated by the engine
company and Chief Paris, with his two
assistants, and the Chemical Company will
fall heir to the pioneer engine house in the
District. Could the wallis speak, what a
story they would tell. For thirty-eght
years the building has sheltered brave men,
wkcse rehearsal of the stirring times would
fill volumes. Engine Company No. 2 has
lcng been the pride of Chief Paris. and to
be member of that historic company is
synonymous with being fearless fireman.
The district covered by this company is
considered the most important in the city.
and Chief Paris uses more than ordinary
care In selecting the members.
For years, however, the efficiency of the
company has been embarrassed from lack
Of sufficient quarters, and the men and
horses have suffered alike by reason of the
unsanitary condition of the building. 1t
has been especially hard with the horses,
and many have died from the disease
known as big head" An effort made
to purchase the ground Immediately in the
rear and enlarge the building. but the
price of the ground was too high, and
site on Ohio avenue was finally purchased.
Now that Engine Company No. Is to
pass from ts~old home, a brief history of
the organization will not be amiss. Up to
within a few years ago, that brave con-
scientious fireman, who gave the best part
of his life to the public service, John Mad
dox. was at the head of the company. AS
Chief Paris is wont to say, John Maddox
vas every inch a fireman, and a braver
man never lived" 1t is to him that No
owes its standing, for he made the eff
cheney of that company the study of his
life. When he died his mantle fell upon
James kelliher, and he has already demon

accepted by Pre- sdent Zeiaye and his cabl-

of this settlement came from the Nicara-
guam representative at Washington. and 1t
Is believed that such an adjustment would
be agreeable to the United States author1-
ties. II Nicaragua'S acceptance is given
the propositions will be urged on the Lon
don foreign office, and 1t is believed they
will be accepted.
Warships Ordered to Nicaragua.
There were two interesting developments
in the Nicaraguan situation last night.
One was the ordering of two United States
warshps to Nicaragua and the other was
the official disclosure Of the fact The
news about the ships was given to the
press by Secretary Herbert after q long
conference with the President and Secre-
tary Gresham at the White House.
Ex-senator Warner Miller president OF
the Nicaragua Canal Company, had pre-

as president
The meeting which resulted in the for
maticn of the Franklin company, or No.

1914. James H. Blake presided at the meet
Ing, with Charles Glover secretary Messrs
Peter Lomax Clotworthy Stephenson,
Roger Z. Weightman, James NJ. Varnum
and Charles Glover We're appointed a COM
mittee to frame rules and obtain subscrib-
ers to fund with which to purchase ap-
paratus, &c. This company was given
chargs or the engine purchased by the
treasury Department, which was housed
In a small frame building Just south of
where the treasury building now stands.
A few years afterward a new house was
built near the north front of the treasury
building. This was a small wooden struc-
ture. and it was surmounted by tower, in
winch was a clock with gong. the only
pubic tlmepiece in that section.
The Early Locations.
The engine first used was primitive ma
chine, with copper cylinders and prodig-
iously long arms. but this wore out. and a
new engine was ordered to be built by the
celebrated Patrick Lyons of Philadelphia
This engine was known for years after
ward as the "Padelion." The company at
this time took the name of the Alert Can't
Stephenson was succeeded in the presi-
dency by w. w. Billings, and then came
w. w. King. jr. In 1926 a new engine
house was built on the triangular space
north of the avenue and west of 18th
street, but soon afterward another house
was built on the opposite triangle, facing
on l4th street. The late Charles L. c.
Coltman was the president, and in 1927 the
name Franklin was adopted. Mr.. McCln-
took Young. for many years chief clerk of
the treasury, succeeded Mr.. Coltman as
president. Prior to 1880 the old Union De-
batting Society occupied the public hall in
the second story of the building, and num-
bers of its members ran with the company.
In 1857 this house was demolished, and
the company removed to D street near
18th. and kept up its organization until the
paid tire department came into existence,
In 1864. On it's roll of membership there
were the names of many of our prominent
citizens. There were times when the rowdy
element seemed to get the upper hand of
the more staid firemen. but such occasions
were rare. Among the presidents not above
named were W. Kirkwood, ]. A. NJ. Dun
canson. Robert Coltman, Thomas ]. Fisher

was debated, not always with the best of
feeling, and finally, in 1857, convention
was held and committee was appointed
to examine the question. The conclusion
reached by this committee was that the
Columbia was entitled to be regarded as
No l, as it always bore that Iame. The
Unicn company, which was generally re-
garded as the predecessor of the Franklin
company, disputed this claim.
Soon after the removal Of the govern
ment to this city an appropriation was
made by Congress for the purchase Of two
fire engines. In 1903 the then corporation
Of Washington made an appropriation for
the purchase Of engines for the protection
OF the market buildings, but there is no
record of the organization of companies
until the year 1904. In that year the city
council established fire wards. and meet
ings for organizing companies in the four
wards were called. The Union company

vtouSly been In consultation with Secretary
Gresham and other officials and DIR. Guz-
man. the Nicaraguan minister, and the
sending of ships to Nicaragua for the pro-
lection of American interests Is believed to
be almost entirely due to his representa-
tions of the necessities of the case. His
arguments must have been most convinc-
ing to have induced the administration to
send the ships back to the isthmus almost
Immediately following their withdrawal.
Protection of the Canal.
Mr.. Miller said that the canal company
was much interested in events in Nicara-
qua. The concessions of the company were
safe, being from a de facto government,
but the line of the canal was not. He said
that the concessions entitled the entire line
of the canal to protection, but an uncon-
trollable revolution might result in de-
struction of property by irresponsible per-
sons Mr.. Miller urged upon both Secre-
tary Gresham and Secretary Herbert the
necessity of protection to the engineer COM
mission, and also indicated that as United
States citizens were so largely interested
in the canal and its property, in case of
revolutionary disturbances the United
States should not depend on the Nicara-
guam government to protect the property.
DispOsing the Warships.
The Alert, which has been stationed for a
month or more at Panama. watching the
progress of the revolutionary movement
at once to San Juan del Sur. the nearest
cable port to Corinto, Nicaragua. The
Atlanta, now on her way from Kingston to
Key West. and expected to arrive at the
latter place at any moment. will find wait
Ing her orders to sail at once to Greytown,
the eastern terminus of the proposed Mica
ragua canal. The Montgomery, now at
Mobile, will follow the Raleigh on May Z,
with the Nicaraguan canal commission on
board. The Monterey having sailed Sun
day from Acapulco direct for Panama is
not expected to touch at Corinto, and as
she is now beyond the reach of orders by
wire. she will probably be allowed to re-
lieve the Alert. on guard at Panama,
whence she can be ordered back to Mica
ragua If occasion arises in the future.
To Guard American Interests.
Secretary Herbert explained briefly the
n Gaming of these orders. He said that the
movements of the ships had nothing to do
with the present occupation Of Corinto by
the British. that being a matter to be set
tied between the Nicaraguans and the
Evening star., 1895-04-30

British The real purpose of the orders
was to guard American interests in Mica
ragua against the consequences of pos
sible revolution which may result from
the disturbed condition of the country.
Being asked what measure of protection
the Nfcaraguan commission would receive
in the pursuance of it's work Of inspecting
the line Of the canal, the Secretary said
the Montgomery would remain at Greytown
while the commission was in the interior,
and with two ships on one side and one on
| the other there would surely be force
enough to protect the commission and all
other American interests that otherwise
might be endangered by revolution.
No Trouble Expected.
Certainly the character of the United
States vessels which have been ordered to
Nicaragua is a sufficient evidence that
Secretary Herbert does not expect them to
come into hostile conflict with the British
ships. for if it came to that the small cruis-
ers Atlanta and Montgomery would find
themselves opposed to the whole British
West India squadron. while on the Pacific
side the old corvette Alert would be left
single-handed against the British Royal
Arthur, Wild Swan and Satellite.
Great Britain and Honduras.
The story of a contemplated onslaught
by Great Britain on Honduras for debt is
regarded as absurd, as there is no justifi-
cation Of such action. If the British have
any claims against that country they GER
tainly do not grow out of the Insult offered
to a British official on which Great Britain
has made the issue in the Nicaraguan
case and If there be any claims for ILL
treatment Of individuals, they would first
be pressed by ordinary diplomatic courses
before they are made the basis Of naval
demonstration.
The story Is that Great Britain is pre-
pairing to take aggressive measures for the
collection Of the interest on Hondurian
bonds negotiated in England. upon which
that republic defaulted nearly twenty years
ago. and the proposition is to collect the
revenues of Hondurian ports.
The principal ports liable to blockade or
occupation are Amapala. on the Pacific
coast, and Trujillo. on the Atlantic.

AKRON, O., Jan. 5.-A bold attempt was made at 1 o'clock this morning to blow open the safe in the office of Seiberiing, Miller & Co.,. at Doylestown. The night watchman was seized from behind as he attempted to enter the office door by three men, who bound and gagged him.. They drew a large bag over his head and body and tied him to a chair, while they began operations. Three attempts were made to blow open the safe. The noise of the ex- plosiyes aroused the neigh bors, who frightened the burglars away. Several shots were fired. The men had evidently made preparations beforehand last night. They left town by team which had been stolen from D. Hart.

GREAT EXCITEMENT PREVAILS.

o INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 5.-It has developed here as the result of an investigation that wholesale grave robberes are being in- dulged in by students of colleges in this city. The recent burning of the Indiana Medical college, when twenty subjects were lost, has created an excitement, and agents have been secured in the surround ing towns to keep track of burials. Within the past week two corpses have been re- covered by friends in pickling vats of the local colleges and the excitement is so in- tense that residents of suburban towns are forming vigilance committees to prevent the disturbance of their dead.
