1sT WARD HOSE COMPANY.
GOSHEN AFTERMATH.

independent Republican, Goshenl.
During Monday evening the fire
houses were the centre of attraction.
The firemen kept "open house" and
with justifiable pride exhibited the
comfortable and tastefully furnished
quarters to crowd that was constant
ly changing. The handsome carriage
of Lewis Tompkins Hose Go. was
greatly admired as it stood in the
Elliott's house, but the center of at
traction was the chemical engine from
Morristown, nothing of the kind hay
ing ever before been seen in Goshen.
The handsome members of Indepen-
dent Hose courteously explained the
workings of the apparatus, and where
the listener was a good looking
Goshen girl the time required was
naturally long. One of the bachelor
members of that organization is al
legged to have devoted two hours to
such explanation in the case to an ex-
ceptionally pretty girl, who even then
failed to entirely comprehend, and
the explanation had not been conclud-
ed when the visitors left for home
last night. Goshen girls are singu-
larly dense at times. Both parties
cherish the hopes that at some future
time several knotty points may be
made clear.
Goshen has seen many parades of
firemen during the Sc years its depart
ment has been in existence, but never
has the spectacle afforded by yester-
days parade been surpassed.

"THE OLD HOMESTEAD AGAIN. ;


After summer spent on his farm,
among the green hills of New Hamp-
shire, and attending to the duties
that fall to the lot of every prosperous
farmer, and after seeing everything
in shape, crops in and live stock COM
fortably housed for the winter, Den
man Thompson, the ''Uncle Josh" we
all know so we'll, has been persuaded
by Managers Gilmore and Tompkins
to again appear at their popular thea
tire, the Academy of Music" New
York, for limited engagement in
his ever successful drama "The Old
Homestead. - Therefore, on Monday
evening, October 9th, the familiar
chimes Of Grace Church intermingled
with the deeper tones of the great
organ, will awaken sweet memories
of the past in the grand Old Academy,
and Uncle Josh, Cy Prime, Seth Per-
kins, Aunt Matilda, and all the
neighbors will be there to bid you
welcome This seasons production,
Uncle Denman says, will not be bet
ter and more elaborate than all the
others for that would be impossible,
but it will be equally as good in
every respect.
This will probably be Denman
Thompson's final appearance in the
city, He says he is getting most too
old (66 years last February to go
sky larking around the country and
staying up so late nights.
The regular matinees will be given
and popular prices will be the rule.
