THE STEAMER TESTED.
Present Equipment of Fire Depart
menr-What Should Be Done at
Special Meeting.


The steam fire engine was taken to the
basin Saturday and given thorough test
and convinced at least the fire wardens
that it is as capable of doing as good work
as ever. The steamer was stationed near
Saxtons River and 600 feet of hose was
run to the top of the South Terrace, an
elevation of 80 feet, and strong stream
was thrown 65 feet toto the air. The steam
er was subjected to water pressure Of 235
pounds and steam pressure Of 120pounds
and worked exceleutly tor nearly an hour.
The English Camel coal was used, and the
fire wardens think that the failure of the
steamer to work Satisfactorily on the night
Towns Hotel burned was because Of clink-
ers in the CRATE. They think that if the
English coal had been used there would
have been no trouble. They have ordered
a quantity of this coal for future use.
c. L.Wheeler, one Of the fire wardens,
was asked Monday how much hose the de-
partment now has. He said 1000 feet
of No. l, and 2500 feet of service
able hose. He said that the steamer
