new ENGINE ACCEPTED.
It Will Be Placed in Service This
Morning-Was Given Another
Test Yesterday Afternoon.

The new frst-Class fire engine pur-
chased by the city from the American
Fire Engine company was given final
test yesterday afternoon on Wyoming
avenue, between Mulberry and Vine
streets. The test was eminently salts
factory, and at It's conclusion Director
OF Public Safety F. l.. Wormser de-
cided to accept the engine, and it will
be put into commission this morning.
Yesterdays test was made with the
view of ascertaining how far the en-
gine can throw n stream of water in
horizontal direction. An attachment
was made to the hydrant at the corner
of Mulberry street and $50 feet of hose
was laid to point about one-third of
the length of the block. Several fire.
men were then stationed near Vine
street with measuring tape. The
farthest point touched by the stream
was marked and the distance between
II and the nozzle was measured.
With an inch and half nozzle, ele-
waited at an angle of about forty-fve
degrees, the engine threw single
stream just 2S1 feet The steam pres
sure registered was l2O pounds. and the
water pressure $50. The water pres
sure lfOili tne fNuTdHt was IOTty-HNe
pounds.
The test with Siamese coupling was
not quite so successful, the distance
recorded being only 259 feet but the
stream was much more powerful one
than the one which carried a greater
distance, the nozzle used being one and
three-quarter inches in diameter. The
engine threw two streams, from inch
and a half nozzles, a distance of 239
feet.
Superintendent II. +. Ferber said
/ after the test, that he proposes at
taching the engine to one of the Lacka-
wanna avenue hydrants some morning
next week, before the street cars COM
menCe running, for the purpose of as
Certaining whether the water pressure
in the Lackawanna avenue mains is
sufficient to supply it with water.
The chief appears TO he confident that
he can prove the water pressure to be
more than sufficient.
81 want to make this test" said he
yesterday, 80 that if the water pres
sure is found to be sufficient and we
have another big fire like that of last
February, the blame for it's spread can
be laid at my door and not laid on the
water pressure"
Permanent man ID. j. Slowe, of the
Nay Aug company, will act as engineer
of the new steamer, and John Kelly
will be stoker. Former Chief F.. w.
Zizelmann acted as engineer during
yesterdays test The engine was built
| in Cincinnati by te American Fire En-
gine company.

IL is proposed by the school board TO
fight to a finish against the collection
of state tax on the school district
bonds. They claim the state has no
right to impose the tax. and II an at
tempt is made to assume such right,
the whole samut of the courts will
be run in an effort to prevent 1t.
President John Gibbons and Solicit
tor ID. j. Reedy waited on the county
commissioners yesterday, to enter
formal appeal from the assessment.
The commissioners declared they were
unable to do anything in the matter.
as they had received specific directions
from Harrisburg to levy and collect
the tax.
A consultation was afterwards held
at the office of Solicitor Reedy. which
a number of the prominent members
of the board attended. No definite
action was decided upon, but It was
tho sense of the meeting that the
board should let the state proceed to
get Judgment If it could, and If judg-
ment was secured to take an appeal
and fight It in the courts.
The states ground for assessing this
tax against the school district is found
in the fact that the school board made
an agreement assuming all taxes as
sessed against whatever bonds 1t is
sued
The sCEcol board opposes the tax on
The ground that only such bonds as
are held within the state are subject
tc Il state tax. and. as far rs the board
knows, all of its bonds, EXCEPT what
few are held in the sinking fund, are
in the possession of parties outside the
state, principally i'm New York and
Boston. The bonds are paying a tax
in stEese other states and cannot be
taxed in this state also.
# the state can show that any of
the bonds are held In Pennsylvania,
the board will assume to pay the tax
Cn them. 1t will also pay tax on the
bonds in the sinking fund. 1t does
not, however, propose to pay tax on
bonds that are already being taxed
in New York and Massachusetts, or
possibly London and Paris.
The district has about $3.50, 900 worth
of bonds outstanding. and some OF
them run for thirty years. Their aver
age life is estimated to be twelve
years. This year the tax would
amount to $1,S0O. Before all OF the
bonded debt is liquidated the district
will have been called upon to pay in
the neigh hborhood of $4,000 in taxes IT
was never before called upon to pay.

Muoh Ado About Nothlng.

Thursday farmer oil Valley town
ship by the name of w. T. Gregory
came TO town to attend to some busi-
ness and look after some land he was
contemplating purchasing. He had a
check which he cashed and some
money amounting in all to about sI3o.
The next day his wife came to town
with friends who were greatly alarmed
because he had not returned home. He
wasn't adicted to drink or any other bad
habits and when he could not be found,
and only few traces OF him about town
where he had been and taken a room
and got meals, they were very much Of
the opinion that he had been a victim
OF foul play. The police looked up his
trail as best they could and concluded
that he had left town, Sure enough
Saturday he showed up ready to so
home. He had taken a sudden notion
to 60 to Oklahoma and had gone with
out taking the pains to notify his FAM
lily or friends. He will probably not do
such a thing again however when he
finds out how great was their alarm at
his disappearance.

He concluded the practice was viola

the opinion of the attorney general to
that effect. 1t was understood that the
express companies had abandoned the
practice but it seems that they have not
done so everywhere and he is prosecut-
