NEW ENGINE SHOWS UP WELL

It Was Tested Before a Large Crowl
 of People as Well as Many FiremeI
 and x-Firemen-The New Machin(
 Cost Over $5,000 and Win Be Sta
 toned at the Burton Street House
 The new fire steamer was tested thl afternoon on the east side of the gree and while the board of safety, VII witnessed the test, did not give officis approval, it is understood that ever test was q maintenance of the guaran tee of the manufacturers, the Amer can Fire Engine Go of Seneca Falls, '. There were present Chief Coffin the Bridgeport fire department an Commissioner James O'Rourke Of tn board of safety of that city; Chlc( Fletcher of New Haven and Chief Gant ney of Ansonia. Mayor Kilduff was also present with pad and pencil taking notes of the various tests. The tests began at 40. In twelve minutes forty pounds of steam were generated, tho first five pounds taking eight and one- half minutes. Two lines of hose 500 feet long extending along West Main street to the Colonial Trust Go build~ ing, was laid and in a jiffy the wind was playing with two streams of water that reached almost to the highest tree on the green. In the next test the hose was shortened half the distance and another line added. The three streams drenched the crowd that stood around the City hall. They were higher than in the first test. So far everything was sat sfactory. IE the next test another nozzle was added and finally the ''deluge nozzle" was adjusted to the hose and shower went up that dampened everything in sight. AZ shower of fire descended in the neigh borhood of the panting engine, burn | ing holes through mems clothing and hats, while the heavy shower that came from the scattered streams of water high in the air drove people to shelter. The engine is guaranteed to pump 900 gallons a minute through two lines of hose and q proportionate increase with every additional nozzle put on. It is unquestionably a hand some looking machine. It is an im- provement on the latest thing in it's line and in front on plate nears tue names of the members of the board of safety. Messrs F. A. Taylor, D. ]. La- hey, Edward B. Hardie, Peter B.

 Taken to Elm City To-day.

Although the attorney removed to New Haven some time ago he kept his office ill the Bohl block up to the present time, but lie didn't call tliere over once or twice since he settled in the Elm city. The books and other property were loaded onto a team be- longing to the Peck & Bishop Co. One of the horses attached to the vehicle sported ''clubv foot, the result of an accident received some time ago while assisting others of his kind to haul a boiler through the streets of New Ha. ven. Owing to some mismanagement the horses foot got caught under one of the forward wheels and was ground off at the fetlock. It was suggested that the animal be shot. but the horse being valuable one. the owner de- cided to wait and see if the hoof would not grow out. And it did grow and in time the horse was able to return to work. At present it looks like a knottv stick, but after the animal gets warmed I'D he can use it just as well as he could before the accident. In supporh of this statement the driver proudly re- ferred re the fact that he had made the trip to Waterbury to-day and expected to return and md the horse in excel> lent condition.

The number of American girls who are now holding important positions in French opera has caused no little dis content among the Paris public. Not that there is any personal prejudice against Americans. but simply because it is considered that French artists should have the first showing where enga cement at their national theaters are concerned. But it is unquestion- able that voices are beginning to be scarce in France, whereas America is advancing steadily as the country for good material which requires only classical training abroad to develop all the qualities necessary for aperatic success.
