MOST SUCCESSFUL TEST.
Water Tower Attachment Put to
Practical Use-Demonstration at
Y. M. G. A. Building.

A number Of city firemen, under the
direction of Superintendent Ferber,
made test yesterday afternoon of the
new water tower attachment and cellar
pipe which have recently been added to
the department equipment.
The new Y. M. c. A. building was
selected for making the test, and the
new hook and ladder truck was brought
into service on the Mulberry street side
Of the building. The new No. steamer
recently purchased, was also put in
use at the corner of Wyoming avenue
and Mulberry street.
A stream Of water was forced through
400 feet of hose, up the grade to the
building from the hydrant and the hose
then extended up the extension ladder
on the truck to a height of 45 feet. At
the end was the water tower attach
ment
From this heghth stream was
forced through an inch and three-quar-
ter nozzle, which easily reached the top
of the building. For this test so pounds
steam pressure and $50 pounds water
pressure We're used. The steam pressure
was afterwards increased to 12O pounds
and this forced the stream high in the
air above the building.
The hose line was then removed from
the truck and placed on the ground,
and from this point an inch and an
eighth stream was sent UP over the
building, clearly demonstrating the ef-
fectiveness Of the test.
Two streams were also sent up from
the ground, when the steam pressure
was increased to 115 pounds and the
water pressure to 21O pounds. The tests
were in every way satisfactory.
The cellar pipe attachment is an in
genius contrivance, which will prove
of great service. A nozzle-like arrange
ment is pushed through hole in the
floor and the attachment on the end is
shifted in every possible direction by
the pipeman in charge. This throws a
stream up or down, in or out, right or
left, as the occasion demands.
There is also attached a perforated
plate, upon which the men stand while
working the attachment, and from this
plate a spray is emitted which effectual-
ly suppresses the smoke arising from
the hole in the floor, and incidentally
browns the fire. 1t also serves the
purpose of preventing the smoke from
interfering with the firemen at work.

Taken to Higher Court.

Two cases recently passed upon by
the court of this county were yester-
day appealed to the state supreme
court. They are the Clarks Summit
Condensery case, otherwise known as
Sayre Lumber company to the use of
Buckman, ct al, trustees, against G. M.
Young, ct al, and the case Of Contrac-
tor V. A. O'Hara to the use of Fleming
& OHara VS.. the city of Scranton
In the first case Judge Edwards hand
ed down an opinion in which he sus
tained the demurrer to the plaintiffs
declaration and gave judgment for the
defendant with costs. The suit was
brought jointly against 1856 defendants
to recover $22466.77 the balance due
for erection of the Clark's Summit Milk
Condensery plant. Judge Edwards de-
cided that the contract entered into
between the plaintiff and the defendants
did not impose a joint liability upon
the defendants.
Judge Newcomb rendered decision
in the other case, in which exceptions
filed to the report of Referee c. B. Lit
tie were dismissed and the report of the
referee was confirmed. In this case the
plaintiffs sued the city for breach of
contract for the construction Of a sewer
in North Scranton. The matter was re-
ferred to the referee, who awarded
judgment in favor of the plaintiffs for
s3,S15.S0. The principal exception was
the liability of the city beyond the
amount actually collected from assess
ments, the contract limiting the city's
liability to the sum actually collected.
They maintained that the city solicitor
was responsible, but Judge Newcomb in
his opinion, stated: ut may be that as
between the city and her solicitor the
default may be charged to the solicitor,
but if so, the city must indemnify her.
self at the expense Of him and his
sureties and not at the expense Of
O'Hara.'

That Wonderful Proteus Parade at
Saratoga.

On September 4, Saratoga will as
sumo the gOrgeousness and the brilli-
ancy of festal Athens. The village will
be transformed into a bower of light
and beauty in honor of the grand Pro-
team parade that will occur in the even-
ing of that day. No words can picture
the marvellous effects that the scheme
of such an unusual event will reflect;
no tongue relate the impressive grand
eur, the charming loveliness of that
night at the Newmarket of America.
For the first time in history, a north
ern spectacular will eclipse the most
successful that the rich south has yet
brought forth. All the features of the
Mardi Gras will be embodied in the
Saratoga fete, while supplemented with
the most startling acquisitions that
northern brains can produce. Scores of
charots will bring into living motion
the entire mythology of the ancients.
Hundreds Of pretty maidens decked in
garlands, and costumed in the graceful
folds of antique dress, will battle in
the beams of thousands of multi-col-
ored lights. Lads, symbolical of the
attendants on the pagan priests. will
bear the censors of ancient Greece and
cense to the gods and godesses. and
Transforming the whole atmosphere
into the contents of the proverbal
Arabian box. Roses and lilies, espe-
cially grown for the fete, will cover the
pavement over which this novel pa
geant will pass, Flower girls and boys
will precede the divinities, scattering
to the music of the pagan hymns,
sweetest of natures offerings. No noise
will there be except that of the youth
full singers, the bands and the soft
toned guzla. So complete will the road
way be covered with petals and leaves,
that even the heavy tramp of the mag
nificent drawing beasts will be dead
ened. Just word about these horses.
Every one that will be used in the night
parade will be of pure Arabian lineage,
as pure as We're the steeds that swung
Ben-Hur to victory against Messala
They have been procured for the fete
alone. and will not be seen In Saratoga
either before or after the pageant. -

One week from Monday the courts
will open again after the summer vaca-
tion. On that day the grand jury will
meet, constables make their returns and
the quarterly term Of equity court
open.
The coming session of the grand jury
will in all probability last about two
weeks for very large plumber of cases
are to come before 1t. Ordinarily the
September grand jury has more work
to do than any other jury of the year
and this year it's work will be unusual
ly heavy on account of the number of
criminal cases growing out of the strike
in which defendants have been held in
bail during the summer.
On Monday, Sept. Is, three weeks
session Of common pleas court will open
and on that day there will also be q
session of naturalization court.

A Point to Insist On.

There are endless numbers of travel
ing people who go regularly from New
York to Chicago and vice versa several
times month, who have never gone
over any other road but the Lake
Shore &: Michigan Southern, because
this road is good enough for them. It's
good enough for anybody, the fastest.
safest, most convenient and most COM
Portable road in America. Once you
travel over the Lake Shore and you will
not want to experiment with any other
road. People who know the comforts
and discomforts of travelling, and what
they have a right to expect. always
insist on their tickets reading by way
of the Lake Shore. So should you. ~
