The new fire engine, named after Thad Mullin, was tested yesterday morning at the courthouse and proved to be satis- factory in every particular. It was placed side by side with the Harry Jones, and they both threw streams the same dis tance and seemingly with the same mug gle velocity.
 First the new engine was tried by itself and threw a two-inch stream over the flag pole on the top of the courthouse. In the face of strong wind it threw stream of water about 275 feet almost on a level, ana could 1t have been tested on a calm day. it Is certain the stream of water would have gone to 835 feet. which was the test record made by the other engine.
 After testing the new steamer the old one was sent for, and both were heated to the top notch. Three streams were siamesed from each of the engines, and a two-inch stream was thrown by each. It was impossible to get either stream a foot in advance of the other, and the test was then declared satisfactory.

Clarity which occurred near here
Wednesday morning is removed by
the confession by Joseph Usher, Gar

think, however, that Usher was jealous
