The fights were not confined TO the

trouble with gangs Of ''toughs." who
hung about the engine houses. looking
for trouble. On one occasion the Frank
Inns were entertaining a visiting company
from Philadelphia, at their house on
Fourteenth Street, near + Street.
The festivities were suddenly in
terrupted by a shower Of rocks that were
flung through the windows. The visiting
company, the Wecaccoe Fire Company,
of Philadelphia was made Up Of strenu-
CTS persons. They were nearly all arm
ed heavily, and replied TO rock attack

and the paid company moved into the
historic old engine house.
During the reign of the volunteers
the National Theater burned twice. At
THE time of the first fire. March .. lS45
the day after the Inauguration Of Pres
ident Polk. there was a company in pos
session Of the theater giving a produc-
ton of Beauty and Beast"
Shortly after the play had commenced
fire was discovered in the back part Of
the building behind the scenes. The cur
tain was dropped. and the manager OF
the theater came out in front and made
q very short address. He told the au-
dience that. owing TO a slight blaze in
the dressing-rOoms, the costumes Of the
actors had been badly damaged. It
would therefore be impossible TO go on
with the performance. and ne asked the
audience TO retire. He added that their
money would be refunded 10 them at the
box Office and by men stationed at the
various entrances.
All Hands Escape.
When the first Of the audience reached
the doors, the information was wills
pered TO them that the theater was on
fire, and to get out as soon as possible
without alarming those still in the build
ing. In this way the building was emp
tied without excitement or disorder Of
any kind. But when those who had
been inside reached the street and found
the fire engines and crowd and then
turned TO see the flames pouring out OF
the doomed theater, their feelings can
be imagined.
The theater was burned the second
time in February. 1857. The fire com
menced about 1 o'clock in the afternoon
and there was no performance going on
The building was completely gutteI by
the flames. which spread TO the sur
rounding houses. Half the distance 70

Politics was as much the business of
the fire companies at one time as the
fighting Of fires. The Northern Liber-
ties company was finally compelled 20

disband because OF the attacks made
upon them by their political enemies
every time they turned out. The section
Of the city east of Fifteenth Street and
west Of North Capitol was called North
ern Liberties It took its name from
a tavern on Seventh Street near the cid
POstof1ce, which was conducted by a
man who had moved TO Washington
from the corporation Of Northern Lib
critics, now part OF the city Of PhilaleI-
phia.
Politics Cut a Figure.
The politics of this section Of Wash
ington was at one time largely favored
with "Rnow-Nothingism" and the com
pany took its name from the locality.
The commencement Of the downfall OF
the company was the advent Of an or
ganlzation Of alleged hrefghters called
the Unite5 States Hose Company. or
more Familiarity the States Company.
The members of this company were
mostly Baitimoreans and good Demo

they were imported for the specific pur-
pose Of mixing it up" with the COM
panies most closely identified with
acknowledgement
Whatever the truth may be, the States
Company made life miserable for the
Northern Liberties. The turning out Of
the latter was the signal for an attack

when the intervals seemed long between
the legitimate turnouts. tho crafty seek
ers after trouble. turned in false alarms
and laid IN ambush for the Northern
Liberties. These attacks generally ter
minated in riots. and lawlessness Hour

cuted company was obliged to disband.

way place. But no news came from her
and she was eventually entered on the
list Of ships that have disappeared at

a number Of years later an expedition
was sent against the colony Of pirates
in Barataria Bay. Several Of the men
were captured alive and brought to Bal
timore. Among the plumber found
there was a considerable amount Of sill

Der of belongings that Mrs Van Pra-

when the expedition returned to that
