Need for Chemical Fnpine.

The need of a chemical engine in Ben
ming was pOintedIy illustrated last Tues
dav. when No. 10 Engine Company was
called TO fire out on tho Sheriff road
in Dcanwood. on the borders OF the
District The call was sounded at SLY
o'clock q. m. and the company made the
run about three miles, in twenty minutes.
Hv that time the frame dwelling in
which the fire originated was beyond
SAVING. The company could not ind q
supply of water 10 put out the blaze,
and with the chemical wagon could do
no more than keep the fire from eX-
tending TO surrounding property The
fire was finally eXtiuguished and the
company returned 10 quarters at 1870 p.
m. But during half a day the whole
Northeast section Of the city was with
out protection. except such as the de-
partment al large could give More
over, the engine was practically useless
ON the Sheriff road, as il pumped one
Of the wells dry In about five minutes.
