came as a great shock 10 his associates
and host Of friends in the department

Mr.. Martin was born in Pennsylvania
about sixty-seveu years ago, and at the

There is no likelihood that any attempt
viii be made ION TO "OsleTize' the nrc
department In fact. its ranks are full
Of some Of the youngest and liveliest
old men to be found in Washington.
Some Of them have seen service OF thirty
years, and quite a number are left OF
those taken into the department IN 1879,
when two truck companies and new
engine company were formed at one
time Capt. Howard Wright OF No. J.,
IS one OF the latter. and he has taken
the trouble 10 collect considerable data
concerning the old boys of the ser
vice, which he placed at the disposal Of
The Times man during the week
It appears that Alex Savoy. driver Of
No. 10 and d. Williams. of No. 1, are
the oldest men IN the department in
point Of service. Both joined the depart
ment IN 1872. at about the same time.
Both are excellent hOrsemen and both
have been drivers all the years Of their
service Williams was once a driver of
Trlck B, and Savoy IN his time has been
driver OF No. 6. Truck a, and No. 10.
After these two the next Oldest man
IN the department is jeremiah O'Leary.
now assistant engineer Of No. u Mr..
O'Leary came into the department in
1873. He has at different times been a
member OF No 4, the old Metropolitan
Truck Company, Truck A, captain Of No.
4 and Truck A. and a member of No. 6
and No. II Mr.. OLeary is still an
active man and good for several years
more Of service.
A year later Sam Edwards Joined the
service, and Is now detailed as driver
for Battalion Chief Sullivan.
In 1875 william Kicks. engineer OF No.
s. became a fireman, and has had places
In No. 4, No g. and No. S. The same
year r. Dickson was sworn IN as a fire
man, and is now a private of No. 10.
OF those who came into the service IN
1879. is Captain Wright. who has been
commander OF a company since 1897 II
was al that time that representations
were made to Congress that the city
was poorly equipped against fire. and
concentrations weer made for two trucks
and one engine company. The old Met

c,,nied the house on Massachusetts ave-
nue. was glvenSto the new company 6,

A Sniral Man Trap.

But the general faulthnder has not
rested with commenting upon ,he mes
senger service, but has Ventured 20
criticise even the safety OF bmlcing
that has long been looked upon as one
of Washington's architectural gems The
Doint of attack is the lighting system u
the building. or rather the lack Of
proper Illumination Of the stairWays.
That persons have not been seriously
injured upon the winding circular stair
ways at either end Of the center corri-
dor is said to be due only 70 rare good
fortune. The only light provided FOR
these stairs is shed from incandescents
