Buckley in speaking of the matter to a
Journal reporter.
One of the worst fires in recent years
was when the laundry at the Insane
Hospital burned Oct. u, 1865. The
department arrived on the scene and
found that there was no water pres
sure to amount TO anything on the
MIGRANTS. the loss was $4,000 with no
insurance. Hose l and and hook
and ladder I responded to this call and
it was only through strenuous fire
fighting that the entire Hospital was
not burned.
There was practically no pressure
or the hydrants and with what water
that could be procured, also with the
aid Of a few chemicals the firemeN
fought nobly in subduing the flames.
1t is interesting to notes that Chief
Buckley regards chemicals as the best
Of fire eXtinguiShers. He claims that
they eXtinguish seventh-eighths of the
fires IN this city. Three gallons of the
chemicals used in the eXtinguishers
equals in value 125 gallons of water.
Hose house No. l and house No. .
arc equipped with some Of the late
fixtures that are found In up-to-date
fire houses. The sliding pole is a
fixture that is used to expedite the
fireman's trip from the apartments
above to the floor beneath, where the
horses are kept and the hose wagon is
always in readiness for a run TO some
part of the city.
Many have noticed Atlantic Hose No.
and its pair of large gray horses SC
skillfully driven by Steward and
Driver NJ. j. Moody. Atlantic Hose
house is located on the east side of the
river and is of great service in that
section of the city. II is 4 pity that
the city does not provide a better place
for the hose outfit. 1t is true that
the house is equipped with q sliding
pole, similar to the one used by Cush-
noe Hose, but the building is small and
poorly built for a place of this kind.
fair and just criticism is that new
house is needed. 1t is located in one
If the most important parts of Au-

Disadvantages, however. it is a we'll

story told that one nan of this city, on
invitation attempted to cut ii with q
knife and after Il few futile attempts re-
marked that he guessed that he would
have to have an AK to do the jop with!
Right off from the reception room are
the bedrooms where several OF the nlen
sleep, including the chief, anu up stairs
are more rooms where more men sleep.
These rooms are kept very rcat and clean
and always receive the most favorable
comments from visitors. Pictures adorr
the walls and the beds are Of white en-
'ariei and SNOWY liner.
One of the dangerous places III the city
for rapidly driven fire team is from the
Cushnuc house down Bridge 1871. across
the railroad tracks. II IS Il wonder That
an accident has never occurred here. for
the teams come down over the hill quick
ly and should a train be on the crossing
it would be next to in!posstl e to avert q
collision. TIC firemcr, and justly, think
that the railroad company should keep Il
flGcman at the crossings rights to warn
teams of the approach of trains. There
is one case on record where the street
was blocked by train as Il hose wagon
was making Il run for fire and the
driver, TO save his team, threw his horses
and thds prevented the team collilinG
with the train. il was 4 mystery how the
team survived the ordeal. but it is a mat
ter of record that it did and did valiant
service at many other fires
In mentioning the danger of the
crossing on Bridge street it may be of
interest to quote a story from the old
records OF a little incident at the cross
ing. 1t is as follows:
In his younger days Green Flags
was an ardent fireman and as boy
often ran on the machine with him. In
Ole of the old days Of the smaller loco
motives, when the Cushnoc was on the
way to fire down Bridge hill. freight
train broken in two, blocked the way
The little locomotive strained to clear
one half of the crossing. Green, eXas-
perateG With the delay, rushed TO the
rear end Of the cars and pushed with
might and main to assist the locomotive
while the lockers on yelled encourag ing-
ly. If his Judgment failed, certainly
no person could doubt the sincerity
and ardor OF the zeal displayed"

known fact that Atlantic Hose is al
ways On hand at fire and the work Of
its force is most commendable.
Many improvements have been made.
Cus,noc hose house has been turned
over to the department for its use and
there are six men that room there, in
Guiding the chief engineer, and por-
ton Of the time there is a larger fam
lily than this. A new bath room has
been fitted up, the fixtures being the
gift Of Horace North with the excep-
tinn of the shower bath. which was
tie gift of the B. F. Parrot Co. of
this city. Even when 4 man is TAX
ing his bath he is on the alert for the
alarm of fire, and it has been the case
in one or two instances that an alarm
has been sounded when tiremen were
bathing but they were out of the tub
in jiffy ard into their clothing, linn
tied in number of pieces. When TAX
ing a bath 4 fireman spends as little
time in the tub as possible. for he
cannot tell at what moment he will be
called to the field of action.
Two new furnaces have also beer
placed in the building and an electric
hitch has been arranged for all the doors
SC that they arc opened automatically by
the electric curYent. New harness for the
hook and ladder horses has been provided
and the truck HIS been vanished. Re
pairs about the various hose houses have
also been made and other work has been
done.
The main room of Cushnoc Hose is a
very comfortable ard well-arrangcd place,
now that Il pool table and other fixtures
have been installed. There are signs
about the room, such as no betting on
games allowed" etc. that shows the
spirit of the place. The decorations on
the walls are N harmony with fire
mans life. as such scenes as a fireman
saving lady inlh burning building, play
ing the irose-o tire flames and many 9TH
ers of similar nature, are shown. There
is cake" THAI rept,ses on the center
table that always attracts much atten-
ton, but when il is turned over and it is
seen that the cake" is IN reality very
