WHY NOT SAVE RELIC?

Only recently the city refused--to sell
the little four wheeled hose truck that
was in use in the Third ward, because
it was felt that it should be held as a
relic in the future But far greater
relic is in possession of the city, unfor-
tunately uncared for. 1t is an old
hose wagon that was used away before
the Civil war at the time when the old
hand engine Minerva was the piece
resistance when confagration threaten
ed
This hose wagon is a numbering
four wheeled concern, rather heavy in
construction, and was made when
wheelwrights worked by hand. The
wheels are high and the tires are fast.
ened on with bolts and rivets the
latter protruding through the tires.
The hubs are bound by brass, and
there is some ornamental iron work.
The reel for the hose is of wood, and
two large wheels are fashioned to hold
the hose in place. There is small
tool box in rear of the wagon.
The old tongue has long since disap-
peared, and some Of the brass fittings
have been carried off by vandals.
This unique relic is in the open
wagon house in rear of the Orange
street fire house. 1t is covered with
| dirt and dust and is subject to some of
the weather.
It would seem that the city would
do we'll to protect and care for this rel
ic. There are those among some of the
older people who remember when this
hose wagon was kept in house on the
Cumberland Nail & Iron Company S
plant, the structure standing at a
point where the driveway from Com
merce street enters the City Park. In
the days before the war the reel of the
old wagon was carrying leather hose
and when there was fire the old hand
engine Minerva and this hose wagon
was dragged to the scene Of the blaze
and volunteers fought the flames
Save the old relic. 1t will attract
more attention at some future demon
stration than the present, modern,
high class apparatus.

ment in the cases of John Jorden and
Joseph Creamer, found guilty of at
tempted larceny, and Walter Tyler, Jr.
for assault and battery on his wife.
They were each sentenced to three
months in the county Jail, the term
beginning to-day.
The Court asked if the Prosecutor
had any cases to move, and, after cal
ling the names Of some witnesses Mr..
Fithian said he had intended to move
the case of DeMaio, but he found that
Antonio Geroso, the complaining wit
ness, and Judge Wescott, of Camden,
another important witness, as we'll as
one or two other witnesses for the
State We're absent, and therefore he
asked for continuance of the trial
until another day. Geroso was in New
York City.
Mr.. Avis said the defence was ready
for trial 4
Judge Tuller said that he felt that
the disappearance of these important
witnesses -indicting the Importance of
Geroso, the complaining witness-was
"a coincidence which did not seem ac-
cideLeal and which was very signifi-
| cant. - While he realized the handi-
| cap to the Prosecutor to try the case in
| the absence of these witnesses, he did
not feel, under these signcifiant Cir
cumstances, that he would allow the
case to bee ontinued and he concluded
"You may proceed with the case, Mr..
| Prosecutor.
A jury was put in the box and then
it was decided to await the arrival of
the Central train from New York with
the hope that Geroso would arrive on
it.
While waiting thirty six jurors were
drawn to return next Tuesday, May
18th, to try couple of cases set for
that day.
Antonio Geroso, being called, did
not appear. Prosecutor Fithian said
he was obliged to submit the case
without offering any evidence.
Mr.. Avis then moved that the court
instruct the jury to return a verdict OF
acquittal. The Court said that in this
case the Court had been imposed upon
by Geroso, the complaining witness,
and the coincidence of his absence and
the absence of the handwriting expert
and others, with no apparent effort to
keep in touch with the Prosecutor s
office had convinced him that the
Court had been trified with he there.

Almost every town that has the

be able to inform our readers, that

of the Citizens Savings Bank of

Commercial National Bank Of
Chicago. ILL.,, and other parties.
Messrs. Dickinson, Hoverson, Mix

Introduction, while Messrs. Curtin

as among the leading bankers Of

is no stranger here, besides being
president Of the Sterling State

million dollars and deposits of over
forty-eight million dollars. With
such strong financiers, added te
the local parties interested, the
First National Bank of Beach
should be one of the strongest
banks in the state.
