BEAUTIFUL BADGE GIVEN
RETIRING FIRE CHIEF

A period covering seventeen years is
the record of the subject Of the above
picture as chief of Pleasantville Fire Co.
No. l. Frank Reinar may well feel
proud Of the services he has rendered
the volunteer organization, and it goes
without saying that the company and the
citizens generally are proud OF the chief.
for they all have right to be-
Mr. Reinars views have not always
met with approval; men have differed
with him in the administration of his
office, and there are still others who have
taken exception to his methods at fires.
but The Press has this to say (which
cannot be denied by Renar adherents Oh
opponents), that the retiring chief was
conscientious, watchfui and worker in
every direction. As chief no one has
is quite applicable: He was always on
his job, day OF night. until one has been
led to believe that he always lay in bed
at night with one ear and one eye open
for the sight or sound of fire.
| Twenty-four years ago the nucleus OF
the present company was formed with
Messrs. Reinar and Elias Campbell as
the leading spirits. The apparatus al
that time was insignificant, but the form
CT persevered, for he was as faithful in
this respect as in every other duty OF
life. During these score Of years the
chief has never been absent from fire

he is a partial cripple as result of

which sent him into a war hospital, TO
lie there and thus miss getting cap

| Chief Reinar's comrades in war are

the great majority; they can not be-
stow on him earthly recognition for val
liant deeds, but his companions of the
engine, hose and nozzle have decorated
his breast with a bauble, as it were, in
proportion to the work performed by
their chief They have given him gold
badge as token Of their esteem and they
have done it with whole, full hearts,

BAYARD-CLEMENT BALLOON
WRECKED in TREE CRASH,

PARIS, Aug. 23.-The Bayard- Glenn
ent dirigible balloon, built recently by
the Bayard- Clement Company for the
Russian government, was wrecked to-
day near Maisons- -Laffite during its
preliminary trial. The aviators on
board, including Colonel Mach, of the
Russian army, were not injured.
The airship made its ascent success
fully, remained in the air, and then
came down without damage, but while
on the ground a violent gust of wind
tore the balloon from the grasp of the
forty men who were holding it,mIt was
thrown against some trees te E.
graph poles near by, ripping the gas
bag to pieces. The ship then fell I'M o
the river Seine. The four occurants
had stuck to the car during these hap
penings. Upon landing in the river
they left the shattered ship and swan
for the shore.
Colonel Mach. describing his expert
ence. said:
we made 4 wonderful ascension. at
tanning to a height of 4.500 feet. This

FALLS 40 FEET into
PIT OF iron, LIVES
William Turbitt Apparently
Little the Worse for Wear
After Accident.

AT the City Hospital 1t was reported
that William Turbitt, 20 years old. of
144 Congress street, who fell forty feet
from the top of a hosting crane and
landed in a pit of iron bars and cast
ings, was doing we'll and would prob
ably be at work within a week The
doctors found no broken bones or in
ternal injuries and the man is only
nursing a few bruises, though how he
escaped death is food for thought. II
seems that Turbitt. who is employed at
the Atha Steel Company's plant. in
Chapel street. was working on top of
the crane when the accident occurred.
He had Just called down something TO
the mer below, and was starting to
walk across a beam of the crane when
he slipped on a greasy point of the iron
and was precipitated to the ground be-
low, falling directly into a pit of iron
bars and castings. He not only es-
capped instant death, but got off with
only few bruises. When the other
employees rushed TO pick him up they
found him unconscious and stunned by
the fall, but beyond that momentary
relapse he recovered in the hospital
and the doctors expect him to be per-
fectly convalescent at the end of the
week.
