Norwich bulletin., 1915-09-03

Inc new auCOmOO1l6 cnemlCa1 ana
hose wagon for the p. S. Barber Hose
company arrived Thursday afternoon
at the fire house in Pawcatuck, di-
rect from the factory where the ma
chine was assembled in Lowell, Mass.
1t is a White type of fire apparatus,
and at the fire district meeting when
the committee was authorized to pur-
chase, the price was quoted at $1,000,
the same as the American-LaFrance,
the choice of machine being left with
the committee.
The new apparatus came under its
own power from Lowell and the COM
pany members and the taxpayers OF
the Pawcatuck fire district, many of
them, are satisfied with the appear
ance of the machine. At the fire dis
trict meeting it was stated that the
apparatus to be purchased could nego-
tiate any. hill, without regard to snow,
ice, or surface conditions, could go
anywhere, at any time and in very
quick time. This machine not having
a pumping outfit, as has the new APP
paratus in Mystic, it can be utilized
only where there is hydrant water
pressure, and the tests preliminary to
acceptance therefore must be confined
to road tests, and, of course, as the
roads are at this season. There is but
one company in the Pawcatuck fire
new machine is able to give chemical
service in addition, an improvement
that will be appreciated.
Mr.. and Mrs. Addison S. Archie,
who were married Wednesday evening
in Stonington, spent the night in their
| new residence in Spruce street, Wes-
terly, instead of starting on their we'd
| ding trip by automobile after the we'd
| ding ceremony, as their intimate
| friends were led to believe. When the
wedding reception was at its height,

| was learned that they had left by the
| back door route and so the story
went, were in Ted Picard's automobile
bound to Kingston station where they
were to board a train for New York.
In short order three other automobiles
were in hot pursuit, the occupants in
tending to get to Kingston in time to
| give the newlyweds an unexpected
| send-off
Mr.. Archie had arranged with Chris
Feraro to be on the Potter Hill road
| at a specified time with his automo-
bile. Soon Mr.. and Mrs. Archie ap
peared and then the Feraro automo-
| bile with the newlyweds went by a
| circuitous route to the new Archie res
| idence in Westerly.
| The fact leaked out early Thursday
| morning and intimate friends heard
| that Addison and his bride were to
| take the S.26 westbound train and the
aforesaid friends bought confetti in
| large quantities and lay in wait for
| the elusive young pair. The train ar
rived and departed, but the bride and
groom did not show up. In the mean
time, Mr.. and Mrs. Archie were in Ted
| Picard's automobile riding to the home
| Of Mr.. Arches parents on the Watch
| Hill road After breakfast Mr.. Archie
at the wheel of his own automobile,
and his bride by his side, started on
their wedding trip through Massachu-
| sets, New hampshire and Vermont.
