Until 1808 Bloomsburg had no Are do.
partmcnt, nnd no protection against Ore
but tho Bucket brigade. When a Are
roke out two lines of peoplo were formed
from a well or cistern, or other water sup
ply, and one lino passed along tho full
buckets to men nt the burning building,
and tho empty palls wcro passed back by
tho other line, and in this way thcro was a
constant supply of water, small but steady,
as long as the sourco held out. When
big conflagration got fairly under way, or
tho fire occurred at a point where no water
was available, thero was nothing to bo
dono but to look on and "let her go." The
Friendship Fire company was organized In
February, 1809, and money waB raised by
subscription to purchaso an engine Wm
H. Gllmoro went to Philadelphia and
bought an cnglno from the Friendship Fire
Co. of that city for $450. It was a doublo
decker, and was made for city use, to be
supplied with water from a plug. It nr.
rived here on April 2, 18C8, and was looked
upon ns a great acquisition at the time. A
fen feet of leather hose were obtained, and
the town considered Itself ready to fight
fire. It proved better thau the Bucket brl-
gado, only becauso water coulj bo thrown
on a fire that could not bo reached with
buckets, but It did not do away with the
passing of buckets along tho line, as the
water had to bo supplied to tho cnglno in
that way, thero being no suction pipe on
tho machine. Notwithstanding this disad
vantage much good work was dono by tho
Friendship, and It saved property to tho
value of many times its cost.
Its usefulness was superseded by the
erection of water works, and slnco that
time the old engine has made its appear
anco only In firemen's parade.
It was recently sold to the Voluntceer
Firemen's Association, of Philadelphia,
and shipped thero on November 25. On
Dec. 14 there was a big parade In the city
by this association, ani a banquet, attend
od by about 300, was given In tl.e evening,
at which William II Gllmore was present as
an Invited cest. Mr. Gllmoro has been
the leading Bplrlt of the Friendship Co.
all these years, and the nucleus started by
him has resulted In our present well
equipped lire department.

AlmoHt Drowned,
Tuesday afternoon about halt pas t four
two little girls while sliding on the ice at
the mouth of Cattawlssa creek met with an
accident which proved to be a miraculous
escape from drowning, lue ono was a
daughter of Mr. Frauds Longenbcrger, th
other a daughter of Mr. Archie Lewis
They reached a place where the ice was
thin and broke with them, Miss Longen
berger going down first and pulling miss
Lewis after her. The latter had prusence
f mind enough to cling to the Ice and
cried for help. Her cries were heard by
some workmen on a railroad bridge some
distance away, and a man named Schook
seeing Alias Lougenhorger go under the ice
ran to the spot with a hatchet in hand
Seeinc tho body floatlnc along under the
ice he hastily cut a hole and with assist
anco drew her from the water, but not un
til she had been carried about 125 feet
from where she went under. She was
astily taken to the house of Mr. Romalia
and Mr. Bruco Moyer summoned Dr. Rob.
bins. When the doctor arrived, the pulso
was gone, hut at about five o'clock it was
restored acain and at clgnt o'clock the
body commenced getting warmer. It is
supposed she was under tho water about
six minutes, and the distance to reach the
doctor was about a quarter of a mile so
that she was In an unconcious state for
some time, and her recovery is indeed mlr.
aculous. Slio is about nine years of age,

Thursday evening of last week, at seven
o'clock, at the home of tho bride's parents,
Mr. W. L. Fornwald and Miss Nola Moyer

dred and ono hundred and fifty Invited
guests. Tho evening was the matrlage
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Moyer,
The largo and handsome house of Mr.
Moyer, offered an excellent opportunity
for tho vast number of guests to witness
tho ceremony. After the usual congratu-
lationa, the guests partook of ono of the
finest repasts provided In this section by
any similar party. After all wero liberally
provided it seemed tha, sufficient remained
to satisfy as many moro. Over 100 presents
were received among which wore very flno
china dinner sets, solid silver spoons,

DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
Chickens of High Degre c.
A reporter ot this paper recently visited
the poultry establishment ot Dr. Bbattuck
at the Rest Curo Sanitarium, Bloomsburg
and was well paid for his trouble. Com-
munlcatlng with the Doctor's stuble, which,
by tho by, Is ono of tho best In Eastern
Penna., is a frame building 12x75 run
ning west) eight and a half feet on tho
north side and six feet lilnh on the south,
with a shinglo roof pitching south. This
building is divided Into pens eight by
twelvo feet) each having a large glass win
dow on tho south to admit sun. On each
side of the building aro out door runs or
yards, on tho south for winter and on the
north tor summer. Eaoh department con.
tains thirteen blooded fowls, twelve hens
and a cock. Through tho whole length of
tho poultry house proper from the stablo to
tho hatchery Is a thrco foot walk which Is
elevated two feet so as to jive tho chick,
ens the full width oft tho building on the
ground. Through trap doors in the floor
of this walk tho food and water is convey
cd to cribs and troughs. A trap door also
opens from tho side of the walk into the
nest boxes of each pen so that It is not
neceisary to enter the pens for anything
except for cleaning purposes. Tho roostB
are about thrco feet from tho ground a
platform being constructed six finches be.
low each set of roosts. The private walk
terminates in a large room I.' the west end
twelvo by twenty-ono foot which Is the arti
ficial hatching and brooding room, This
room at present contains three Perfect
Hatchers, Incubators, one with a capacity
ot 2010 eggs and tho others of 820 eggs
each. Tho two small machines being the
right size for farmers, were sent hero to
exhibit and are for sale. On one slilo of
the room a small stove furnishes heat to
the artificial brooders by means of colls of
hot watci pipes. This room also contains
tho heating apparatus for the hen houses.
This consists of a large stove Incased with
sheet Iron which collects the heat and by
means ot a cold air box the heat is forced
through pipes into tho poultry houses. The
building Is lined throughout with tarred
felt which keeps It free from vermin. Tho
stock now on exhibition consists of Wyan.
dotte, Plymouth Rock and Dark Brahma
and they are thorough bred, handsome and
expensive birds, very proud of their com
fortable quarters and would not if they
could associate with the numerous chick
ens of low degree under death sentence
and left In cheaper pens on the north side
of the building. We must not forget to
mention tho lock-up which has been pro.
vlded, for it must not be supposed that
even these aristocratic fowls are immacu
late or that they are not subjected to thor-
oughdlscipllne. Whenever a ben becomes
broouy she Is at once arrested and placed
in the lock-up whcio she like other two
legged criminals may have opportunity to
repent of her lolly, which she generally
docs within threo days. The whole estab
lishment is certainly very ingeniously ar
ranged and would pay our readers interest
ed in poultry to Inspect it. Its very sys.
tematic management reflects great credit
upon Mr. C. C. Cross from Curdlff, Wales
who is In charge. The Doctor is quite
chicken fancier and has engaged in this
business as a bit of diversion and to supply
bis house with fresh eggs and poultry and
will no doubt be able to furnish eggs to
those who wish to improve their stock.
