Addresses at Firemens' Banquet.
At the Banquet recently given to the
Past-Chiefs of Emporium Fire Depart
ment, many really interesting and
instructive addresses were delivered.
Among the most able were those of
Mr. Josiah Howard and Mr. A. C.
Blum and we take pleasure in publish
ing the same :
MR. HOWARD'S ADDRKBS.
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Em
porium Fire Department•
The impotence of rulers and states
men to understand and regulate a peo
ple eventually leads to tyranny or de
cay. Every nation has a Cuba, and it
will be a source of revenue and
strength, or a troublesome ward that
not only wastes its own resources but
saps the very life of its guardian, ac
cording to the ability of that guardian
to understand and regulate its affairs.
Every man has a boy or a horse or a
farm or a business or a trade to under
stand and care for and develop. His
ability to do so will mainly depend
upon his ability to understand, care
for and develop himself; his mind, his
muscle, his energy, and his character.
As the profit of a horse depends upon
the care and regularity with which it
is fed and managed, so the develop
ment and efficiency of each individual
and association depends upon the
ability of its manager to understand
and regulate and develop its life.
It is my pleasant duty this evening
to enumerate and describe the official
management of the Emporium Fire
Department. The original depart
ment was formed in 1874, and contin- 1
ued as an organization for only a year
or two; but the names and deeds of i
such pioneer firemen as C. B. Gould,
L Taggart, J. F. Parsons, J. P. Felt, i
W. C. Clarke, H. C Rockwell and
Murry Overhiser, should not be drop- i
ped from the roll of honor, for it is to
the energy and perseverence of these j
men, and particularly of C. B. Gould, !
(who should be called the honorary !
Chief of the Emporium Fire Depart- I
ment,) that we owe our water-works 1
and fire fighting apparatus. The
water works were completed in 1886,
and in the fall of 1887 H. C. Rockwell,
one of the old-time firemen just men
tioned, was fittingly chosen as chief
to organize the present department.
Mr. Rockwell, owing to ill health, re
fused to act as permanent chief, but at
the end of four months turned over to
his successor a well disciplined and
well instructed body of men and offi
cers. Mr. Rockwell was a man of few I
words, but immense size and ability, j
who not only knew how to handle a j
fire, but also to command the respect j
and obedience of his men. On the re
tirement of Mr. Rockwell, the foreman
of the \V. N.Y. & P. R. R , was elected !
as the second chief in January j
1888 for one year. Then came !
our gentlemanly and talented drill- 1
master, Dr. E. O. Bard well, from \
1889 to 1890. The manly bearing and
efficiency of the men has not been ex- ;
celled since his time. The next year, !
1890, the department was under the !
care of W. C. Clarke. He like Mr. |
Rockwell, endeavored to unite all the
companies in good feeling and for
united work, and as a means to that j
end, he paid particular attention to j
the annual inspection and parade of I
the whole department. He was follow- j
ed by D. W. Felt, who made it his par- j
ticular business to overhaul the equip- |
ment and purchase a better quality of |
high pressure hose. Then came the |
first recognition of younger men in
the election of Henry Haupt for the j
year 1894, and he was followed by
another young man, our late chief
from 1895 to 1898, Mr. John J. Hinkle.
Mr. Hinkle having served as fireman
in a large city, brought many new and
important additions to our department.
Councils were induced to appropriate
city funds for the purchase of addition
al tools and apparatus. Fire police
were appointed to rope off the streets
at a fire and to protect property, while
last but not least the natural gas was
utilized to sound the alarm and locate
the fires. And now to-night we have an- -
other young man wearing the chief's
badge. All our chiefs have been quiet,
reserved gentlemen, and as a nation
composes its countenance to the ex
pression of the king, so our depart
ment has reflected the gentlemanly |
conduct of its chiefs. The dividing up
of hose and the exchange of tools, and
other courtesies at a fire, it is a matter
of pride to the department and to our
fellow citizens.
May the department be blessed with
as able chiefs in the future as in the
past, is the sentiment of us all.
MR. A. C. BLUM'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Chairman and Fellow Firemen:—
The subject you have assigned to me
"The Emporium Fire Department" is
at once the most difficult and the most
gratifying, which could have fallen to j
my lot. The most difficult, because I
have not the ability, to do justice to!
the gallant men, composing this de- I
partment, and the most gratifying, be- j
cause by personal experience, and j
daily association with its members, I
know how worthy they are of the j
feeble tribute which I am able to be- j
! stow upon them.
The Emporium Fire Department was |
[organized about 11 years ago, and has i
steadily increased in efficiency, until j
to-day, there is not a better fire service j
in any town of its size in Pennsylvania I
For the truth of this statement I refer 1
to the remarks made by the many i
strangers, who have seen the depart- }
ment at work in the past. It consists |
at this date of three Hose and one j
Hook and Ladder Company with a j
total membership of about 200 men. j
With much pride and gratification we ;
point to the fact, that although the j
town has nearly doubled its population j
during this period, there has not been j
a heavy fire loss in all this time. 1 !
have been informed by insurance men, '
that the heavy rates charged for cover
ing fire risks in this borough were
caused by the very heavy fire losses of j
the past, during which there was no 1
fire department, but as a tribute, the
highest that can be paid to firemen, we
are able to state to-day, that during
the life of this department, there has
not occurred one single heavy fire loss,
although we have had many alarms
and incipient fires, and therefore in
surance rates are steadily decreasing.
If you want to hear of a big fire, you
have to hunt up an "old inhabitant."
Now, Mr. Chairman, .he |question j
; might be asked, why have these men
become firemen, subject to a call for
duty at any hour of the day or night,
in the heat of summer or midst the
; icy blasts of winter; called away from a
comfortable hearth, or from desk,
counter or workbench to do battle
; against a most relentless foe, risking,
time and again life, limb and health.
Is it for remuneration or for personal
I gain. Most emphatically no ! Be it
remembered that up to three years ago,
j every one of these men contributed
; from their own means toward the sup
port of the company he loves so well,
until unon the urgent appeal of the
entire department, a liberal Borough
Council made an annual appropriation
for the maintenance of each Company.
Or is it for renown or fame, that ignis
fatuux, that has led many a brave man
:to death. Again we say no. Many the
deeds done by firemen, equalling
the most sublime heroism performed
on the battlefield. A soldier or sailor
performs an act of astounding bravery,
and he is not only sure of promotion,
! but also finds his name for ever in
scribed upon the tablets of fame and
glory, doubly Bweet compensation to
most men. A Dewey lives in the
memory of man forever, but a fireman
will with equal disregard of personal
danger, with equal deliberation and
equal courage enter a burning build
ing, mayhap to save life, mayhap to
save only property from destruction,
j not knowing what dangers may con
front him, perhaps an explosion, or tha
falling of a wall or roof, or the sinking
of a floor, carrying him to a horrible
; death. If he is successful in theper-
I formance of his duty, he has nothing
to show for brave deeds performed, ex
! cept the consciousness of duty well
done. If he falls, no costly monument
' will tell future generations ofselfsacri
' ficing bravery. No Congress shnll
look after those he left behind, and
help them to fight th'j battle of life, in
| place of him, vbo gave his life that
| others might live. The Recording
Angel above alone will write his epi
taph, not to be read by mortal man.
It is simply the very highest type of
| good citizenship, a full realization of
| man's duty toman, that has banded us
: together for the purpose of doing good
to our fellow man. Let us therefore
I work together, shoulder to shoulder,
to make this department, if possible,
even more efficient in the future, than
it has been in the past.
Hurrah for Young America.
A young American who has just
come home from Paris in order to join
our Volunteer Army left behind him
in the French capital a small brother
j whose patriotism is at 4th-of-July tem
| perature. He is a pupil in a school
j for boys, a college, they call it over
] there, where he is the only American.
; He wears half dozen patriotic buttons
and on the lapel of his coat a small
i American flag. One day recently
I there was an uproar on the play
! ground. The headmaster himself sal-
I lied out to find out what the trouble
! was. It proved to be the thing most
! strictly prohibited by the shool rules—
a fight. The parties of the first part
were five small French boys. The
; party of the second part was one small
I American boy who was hitting out
right and left in the beautiful, clean,
j stright-from-tlie-shoulder Anglo-Saxon
j fashion. He had already landed on
| the noses of two of the five French
! boys with gory success. The head
j master hurried to the seat of war and
demanded an explanation.
"They tore off my flag," said the
young American,"and they trampled
on it. I've knocked out two of them
and if you'll just go away and leave
me alone I'll do up the rest of them."
It was the headmaster himself who
| restored the little flag to its place of
honor on the boy's breast. —for surely
the lapel of that boy's coat is a place
of honor—and it was the headmaster
himself who gave the youngster leave
to sail in and thrash anybody who
should lay a finger on it therefter.—

The Wharton Hurder.
William Ayers. a farmer aged 6. r >
years, living nine miles southeast of
Austin, near Blowville, was brutally
murdered in his home on Tuesday
night at about midnight. The crime
| was not discovered until Thursday,
! when John Mohan, a neighbor, pass
ing the house was moved to investifiate
the stamping of the horses and bellow
ing of the cattle in the Ayers barn.
Mohan found the beasts half-starved
I and half dead from thirst, and his
! curiosity was aroused. He fed and
I watered them, and summoning two
j boys to his assistance, began to look
, about the premises. The party soon
| came upon a ladder leaning up against
, a porch roof, and they climbed up and
1 found a window of Mr. Ayers' sleeping
! roomjopen, Looking in, they saw Mr.
Ayers lying on the floor, he evidently
having been pulled from his bed.
THE BODY DISCOVERED.
Mr. Mohan and the two boys crawled j
through the window into the room and !
examined Mr. Ayers' body. They j
found that he had been shot twice, one 1
bullet entering the mouth and going !
upward into the head, and a second j
having entered the left temple They
also found linger marks on Mr. Ayers' j
throat, indicating that he had been j
choked during the struggle, which had j
been desperate and at close quarters, j
as the pistol had been held so close to
the man's head as to fill the flesh with :
powder.—Coudersport Enterprise.
