Chief Brown Tests Their Agility by Striking the Fire Gong AKD TIMING THEIR MOVEMENTS. He Thought Some Were a Little Blow, hut the Boys Protested AGAIKSr THU FAIRNESS OP THE TEST One day last week Chief Brown, of the Department of Public Safety, made a tour of the engine houses iu the First district of the city, and, without giving the men any intimation of his intentions, had the alarm gong sounded in each house he visited for the purpose of showing how quick the fire men could get the horses out, hitch up and get ready to go out for a fire. The gongs were sounded, and the men, thinking it was a bona fide alarm of fire, responded. After they had gotten in their places, ready to go out, the Chief informed tbem why they had been called out He repeated this inspection at several engine houses, but, while he did not keep watch on the time consumed, thought the men were a little slower than they should be. In order to find ont just how much time it took for the companies to get out to a fire, he instructed one of bis assist ant superintendents to repeat the inspection in the same manner as he had done, and learn accurately the number of seconds con sumed by each company. The Assistant Superintendent took a stop watch with him, and made the test yester day. He visited engine houses Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 13 and 15 and truck A, giving them each a trial, and embodied the result in a report to Chief Brown lost evening. As in the first test, the men had no warning of what was coming. The Assistant Chief walked into the engine house, conversed with the men, who were lounging about in various parts of the building, and then, calling the captain of the company to one side, instructed him to go and strike the gong. HOW THE TEST WORKED. The mem tumbled into their places in their usual fashion. The horses were loosened by the automatic machinery and rushed out to be hitched up to the engines and hose carriages, the drivers, hosemen and other firemen jumped into their re spective places on the apparatus, and when they were ready to start lor the supposed fire were told it was only a test. The firemen iu every case protested at being taken unawares, and asked to have the test repeated, as they thought they could do better, but the Assistant Chief firmly refused, and told them their record was made. If they wanted to do better they must make their record in going out on real alarms. In his report to the Chief of the department the Assistant Superintendent reports the actual time, taken on a reliable stop-watch, as follows: Engine Company 2fo. 1, 14J4 seconds; No. 2. 21 seconds; No. 3, 24 seconds; No. 4, 2l seconds; No. 5, 13 seconds; No. 7, 19 sec onds; No. 13, 29 seconds; No. 15, 31 sec onds; Truck A, 21 seconds. ane report states that the reason thatNos. 1, 5 and 7 make so much quicker time than the others Is that they have double houses and the horses have only half the distance to run to their places that they have in the Jong, single houses. Another feature pointed out is that in Companies 1 and 15 harness snaps of au old pattern are in use, and cause a loss of time in hitching. ANOTHER TEST MADE. After making the above trials the horses were unhitched, unharnessed and left stand ing in their places at the poles, and another test was made to see how quickly they could be hitched up, ready to go out. from that position. No. 1 took 5 seconds; No. 2. Cyi seconds. No. 3, 6 seconds; No. 4, 6J seconds; No. 5, 4 seconds; No. 7, 7 seconds; No. 13, tji seconds; No. 15, 7 seionds. In concluding his report the Assistant Superintendent states that much time is lost on account of the slowness of the horses. This defect is being remedied by a new ap paratus which will soon be placed in the stall of each horse, consisting of a revolving whip which drops the instant the gong sounds, and strikes each horse a smart blow before be leaves his stall. As soon as these have been put in place it is expected that the companies can come nearer to getting out on the record time, 11 seconds. There is one horse in No. 13,Tiowever, where the revolving whip is already in use, that pays no attention to the lash, and walks out to his place as leisurely as if going out for ex ercise. The firemen were considerably stirred up over the unexpected test last night, and in several ot the engine houses the captains made tests of their own after the Assistant Superintendent left, with much better re suits, and a reduction in the time con sumed. It is sate to say that the next time an official test is made there will be an im provement in the time. COMING EXCURSIONS. Grand Army aien Are Getting Ready to Go to Gettysburg The B. & O. Offers Tiro Esiui to ike Veterans. "People imagine," said Division Passen ger Agent Smith, of the B. & O., yesterday, "that with the close of the summer resorts the excursion business ends for the year, but this is a great mistake. The B. & O. will run excursions to Gettysburg for Penn sylvania Day, to Cumberland, where the Centennial of Allegheny county Maryland, will be celebrated on the 23d, 24th and 25th of September; to Baltimore for the Maryland Exposition, which will be held in September, and to Washington for the grand national conclave of Knight Templars.October 9. I think a larger crowd will go to Washington to attend the con clave from Pittsburg than went to see Har rison inaugurated. I Lave already made contracts for 16 Pnllman cars." Pennsylvania Day will be celebrated on the 11th and 12th of next month. From the activity displayed among the old sol diers nearly every one of them will go lrom Pittsburg. They are filling ont the required blanks and securing orders for transporta tion on either road. One fare for the round trip has been arranged. By building a short branch between Penn Mar and Orrtanna, the Baltimore and Ohio possesses the shortest line to Gettysburg, by way of Hagerstown and Shenandoah Junction on the West Maryland road, run ning through Antietam, Charlestown and other historical places. Mr. Smith said yesterday that the road would sell two sets of tickets, one by the route pointed out or bv way of Washington and Baltimore. Knapp s Battery, making about CO people with members' families, will go by the Bal timore and Ohio. The Pennsylvania also is hustling ipr their share of the busi ness. The B. & O. will make a 1-cent rate to Cumberland from this citvand intermediate points for the Centennial of Allegheny county, Md. A large crowd of Pittsburgers are expected to attend. The B. & O. will run the last excursion of the season from Pittsburg to Atlantic City next Thursday. There is a big de mand for tickets. A Solitary Fisherman Drowned, isrxcuu. TzuaajDc to tot DisrxTca. CARLISLE, August 23. William Bloser, a man aged 25 years, living in West Penns boro township, near this city, was drowned in King's dam, on the Cono'dogulnet, some time yesterday evening. He went fishing yesterday morning and did not return. A searca was instituted and Ms body re covered about noon to-day. As he was sub ject to tailing fits the supposition is that that was the cause of the drowning. HUSBANDS FOB TWO. A Queer Scene on Board the fctenmer Switz erland The B!e Dinner Bell Sum mons AH Bands to a Doable Wedding-. Philadelphia, August 23. The eight taps by which 4 o'clock was announced upon the bell of the Bed Star steamship Switzer land as she lay in the dock yesterday after noon had hardly died away when the sharp twang of the dinner gong reverberated through the ship, and the steward marched through the vessel fore and aft, crying: "Come to the weddingsl Come to the wed dings! Come on, everybody! Two wed dings in the second cabin! There was a rush of stewards and stewardesses, officers and crew and the few straggling passengers who had not yet left the ship, and the cabin was crowded when Magistrate Iiadner tied a double nuptial knot and made husbands and wives ot two immigrant couples. Among the 210 immigrants wno were shipped at Antwerp by the Switzerland were two young girls who attracted the attention of the stewardess, and at her instance the Immigration Inspectors informed them that they would not be permitted to land unless they should first find husbands-for them selves. The girls were Maria Mayer, who came from Elberfeld, Germany, and Fauline Volz, whose home was in Friedburtr, Ger many. Among the steerage passengers was also Frederick Behle, who came from the home of Miss Mayer and was bound for Detroit, which was the destination of that young woman. Upon finding that she was refused a land ing Behle stepped forward and informed the Immigration Inspectors that he was a friend of Miss Mayer and had come with her from her home. He said that he was willing to marry the girl. Miss Yolz was quickly rescued from her embarrassing po sition in a quite similar manner, .Peter Michael, a shoemaker, who lives at 39 Washington avenue, presented himself on board the Switzerland, and said he had come to claim Miss Yolz as his wife. He came from her native place to New York a lew weeks ago. With this solution of the trouble in sight Immigration Inspector John J.-S. Sogers went up to Clerk Bird, of the Orphans' Court, and procured a pair of marriage licenses. When he returned to the steam ship Magistrate Ladner was summoned, the double marriage ceremony was performed, and the two couples left the ship rejoicing. THE niBEIINIASS' DAT.

IEFICIAL TXXEOBAU TO THE CISPATCH.l Lancaster, August 23. The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, having con cluded their labors on the Grand Lodge constitution, to-day considered the constitu tion of subordinate lodges. The following sections were adopted as to membership: No lodge shall initiate into the mysteries of the order any person who is. not a white male, over 21 years of age, and a believer in the Supreme Creator and Preserver of the uni verse, of good moral character, and free from mental or bodily infirmity, and able to support himself and family. An applicant over 50 years of age, or maimed, shall not be initiated unless a dispensation for that purpose be first obtained from the Grand Chancellor or the Grand Lodge. The following is the section as to death benefits: Funeral benefits shall not be paid in case of a member who was taken sick or otherwise disabled when in arrears to the lodge to the amount of 13 weeks' dues and died of that sickness or disability, except the arrears at the time of death were re duced to less than 13 weeks' dues, and then 20 only shall be paid. The Grand Lodge constitution was adopted by a vote of 303 ayes to 31 nays, and that of subordinate lodges by a vote of 289 ayes to 32 nays. The Committee on Law recommend each lodge to be careful in the imposition of fines for non-attendance at funerals or at failure to act as nurses. ELDEE JOHNSON GUILTY OP LAIITI.

Elder Johnson and his congregation will appeal to the General Conference.and unless the finding is reversed he will be despoiled of his ministerial functions. lILllHi HbOlU.l patch describe! the Emvress of Austria and her mad pranks on horseback.

Also, French Opera in Jy&H-TTS wmn ON GOES IN COME THE CROWDS! OUT CO THE GOODS! Our great Building and Enlarging Sale is assuming more gigantic proportions every day. The immense business we have done so far during this, the dullest month in the year, has surprised even ourselves. When one considers for a moment that we are crowded for room by the builders of the new addition to our building and otherwise much handi capped by the workmen engaged in making the proposed alterations and improvements, the above fact is nothing short of remarkable. The peo pie of Pittsburg and vicinity have become thoroughly assured that we are "COMPELLED TO SELL" and sqem to fully appreciate what it means. It means the total closing' out of our large stock of seasonable goods. It means that we are re- ducing and marking down goods to prices so low that you can't help buying them. It means such bargains as Pittsburg is not likely to see again. THOSE FINE $7.50 continue to draw hundreds -of customers. This will hardly surp rise you however, if you but consider that these suits are made of Wales of dif-' ferent widths, Diagonals, Worsteds, etc., Cassimeres in solid colors -and mixtures, Stripes, Checks, Plaids and a liberal number of choice con fined designs and effects that are new, tasty, and handsome. They come in sacks, frocks, cutaways, professional shapes, etc., and're carved out in the newest styles. Of course you can buy suits especially during the quiet month of August for $7 50 (less, for that matter), but not such suits as these. Look at the suits that'll be shown you in any other store in this city for $9, jio and 12. Examine 'em closely, fairly, honestly and look over ours, and we'll leave it to you if the suits shown by us are not better in many ways. THOSE FINE $1.50 are still the talk of the town the, male portion of tbe town, at least. And no wonder! Why there is not a pair of pants on our $1 50 counter that can be bought elsewhere for less than $3. These Pants consist of Cassimeres, Cheviots, Worsteds, Corkscrews, Diagonals, Serges, etc., and they come in such popular and stylish patterns as light. and dark Scotch plaids of large and small design, checks, stripes, mixtures, plain shades, etc. The best dresser in the city need not be ashamed of wear ing these 1 50 Pants.
