The Niagara st-nui flro enoine was
given another tost ut the water's edg'
on the West Side yesterday morning.
The test was made under the super
vision ot Wilbur shipp, a practical
machinist and engineer employed In
tue liehign Valley roundhouse at vox
ton. The test was a most thorough
one and showed beyond a doubt that
the engine it onee more in first clam
condition, as may be seen from the fol
lowing copy taken from the report or
Mr. Shipp after the test had been com
pleted. It is as follows: "M. N.
Donnelly, ohairmau fire committee
Iu accordance with instructions re
eeived from Charles McCanna, of the
Niagara Eugino company, and (ieore
J. Llwellyn, chief engiue;r of the tire
department, I made the test this morn-
lag of the Niagara tiro engine with the
following results: The engine was
started at 10 215 a. in. Ten minutes
later a section of hose burst uuder a
steam pressure of seventy-live pounds
and 100 pounds water pressure. Au-
other section of hose burst five minutes
later uuder a steam press urn of ninety
pounds and 135 water pressure. After
a run of one half hour the engine
stopped. Upon investigation I found no
oil lu tue cylinders. U.i tilling tlie
oil cups ami puttiug oil in the
cylinder, wlioti occupied about
two minutes' tim. the engine
was again started und this time run
until all the fuel wag exhausted, about
tifeeeo minutes. If the engine is run
properly it is, in my opinion, iu hrst
clan serviceable condition, as the water
pressure more thau doublod tlie stoain
pressure, as it showed at sixty pounds
steam pressure 100 pounds water pres
sure, and at ninety pounds stoma pres
sure showed 185 pounds water pressure.
(Signed) Wilbur Siiipp." The fact of
the eugino stopping and the discovery
of Examiner Sbinp that there was no
oil iu the journals was due to tlie fail
ure of hngiueer AloAndrew. who wtu
in charge of the operating of the eugine,
to prop.-rly oil the parts. The repurt
of Examiner Shipp will be presented to

Smith, John Howell nut Janus

and the engineer of the pas
senger train slowed tip and watchod
the result, 1 he animals got over about
forty feet of tbe bri.lne, when their
legs dropped between the ties and they
were pinned fast. The passenger train
was brought to a standstill at the ap
prnaoli to the bridge. A temporary
scuffold was built, ropes secured and
fastened about the animals, and they
were drawn out of their plight with
little difficulty. They escaped with a

Tbe phono of the new company, it
is claimed, bave mauy advantages ovr
those tiow in use, oneot which is that
they coat to patrons about one-half the
price of the preseut phones, in add)
tion, there is the advantage of absolute
secrecy In talking. There is no central
station. Eton bolder of a telephone
has his own key board, and by a simple
device no more difficult to operate than
the ringing of a bell lie can cull up the
person he wants to talk to.
The Antoinette Telephone company
has already made overtures for local
franchises lu a number of interior
Pennsylvania cities, but thus far has
not sent representatives to inquire into
tbe advisability of attempting to estub
hsh a competitive local service in
S -ranton.
