Old Septoae lland Kngino Will Be Housed
in a Barn on Hickory Street-Death
of Mrs. Bridget Gaughan.
-Quarters have been fitted up In a
barn on Hickory street, near Cedar ave
nue, for the old Neptune hand engine,
donated to the Volunteer Firemen's as
sociation by Dr. and Mrs. B. H. Throop.
The machine Is prized as a relic and Is
now In Finch's works being burnished
and ornamented. Nearly two years ago
It came into possession of the associa
tion, and the most of that time It has
been on the dry dock. The barn In
which it will be housed Is owned by
Charles Kaestner, and it will be guarded
with great care.
It was purchased thirty-five years
ago for the Neptune Engine company.
When more modern fire apparatus came
In vogue in 1X74 a new steamer was
purchased and the relic was discarded.
Philip Robinson, deceased, purchased
It as a memento of the early days of the
city, and from his estate It went to Dr.
Cleorge S. Throop, also deceased, who
paid for It to present It to the Volunteer
association. But he died before he
turned it over. His parents, Dr. and
Mrs. B. 11. Throop. wishing to carry out
what their son had begun, conveyed It
in his name. It Is thought '.hat the ma
chine will be taken over to Its new
home next week. Peter Holding, Jr., of
the Neptunes, is president of the asso
ciation; he and Isadore Goodman are
the committee that hus secured the
barn for this purpose.

The post prandial exercises were en

and tne musical selections or the Vail

entertainment with the mandolin and
guitar. W. A. Price was toast muster.
In his introduction Charles E. Daniels
paved the way for the toastmaster In
ii graceful manner Mr. Dunlels spoke on
"our Society." lie gave the history of
the society; of Its inception and its
successful career up to the present time.
The society wus organized by thirteen
young men. two of whom were at the
banquet lust evening. "The society has
puiu us for its existence," said Mr.
Daniels. "Members who spoke with
broken sentences can now harangue
witn euse. e have bud our disap
pointmenttt and our victories." In
closing Mr. Daniels paid his compli
ments m tne visitors of the evening.
me errorts nud a telling effect.
REMARKS OF TOASTMASTER
W. A. Price, the toastmaster. referred
to the conspicuous absence of females
and regretted that the evening's ideas
lire was not enhanced by the presence
or tne Mirer sex. 'Woman come after
man." said Mr. Price, "and, since the
creation, she has been after him ever
since," During the evening Mr. price
interlarded the remarks of the different
speukei-H with happy and compliment
ury remarks. He called upon Emerson
U. Owen, who responded to the toast
"Our City." The effort was serio
comic. The motto was "I have good
cheer at home und I pray you all go
with me." A monument In Chicago
wus compared to the bridge builders on
Linden street and the .Lincoln park
statue suffered In the comparison. In
closing Mr. Owen recited "The Plo
neers of Seranton."
John R. Edwards, the brilliant son
bf Judge H. M. Edwards, spoke on
wiv. ills text was:
No thief ere felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law.
The speaker told his less profound
hearers that Blackstone contains but
two Jokes and they are hut fabrics of
the Hlile-splittlngkind. Mr. Edwards told
how often in his study he has turned
from stacks of facts to those two. poor
ana meager Jokes und he has laughed
In the greatest glee. Mr. Edwards told
humorous stories of the legal profes
slon. He thought the luw a grand pro
fession of professions, and he made sev
eral present believe him.
At the conclusion of this toast the
quartette sang. Then came "The
Press." a toast responded to by Wal
lace G. Moser. The gentleman's re
marks were serious and at times elo
quent. He spoke of the great mission
which the press covers. He told how
(iermnny. wnere the first newsptier
wus founded, has grown grent and
grand through the efforts of the news
paper. "Tije Press Is." said Mr. Moser,
"a grout agency for freedom. America
can thank the press for Its great In
fluence and energetic spirit. England
was never safe and powerful until the
press was granted freedom, and eveli
the Orient has felt Its power." He
maintained that a man's character
should never be discussed In the col
umns of a newspaper. Only In a court
of law should character be tried, and
then the accused has an opportunity of
ueienuing nis name. The address held
interested attention.
MR. THAYER'S RESPONSE.
The Vail brothers played, followed by
the Introduction of Edward W. Thayer,
who spoke on "Politics." Mr. Thayer
told some thing of his political career,
which began and terminated In a vote
of 1 la to lit. Mr. Thuyer received the
unlucky niimlier. Edward Vail recit
ed Dr. PuffstufT's lecture. The title
shows the humorous nnd Mr. Vail made
the? most of the funny part'of .It.', and
he was compelled to respond to nn. en
core. He gave "The District School."
Charles E: House spnke on the up-to-date
subject. "The New Woman." Mr.
House stated that he would combine
the serious with the comic. When wo
man began to place herself on an equal
footing with man she Was met with
derision. Now she commands attention
in all seriousness. . .
All respect which was due her
through her estate has been tost since
she began to pose as a novelty, In
bloomers. Could we vent our foellnou
could we laud to the skies sitelk a Wo
man.' t oum you give her that- sacred
name' of '1ic!pmM?" Mr; Hbuse- de
scribed the singleness of the first wo
man. ''Did she then ride Into the heart
of man on bloomers." asked the speak
er. The speaker ushered the banquet
ters, In Imagination, to a meeting of
the Limekiln club and;. closed .with a
thoughtful peroration. ' .
"One Visltors.' was ably responded
to by Attorney 'Michael J.-McAndrew,
a member and renresetitatlve of St.
Rr'enden council. Mr. .McAndew's re
marks were brief. He. returned till in- j
dividual thanks to the society for its
invitation, und as a member of a sister
society he commended the spirit which
prompted the courtesy. -
"Patriotism" was the subject allotted
to Duvld J. Davis. His tulk was much
lauded. The banquet closed at 1.30
o'clock.
