NEW KIND OF NOZZLE.
It Is Being Tested by tho Crystal
Company.
The new hose nozzle which Is being
tested by the Crystal Hose company,
was Invented by Chief Aungst, of the
Allentown FIro department, and em
bodies two ideas that cover trouble
some points In the ordinary nozzle.
One Is the disastrous delay caused
In making a twin stream from one
hose. The old way was to shut off the
force of water entirely and then make
the connection. With the Aungst noz
zle this delay Is done away with. The
connection is made while the water Is
on and it Is not necessary to reduce
th force of the stream playing on the
fire when another hose Is being at
tached. Thu new nozzle Is a little over two
feet in length and is broader for the
first foot from tho hose than the hose
Itself. In this first foot of nozzle there
is a Joint whers the second hose may
bo connected. When a single stream
Is used a three-faced valve with a T
on the opposite side closes the Joint
opening and the fcecond hose can be
attached while the stream Is still play
ing on the fire. A turn of the valve re
leases the water and the turn connec
tion Is In operation.
Another feature of the new nozzle is
an arrangement whereby a spray to
protect firemen fiom smoke can be
made.

ently Injured by Tripping on nn
Uneven Sidewalk in Front of tho
Conway House in 1801 Skirmish
Between Attorneys in tho Bontu
Cnsos" Constnblcs Feo Hill De
cision Appealed.
Kour city cases and the Prltchard
case occupied the time of common pleas
yesterday. The former were tried be
fore Judge Edwards. In the first case
the city was plaintiff and two Swetland
street property holders, John Frank
and August Seamans, were defendants.
The city sought to enforce collection
on municipal liens directed against
tho defendants' properties for gutter
ing done by a city ordinance. Ex-
Judge Stanton tried for a non-suit on
the grounds that tho lien was defective
as it had been issued from the court
of an alderman who he claimed had
no Jurisdiction, and again because there
Is no act of assembly permitting a city
to provide for gutters by ordinance.
Being overruled In these points of law,
he made the contention that the work
has not been done In accordance with
the specification and the Jury after be
ing out a short time returned a verdict
for the, defendant.
The second case was one wherein the
city was defendant and Christopher
Smith, of Kingston, for himself and
also as executor of the estate of his
wife, Amelia Smith, was plaintiff. In
1S91 Mrs. Smith came up from Duryea
where the family then lived to do some
shopping. Going along Penn avenue,
In front of the Conway house, which
was then In course of erection, she
stumbled, It Is alleged, on an uneven
plank walk and sustained injuries to
her side and shoulder which made her
virtually helpless and caused her In
tense pain and suffering until the time
of her death three years later. Dam
ages In the sum of $5,000 are asked by
th'o estate for her personal Injuries
and a like amount is demanded by the
husband for the loss of his wife's ser
vices. E. C. Newcomb and D. J. .Reedy
appear for Mr. Smith. City Solicitor
Torrey and Assistant City Solicitor D.
J. Davis are caring for the defense.
BARTHOLD-PRITCHARD CASE.
The case of Edwards and Barthold
against Mrs. Martha Prltchard was
given to the Jury at 3.30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon after being on trial
the best part of two days. To dis
credit the testimony of the experts who
gave It as their opinion that the "with
Interest" clause was added to the note
three or four months after the signa
ture was attached, the attorneys for
the plaintiff, Hulslander & Alworth,
presented documents from the record
er's office showing that the note, bear
ing the words "with interest" was re
corded in November, 1889, not a full
month after It was signed and deliv
ered. Judge Gunster called another of the
Bonta cases Just after the above case
went to the Jury and directed that a
Jury be empanneled in it despite the
protests of ex-Judge Stanton and City
Solicitor Torrey of counsel for the de
fense, who claimed that Mr. Hlbbs was
the Bonta company's attorney and that
it was an Injustice to try the case un
til he could reach here. Mr. Torrey
said he simply represented himself and
appeared rather as an officer of the
company than its attorney.
Judge Stanton disavowed being the
Bonta company's representative, say
ing he was merely appearing for him
self to protect an Interest which he
had in the Bonta patents. Mr. Torrey
pointed out that it would again be un
fair and unjust to allow the case to
go to trial with Judge Stanton as the
only attorney for the defense, for the
reason that Judge Stanton's Interests
and those of the Bonta company are
likely to be opposed some time or an
other. OPPOSED A CONTINUANCE.
Mr. Comegys, attorney for the plain
tiffs, insisted on going to trial Imme
diately saying that Mr. Hlbbs had been
duly notified of the time for which the
trial was set and he and not the oppo
sition should be made to suffer for his
failure to be present. Judge Gunster
ordered the case to proceed, saying
that a Jury could be drawn at least be
fore adjournment, and in the morning
all hands could be present.
The defendants attorneys also want
ed to have the cases held over until a
final disposition be made of the Hinds
case to which all the others are paral
lel In every respect. Mr. Comegys was
willing to accede to this If the defend
ants would enter Into a written agree
ment to accept the final finding In the
Hinds case as the verdict In all, but
this they refused to do.
