A Fire Flees Before the Hescue Company's Chemical Engine. THOUSANDS SEE THE EXHIBITION Enthusiasm Over the Results and Praises Showered Upon the Rescue for Their En terprising and Prosperous WorkIm portant Joint Committee Action, Fully fivo thousand people turned out last evening to witness tho testing of the Itcscuo Hook & ladder Company's chemical cngino, and so fur as can bo lcaruod not ono In tho great gathering left tho grounds disappointed, or displeased. Tho test was made on tho baso ball grounds near tho Kchlcy Hun col liery and tho sheds In Fowler's lumber yard and Graf's screen factory. Tho railroad em bankment and kchlcy Hun breaker aUbrdcd oxccllcnt scats of a grand Btand order. Tho test was attended by considerable core- monyandtho enthusiasm in behalf of tho voluntoor flromon ran high, tho Kescuo boys being tho recipients of compliments and con gratulations on all Bides for tho cntorprising and progressive spirit thoy havo oxhibltod. Tho Iicscuo boys desorvo all tho praiso that is being showorod upon them. For several months past they havo mado a record in tho enlargement and improvement of their facilities to light flro that'Would reflect credit upon a much larger and far richer company. They havo enlarged their apparatus room to almost doublo its former sizo, havo pur chased an additional team of largo, flno look' ing horses, and havo tho purchase of a fifth horse in negotiation, havo invostcd In a sub stautial and attractive transfer truck, and now como forward with a chemical engine, Witli theso additions to thoir hookand laddor truck tho company stands better equipped for nro scrvico than any other in tins county and equal to many of tho best In tho state. At about seven o'clock last oyening Mar shal Hughes, tho head driver for tho company, started from tho headquarters seated on tho now chemical englno drawn by John" and Hill," as flno a team of horses as over pulled an apparatus over tho streets of town. Tho Iattor korso is ono of tho recent purchases and tho team has been assigned for Mr. Hughes' regular use. Ho is justly proud of it, Accompanying tho npparatus woro Messrs. It. Eoso Holloway and O. F. Callaghan, repro- sentlng tho manufacturers of tho eugino for tho test, and several members of tho Itcscuo company. Tho First Lithuanian Hand ar rived upon tho testing grounds soon after tho apparatus and played "Tho McKinlcy Club March" while llnal arrangements woro mado for tho exhibition. Tho following joint committee, of members 01 1 110 iiorougn council ana citizens was selected to witness and lass upon tho results of tho test : Couucilmcu A. D. Gablo, F. E, Magarglo and Daniel Coakloy and Messrs, Georgo Folmer, Michael Graham, James Grant, Georgo W. Ileddall, P. J. Ferguson and James Kauo. Tho commlttco was under tho caro of Joseph Templo, of tho Kescuo members, and assigned a position whero all work in connection witli tho test could bo observed. Tho program was to set on flro a small shanty filled with matorial of tho most in llammabio kind at hand and after tho flro had secured full headway to sco how soon it could bo extinguished by tho service of tho chemical engine. Tho structure erected for tho purpose was a skeleton of very light boards 12 feet high, 12 feet deep and 10 feet wide. It was filled with old store boxes, waste, papor and cast oil" pitch barrels and tho whole, including tho structure itself, was thoroughly saturated witli coal oil, so that no doubt was left as to tho inflammablo character of tho structure. At exactly 13J minutes after 7 o'clock tho torcli was applied, Tho oil and pitch ignited in an instant and with a great roar tho flames shot heavenward. It seemed that the shanty and all its contents would bo consumed bo. fore tho tlrcmcn could pick up tho hose. Tho heat becaino so intense immediately after the fire started that tho great crowd surged away to escape tho ell'eets. Tho flro was allowed to rago almost half a rain uto and by that timo seemed havo progressed as fur as possiblo without transforming tho shanty Into complcto ruin, At a given signal Mr. Callaghan, dressed in an old suit of clothes for tho purpose and carry. ing a wet sponge between his teeth, dashed towards tho burning pilo with a hoso coir nectcd with tho chemical cngino in hand. Ho was asslstod In carrying tho hoso forward by sovcral members of tho Iioscuo company, Mr. Callaghan quickly operated tho shut-olf nozzle, there was a sputtering and spraying of whito fluid, and almost instantly tho blazing furnace wa3 transferred into a black smouldering mass and tho shanty still stood erect. Tho fluid from tho chemical engine had dono its work so quickly that tho flames were cut oil beforo they could cat their way through tho thin boards of tho structure. One of tho citizens' committee Mr. Ileddall, timed tho operation with a stop watch and announced that tho lire was ex tinguished In 03 seconds. Tho flro was re klndlod and with tho shut-off nozzlo In tho hands of Joseph Mader, ono of tho Roscuo members, tho flames were extinguished in 20 seconds. Tho second flro was not as strong as tho first, still It was flcrco enough to mako Madeira work surprising. Tho test was followod by more music by tho band, after which tho committee of judges and .invited guests proceeded to tho Rescue company's headquarters. Tho joint commlttco held n meeting in tho company's parlors, Councilman Gablo presiding. Messrs. Gable, Coaklcy, Ferguson, Graham, Grunt, Kane, Beddall, Folmer and Magargio mado short addresses on their observations of tho test and strongly endorsed tho apparatus usod. Tho Itcscuo Company was also highly complimented and the remarks wero eventu ally concentrated In a sentiment that it would bo only fair for the taxpayers to sustain tho cost of tho apparatus and tho best and easiest method to bring this about would bo an action by the Borough Council to purchase tho engine. It was also tho sentiment of tho commlttco that a second chemical engino should bo purchased for ono of tho other companies and that oven thrco of tho engines would bo a wlso expenditure. Councilman Gablo said : "I am highly pleased with this test and, If it is In my power, I will advocate anything of this kind in town. It is nothing more than right that tho tnxpayers should pay for this new engine, Tho firemen should not bo obliged to go down Into thoir pockets to buy apparatus to snvo tho properties of tho peoplo at largo. I will advoente that tho Borough Council buy this cngino." Councilman Magnrglo said ho concurred in all Mr. Gablo said. Mr. Grant suggested that a commlttco lo appointed to go beforo Council and nsk for an appropriation, but Mr. Ferguson suggested that it would bo better to let the Koscuo company tako action beforo going beforo tho Borough Council. Tho latter view was accepted and Messrs. Ferguson, Folmir, Grant, Graham and Beddall were apiwlntod a commlttco to act after tho Koscuo company passes upon ttio matter. It is contemplated to mako a presentation of tho case lieforo Council at its next meeting. Tho Rescuo's chemical engine weighs 8,800 pounds when tho tanks aro not loaded and about 4,P0O when they nro filled. A pressure of from 100 to 180 pounds can bo generated in 11 seconds. At the test there was n pressure of 180 pounds. Tho cngino has two tanks for tho chemical preparation used to extin guish lire and each tank has a capacity of 00 gallons. Each gallon of tho chemical is said to bo equal to 40 gallons of water. Tho test was accomplished yesterday with only J tho contents of ono tank. Tho cngino can bo kept in continuous use, ns tho chemical for ono tank can .1)0 generated long beloro tho other can be otqpticd. Each tank contains 60 gal lons of Water and 20 pounds ol Mcnrnonnio soda. Tho outsido cells carry 10 pounds oach of sulphuric acid. By simply precipi tating tho acid into tho alkali water tho gas is at onco generated. Tho engino is always ready for service. There is no delay in mak ing connections with lire plugs, or other pre liminaries lieforo tho flro can lio attacked. Tho Kescuo Company served refreshments at its headquarters after tho test and royally entertained several hundred citizens, Pro- thonotnry Dcegan was among thu visitors during the evening. There was music by tho Lithuanian band. Several visiting members sang popular songs, and Cunt. Georgo W. Johnson (poko upon tho flro department after repeated calls. Tho following mcmbors of tho company had charge of the arrange ments for tho test and deserve compliments for tho successful manner in which they car ricd them out : Joseph L. Temple, Benjamin F.

Coroner McLaughlin cmpjinncloda jury consisting of six of Atlantic City's weultny nnu in fluential citizens. After formal organlza tlon in tho coroner's ofllco tho jury, headed by that official, visited the old F.xcursion House, which has been utilized ns a morguo. Tho dead had all been taken thcro and placed in icu lioxes. Tho jurymen vlowed tho bodies and after n few minor formal lties adjourned to meet agnin in tho nfter- noon. At 4 o'clock they again mot for tho purposo of visiting tho sceno ot tho WTeck. A snecial train on tho Rending had boon engaged, nnd tho party was soon on tho sceno. Tho police kept tho crowd nt n re spectful distanco nnd tho jurors went over tho cround. Tho relief gangs had dono effective work. Both tracks wero now clear, the artlclos of clothing which lclonged to vic tims had been taken to police headquar ters, and much of tho wreckage had been removed.

Georgo F. Hausor, who had chnrgo of tho tower, and who is now under arrest, has mado several statements to tno ponce. no told Uiom ho saw both trains coming when both wero sulllclently far away to admit of tho full display of signals, but ns tho West Jersey wns tho nearer, ho gnvo tho Heading tho red light nnd signalod tho other train to como ahead. Lho Itcaillug, howevor, never slacked speed, but canio on. Tho men In tho cub either thought they could easily clear tho point In timo, or tho brakes failed to work, and thoy could not stop In time. Tho only living man who positively knows this Is Fireman O'lloulnhan, who savod his life by leuplng from tho cab. Newspaper men had been unnblo to lo cate O'lloulnhan until last night, though his whereabouts woro known to tho uu thorltles. Ho was finally located Inst night at a boarding house at 21 South Ar kansas avenuo, but dosplto nil kinds of pressure, probably acting under Instruc tions, ho refused to discuss tho nccldent from any point of view.
