PLACED =IN' SERVICE i ‘ Installation alse Fire Company in Engine/House, | COLORS PRESENTED WY CHARLES BAUM pee by the istrict Commis- sioners. and Others. THE NEW BUILDING In the prescnce of the District Comm!s- stoners and a large number of the business men of the central section of the city, En- gine Company No. 14 of the District fire department was last evening placed in service. This company, which is located in the fine new house on 8th street between D and E streets, enlarges the department to fourteen steam engines, two chemical engines and four tru a rather respect- atle departn.ent, although, it 1s contended, not by any means adequate to the needs of the District. After the Commissioners and the invited guests had inspected the new house, which was designed by Architect Frederick Pyle, the company was drewn up in line in the dormitery, under direction of Chief Parris, and Mr. Charles Baum, on behalf of the business men of the neighborhood, stepped ferward, and, addressing Commissioner Wight, who has immediate charge of the fire department, presented two silken flags for house decoration, two guidon flags, a large streamer and a handsome sample of Old Glory to fly from the flagstaff. “We present these flags to the company,” seid Mr. Baum, “as a slight token of our regard for the men who compose it. We also desire to express our gratification for the handsome house which has been erected as the home of the company. We appre- ciate the great interest you and your asso- ¢iates on the board of Commissioners have taken in this company, and we desire to say that great credit is due you for the efforts you have made to provide the cen- tral portion of the city with such adequate protection agaiast fire. We wish you and the members of the company the best of health and happiness, and are confident that the men will at all times give a good account of themselves. We desire you, Mr. Commissioner, to accept the flags on behalf of the company.” Commissioner Wight'’s Response. “I thank you, Mr. Baum,” said Mr. Wight, in reply, “very much for your kind- ness and thoughtfulness in presenting these very handsome emblems to the company, and I know they are deeply appreciated. They are surely the prettiest of the kind I have ever seen. It gives me and my as- sociates of the board of Commissioners much pleasure to know that in this com- pany very much {s added to the protection of the city against fire. It is the first fire company which has been placed in this sec- tion of the eity for very many years. It has always been a matter of wonder to me that this part of the city, where millions of dol- lars are represented in the great stores and stocks, has been so long without adequate protection. But ‘ail's well that ends well,’ the old adage sayg, and: am sure this end- ing is well. You nowvhave in this house the finest and best equipped one, not only in this city, but also one of the very best in the country. Qhere are larger houses elsewhere, but none Better equipped, for not one detail necessary to complete this heuse is lacking. 'I know the members of the company appréciaté their fine quarters, and that they will feefinspired to do their full duty on all occasions by such pleas- ant surroundings, and, by such apprecia- tive neighbors I have not the slightest doubt. On their behalf I thank-you and those who have contributed 'fn this matter.” Remarks by Commissioner Roms. Commissfoner Rqss bzing called upon, told how the site had been ‘selected by the old board of Commisstoners;-consisting of Com- missioners Truesdell ind Black and nim- self. It is an ideal site, he thought, for the purposes, and h2 complimented Col. Black for furnishing so complete and handsome a building. “I take,” said Mr. Ross, ‘great pleasure in saying a word at this time in behalf of y the men of the company. At one time I had charge of the fire department and came to know the men, from the chief down. They have at all times my greatest admiration, for they are men who daily risk their I in our behalf, and I never see them return- ing from tke performance of their duties Lut that I feel like taking off my hat to them in acknowledgment of their bravery and devoticn. The world fs ringing just now in praise of the bravery of D-wey, of Hobson and of Powell, and while they de- serve all we can say of them, we should not forget that there are other heroes, th: men who compose our fire departments. All are made of the stuff Americans are made of, and throughout the length and breadth of our land they are at our beck and call, ready at all times to exhibit the true Amer- ican spirit of devotion to duty.” Commixsioner Beach't Contribution. Capt. Beach, the District Engineer Com- misstoner, was introduced by Mr. Baum, and after explaining that he had hoped to svecessfully hide bebind his associates, added to what Mr. Wight and Mr. Ross d said of the house and department. He ntrasted the District fire department with hich existed in his home in the we: ber of years ago, aud told many amusing experiences of the western depari- ment. Chief Eagineer Parris, who explained that he has never made a specch in his life, said that he was delighted to know hat the effort of the Commissioners to pro- vide protection to the central busine: 5 n of the city was so much app: He knew the men of the company appr ciated the kindness of their new neighbors, and he expressed himself as being confident that they will on all occasions render a gcecd accouat of themselves. Mr. Baum, after explaining that the com- pany will be supplied with all the mag- azines and cvrrent literature for a year ¢ least, Invite] th2 Commissioners and others to partake of a lunch provided by Mr. P. H. Hoban. Upon the departure of the Com- n.esioners and friends of the company, it Was placed in service ut 8:41 p.m. by Chief Parris.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN | Annual Festival Held at Linthicum Institute Last Night. Local Notes of Interest That Come From Across Rock Creek Bridge. ‘The apnual strawberry and ice cream festival was held last evening at Linthi- cum Institute, and proved to be a very happy affair, which is characteristic of the gatherings. For the twenty-three years the strawberry and ice cream feast followed the commencement night, and marked the real closing of the school term. Last evening there were a goodly number of the students present, besides the mem- bers of the faculty, and four or five young ladies, members of the Linthicum Dra- matic Club, and invited guests. The feast this year was furnished through the kind- ness of the Linthicum Dramatic Club. After every one was liberally supplied with cake and cream, the enjoyable part of the evening came. Mr. E. B. Hay, as master of ceremonies, called upon the dif- ferent members of the faculty and students of the school for remarks appropriate to the evening. Addresses were made by Meesrs. John Lewis, Louis DesGarenne, Frank Scott, Peyton B. Fletcher, Frank Goodwin, Frank Van Sant, George T. Nixon aid William Sebastian, while Prof. Wm. Hedrick, Mr. James H. Taylor, represent- ing the faculty and the board of trustees; Mr. Nathan Weill, Mr. Frank J. Wissner, Mr. R. Clinton Balinger and Mr. E. B. Hay made addresses on the side of the faculty. ‘The feast lasted for several hours, the best of good feeling and jollity existing. The Last Car. Some complaint has arisen over the earli- ness with which the last car on the Chevy Chase line leaves for Washington, and a number of people who have been incon- venienced are loud in their expression on the matter. The last car on the Chevy Chase line leaves the Chevy Chase circle at 11:30 at night. People who from Washington go out to Glen Echo by way of the Chevy Chase and Glen Ecto lines and return by the same route are .bliged to leave about 11 o'clock in order to make co! ions. geod many not understanding the matter leave Glen Echo any time between 11 and 11:30, and reach Chevy Chase circle in time to find that the last car has gone, an that it is a case of bees ated to town, a very undestrabio Walk. here there ts y crowd left over the railroad company sometimes prevailed upon to run out an extra car, and te accomplish this it ts n essary to walk several miles to the power house of t¥e linc, located near Chevy Chase lake. If only five or six people are in the bunch of unfortunates the distance to town has to be traversed afoot. Bought a Charch. Mr. Gecrge K. King has bought of Co- lumbus Thomas, the old Methodist Episco- pal Church, located at 35th and T streets, | formerly Fayette and 7th streets. The | church when in use was a mission of the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church, but for! some time has been unoccupied, the Sal- vation Army being the last organization to hold services in the place. Mr. King will remodel the church, and make it into a store and dwelling. A Collision. Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday after- noon a collision occurred at 20th street and Pennsylvania avenue . between a wagon and train No. 345 of the Capital Traction Company. The wagon was the property of C. L. Sears of 1429 Harewood avenue. ‘The vehicle sustained a broken shaft, the horse and driver escaping with- out injury. This is the second collision between a wagon and a car that has oc- curred at the same place in less than a week. Without Light. Henry Bowers, an engineer, and Ernest Durnbough, a molder, were arrested last evening before midnight by Policeman Wheeler, who held them on the charge of violating the police regulations. The men were riding bicycles without lighted lamps. At the station house 85 collateral in each case was accepted. Notes. Mr. John Potter and his son George are lying dangerously ill with typhoid fever, at the residence on 38d street near Q. In the calendar of the Catholic Church today is the feast of Corpus Christi, for- merly a holy day of obligation, but now a day of devotion. The feast will be solemn- ly observed at the late mass Sunday. See SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT. Additional Information Concerning Extension of Eleventh Street.
