in C. King' Driving Accident. Not only firemen of today, but many ot the older residents who “ran wid Fe machine” in the days before horses Book the fire apparatus’ to fires, arc teraveed in the proposition of the wtucket Veteran Firemen's associ- 4 i:lon to celebrate the centennial of the % irthday of Willlam Jeffers, who ought fame to Pawtucket, as a Rl builder of the old hand engine fire tubs, so called. William Jeffers, who was one of the most noted builders of fire tubs in his day, was born August 27, 1809, in Mil- ton, Mass. When a-young man he removed to Pawtucket, and it was there he made his name and fortune. In 1844 when the big double-deck hand engines, built by Agnew at Philadel- phia, was received by the volunteers of Pawtucket, Mr. Jeffers, who had Ween experimenting with fire pumps, took the machine in hand and rebuilt it so far chinery were concerned, and the ma- ehine was sold to Westerly and known as Rhode Island No. 1. Subsequently the engine went back to Pawtucket, was rechristened and has been known since as the Hay Cart, outstripping all | ether machines of her class in spirit- od_contests. Mr. Jeffers devoted his attention to the building of hand fire engines and the first product of his shops was the Gaspee Mo. 9 for the Providence de- partment, and now owned by the Prov- idtnce Veteran association. #0 successful that he constructed and put into commission about 150 tubs of | the same type of pumps, though of differing styles of box and superstruc- ture. The Pawtucket association plan is to have a muster in that city, August 27, and tvite all the machines of the Jeffers make in and about New Eng- Jand to participate. There are about twenty-five of these within a radius of fifty miles and it is believed they will gladly accept the invitation te do honor to the memory of the famous fire engine builder. In Rhode Island there are at least nine muster engines of the Jeffers build, which includes the Hay Cart of Pawtucket, formerly owned in Westerly, and the Gaspee of Provi- dence. Also, the Nameaug, formerly of New London, later the Rough and Ready of Johnston, and now owned by the Watchemocket company of East Providence. Besides there is the Ocean of Knighsville, Star of Crans- ton, Narragansett of Riverside, Wat- chemoket of East Providence, King Philip 8t Bristol and Mechanic of Warren. At Phillipsdale is located the ©old Grasshopper, of a special experi- mental type, of ‘which only two were built, the other being sold in Texas. In addition there are a few other Jef- fers tubs in the state that have not been in use or at musters in so many’ years that they have been practically forgotten. In connection with the celebration, it is planned to have crews of the pres- ent active members of the Rhode Is- Jand Ones of Westerly and of the Na- meaugs of New London man the brakes of their old machines, “Shake her down,” and squirt a stream over a measured distance for a suitable prize., Edwin C.

Tt is 1 that in addition to his alleged claim, as a commissioned ficer of the old rifle company, he has since secured quit-claim deeds of the property from the Taylor heirs, and is therefore the real owner of the property.
