STANTON Merchants' Week reached third and its most successful day on Tuesday, with a demonstration by the oNrwich fire department that | proved a big attraction in the morn- ing and Flower night at the Indus- trial and Good Home Exposition at the armory, which had a crowd that filled the aisies to the bursting point. Unlon square, where the fire de- | partment demonstration was held in the morning, was also filled with a { blg crowd, numbering probably more than 2,000 and everyone in the big assemblage expressed themselves as highly pleased with everything that Chief Stanton and the fire department showed, The demonstration was conducted on a progressive plan, bringing one piece of apparatus into service after {another, until in the end the entire | fire fighting force of the city was seen at work and nine streams of water were sent shooting up Broadway from | Norwien its | the neighborhood of the police sta- | tion at once. Besides his announced plan, Chief Stanton sprang a surprise that was a most popular move, when he showed a rescue from the attic floor of the city hall, from which an inanimate form was brought down on the exten- slon ladder of the arial truck. The performance began at 10.45 with a showing of the old Torrent Engine No. 1, the first ever used in Norwich, dating from 1769. It was located near a hydrant on Union square, a bucket line of eighteen men was formed, the water passed in the buckets to the Torrent's tank and then &hot out through the pipe when the big hand pumps were manned. This was a part of the performance that excited a great deal of interest. Then the old relic of bygone days was relegated to one side, to clear the stago for the up-to-date work by the Norwich department Under the directfon of Captatn D. J. Twomey. the center of the stage was Kept clear by a force of nine po- | licemen, this part of the duty being so well performed that there were no unpleasant incidents or accidents. When the Torrent was operating an incautions driver in a buggy started to cross the square fust In time to get under the stream, but he received only a slight"wetting. First to rash into view for the modern programme was the auto | chemical, with Driver Henry Taft at tha wheel, and about eight rubber :oated firemen on board. They shot up Union street, and back down Broadway, laving hose from a hy- | drant. and then one of the men puil- |ed in an alarm from Box 33 at the Breadway church coorner. This brought out the chief in his buggy with Drover Charles Culver, he steamer No. 1. driven by Archie Sorcoran, the aerfal truck, driven by A. M. Herrick, Chemical No. 1, with Driver Patric Caples and Chemical No. 2, with Driver James Ryen in the order named. Assistant Chief Adam Gernhard, who was brought from the West Side station by C. V. Pendleton in his mo- torcyele sidecar also shot into view, catching and passing Chemical No. 1 in frent of the Y. M. C. A. building at Broadway. The steamer, Wwith emoke pouring | from its stack, took station at the cistern in Union square, and in 8 min- utes was whistling “steam up.” Meanwhile the other companies had gotten four streams into operation, the | autochemical and the chemical wagons driving back and forth to show how hose is laid in a hurry. Ladders were also run up o nthe city hall front and the supply wagon, driven by John Hill was seen lo ar- rive with coal for the steamer. A special call for more help brought the graw horses and Chemical No. 3 from the Talls dashing down Union street with Driver Bremnan holding the ribbons Six_streams the air by this the Broadway were shooting up into time and the people on crosswalk found they were about to be flooded off by the water rushing to the sewers. They decided to move. Then Chief Stanton sent in the gen- eral alarm, and the Greeneville com- pani responded, Willlam Kramer bringing Engine 2’ down in nine min- utes. and in 14 minutes they were ready to pump. Truck No. 2, with Joseph H. Henderson driving, arrived ahead of the engine. "Phe autoambulance from Backus hospital reached the squaze in Jjumt MERCHANTS’ WEEK IN THIRD DAY Most Successful of the Series—Fire Department Demonstra- tion a Big Attraction in Morning—Armory Thronged in Evening at Industrial and Good Home Exposition. four minutes from the time the gen- cral alarm was turned in. For a demonstration of the use of chemical, Chief Stanton had a pack- ing box of excelsior set on fire in the square and then promptly squeiched by 4 stream of chemical from Company About this time Chief Stanton staged his little surprise, when a flash of red fire was set off in the attic or fourth story of the city hall, a group of Women up there raised a cry for heip, and stuck their heads out of the win- dows. The extension ladder from the aerial truck was guickly shot up to the win- dows and Willlam Rochelie and Fred Woods of Truck No. 1 led the way to the rescue. Soon Fireman Rochelle passed out from the window the inanimate form of “Mary” Backus, who had been caught and nearly suffocated in the attic of the city hall. Fireman Ro- chelle took her over his shoulder in approved form and brought her safely to the ground, where Dr. Rush W. Kimball, the department physician, was waiting by the side of the ambu- lance. Tenderly the helpless woman was laid on the ambulance stretcher, and with a parting injunction from the doctor that strenuous and immediate means mus: be used to resuscitate the victim, the autoambulance bore her away to the hospital. “Mary” was a stuffed figure ‘hich 1s used at the hospital in the d&non- strating department of the nurses ward The last two acts in the perform- ance then followed. The aerial was moved. over near Broadway church and used as a water tower. This was disastrous to a big crowd on the side- walk when the wind drove the water their way in sheets, but nobody mind- ed a little thing like that. One woman with a child in her arms stayed hud- dled up in & corner of the church door 7 years she has resided at her pres- ent home on Union street. Mrs. Forbes was among the many who witnessed the Old Torrent dem- onstration &t Union square Tuesday forenoon which showed the great ad- vance made . since that time in the perfection of fire fighting apparatus.

RECALLS ACTIVE SERVICE OF THE OLD TORRENT Mrs, Luoy A. Forbes Saw the Old Engine Work on Union Square When a Girl. Mrs. Lucy A. Forbes of $8 Unlon street, who is now 83 years of age, distinotly remembers the time, years ago, when the old Torrent hand fire engine was in_active service. One night that made a deep impression on Mre, Forbes and which she has al- | waye remembsred during the years {that have passed by was the night |of a fire which destroyed ome of her i nelghbor’s houses. In these days there was ne fire fight- ing apperatus save the old Torrent, which at one time was housed in a building at the corner of Broadway and Bath street, and as a protection agalnst fire each family had eme or more deep leather buckets with which to carry water from the pump to the Torrent hand engine and which they hung in the front hall ready fer in- stant use. Bach bucket was marked in such a way that it would be re- turned tg the owner after the fire was out or bad burned itself out, as it often did, for in those days when a house caught fire it generally burned to_the ground. Tt was over seventy years ago, about the year 1840, that in the dead of night the startling cry of “Fire! Fire!” was heard along Unjon street and Allen street, now Broadway, awaking Mrs. Forbes, who was then about 8 years of age, and the remainder of the fam- ily and it was not long befare the men of the house and even the women were frantically carrying the leather buckets frem the town pump to the old Torrent in an effort to subdue the angry flames. The town pump was in front of the present city hall and the old Torrent on that night stood in almost the identieal spot that it stood during the fire demonstration on_ Tuesday forenoon. In those days Union square present- ed a very different appearance than it does now. Where the chapel of t Central Baptist church now stands was one of the old fashioned village smithies and in front of the present city hall shaded by two tall button- wood trees stood the town pump. The town pump was about eight feet hij and had a long handle by the ald which the water was pumped. Mrs. Forbes was born in Poquetanuck, but her early life was passed in the vi- clnity of Union square in, as she re- members it, “the old Brown house” Opposite to them lived Danjel War- ren who owned considerable land and who took up the calling of a farmer traveling back and forth from his farms to his house on Union square. Another neighbor of Mrs, Forbes' a Commercial Travelers 'exposition is something no one wants to miss. Thursday is Society night.
