T ohroniclo the history of the local fir salvage corps would require a volume no mean proportions. Bnt to brief ! summarize- the main points of Its history to chronicle its atrnggles and advance mental to hastily cull hero and there story told by the old plonoor firemen , : perhaps within the scope of this nocos uarlly limited artlolo. Before passing to the moro ploasan part of such a talk , that of romlnlsconso it were best , perhaps , to sketch , in very condensed form , the history of the depart mont. Daring the early days of Omaha's his tory say for the first six years , th method of extinguishing fires was ver ; primitive , the " bucket machine" bob the only apparatus in vogno. Darin ; those pioneer tlmos as soon as tbo cry Gro was sounded , each man seized hi wlfo'a best pall or pails , and darted 1 hoad-lodg haste in the direction of th firo. A line wonld bo formed botwec the blaza and the nearest well or cistern Sometimes the fire was extinguished again , sometimes it wasn't. Omaha's growing Intorosta soon demanded mandod an organized system of fire pro tection. A cltizon'a mooting was called In May 18GO. The result was the formation o the Picnoor hook and ladder company For about six years this company wa alone in controlling Omaha conflagrations The company is still in existence and wil complete. Us quarter centennial nex M&y , when it will disband. In the spring of 180G , at the arrival o the now Fire King steamer , the Fin King company , No. 1 was organized with John Hassott president , and C. 8 Goodrich , secretary. This Fire King steamer , really the first fire extinguishing machine over owned by the fire department , is worthy of mention somewhat extended. Thi machine , ono of the old-faahloned pat tern , was first owned by the Utica , N. Y. , department. It was afterward sole to Chicago , whence It was in tnrn dis posed of to Davenport. Once again , il was sold to Omaha , where , after lonf and faithful years of service , the Fire King was purchased by Golden City , Col. It Is still in that city , but its term of usefulness has long since expired. In the fall of 1807 the steamer "Omaha No. I" was purchased and turned over to the File K'ng company , previously ot ganizad. The Fire King engine was turned over to a now company which was christened Fire King 0 > mpany , No. 2. In 1868 , a now Fin King steamer was purchased , manned bj Fire King Company No 2. This company then as now , was located on Tenth street The old building was afterwards burn down , being sot on fire by some ocil gen ins who had previously plundered it while the boys were away at a fire. In 1870 the growth oftho city justified the purchase of another steamer , "Ne braska , No , 3 , " which was tamed over to the No. 1 boys. The No. 1 steamer was moved to i now engine house in the northern part o the city' ' and a new company was formcc which is the nucleus of the present No. company. In March , 1879 , a now steamer was purchased which waa turned over ta the Fire King Company No. 2. The No. 2 engine was turned over to the No. ] Company. This put the old No , 1 en gine out of service , and gave the city throe second-class steamers with No. 1 in reserve. This waa Iho state of the dopartmem up to the building of the waterworks. Sinca that time the steamers have been discarded and the department supplied with newly-patterned hose-carts. The Durant hose company was organfzsd In 1870 under the management of the Union Pacific railroad company , while the Del uge hose company , the latest addition to the fire department , haa boon organized within the present year , and is now lo cated In the now No , 4 engine house In South Omaha. Three years ago the vol unteer department was supplanted by the paid syotom , ainco which time the jre-aervico has reached a high degree ol efficiency. Many uro the stories which the veteran "irenrnn tell of those by-gone days when the old Twelfth street house used to bo .ho rendezvous of all the young bloods n the village. The hook and ladder louse was situated between Farnam and Douglas on Twelfth , and was an old , : umblo'down afFiir , long since lost in ruins. Ono of tbo favorite amusements of the boys used to bo the praa > ; lco of a most unrighteous trick on the unwary strangnr who tarried for n mo ment in the abode of the fireman. As soon as a victim would enter the door ho would be politely escorted to the stove , which had previously boon filled with coiil of the most inthtnmablo and gaseous laturo. The victim would then bo snugly oeoonced in a chair , the lugs of which had boon partly sawed , but which still gnvo no eign of the rotten condition of the foundation In n moment the gas would ignlto c Ebof , a most torriflo explosion would ui > * ut > .

The first period of the department's history was one of struggle , a straggle to build up and to Improve. It mnst bo chronicled , in all truth that the city fathers did not support the department mont very energetically for what reason does not appear. There Is is , however , no doubt but that the city failed to support the boys as it should , Many were the schemes of strategic na ture to which the firemen resorted to build up the department in which they took 10 much prldo. On ono occasion , when they were considerably Incensed at some grievance , they determined to sot forth , In the shape of a practical joke , tholr opinion of the city council. Ac cordingly a leather modal was executed , with filagree and embossment and appropriately priatoly carved with some legend , which unfortunately , has not boon hande ( down to the present generation. Acorn mlttoo of ono was appointed to deliver the leather modal , and the unlucky choice foil to the lot of Jim Noligh , in these days known as Mr. J , J. Noligh Mr. Noligh took the mcda and rushing Into the council room dropped the testimonial of esteem ( ? ) anc abruptly shot out of the room , anticipat ing a forcible and unceremonious ojoction. What effect this practical hi of scarcasm had upon the city fathers In the direction of inspiring their zeal for the fire doprrtmont does not appear. Darin ? the latter years of the war o the rebellion , and at the time when the Quantroll guerillas were committing ex tensive depredations in Kansas , a ludi crous Incident happened which serves well to illustrate the popular fear which then prevailed , that Omaha was to bo victimized by the bold buccaneer and his mon. Everybody in these days was armed for any emergency , anc there was scarcely a family bnl was provided with a small arsenal ready to do service in the event of an invasion. ) Guards were sta tioned on the ontskirta of the village , prepared to herald , In post haste , the first approach of the Invaders. Ono day , while the popular fooling waa at Its height , old Billy Williams , who had been doing sentinel service , was seen riding into Omaha , in the greatest of haste , bellowIng - Ing at the top of his lungs. The circum stance of Billy's effort at speed was , in It self , curious , for Billy was of a nature slow and phlegmatic , while his animal was a most antiquitated mnlo of sadly forlorn and dilapidated appearance. Nev ertheless It came to pass that Billy , lash ing the poor long eared beast to its full speed capacity , daahod into town , bawl- ingmost vociferously. Itso happened that the Western brewery , then situated In the northern part of town had caught firo. Billy ( had spied the conflagration and leaving for the moment his post of guard determined to give the alarm , flo succeeded. The sight of the old man dashing n town to "wako up the natives" was electric in effect. Everybody supposed that the long dreaded guerillas had finally como. In a few moments all Farnam street was bristling with arms and the whole town rose In arms to meet the invaders. No ono seemed to divlno the true cam o of the excitement , and not until the fire department turned out and dashed to the fire was the farcial cause of the ex citement revealed to the people. It was come time before the anxious Omahan subsided from terror into a broad grin over the Q nan troll Invasion. Ono of the most memorable nights of the fire department in its days of infancy was the occasion of the Will R. King Ire , the occasion of the murder of Higgins - gins , on the night of November 23 , 18GC. Biggins , it will bo remembered , was the cashier of King & Co. . and was mur dered by Baker , a porter employed in the store. Baker's plan was , after stealthily killing Biggins , to sot fire to the store , hoping thereby to cover up all traces of the crime. When the fire was first discovered by the watchman , the alarm was promptly sounded. It so hap pened that the fire department that very day had purchased several hundred foot of additional hose. Each man packed ' jp a fifty-foot section of ; ho hose , and started on a run for the fire. The boys worked like Trojans that night , and before the flames had gained nuch headway , the fire was under con trol. The records of the department , old and musty , still show a copy of the letter n which Will R , King and ac- fnowledgod the cfiicacy of the dopart- nont and courteously tendered several Baskets of champagne as n "testimonial of gratitude. " The burning of the Grand Central heel - : ol and the terrible scones connected .herewith are too fresh in the memory of ivory Omahan to require extended men- .Ion. .Ion.A A glance at the fire department of to day must close this already too extended irtlclii. There are now four onglno louses In Omaha. No. 1 , in north Omaha , with four men ; No. 2 , on Tenth street , with four paid mon and two minute ion ; No. 3 , on Sixteenth street , with eight men , and No. 4 , in south ) maho , with two mon. The department is fairly well equipped nd has shown Itself able to cope -with ny emergency that may arise.

BALKY HOESES , Ilmt is the Klnil Now Used by the Etrcct Oar Company. For a month or ais weeks past the atreet car company has been trying to work a lot of balky horses , particularly on the Ureon Hue. Many complaints lave been heard in regard to this and indeed the paosongers have a right to complain. It ia no interesting thing to lit In a car which is colder than ice , 'or fifteen to twenty minutes , and wait until a balky horeo takes a notion to ; o ahead. During the past two weeks ; his haa boon done many timoa a day and ia growing worse instead of better. Yesterday afternoon a horse attached : o a green car balked at the corner of Six teenth and Wobator streets , and refused to move for fully twenty minutes , The car waa crowded with paasongora and many of : hem got out and walked down town , not icing able to wait for the horao to start. This thing might do if the woathir was warm and pleasant , but the cars are sup posed to make the trains at the depot ind several passengers during the past 'ow weeks have missed trains on account of bolng delayed by balky homes. A gentleman waa hoard to remark to- lay , "If this street cr.r company want to ironic colta and balky horses , they should 10 compelled tu build a track out in the jountry and do the work there nnd not nillct this tartnro upon tholr patrons.
