FAMOUS OLD FIRE ENGINE.
Biff Sir. Relic of Tweed Days, to
Appear in Parade.
Big Six, th- «i{rln<» that one© belonged to
Arr.ericus Engine Company No. 6. of. the New-
York Volunteer Fire Department, and of which
Bl'l Tweed ""a? foreman, will appear in a fire
rmn's parade In Lome Island City to- morrow
rr.otr.ing. The engine is now the property of the
Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Association of that
cttjr. and the organization will turn out in force
to parade before leaving on Us annual outing
for College Point.
Tt is many years since volunteer firemen pulled
on the drag rope of Big Six She parsed from
the hands of the Kefir-York department to the
United States government, and for years was
located at WlTJst'a Point, Long Tslajid. and
member* of the engineer corps of the regular
Errr.y used to drag her to a fire -when one broke
out in the post. It was the streams from Big
Fix's pumps rears ago that saved the fort from
probably total destruction. A fire broke out in
the largest storehouse on the reservation, and the
"big stx.~ twe:
flam-? spread rapidly. The soldiers responded
to the alarm, and a stream from Big Si* was.
Foon playing on the fire. The large number of
soldten enabled frequent changes of men on the
•-ngine pumps, and in that way the stream of
water kept up Its force and cheeked the flames.
The government lost much valuable property
In that fire, but continued to depend on Big Six
— fire protection until a year ago. when she
was sold 10 a dealer in old iron for a paltry
Bum, and filially the Long Island City volunteers
got the machine.
The Lonr Island City fire laddies have been
working for months to get the engine In shape
for the parade to-morrow. Joseph Allen, former
essistant chief, has had charge of the work of
restoring the engine, and it is said that she is
now in about the sam» condition and presents
Ute :me appearance as she did when she left
her builder's shop in Philadelphia, more than
half a ceniurv -£■-> it was found necessary to
supply some parts of brass, and old members
of the Americus .company were hunted np and
consulted as to the original appearance nf the
engine.
To crown the efforts of the Long Island City
•veterans, they have succeeded in obtaining the
■w |gH»i signal lantern that was on the machine
to Tweed's days. It was owned by Mrs. An
thony Burke, of Manhattan, widow of the last
foreman of the company. Despite the fact that
the signal lantern cost (500. Mrs Burke was so
pleased that the old engine was to be herself
gain and in the hands of volunteer firemen that
Bh« siadly presented the signal to the associa
tion ~ and it wJU swing on its old frame to
morrow morning for The first time since Ameri
rus Engine Company No 6. New-Tors: > olun
i o« r Fire Department, was disbanded.
The purchase of Bis; Six by the Loner Island
C3ty veterans bam greatly -eased the mem
bership of the organization, and the drag rope
to-morrow morning- will have fully one hundred
men in full uniform on it. The parade will be
!»d by a band, and the line of march includes
Urn most important streets in Astoria and Hun
t<sr» s "Point. The engine is to be decorated with
the nauor.al colors So that nothing might
happen to the engine before the day for the
parade a committee has watched over her every
nJ£b.t far several weeks She lies in Larkin
jgtTOthers* carriage shop. In Pulton-st.. Astoria.

Two Prisoners Escape from Biker' ft

Both men are expert swimmers, and. it Is be

BOMB FOLLOWS THREATS.
Home of Man Who Got "Black
Hand" Letter* Wrecked.
A bomb containing a powerful explosive was
hurled against the front of the barber shop of
CastaiM Uotto. at No. 813 Flushing-aye.. Wllnams
burg. early yesterday morning, and exploded with
a '■-port that could be heard for two miles. The
explosion completely wrecked the front and Interior
of the shop
The attack on th* p!ac» followed the refusal of
the barber to submit to the demands of a -'Black
Hard" society which for th<» last year and a
half had been threatening to kill him and his
family if he didn't pay over a iarg- sum of money.
When Uotto first got the letters in April. 19M,
he paid no attention to them, but later when the
tetteri demanded KJBO. with the lives of himself
and his family as the penalty if he refused. Liott >
became frightened and took the letters to tne
Staeir-st police station. Captain Hayes detailed ■
policeman in plain clothes to the case, and for
months the officer remained in the shop all night
La'er a policeman was stationed in front of the
shop, and for the last few months the policemen
on the beat had Instructions to keep a close watch
OI Th" exrjlo=ion took plac«* shortly before 3 o'clock.
Policeman Dramm.' of the Sta«g-st station, was
standing at Flushing-aye and Mornl!-st.. half a,

BIG SIFAAGERIE BUUGHT.
Entire Collertiov of Animals ny Glen
Island Changes Hands.
The largest collective animal trade in many years
■wus made yesterday, when Dr. Martin J. Potter, of
No. 138-140 East 25th-st, purchased the entire Glen
Island menagerie from John H. Statin. The price
was $25,000. Thompson & Dundy. of the Hippo
drome a.nd Luna Park, immediately secured an op
tion on the animals.
Glen Island. Btarin's land off New-Rochelle, has
been closed as a summer resort since the summer
if I?*H. H*> has made plans for radical changes in
the conduct of the place next year, which will not
reauire th» presence of the zoological collection,
which formerly was Its chief attraction.
Dr. Potter went to Glen Island early in the week
in the hope of finding there a donkey which would
fin the reauirements of an animal needed for the
Hiopodrome show. He found the beast in the col
lection of eighteen there, arranged for its purchase
from the superintendent, and later encountered Mr.
Starin wandering about the menagerie. Dr. Fott«r
commented on the magnitude and variety of the
animals and «n their excellent condition, and Mr.
Stann remarked that when he d<-- -» finally to
sell them he hoped that they would fall into no less
exDerienced hands than those of the veterinarian
or the amusement men whom he represented.
Negotiations began at once and the bargain was
closed yesterday. The total number of animals,
reDtilee and birds which change hands Is 398. The
larereet herd of buffaloes in the country, excepting
that in Yellowstone National Park, is included in
the transaction. There are twelve females and
seven males in the lot. A well known wealthy
man made an offer for them, all last night. He
wants them for his estate in the Ramapo Moun
tains
There are eighteen bears-, a dozen tigers and leop
ards, six elephants, zebras, camels, kangaroos, deer,
eleven lions and smaller animals of every known
type and kind.
The birds include all varieties. The donkey, the
search for which resulted in the big d*a!. was
taken to the Hippodrome last night and given an
honored place in the first box stall of the stables.
His future life will be a ceaseless round of luxury
and fine food. He expressed his gratitude by kick
ins: a stable boy in th'? face.
Mr Starin would say nothing last, night of his
future plans for Glen Island, and Thompson &
Dundy. if they are in the secret, are equally reti
cent.
ANOTHER STJIT IN DUFFY CASE.
Friend Says He Gave Missing Clerk Security
Which He Never Got Back.
Btill another suit involving the alleged fraudu
lent transactions of Edward 8. Duffy, formerly
manager of the Newark branch of J. S. Bache, &
