A copy of the by-law authorizing the formation of the first fire brigade {in the city of Kingston was recently { received from Mr. George Stock- {bridge by the Whig. It is"thought | to be the only copy available in the city and is remarkably well preserv- ed dating back to the year 1869. The rules and 'regulations are quaintly worded and deal mostly with the governing of the fire brigade, and define most explicitly the duty of | each man on'the permanent and vol- | unteer forces. The fire brigade of that time con- {sisted of a chief engineer, first and second assistant engineers, three engine companies of not less than thirty men each, and not more than | forty-five, inclusive of officers, one | hook and ladder company of twenty men and a hose company of forty | men, which was divided into four || equal sections. Fire drill was held §| each month and the engineers were { { it t { { { { { { { { } | f called to report to the city counefl ll | atter each practice. When a fire occurred, every avafl- | able bell in the city was sounded. Im- I! mediately on the alarm all Mcensed called upon to carry water~to the "blaze. For the first puncheon of water to arrive at the fire, the carter recetved the sum of | two dollars, for the second the sum | of one dollar, and for all succeeding | puncheons the sum of twenty-five | cents. All carters were called upon || to carry water to the fire as long as | the chief engineer demanded. Need- | less to say at the least hint of a fire, | the carters of the city were on the job. Special by-laws were passed to prevent interference of the com- panies, who used to compete for the honor of arriving at the fire first and since this was a cause of accidents to fire brigades, it was strictly for- bidden. A pamphlet of the rules and or- ders of the city council was also re- This dates back to 1863 and deals with the conducting of the affairs of the city. Both of these relics are very definite in their explanations and rules. SAVES TRAINS 7 "AY C. W.

C. McCAMBRIDGE RECEIVES AN HONOR Is Made a Fellow of the Am- erican College of Surgeons. DR. CHARLES McCAMBRIDGE Another of Kingston's sons has at- tained prominence in the medical world in the person of Dr. Charles McCambridge, son of Mis, Catherine McCambridge, 396 Princess street. Dr. McCambridge has been made a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, which is the highest honor that can be conferred upon Ameri- can surgeons. He was given the de- gree at the International Congress of Surgeons and Physicians at Phila- delphia a short time ago. Dr. McCambridge was born in Kingston and attended the old Chris- tian Brothers' School and later the Kingston Collegiate Institufs. He passed the high school entrance be- fore he was eleven years of age. He attended Queen's, University and after a brilliant course, graduated from there in 1898. Shortly after his graduation he left Kingston and went to Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where he has been practising for the past twenty-six years, having a very large surgical practice in the district. Dr. McCambridge was one of the four senior surgeons at St. Francis Hospital there, and he was associat- ed with Dr, J. W, Poucher in his sur- gical sanitarium for ten years. His brother. Dr. James McCambridge ts algo a graduate of Queen's University and is also in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where he carries on a large eye and ear practice. He has been there for sixteen years. Another brother, Dr. Leonard McCambridge is an eye and ear specialist in Burlington, Vt. All three brothers are well known in Kingston and the many friends of Dr. Charles McCambridge will be happy to learn of his recent recogni- tion and extend to him hearty con- gratulations. His mother, Mrs. Catherine McCambridge, is justly proud of the honor that has come to her son. Incidentally, Mrs. Me- cambridge has been a reader of the Whig for over forty years.
