Perhaps some of tbe readers of Tab Tele RArH bve had the unfortunate experience to have bad a alight fire occur no tbeir premises. If a lamp spsets and a table-cloth is burned, or if a detective flue ignites some portion of the wood-work -of the dwelling, and the information thereof should (bad luck) happen to get on the streets, an alarm of fire would instantly be started, and in less time than it takes to write this, that unfortunate dwelling would he Instantly surrounded by a gronp of perspiring and fussy men who would break furni ture, euaash windows, pour floods of water, and eo alter the condition of things about thU house t it its oncr would scarcely know it if he wasn't told of the fact. This, it will be ob senrd, would be the condition of affairs had oar defective floe or upset lamp done this dimae under the old Volunteer Fire Depart ment. This is not written with a dtire to reflect ou the personnel, but on the njslttit. of th old regime. The same meu who gave thtr 'crvlees i the old we have now la the new It was the utter want of systematic manao-pmenL1- flwl"K from a lack of authority m the nart of managers, which rendered the old nlan nearlv ,'ees in some cases and very dest?ucUvee1ntk . t?fS were the-defects of the old system painfully manifested.

Yesterday morning about 1 o'c. f Jf a Jre was discovered between the plastering aia ander the stair flooring of thellightof stairs ru'ualuS from the secondto tbe third story of the .81 dence of Michael Weaver, No. 1907 Wain street. It was a trifling fire, and was easily ex tinguished. "A few buckets of water extin guished the flames," was the newspaper report; but this simple announcement contained the expression of a fact which shows that it is not absolutely necessary in all cases to deluge a house with streams of water, when the work would be as well done with a few buckets. This little piece of reason has been frequently overlooked, and the results of its neglect have been disastrous, as all know. The parties in Mr. Weaver's house are ex travagant in their praises of the admirable way in which the fire was managed. The engines on the ground were: No. 1 (.Delaware), No. 4 (Philadelphia), and Truck (Fame Hose). A hose was attached to a plug arid run to the front door of the dwelling, bat the water was not tamed on. It was placed in this position merely to be in readiness in case of emergency. The extent of the fire was then ascertained and extinguished by buckets, the water having been obtained from the bath-room of the dwelling. With the exception of the burned portion of tbe stairs and some very trilling damage dme by th water, one would hardly know that a fire' had occurred in the place. There was no rushing here and there, no fur niture broken, no mirrors smashed. All was done quietly and effectively. The house is beautifully furnished, and near where the fire took place were numbers of little articles, j ust convenient enough to be placed in the pocket. Not a single article was taken from the place. There was silverware also near at hand, but it was left untouched. We do not give tbe firemen credit for not being thieves, but the fact Is worth mentioning. The men were also cour teous, careful to preserve everything from in jury, and were willing to receive any reasonable suggestions that were made. So much for the new system. It promises most excellent results. A .Large Sewer Across Darby road, half way between Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth street, a new sewer is to be constructed, which will cost from f 18,000 to 20,000. It will have a clear Inside diameter of 20 feet, and a length of 84 53 feet; to be built of brick, circular in form, with an eighteen inch arch and counter arch laid in hydraulic cement. A channel-way is to be constructed at the .pper end, of the fiewer, connecting with Mill creek, about 270 feet long, and one at the lower end about 1C0 feet. This channel will be 20 feet wide at the bottom, with side slopes of six inches to the foot. The work is to be pushed forward at once, and proposals will be advertised for in a few days. Man Stabbed in Alaska 8treet. A serious stabbing affray occurred at Seventh and Alaska streets last night, from the effects of which one E. R. Williams, who is now in the Pennsylvania Hospital, may die. The assailant of Williams is a man named Richard McUovern, who. in con nection with a crowd of men, attempted to rob Williams.

A man with one arm was found staggering around drunk on pier No. 18, Port Richmond, last night, by Officers Terrell and Vanderslice of the Delaware Harbor police.

A few days ago we enUghtened our readers upon the misdoings of the Collins & Hulraes' Minstrel Company In ttermantown. We have tome further particulars of the swindle perpe trated upon the Mount Airy Library Associa tion: In tbe first place, Collins denies haying any partnership in tbe concern, but states that he wus only a hired member of tbe troupe. Hulmes' real name is said to be Alfred II. Humphreys, and his residence No. 2017 Hitter street. It will be remembered that Hulmes or Humphreys offered a large photograph frame, valued at fr.25, to the society selling the largest number of tickets for tbe entertainment. The Mt. Airy Library Association sold 143 tickets, and was entitled to the frame. It now appears that the frame was purchased from the maker, who was to be paid twenty dollars on the even ing of the entertainment, or have It returned to him. Being a prudent man, he came to Germantown to superintend the dispo sal of his property. Hulmes then told him that be could not pay him twenty dollar, and would therefore return the frame. 1 he swindle Is made the more flagrant from the fact that the Mount Airy Library had twice hired the minstrels for entertainments, and had paid them liberally for their services. Members of this society were at Alderman Thomas' on Tuesday evening to get advice about prosecut ing Humphreys for swlndlng, but no action will be taken except to expose him whenever he at tempts a similar game. When the disappearance of the f.ntme was dis covered, members of the library immediately went to the railroad depot and searched the 10 and 11 o'clock trains, but failed to find anything of Humphreys, who probably went to one of the lower stations, as he and the frame maker were seen passing Chelten avenue on their way aown me .Main street, me members of the troupe were loud in their denunciations of Hum phreys, who, according to their story, had failed to pay them their salaries. 8hould he attempt to visit Frankford, or any of the suburban vil lages, a committee of the Mount Airy Library will be on hand to expose him. From tbe Bethlehem Daily Times we learn t.Hat when these Minstrels visited Bethlehem they ne.?Jeeted to pay the printer's bills. BUKGLAKS ABOUT. TlifV Operate I (Jersanntown-Oae of them Captured. On Tuay BlKnt an yesterday morning tlere were sevei attempts to commit burglaries throughout GeiZn5tow1 , Among other places tried was that of H-ber, on Main street, near the Railroad. -h? P0,,lce had erlV la formation of the intended d and were on the lookout for the thieves. The cJiequence of this vigilance was that Officers aulgberry &u O'Farrell succeeded in capturing one . a gang of burglars attempting to rob the residence or Mr. Reed, on Clapier street, near Township .Une road. There were six men engaged in the job, and they had already effected an entrance and stolen an umbrella when they were, detected by the police. An att!?Vht was maria t.n nrrAst. Itism. hut. iha burglars ran, when tbe policemen fired tbeir re volvers at the fugitives. The burglars returned the fire, but no one was injured. One man, however, was captured and brought to the Hall, where he was locked up until morning. He had a bearing before Alderman Good yesterday morning, when he gave the name of David Bird, and said that he resided in Brooklyn, and had never been in Philadelphia before. He was committed for a fnrther hearing at the Central Station yesterday afternoon. Bird positively refused to give the names of his comrades, or any clue whereby they might be arrested. The'slze of his foot corresponds with the track of the burglar who broke into General Kilburne's residence on Pulaski avenue last week. This capture, in connection with the arrest of two burglars last week, should have the effect of ridding Germantown of many of the depredators who have been prowling around that vicinity for come time. Several attempts have been made to rob Main street stores within the last few weeks, and increased vigilance on the part of both citizens and police should rid German town entirely of burglars, nearly all of whom appear to come from New York. CAST OFF. A Crippled Orphan Olrl Deserted by a Cruel Mother. Another instance of maternal inhumanity was brought to our notice this morning by Vagrant Detective Recder. The case was that of a girl, crippled from her birth, named Elizabeth Cole, and aged fourteen years. She says that a long time ago she lived with ber parents in this city, and was well cared for. But this domestic tran quillity, if we may judge from her narrative, was suddenly interrupted by the transfer of the affections of the mother from her lord to a paramo ar pamed Isaac Dubois. They suddenly migrated. i,C Towanda, in Bradford C0U- leaving the husband oth wif" ind childless, Hat while in lowanua me guilty pair committed some crime and were folntly sent to prison, and the little girl wai taen care oi at a jiome ior oruauo. auuui, two years ago, tbe term of their imprisonment having expired, the mother and Dubois called to see Lizzie, and during the interview the former caressed the child, and promised to come back the next morning. Since then she never was seen, me gin, leaving me nome, Deggeu about the streets, plead for work, ana either was rebuffed, or, when she was taken into a bouse, was by the inmates cruelly beaten. She was forced to run away from many sucn places, cue says Since then I have .been begging; and many places where I went the people did nothing but wbip me. lesieraay ner case c&uie w mo knowledge of tbe Poor Master at Towanda, and learning from her story that ber father, Charles Cole, was in Philadelphia, he placed her on tbe cars, and last night she arrived here. She is in tbe charge of Mr. lieeaer, ana wiu do Kinaiy cared for until her father is found. SriciDE The Coroner has been notified to hold an inquest in the case of Matthias Gaumer, who was found dead in ms residence, no. idud Codwalader street, having committed suicide by hanging. . , Denuty coroner ees nas neia an inquest in the above case. Tbe deceased was 55 years of a?e. This morniuflr at 6 o'clock his son, on coming down stairs, iouna mat ms iaiuer was not about the premises. He observed that the cellar-door was partly open, and on going into that dace discovered his father suspended from a joist by a rope, ms Knees were arawu up close to the body. Gaumer has been ailing for soma time oast: his wife is blind, and his son waslalso sick. The family were out of employ ment, and this, in connection with bad health, doubtless led the deceased to commit the rash act. To Brickmakers and Otiiers.

FROM EUROPE., Anathrr Outbreak la Parts. Paris, March 23 Last evening an outbreak occurred in the Place Vendome. The Insurgents had been much irritated by the proclamation the National Assembly had Issued, and determined to recent it with violence. The temper of the general public ns they stood discussing the situa tion was sufficient to excite the anger of the "Eeds," for they were denounced on all bands and their outrages spoken of in bitter terms. One gentleman reproached the National Guard for timidity and cowardice and apparent sympa thy with the insurgents. The discussion grew heated, and one of the National Guards confronted this gentleman, the end of which was a fight between the two, in which the gentleman left the crowd somewhat damaged In physical appearance. The groups of people, evidently ripe for mischief, became so alarming that an order was given the National Guards to clear the Place Vendome. The people refused to leave and The Guard Ftrerf, killing five persons and wounding many others. The firing was successful in clearing the Place Vendome, and as many of .the crowd were insur gents, with chaesepots in their hand, ielr In disposition to return the fire was regarded as very significant. Paris has, however, become much calmer, and the Abaence of Competent Leaders wlti !he insurgents induces the citizens to te lieve the rioters are not supported. FROM WdSmJVGTOJY. Army Order.

The Queiep. of Adjournment. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, March 23. The House is en gaged In its favorite pastime of passing resolu tions for adjourning the two houses sine die. Dawes and Wbceler baying become wearied at the business, Farnsworth to-diy assumed the role of leader. The proposition now is that the Senate consent to an adjournment of the House next Monday. Of course this will not be agreed to by the Senate. The vote on it in the House was close 111 to 74. Most of those in favor of Farnsworth's motion are Democrats. The Republicans in the Senate are determined to keep the House here for the purpose of discussing The Condition of the Bonth in a party point of view. This is regarded as more important than repealing the duty on salt and coal. A large number of Senators are ready with speeches requiring two or three hours in delivering, and adjournment is as un certain now as it was at tbe beginning of the session. It is stated that there Is a fair pro3pect ot the Joint mil lomuiiaaiaa breaking up without coming to any agreement. The British Commissioners are not disposed to concede half as much as our commissioners were led to expect. On the contrary, they do not seem willing to go further than Lord Clarendon In the trei ty made by Reverdy Johnson, and which was defeated in the Senate. Of course the American Commissioners are aware that such a bargain would be repudiated by the Senate. . The President with Boutwcll, Robeson, and the Attorney General, are at the Capitol in conference with the Senate Committee on Southern Outrages and several members of the House. He is reading them a Special Itleaaaget which he proposes to send in on that subject, and conferring with them as to the best means to Suppress ihe Kn-klux.

Paris, March 22 EveniBg This evening a large number of returned prisoners reached the Rue de la Paix entrance to the Place Vendome, and appealed to the sentries to give way to their passage into the districts occupied by the insurgent National Guard. Tbe request was refused by the sentries, and the demonstrators thereupon unfurled the color of the Nationals and threatened to bayonet the flag bearer, and the crowd at once commenced to re tire. Baron Nathan then seized a flag and ex horted the crowd to advance against the Illegal force occupying the place. The order was obeyed, when the Nationals occupying the place beat their drums and fired in the air. The crowd retreating too Blowly, three ranks of the Nationals filed out from the main body and fired. There was A Terrlbla Soeno for five minutes, and then the crowd broke into terror-stricken retreat. At least thirty per sons were killed and wounded by the fire of the Guards.

Ihe Chair replied that, in tho way tbe debate bad nra. eeeded, be wonld accord to the Senator from Massachu setts the same license allowed to ot hers.
