Tlie members of the committee who took part were Messrs. Bchuin, Everts, Frlteh, Cres bach and "Ebermiin. They were neeom neeem pnnled en their trip- by Mayer Edgorley, Dr. II. F. Ebcrninn, clerk of the committee, Dr. U. F. Grefl', veterinary of tlie depart ment horses, Chief Engineer Vendcrsmllh nnd an Intei.meencfii roierter. All tlie engine houses nnd apparatus were thoroughly Irispcctcd by the com mittee. The cleanly manner in which the horses nre kept, the cxcoUciit-ceiidltloii in which the apparatus 1m, reflects great credit en the fire department. The members of each company appears te via with each ether in friendly rivalry in keeping things in order nnd making improvement, and the result Ib four as flne ongine houses nnd tire, engines as can be found in most cities in the country. The committed appeared te approcinte tlie work of the men. Tliere nre Mill re pairs and additions needed, which when doue will add te the value of the Are de partment preperty and elliclency of the de partment. The additions and Improve ments petitioned for en Tuesday were granted by the rnmmittce ns far as was in their power. Tlie mere important and these involving nil outlay of considerable money will be referred te councils for their action, with the faverable recommen dation of the committee. bltOUM) IIAVl! 1'OUU C1I1CUITN. The tlrst place visited wan tlie battery room, en tlie second fleer of the station house. Chief Vendersnilth explained the workings of this branch of the lire demrt- iiieutnud mndenn important recemmen datien. He said the city is the owner of fifteen nilles of wire nil en ene circuit and wlien n storm occurs ei n wire in anv part of the city is displaced that ends sounding nn alarm until the Irouble is remedied. If tliore is a storm nt night or an accident it cannot lm located until the next day. He said the danger could be oveicomo in a great measure by having four clicuits. He recommended a division of the city In four district", taking (inn of each of the old four winds as a district. If there is a break down or accidpnt in one of these districts, the rcnriiuiug tiireewlll beiu order. It will net then be dilllciilt te locate trouble Xew tenieh tlirengli the greater part of the Icity is necessary frequently bofero the troubie is found and removed. The only lrawbaek te the proposed system was the cost, but that would net be heavy and only be for poles and a "repeater," nnd in his judgment the change would pay the city ecausothero would be greater safety tothe Jtlzcns. He did net think there was another city in the United States with fifteen miles of tire alarm and ene circuit only. The committee took no deflnite action, but ut a future meeting will consider the advisability of making tlie cliimge sug gested te councils. TIllV HSOI.NK HOUsKS.

The Mone Is i mu niiibiue en me west muu et Uas run tlie old iklioenberger iwrk und the Mone 234. of a wall near by was said te have liccn quarried there. While looking at this wall the wind gave an emphatic. warning that it was high tlme te seek shelter from the coming storm, and In an unsavory second story room of the old house the wrty took refuge. Here the storm found them nnd after inspecting the hnll and the pouring rain they were treated te a grand review of the sewage of Lancaster. Uas run became a raging torrent. It rese within its stone walled banks at the rate of at least three Inches perjiiitnite. Stone after stene wa submerged until the very brim wns passed, nnd water rushed in great waves against the trees that grew en the margin. The feet brldge en which the expedition crossed the stream was far underwater, nnd planks and ether debris leld of small dninage somewhere up the stream. V'lsltlNO Feil I1ASK 1ULLS. A man walked out from the gas works in the pouring rain, armed with n long pole with a small net en the end of It. He took position en the edge of the torrent and kept his net ready and his eyes flxed en the wnter. Occasionally he would mnke a dip with tlie net and once he brought up some thing. Tliore was much speculation as te what this lene fisherman could be after. When the storm was ever he wns Inter viewed and declared that lie was Ashing for base balls, but had only caught ene, as sevcral nice ones went by out of teach. Hundreds of the base balls of the small boys of Lancaster are lest by roiling down the Howerepenings,and the lene fisherman nt tlie gas works has been keen enough te obscrve that a heavy storm washes them down (las run. Lancaster new has the champion combination base ball and llsh story. 8he can brag of a man he llshcs for base balls. The, expedition next proceeded te the quarry of the Carpcnier cstute, out Ilock Ileck lniid street, wliere the quantity of stene available does net appear te be large. Cressing the creek by the Old Factory brldge they turned through a gate te the left anddreve ever the lands of II. Hechteld te his quarries along the Conestoga, oppo site tlie old city water works. Here tliore seemed te be stene of various kinds, someory hard, but the party were Im pressed with Its distance from town. Un less tlie old und rickety bridge back of tlie peer house could be used, and the stene hauled through the peer liouse grounds, the haul te town would be a very long ene. The large quarry below the peer liouse was next inspected. A mass of slate runs through tlie contre, though tliore seems te be geed stone here. Tlie expedition then set out for Mr. McUrann's quarries MP. M'.lllVNN'H HIHHIKMTION. The old quarries en tlie Malone property attracted passing notice from their faverable location and tlie apcirnnce of the stene. Passing the new water works tlie party noted the line effect of the grading and gardening around this famous mud raising works. At tlie Mefl rami quarry, te the left of the read as yen drive north, the party found a flne mass of hard and brittle stone lying in immense blocks. It is also n long way from town, but the part seemed niore favorably Impressed with tills quarry than with any ether. On issing Mr. McOmnn'sen the way home they met that gentleman and teceived his assurnnce that they could have seme of the stene te try in the crusher, and that he was ready te negetiate for its use en the streets. He suggnsted that It would be well te pave sections of street with stone from various quarries and se determine which was the best for the purpose The return of the expedition was as cheerful as the departure. MALIKTOA TO HUTUltX. Germany Consents te His Itestoratleu te the Sanienn Throne. The special correspondent of the Asso ciated Press in licrlin was informed Tues day evening that Germany has finally con sented te restore King Malietea. ' Tills action was taken finally after prolonged and persistent cH'erls en the mrt of tlie American commissioners. lint new comes another hitch in the negotiations. This fresh dltllculty grows out of the claim for indemnity made by Germany. The Americau sectien of the conference holds that if any indemnity is paid It must be a merely nominal sum. 'ei many, en the contrary, maintains that in the conflicts between llie German forces and Sameaiis the latter were invariably the nggressers. fSesides, the native partisans of King Malietea were guilty of the barbarous prac tices of beheading German sailors, as well as inflicting upon the wounded particular cruelties. Tliose acts, Germany insists, should entail upon Samoa tlie payment of special Indemnity. Earnest elibrts are making in comniittee te settle the dispute, but the matter is very likely te require a reforence te tlie plenary conference. ' Frem certain indications at tlie rooms of tlie American do'.egates, as well as ut the quarters of the English commissioners and nt the German foreign elllce, it was evident all day that there was some serious hitch in the negotiations of the .Sameaii com mis sion. Mr. Phelps, who is known as tlie " peacemaker" both in the conference and In the working comniittee. was in evident trouble. First lie wns interviewing nn English commissioner in his own rooms. Then he hurried off te the foreign olllce, where he remained for sonie time closeted with tlie German representatives, and then repeating the process. When asked as te the situation Commissioners Phelps, Kas son and Hates said that there was no great change, and tiiat everything was progress ing satisfactorily. Beth the German and English commissioners refused te tulk en the subject. As far as can be learned the department of state at Washington has net vet been eliicially advised of the roimrted "hitch In the Saiuean conference. Prominent otll etll cials of tlie department when approached flatly declined te say anything als-iut llie matter, as in their view the discussion of a subject under negotiation would violate, diplomatic proprieties. Doubtless the United .States representatives have breached the subject of the restoration of Malietea, as their instructions were presumably cel. ered by the debates In the last Congress taking this stand, but just hew fur they are instructed le persist in their contention cannot be learned.

The Heys or the Whtte Mone City Are Given a Few Point In the No tional Game Had Umpiring There ia no doubt that the Lancaster club Is putting up a great game of ball nt the present time. Yesterday the team went te Yerk and strengthened their grip en second place by taking a game from the club which lias been contesting with them very closely in the race. The Xnncnstcr people presented Carrell as their pitcher, while Kcffer filled the same position for the home tenm. Deth pitchers were hit rather hard, but Carrell had the best of It. Tlie Lancaster also did the better Helding and outran tlie home team en the bases. The Yerk tenm appeared In new suits and the people of that city scorned te think that they are their Jenahs. The umpiring was bad because the man that tilled the position knew no better nnd he presented the home club with two runs. About the truth of the umpiring of the Mlddle Stales Leaguo nt present Is that Lancaster is the only city from which thefe is no canse for complaint by visiting club?.

Speaking of tlie game in Yerk yesterday the Dully says : The Yerk boys denned their new suits of light gray flannel yester day and made a spruce appenmnce en the field. Lancaster came en the grounds in a natty uniform of deeper gray nnd over shadowed our boys lit overy wny. Lan caster can tench them hew te run bases, two points in the game in which our boys arowefully delicleut. With ene or two exceptions they seem te think the bags nre made te stand en, or ns geed places te step and think when they happen te reaeli them. When a ball Is liclded each player hugs his base as if lie was afraid it would skip the greuud If he left It te back up another position. Lancaster, Harrisburg and Trenten don't play ball in that way. One of tlie greatest attractions of tlie sea son in Lancaster will be the Cuban Giants who will play here en Friday and Satur day. The batting erder for the first game will be: G. Williams, 3b; Themas, e; Grunt, i!b; Harrison, s. s.; Frye, lb j Boyd, c. Cj Solden, 1. f.j Malone, r. f.; Wliyte, p. A band will be secured te give concerts during the game. The Yerk club was te have given tlie Lancaster n lessen in playing base ball yesterday, but they have osteiiod It until te-morrow j meuuwlille Lancaster holds a tight grip en secend place. Tliore nre many peeple who think Gib Gib eon and Carrell n battery that can rank with nny of them, and they nre net away oil". The present club Is probably the strongest that Ijincaster has ever had, taking it through and through. Jletsnre even that LmeaMer gets one of the games from the Cubans. The Yerk club has a tough gang in their nine, and the managers of tlie dillercut clubs say their only equals nre sonie of the people who attend the games. Strange umpires may scttie this rewdyism, although sonie of tlie people shoiild'be In jail for their bad conduct. Manager Council, who has been In Phila delphia attending the schedule meeting, arrived in town tills afternoon and left at ence for Yerk te join tlie Lancaster club.

What a Docter Snya. Dr. W. IS. Carpenter says In his "Phvl "Phvl "Phvl olegy": "It Is quite certain that an appar ent cessation of all the vital functions may take place without thnt entire less of vital ity which Would leave the organism In the condition of n dead body liable totie speed ily disintegrated by the operation or chem ical and physical agencies." it is also ap parently a fact that Kiich "apparent cessa tion oraflthe vital functiens'1 may continue for an indefinite period when the right conditions exist. Thebest known Illustra tion of this Is the case or the Fakir of I.aliere, who was burled for six weeks, nt the Instance or Hurdect Singh, ns nttosted by Sir Claude Wade, the British resident at the court of Loedhlatia, in 1837. Ia this thoroughly authenticated case which, however, is but ene or n class or similar facts known te Angle-Indians and travellers the Fakir wns ilrst put Inte u linen bag, the bag was placed in a wooden box, fastened with a padlock, the wooden box was dopeslted in a cell in tlie middle of n squnre uiick vault, every aperture of which but ene was bricked up, while the remaining deer was built up with mud nbove tlie lock, nnd fastened with the Hajari's seal. As a final precaution, n com pany or soldiers were detailed te guard the vault day and night, four sentries constant ly patrolling Its four sides during the whole period. When, at the expiration or six weeks, the. fault and tlie box were successively opened, Sir CInude Wade, who, with ltunject Singh, had entered the building, and taken their placosclesototho body, sons te see overythlng, tliis Is whnt npioared before them: " The servnnt then began pouring wnrm wnter ever tlie figure ; but ns my object wns te sce If nny l'raudti- llllll tlll..f I...IU .....ll.l I.M rlnlA.lln.1 T .. a... . ... . -.l wv ...,.iii.r.,yiJiii iruutiinTi.

Thulegsand arms ofthe body were shrivelled and stiff, the (iicn Hull. Ihn head reclining en tliv shoulder like that of acorpse. l men called te the medical gentleman who was attending me te ceiun down and ins)ect tlie body, which he did, but could discover no pulsation in tlie heart, the temples, or the aim. Tliere was. however, a heat about the region or the brain, which no oilier part of the body exhibited. J "The servant then recommended bath ing him with het water, and gradually re laxing his arms and legs from the rigid stnte in which they were contracted, ltun ject Singh taking his right nndl his left leg. te aid by friction in restoring them te their proper notion ; during which tlme the servant placed a het wlieaten enke, nbeut nn inch thick, en the top of his head a process which no iwice or innce reneweu. He then pulled out of his nostrils nnd ears the wax and cotton with which they were stepped ; and after great exertion ojcnel Ids mouth by inserting tlie point of a knlfe between his teeth, and, while holding his jaws open with his left hand, drew the tongue forward with his right In the course or which the tongue flew back several times te itHcurved position upward, in which it had originally been, se ns te clese the gullet. He then rubbed his eyelids with, ghce (or clarified buttery Ter seme seconds, until he succeeded in opening them, when the eyes appoared qulie mo tionless and glazed. Alter tlie cake lind been applied for tlie third time te the top or bin head, his body wns violently con vulsed, the nostrils became inflated, respi ration ensued, nnd the limbs began te us us sunien natural fulness; but the pulsation was still faintly perceptible Tlie servant" then put seme of the ghce en ills tengue, and made him swallow it. A few minutes nftcrwcid the eyeballs became dilated, and recovered their natural color, when the Fakir, recognizing ltunject Singh sitting clese te lilm, nrticiil'trcl 'In a low, sepul chral lone, scarcely jiudlble, "De you bo be bo llevo me new?" lMfect Singh replied In the afliriiiativc,aud invested tlie Fakir with a pearl necklace and siijhtIi pair of geld bracelets, and pieces of muslin nnd silk, nnd shawls forming what is called a klielat, such as Is usually conferred by tlie Prin cess of India en persons of distinction. Frem the tiine of the box being opened, te the recovery of tlie voice, net mere tllnii half an hour could have elapsed; and in another half I our the Fakir talked with my self and tliose about him fieely, though feebly, llke a sick iKm.en ; and we thou left him, convinced that there had been no fraud or collusion In the exhibition we had witnessed." Tills case, se circumstantially narrated und se strongly authenticated," does net stand uloiie. Anether case is recorded by Lieutenant Boileau, in which a man had becn buried for ten days in a grave lined with masonry and covered wlte large slates of stone, and stilctly gunidcd; und the subject told Lieutenant Boileau that he was ready te submit te an interment of a twelve months' duration, if desired. In all these cases the appearauee of the body when disinterred is described as being quite cornse - llke, and no pulsation could be detected tit tlie bend or at the arteries. It may well lie asked, in view or such possibilities or suspended animation, hew physicians can lie positive that deatli lias occurred in cases or catalepsy or france by any ether Indication than Unit or dccoinesltioii. Dr. CarM'iitcr asserts thnt "n large proportion" or "llie signs commonly relied upon by which real is ceitnlnly distinguishable from apparent death " are "fallacious," nnd he concludes that "the most satisfactory pioef" of deatli " is given by the occurrence of putrefac tion." "Xe reliance," lie says, "is te be placed upon the apparent cessation of the heart's action mid of the respiratory move ments; since the reduction of these te se low a condition that they nre no longer dis tinguishable Is by no means Incompatible with the insistence of vitality."
