Volunteer and Paid Wire DeOirtments.
PHI L ADELPHIA, July 11th,. 1870.--. Editor of
the Bulletin: A Philadelphian returning to
-his home after an absence of many years dis
covers to his surprise, and, I may say, mortifi
cation, that among all the changes and im
, .
p7ovements Nhich have taken place in a •pe.
riod of fifteen years, the curse of the city; and
relic of barbarism, if the term can be used,-
the Voltinteet Fire Department, is permitted
to remain a disgrace, as it nearly always has
been, and certainly always will be, to this city
of so.called Brotherly Love. -In this' respect,
Phiradelphia-Jay Irehind the
_age-. 7 .has re
rained : at a staod:stifi; she has not cared to
profit by the-, - experience of other cities, and
has allowed her good name to suffer by per
mitting to exist in her midst an organization
that will, - during - existence, be produc
tive of no good, and only remain a fruitful
source of much evil.
--- It fa a fact beyond all doubt that the Voltin
leer Fire Department of this city is a most
successful 7 college that appertaitis - to
vice and iinmorality. Very many of its grad
uates haveturned'out iteundrele of the first
water, as the records of our courts will show,
and the evidence given in ILlate trial in the
Court of QUarter Sessions indicates the amount
of villan that some of thefre„slitztan_classare-__
capable of. - There his been finhetter feeder for
our County Prison-and--Eastern--Penitentiary
than our fire departmentas it now_ie;land RO
long as the youth of this city are permitted to
join as members, and become followers of the
different companies that compose the depart
merit, so long will 4,his-outragetiiisoondition of
. .
affairs con ilim.
As at present organized, incendiarism must
remain at a premium and destructive fires be
the - rule. Many of our firemen volunteer not
only to extinguish fires, but to create them ;
theyjoin an engine or hose company not so
much for duty—for - which - they Teceive no
compensation—as for • the fun of a run, a race
or a tight. either or all of which they consider
sufficient remuneration for any loss of time or
personal discomfort ; and the bangers-on, the
icafers, who are -to' be found lounging - about
the houses of the different coriipanies t or in the
liar-rooms adjacent thereto, and who have no
other apparent occupation—these, as a clasS,
are bent upon mischief, and ; in a majority of
eases, when a fire ,occurs which- the Marshal
knows to have been the work of an incendi
ary, itWould be found,-if traced to its source,
to be the work of the. lss above referred to.
_,With a _knowledge of _this state of affairs, how
that our Insurance Companies
will take any risk except at exorbitant rates?
Have they not the power to make a change ?
Is not the remedy with them? - -
For comparison's sake let us--look-at-our Fire
Department (that of one of the oldest cities of.
the Union) i nnii.. compare it with that of - San
Francisco, the youbgeit. The latter city has.
fewer engines, nose carriages and . hook and •
Wider companies in proportion-tons mapulai.
I ion, extent of ground covered by buildings,.
anti the inflammable nature Of material with
which it is constructed, than Philadelphia,
and yet fires ofa serious character seldom oc
cur—never, when the alarm is given to the
central station promptly. When an alarm is
sounded the entire department proceedsla,the-.
locality from which ft haebeen turned.in, _with
no more noise or confusion than made by ordi-..
nary carriages or carts moving through the
streets. All
_the. machines are drawn by
horses ; there 'no crowd of and boys
_dragging-them,. urged-on-by-the• hideous- noise.
of one or more trumpets ; no rush of a crowd
along the sidewalks, accompanying their
favorite machine ; no yelling and shouting as
if a regiment of fiends had been turned loose,
and no fighting wherein pistols, knives, stones,
etc., are freely used. No, everything is quiet,
systematic and orderly.
When the scene of the conflagration is
reached, the chief takes command, and all the
work is under the direction of hiniself -and
assistants; the ground is kept clear by an
efficient police, and every movement is car
ried on with a perfect system like the drill of
a regiment of the Regular Army ; indeed, So
pertect is the San Yrancisco department in
point of discipline; that the Chief of the Lon
don Fire Brigade, who inspected it last year,
pronthiriced it unequaled. There is no .more.
water used than absolutely necessary; build
ings are not flooded—drowned out—after the
tire is extinguished,- causing--more loss and
damage to property than has been occasioned
by the flames. No, - the -duty of:- the depart
merit has been done—well done—to the satis
faction of the public and the insurance com
panies, and the, machines return to their
several houses witbout those having them in
charge amusing themselves with• a brick-bat
argument as to who had taken the nearest
plug or throw.n a stream of water to the
greatest distance. " .
When there is no fire, visit - the different
houses. There you find the machines in °per
fect order; the horses in tin-top' condition,
harnessed, ready to be attached at the first
sound of the bell; the regular attaches of the
company always at their posts—quiet, orderly,
and looking like regular firemen. There are,
DO loafers ; no bangers-on—men who bear
upon their countenances the mark of rascality,
and who are ever ready to make a fire, if one
• cannot be had in a legitimate manner. Noth
ing of this kind is to be seen, and you walk
away, after a close inspection of everything,
and feel satisfied that San Francisco is as sate
as a city can be from the chances of adevastat
ing conflagration:
For wh.at ourfire departmentis Ican merely
refer to the columns of to-day's papers. There
you will find almost the daily-story of riot and
disorder, and so it must and will continue
while the present volunteer department is per
mitted. Will Philadelphia much longer sub- •
mit to it ? Will her citizens much - longer al
low the disgraceful scenes that are witnessed
almost daily in every part of the city? They
have it in their power to make a change and
to insist upon a paid fire department that will
render life and property much more safe than
it is at present,

THE LAST WOMAN GRADUATE OF THE
-.- PARIS BLEDIVAL SCHOOL.
We translate front a French paper
This week's lioness is Miss Garrett, doctor
of medicine of the faculty 'of Paris. Miss Gar
rett is an American ; she speaks French witlian
accent that islexcessively amusing, but chooses
her termb in our language with great felicity.
Mr. Duruy, Minister of Public Instruction,
did not look with a favorable: eye on the in
scription of a lady's name among those of the
students. The faculty also were hostile to the
young American girl. She persisted energetic
ally, and in due time presented herself for ex
amination.
Miss Garrett attended the session in the robe
of a medical student, holding in her hand her
college cap. The subject she chose for her
thesiS was : Hathiache,, its causes and means of
cure. It would have been

all these gentlemen, as much for her real merit
as for her,,energy in conquering the, opposition

On first presenting herself, she - was apprised
that - the examining board was committed to
an extreme severity and to the most absolute
impartiality ht the examinations for the medh
cal degree, and that her sex would be for

examination, and a large crowd of students,
as much in sympathy as in curiosity, chose to

A DASSACHLNETTS SCANDAL.
Excitement in 'Randolph, Moss.--A Bang
Cashier Elopes with Ills Neighbor's
Wife.
The Boston Transcript has the following:
A. slight ripple - tvas caused on the surface of
Randolph society when it became known on
Friday morning that on the day previous a
well-known_and Idghly_respected citizen had
mystmionsly disap eared from town, together
with the young wife of another citizen who
moved in a respectable circle. As the parties'
nameswere hawked from lip to ear through the
usually quiet community, the ripple increased
to a wave, and the fact that-the male .eloper
held a high position ir. the only bank in the
place led the tnoneyedinterest to look sharply
into the affairs of the institution, fearful that a
defalcation, the natural- outgrowth of such
affairs, might prove a reality-in this case. '
The facts, so far as we have been able to
hastily gather them from trustworthy sources,
are these: On Thursday morning, air. Henry
Stephens, the cashier of the Randolph Na
tional Bank s -came to Boston on the. Newport
train c in company -with-his-Wife, ostensibly 'to -
'elect carpets for a new house he was about
to furnish. Leaving Mrs. Stephens at the car
-pet dealer's to pursue her inquiries -and-make
her choice, he made an excuse of down-town
business of more - or - less - urgency and departed. -
On the same day, Mrs. Moulton, the young
and esteemed wife of Mr. E. Moulton, Jr.,also
left Randolph, in company with her two very
young children, for Boston, ona later train,
however. She remained over one train at
Braintree, the place of her nativity, and left
her children with her relatives, stating that
-he intended to do a little shopping in the city,
and proceeded there.
This is the last seen or heard of either party
by their friends or acquaintances, and previous
circumstances, including slight familiarities
of manner and speech in which both had
been seen to indulge in each other's company,
lead to the strongest suspicions bf their unlaw
tol joint disappearance.
The gentleman is of line personal presence,
a bout forty years of age, and has been em
ployed in various capacities in the bank from
boybood, serving in • the capacity of cashier
for the past twelve years. -- 116 - Ints lieett con.
,idered perfectly trustworthy in every regard,
and , the officers of the Randolph and its
associate banks have had the highest faith in
his integrity. He has been married ten years,
and to all outward appearance has lived in
accord with his wife, by whom he has two in
teresting children.
Up to this morning, a searching inquiry into
the accounts of the bank have failed to elicit
the shadow of an irregularity ; but when the
property and securities,.of the depositors are
reached, there is no predicting the result of the
investigation.
The unfaithful lady is but twenty-five years
old, sai.d has, been married between two and
three years. Her • maiden name was Libby,
aud, as before stated, she came from Brain
tree. One of her children is a mere infant.
She is the opposite of her recusant partner in
personal appearance, being quite plain, though
her manner is agreeable and her education
well up to the New England standard. She
has gained some reputation as a soprano
singer.
The direction in which the guilty pair have
gone to enjoy each other's society away from
the reach of-the moletting arm of the law is
of course mere matter of conjecture; but the
quiet hints thrown out by the wise ones of the
busy little town that they have gone on a Eu
ropean trip, are not at all improbable, as
steamers leave New York every day to cross
the broad Atlaptic. Though neither of the
parties have the reputation of being over
burdened with this world's goods or filthy
lucre, they undoubtedly have the wherewithal
for an agreeable sojourn over the water.
Escapades of this nature are of 'so frequent
occurrence in the aggregate that they are
viewed lightly by the general public. This
case cannot but cause a feeling of sincere
sympathy for the father, mother and infant
children who have been left behind, to realize
in the future the manner of their parents' de
parture in a light that must strike them as
being even worse than death ; and the mourn
ful effect the sad occurrence has caused in
families of high repute will be regretted by
every sincere observer of the thoughts and
feelings of individuals who move in worthy
circles
—Dr. Russell, an .American, and married in
Ohio, has been divorced in London, entirely
on his own representations, and without the
appearance of his wife or the correspondent.
Now is a chance for the Chicago press tocome
out strong on the laxity of. English law in re
spect to marriage.

An Impressive Scene In the Chapel of
Slag Henry VII.
IFrom the London Them]
It may be interesting to recall a scene which
was briefly. noticed in the columns of the
Times as having occurred during the past
week, and which gives - a pleasing augury for
a better feeling between the contending fac
tions of church and state. We refer to the
participation in the Holy Communion by the
Company of the Revisers of the Authorized
Version of the New Testament, which oc
curred in Henry Vll.'s Chapel,in Westminster
Abbey, preparatory to their entrance on their
important work. A notice had been issued to
each of the body to the effect that the - sacra
_mentwould be administered there tnt-the day
of their first meeting to such of the body as
should feel disposed to attend. Some few
were prevented from appearing; but at
the hour named as many as twenty presented
themselves, and were placed 4n_the_ ancient
stalls ofthe chapel. No one else assisted. The
dean read the service from the communion
table at the head of Henry Vll.'s tomb. It so
happened that this table thus received its first
use. It had within a few days past replaced a
temporary tab/e, having, as the inscription_
round it records, been erected in the place of
the ancient altar which once indicated the
spot where Edward-VI. waa buried, probably ,
to meet the wishes of his sister Mary, and had
been destroyed by the Puritans in the civil
war. On the marble slab, which covers •He top
is placed the fragment of the beautifully
carved frieze of the lost altar, found unex
pecterilylast-year-irr-Edward-Vl.'s-gravWto=-
gether with other fragments of ruined altars
which happened to beat hand for alike
pose. In front of this table, thus its:
monument of the extinet strifes of former days,
and round the grave of theyouthful Protestant
king, in whose reign the English Bible first
received its acknowledged place in the coro
nation of- the sovereign; as well as - iter fre e arid:
general circulation throughout the people,
knelt together the band of scholars and divines, -
consisting of almost every form of Christian
belief in England. There were bishops of the
Established Church, two of them by their ven
erable years connected with the past genera
tion;, there were the representatives of our-.
historic historic cathedrals and collegiate churches, of
our learned universities, of our laborious
parochial charges, and of our chief ecclesias
tical convocation • and with these, intermin
gled without distiiictionovere ministers of the
Established Church and of the Free Church
of Scotland, and of almost every noncon
formist church in England—lndependent,
Baptist, Wesleyan. Unitarian.- It is not
to be supposed that each one of those present
agreement with equal agreeent into every part
of the service ; but it -is surely not without a
hopeful significance that neither on the side of
the church nor with nonconformity was there
any " _religious difficulty". raised as to - a'joint
participation on such an occasion in most
Venerable and sacred ordinance of the Chris
tian religion. The Chapel of Henry VII. has
Witnessed many famous sights, more august
and more stirring—the funerals of kings and
princes, of noble.s, generals, and statesmen;
the debates of the Westminster Assembly and
of the convocations of the English Church;
the installation' of the Knights of the Bath,
whose banners wave from the roof, and whose
swords.were deposited-beneath the altar raised
on that spot. But it may be, doubted whether
scene it has ever been the of an event so
fraught, if rightly considered, with possibili
ties of kindly intercourse between jarring fac
tions; and pacific solution of warring pro
blems, as that•whichhappened, silent and un
...,Ltserved, on the 22d-of June.
TwO Firemen - Killed e aid

- The - St: Louis Dimojrat says :
At fifteen minutes before two o'clock this
morning this city was visited by another dis
astrous fire, by which the freight 'depot of the
St. Louis, Vandalia and Terra Haute and the
St. Louis and Chicago Railroad was, with its
contents, entirely destroyed. * .
The warehouse was located on South Sec
ond street, Nos. 312 and 314. It was a large
one-story brick building with a two-story
frame and extended back to. the alley. It con
tained freight, which from information so far
received, is believed to have been worth about
oily thousand dollars. The freight consisted
mainly of hides, flour, whisky, hemp, bagging,
machinery, &c.
The fire was first discovered by the private
watchman, John Heffernan, who says he saiv
as light on the roof, and ascending to the
:•econd-story, over the office, he saw' two tall
risen, dressed in dark clothes throw_ a Ifia4ing
WTI - throb — A the Skylight into the hemp pile
below. The flames shot forth so rapidly that
his exit by the, stairs was cut off, and he was
obliged to jump from the second-story window
to the pavement below in order to save his
life.
The engines promptly arrived and prevented
the spread of the flames. The damage done
the adjoining buildings was very slight.
While the flames were raging fiercest, the
front wall of the warehouse fell and crushed
two of the firemen beneath the ruins.
The other firemen worked like Trojans, and
ucceeded in taking them from the mass of
bricks and timber in a few minutes. They
were found to be still alive, although terribly
crushed and mangled, and bleeding profusely
from cuts on the head and face. The character
of their injuries was not ascertained last night,
as Chief sexton had them immediately placed
on bedding in" carriages and taken home. It
hardly seems possible, however, that they
could be buried in such a mass and recover.,
The names of the injured men are Isaac-Smith
and Adam Wirth. They are both pipemen of
the Deluge engine.
Owing to the lateness of the hour, the insuy7

by some one living on Second street, in the ad

Constable Fletcher, yesterday, arrested
James Booth, of New ,Castle, on a warrant
issued by Esq. Silver,of this city, for threaten

two colored women living at -New Castle.
The complainants' testimony was that Booth
had publicly declared that he had killed Jane
Smith's father, and he would kill her or some
other of the family. He made similar threats
against Lucretia Maxfield. lie was held in
$5OO bail in each case for appearance at
Court, and was - committed to jail in default of
surety.
Booth had previously a hearing before Esq.
Vandever, of New Castle, for assaulting Jane
Smith in a violent manner, knocking her
down, &c.,.and was fined by that astute and

reasonably considered was a very moderate
charge for his-enjoyment. • •

—Two Pointe Not Clear.
PROVIDENCE, July 10.—The late excitement
created in this community by the mysterious
disappearance and the finding under circum
stances which strongly pointed to murder the
body of William P.-Angell,- of North Provi
dence, last winter, followed by a long and to
dious inquest, is again revived by the arrest of
the Angell family, with the exception of the
daughter Ellen, and the arrest of Fagan, the
Irish laborer employed on the farm at the time
of the disappearance. Public opinion has re.
unlined the same as during the 'guest—that
Mr. - Angell same to hisdatif OWE - house,
and by bands of inmates or his family. The
inquest, unfortunately for the anxious public,
failed to bring out any evidence sufficient to
guarantee an indictment against any of the
suspected parties. When Angell's body wa4
taken from the reservoir where it was found
there were

visible and several holes in the flesh, which
at the time were thought to have been caused
by pistol - shots. - The- examining surgeons
failed to find any bullets, and on the proba
bility of the wounds having .been made by
stabs from some sharp instrument they came to
very indefinite and unsatisfactory conclusions.
The fact of Mr: Angell having beenseen on
the night of the alleged murder within a half

and-it is_upon the facts in- connection- with
these uncertainties that parties •who have

to work. The interestedness is caused no
doubt by the rewards °tiered for the arrest

as the parties were ordered to the city to be
imprisoned last night. However, B.on. Ed
ward P. Knowles, an ex-Mayor, and brother
in-law to Mrs. Angell, secured the release of
Mrs. Angell and William on bonds of $7,000,
for their appearance for examination one
week from to-morrow. Daniel is to be released
in the same way to-morrow, while Fagan is to
lie in jail. Ambrose Johnson, a negro, who
I ormerly* lived in the Angell family, and who
came near losing his life at the bands of the
oldest son, is still at large. He is thought to
Know Something of the Murder,
and•the parties interested in ferretingt ou the
murderers will, to use a detective's phrase,
endeavor to make Fagan seneal and induce
Ambrose to turn - State . e. evidence. The two
points heretofore alluded to are in connection
with the whereabouts of the son William on
the night of the murder, and whether Mr.
Angell - on that night bad on his person a cer
tain watch. lt is claimed_that_the_evidence
has been gathered so complete that the surd
conviction of Mrs. Angell, her sons,
and Fagan will be the result of the trial, but
several officers familiar with the facts in'ecin
nection with• the finding of Angell and
the inquest following think that the present
arrest is a black-mail arrangement. Mr.
Brown, it is said, has often figured as a go
between criminals and the law. Had the
town council ordered the arrest for the pur
pose of again sounding Fagan and Ambros.e,.
the affair - would appear differently. Mr.
Brown is very reticent, but says he has con
victing evidence. Of course the public are
anximply awaiting the result. That Wm. P.
Angell was murdered, the community has not
the shadow of a doubt, and the authorities and
people will only be too glad to have the mat
ter decided as to who did it.—World.
