Oliver —street partially deStroyed. The fire orig inated in the second story of the second house from the corner, which was occupied by William Pearce, and before:a,- was dis , covered the flames had nude sneh progress as to barely allow the Tamil yto escape with their lives. From this the, fire corn - mnnicated to <the adjoining house, oc cupied by Mr. Levake, which was - - also consumed ins few moments, - and from which none of the furniture or himsehOld goods were saved. By.this time a double brihk house on Oliver street, occupied by a Mr. Sankey, which adjoined, pie last men tioned anc“the' , frame house on . the corner, which was uneccupied, were both on fire, and in a feiv moments the 'lat ter was in ashes. -The itbrmer, not being of such inflammable material, did not-butn so rapidly,' in consequence of which the occupants Were enabled to remove South. portion .of - their '<furniture.' The Sale fire companies. and the Du quesne from this city were 071 the ground, and rpdered effective service. The build ings, we are informed, 'Were all owned lry Mr. John Finch, whose loss will not fail far short. of $15,000, on, which 'there is 'probably a full insurance. - Pierce and Mr. Leviiko will be the greatest. suffeters, , as their household goods and clothing were - . destroyed.

This is really doing a land- , orrice `liiituness. Pasties having iiroperty to dis pose of will be oonaulting their own interest by putting it under the charge of the above named tirin, at 55 and 57 Fifth street. The Pollee Uniform—Who Should Pay for 1 them t urge against the cost-of the Uniforms; but by the time they are furnished, three, months at leaSt of the' term for Which they are appointed, will have expired, leaVing them.,butoseven - months to serve, and should they be relieved from the force at the ex .piration of that time, the clothing will be of no account' to them. In addition to this, the cloth of which the uniforms are to lad made is of a finer quality, and - not so well adapted to tho rough usage a policeman's clothing is • sometimes' compelled to undergo, as goods they can purchase for less money. Many of the 'Men comprising _ the present force, have families entirely dependent upon their monthly pay for support, which is hardly sufficient for theurpose, and if they are required to give thirty-five, or forty &altars, of a month's salary for a new uniform, the remaining portion will be insufficient to meet the'wants of their families. It is asserted that if the policemen are not willing to pay for the Uniforms they can resign, as tbere are plenty of others willing to . accept the position .upon such terms. This, perhaps, is true; but are they. competent and reliable men? We doubt it; but admitting they are, would it be or is it just to impose upon these inert conditions not in, the original contract? When the men cOmprising the present pollee force were engaged it Was with an express under standing that the contract was for tire term of the'present Mayor, unless discharged for Misconduct, at a stipulated salary, and there beingi nothing Said in the agree ment relating to -Uniforms, it: was of course 'understoood that they fur nish their own ell:klieg, of a quality to suit their Own taste or • - con venience.' By accepting .• the conditions of this contract. and becoming membeisrof the police force, maw, of them have, doubt less, deprived themselves of opportunities to accept other situations, an d to discharge them from'the force now for refusing to purchase uniforms in accordance with an arbitrary rule *of the Police Committee, subjecting theiri to unforeseen expense, unprovided for in the contract with the city, would be anything but justice. Each officer should pay for his elcithing„ and they should all he uniformed; but the authorities have no right to violate the contract made with their appointees and compel' them to bear the ex pense of an improvement by which the ea izenS, and not themselves, are to be berie fitted. Why not adopt thei principle on which the Government clothes her soldiers? Allow them a stipulated amount per month for clothing and the authorities prescribe the.kind, - or furnish it, if they see proper. ' By adopting this, plan, the 'Mayor would have control of the uniforms, and if one man was earelesis and abused his clothes, could 'give him other and charge the cost to him, and by thiS means the uniforms would be better cared for, or kept in bett4r atin- Uition, 'and those who derive the benefit from the , improvement would have to pay for it. . . The objection 'urged against the cityjUr nishing the uniforms is the expense it will incur; but • those 'who urge it should re member ;that forty-five dollars is a LAW% greater expense on the' policeman.who has a familyto keep on his pay of two dollars per day, than forty-five hundred dollars • to the city of Pittsburgh, the wealth of,Which is counted by. Ups., I Body' Found—Coroner's Inquest. i -Friday evening the body' of an Unknown I • I Man was found .in the Ohio river, tt Brii not's Island; y twolrieti White' eressing the river in a skill., The deceased was about five feet ten inches high, and weighed about one hundred and ninety pounds; had black hair and was slightly bald; wore a goatee on the chin, and was apparently about forty years . of . age. , ',The body when .found was ' dressed - ma red and black barred country flannel shirt, black' and red barred vest, black cassimere coat and green barred pants, kip boets, newly fobted, a barred woolen Comfort. In the pocket was a, buckskin purse With steel clasp, containing, two ten cent notes and three coppers. e 'From ap pearances the body. had - lain. in the water three or four months.

Saturday evening, in omsequence of the extravagance of his wife,- who, ,ho alleges, -requires the enormous sum of five dollars per week to provide for herself, her hus band and a child. Having fully made up his mind not to submit to this extrava gance,,and not knowing how ,to pret , eM, it, he &Ode(' to reduce the _family one in numbig by taking a dose of poison. He aimordingly went round and bid his friends farewell on Friday evening, and on Satur day procured arsenic enough to kill six men, all of which be' Swallowed. A ,phy sician was sent for and an antidote prepared, but the determined man, refused to take it. A few Minutes later, however, he changed' his • determination, and was apparently as anxious to live as he had been to die. The antidote was taken and the man was saved. He was very foolish 'to waste so much 'ar senic. - Sudden Death—lnquest. Coroner Clawson held an Inquest yester day on the body of Callie Roth, an illegit imate son of Mary. Hartman, _ aged four months. The'mother was at the City Farm_ at the time the child was born, shortly af ter which she left there and went to Mount, Washington to reside with her sister. She remainedthere but a short time. however, and it appears returned to the Farm-on 'ac count of the ill-health of the child.. A few weeks ago she left there again and came to, the city, and has been living with a black woman, on Carpenter's alley, in the Sixth ward; where the child died very Sud denly yesterday morning. Dr. Ratten wa.s called to exandne the `body; and was, of opinion that the child had died of water on •tiaolarain. The jurrreturned a verdict of death from natural causes. , - =I Unmistakable evideneas of-an attempted burglary were visible Saturday morning at the store of S. Roodelheint it Co. The first attempt was about three o'clock, at a window in the rear of- the building, ..*ldeb, for some cause, was relinquished.. Thu second was at the front door, where they:doubtless would have . been Sudgersful had not'ene of the occupants of the room beard the noise and 'called the police, which frightened the thieves - away.' - They had, however, by the use of suezeeded in forcing the iron bar which holds the door on the inside from' its fastenings.' These rogues;lire a greater' annoyance than the men who sell goods by sample Without itcense, and we would raq=estlhat they receive like ellen tion from thepolice authorities.
