Destructive Fire in East
Three Buildingsßurned to Ashes and one

A disastrous fire occurred in East Bir-
mingham about eight o'clock la.st.pvening,
by which three frame house:4, at tlie - poiner
of Oliver and Sarahstreets, Were totally con-
snored, as was also the ftirniture,household

`liiituness. Pasties having iiroperty to dis

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

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

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

With greatly enlarged facilities, new ma

'
pared to meet promptly all demands for
work- made upon . him. He furnishes
teeth which Imo' nature and can

worthy the attention of the eeoriornical, be
