171sit_of Inspeetlen-The Condition Of the
Department—What It .Needs-'What is
Proposed—Teetlng the Fire Alarm, Ace
In accordance with the call of the Chair
man, Mr. John Megraw, the members of
the Committee on Erigines, of the Alleghe
ny Councils, assembled yesterday after
noon, at City , Hall, for the purpose of
- making a tour of inspection of the Fire
Department. The Committee, accompanied
by. Chief Engineer Ciow, Superintendent ,
McCandless; and the representatives of the
• pressi started on their rounds at two
o'clo k, in a conveyance provided for their
accoUcimodation-.
The first place visitel was the office of
he
Located on the third floor of the City
Buildings. Under the direction and guict ,
anco of Superintendent McCandless, a thor
ough examination of the batteries, gongs,
wires, dr.c., ,te., iu the , alllce' was made,
andethe line found to be in excellent work
ing older, answering every test applied 'in
the moat satisfactory manner. When first
constructed there, was, attached to. the
striking gong in this centrnloffice a second
appdlt,_ us or "repeater," . which was in.
tende to repeat every alarm, thus avoid
ing any possible mistake. .The."repeatar,"
however, never seemed to ;work well, and
after severattests was abandoned. It still
remains in %the office, but, the contractors
Who brifit the telegraph have thel;
willingness to'eichange it for Et. new one,
guaranteed to performthe work properly,
or return the money paid for it. No dism,
sition of the apparatus, has, been made as
'yeti, but it id proliable tbht the 'Committee
will accept the first offer of ' the contractors:
The line is at predent liable to be thrown
out, otorder , entirely, should an accident
'acorn to any part of it: ''With a proper "re
peater," however, this would , not be.the
case, that portion of the line broken, only
being for the time useless. The advantages
of a good "repeater"; ate thus easily seen.
The duties of the Superintendent would
be lessened considerably; if the hne, as
originally constructed, could be made to
work well. The Committee, after satisfy=
ing themselves in regard toll° Alarm Tel
egraph, neat proceeded to the house of the
Velocipede is
of E. Honstiin
lstablißlunent,
Steam Fire Engin° Company, at the foot of
Marion avenue, in the First ward, and
spent some time in an examination of the
premises. The engine was in good work-
ing Order and ready for action. The Com
pany own three horses, two of which are
lint class animals.. The other, though a
good horse, is rather old for the service;
and should be replaced by a'younger and,
more active animal. They,Were all in good
condition, and gave •evidence of care in'
keeping.
In examining the house it was found that
the Company were deficient In sleeping ac
comodations for the members staying du
ring the night. At least • five new bunks
are heeded, with appropriate fittings. The
Committee made a = note of this want and
intend providing for it as soon as possible.
The Committee wore also of the opinion
that the house used by the Company was
located in an unsuitable
itable place. Situated at
the foot of a.steep grade, it is a hard:matter
sometimes,,when a fire occurs In the upper
:part of town, to get the Engine moved oat.
By moving un , a square :or two !evel
ground could be obtained. which would an-,
swer the purpose much better than the
present lot used. This: lot could be sold'
very readily, andwould, probably bring a
sufficient amount to make the proposed
improvement. The matter , will receive
the attention of the Committee again. The
Company . are somewhat dissatisfied. with,
their engine eon account of its great size
and weight. At a meeting. held. on Wed
`nesday evening a. resolution; was passed
asking Councils to sell the machine and
procure a smaller and lighter one.
The Committee next proceeded to the
Hose, Hook and Ladder Company's quar
ters, corner of - Sandusky and. Ladock
streets, where they found sufficient to oc
cupy their attention for some time. The
house is altogether too contracted for the
purpose, and has been a source of .considL
.erahie annoyance to the members on that
account." In the lower room the hose car
riage, trtick, horseS, he•fie,some hay, etc., are
placed,lind as.. a consequence, the place Is
very greatly crowded. Up stairs, however,
'more - room is given and things are in g.ood
order. The sleeping accommudations here
were found to be much more ample, bat
'the bedding needs replenishing, a fact
which was noted by the Committee. The
place is clean and, as far as circumstances
will admit, kept in good order. A short
dale iigolhe city purchaSed a small brick
building in the rear of this engine house,
which they intend to remodel and convert'
into a stable and hose tower. When this
Is accomplished the Company will be amply
provided lor. Everything about the place,
so far as the Company ere concerned, was
found to be satisfactory, and the Committee
withdrew to the headqnarters of the
Steam. Fire Engine Company on Xast lane,
Third ward. Here the; same complaint
reached them of the small nesss of the build
ing used. The companybiully need a stable
fora the horses, which - are now crowded in
the same room with the engine and hose
carriage. A vacant lot in the rear of
the house has ' been,olfered them , at a
reasonable figure. The Committee
made an examinatioh of the prem
ises, but gave no opinion in regard
to the matter. This Company is bet
ter supplied with hose than any other in
the city. The hose'carriage is lather old,
but strong and tirm, and good for a num
ber of years yet, Everything about the
place was in order, and the accommodation
for the members was all that could be de
sired. The only trouble seemed to be in
regard to the size of the house, a difficulty
which will be reuiedied at the earliest prat,
ticable moment. '
The Committee next proceeded to the
house occupied by the
ELLSWORTH
Hose Company, on Third street. Every
thing at this place was all right. The Min
ing is a new one and fully meets the wants
of the company. The only article needed
here is a change of hose, which the Com
mittee made a note of and which will be imp
plied, The carriage and stock were in good
order, and the company seemed ready for
action at any time.
Paxsing from thisplace, the next visited
was the ,
Also a hose Company, located at,the corner
of. Be i lver and Jackson streets, Second
ward. The only deficiency here was in the
sleeping accommodations, which will bo
remedied. Everything about the place
was, neat and, shining, and displayed en-.
ergy and,care on the part of the members.
The.puildings are sufficiently large for
all ordinary, purposes, and answer
well. There will be an additional
room placed at the disposal of this Com-

THE FINAL 'TEST.,
The Committee after hating thus thor
oughly inspected'the department, noted its
wants, listened to suegestlons, and become
fully acquainted with the condition, of the
work under their charge for the ensuing
year started on the return trip. While
coming up Ohio avenue it was anggested as
a' final test that an' alarm be given,
and the result noted for future refer
ence. Acting on this suggestion an
alarm was given from box No. 14 at
the corner of Ohio avenue and Bidwell
street. In three and a half .minutes after
the alarm was given the Friendship Hose
Carriage made its appearance on the ground,
followed in a few minutes thereafter by ev
ery engine and hose carriage in the depart
ment, the whole transaction occupying loss
than ten minutes throughout.
The General Grant Engine, located the
farthest away, in the extreme eastern part
of the town, arrived in nine Minutes on the

Some four or five weeks since, We pub
fished an account of the robbery of Steven
son's.
jewelry store, •Liberty street, by
a man who came lathe establishment early
in the morning when there was no one in
but the boy, and upon the pretence of want
ing to purchase a bill of jewelry, had
a number of articles plpced upon the coun
ter for inspection, and while looking over
them, managed to take, unobserved, about
five hundred dollars worth of goods. The
boy I did not discover the robbery until
some minutes after the thief had
departed, and, consequently, he ef
fected- his escape. A description of
the man who had , stolen the goods was
given to the police, but none of them knew
anything about him. A few days after the
transaction, Mr. J. J. Cook, detective
officer at NOW Castle, was in the city, and
hearing of the robbery called upon Mr.
Stevenson, who described the man who had
stolen the goods, and at once stated that he
thought he knew the man. At the sugges
tion of officer Cook, Mr. Stevenson made
informatimi before Alderman Butler;
charging John Johns with larceny. Johns,
it iS alleged, is d professional thief, and one
of the most successful in this section of the
country. His operations have been gener:
ally ationt'New Castle, and although he has
been arrestedlieveral times prior to this,he
has always managed to escape from the
officers, and consequently has never been
brought to justice.
A warrant was hinted for hie arrest and
placed iff, the 'hands of officer Cook, who
immediately went to work on the case. A
few days after receiving the warrant he
found a gold watch and heavy seal ring,
Which had beet plire'hased•from 'Johns by
Mr.. James Pollock, of New Castle. The
goods filled the description of a portion of
those,stolen from e Mr. Stevenson, and this
confirmed the suspicions of the officer and
fully satisfied him that Johns was the man.
Effying discovered who the thief was,_ his
work was only half done as he' had yet to
capture him, which, considering the man
he had to deal with and the fact of hie hav
ing several days, start of him, was a big
undertaking.,
Learning that Johns had gone west he fh!-
lowed him to Rock Island, Illinois, and on
arriving there found that his man had gone
east several days before. He returned to
New Castle, in which vicinity Johns' wife
resided, and on Wednesday morning,seelng
that lady take the cars for Middlesex, Mer
cer county the evening previous, he fol
lowed her. Thursday evening he captured
Johns about six Miles east of Middlesex
and brought him to this city: After a
hearing before Alderman Butler, he Was
committed to jail for trial in default of bail
tor his appearance at Court.
A Plttsburglier Ahroad and in Trouble.
If an item. elipped from the Cincinnati
Gazelle of Thursday, ho true, a- person who
claims to be a citizen of Pittsburgh .has
been acting in a - manner not at all calcula
'ted to increase the respect in which the cor- ,
poration should be held abroad. The item'
is to the effect that a certain Henry Brad*
.
ford, Who claims Pittsburgh as his home', is
under arrest in Covington upon the charge
of stealing a horseunli buggy, the property
of Samuel Moreland, livery stable keeper
on Madison street, between Fifth and Sixth
streets. On Monday last Bradford called
at. Mr. Moreland's stable, and stated that
he wished to hire a horse and buggy to go:-
ont on the Lexington turnpike a few milts
to the residence of a Mr. Stephens, at t e
same- time preSenting to Mr. Moreland a.
note, purporting to come from-Mr. John
Hall, proprietor of the Black Bear Tavern
in Cincinnati. This , note recommended.
Bradford as an honest man, tc., and added
that he wished to hire a horse and buggy
for a short trip. Upon the strength of
the note tabors° and buggy were hired
to Bradford, and he started off up
Madison street. After he had gone a Short
distance, Detective Butts, who happened to
come along, told Moreland that ne had bet
ter follow the fellow, as be believed he was
a rascal and intend, d to steal the horse and
buggy. Moreland took the advice and fol
lowed Bradford, who, instead of going out
the Lexington turnpike, went to the Main
,street ferry, where he was overtaken. In
explanation of his strange conduct he said
he was goimeover to Cincinnati for the pur
puse of getting a friend to go with him on•
his trip. Moreland ordered hfin to drive
back to the stabile, and for fear 4o would
get away, put a Mr. Singleton in the buggy
with him. Near the corner of Third and
Madison streets, Bradford leaped out of the
buggy and ran, off. Singleton pursnedy,
shouting "stop 'thief" at ihe top of his
voice. Before Bradford reached - the Cov
ington and Cincinnati bridge he ran smack
into the arms of the City Marshal, Who
escorted him to jail. Mr, Moreland has
since ascertained that the note which Bofid
ford presented him was a forgery. *

on these streets, and 'this is a great consid
eration with one .who keeps a carriage—
still more to -one who does not. Rents
therefore on these streets should be lower
than on other streets, where there is good,
frequent and cheap conveyance.
Property holders should see to this and
protect their own interests. Five hundred
dollars invested in a good railway, even if
‘it should pay no dividend, will pay well in
higher rents. Any person would gladly'
pay thirty dollars more for a four or five
hundred dollar house, with easy means of
access, than without it. Property in these
localities should be proportionably lower"
than elsewhere. No man will willingly pay
the same rent for a house' which he can ap
proach only - with difficulty and expense
that he will for one he can reach easily and
without expense. But a well-marlitged
railway on those streets will pay now and
still better every year, becoming in a few
years a vorr.prodtable investment. Let
land and house owners see to this.
Tapping. a T.lll.
Yesterday morning a young lad named
Goldberg, "tapped" the till of Mr. Samuel
Fletcher's butaher Stand, in the Allegheny
market, while the attention of the.proprie
tor was attracted in different direction.
Mr. Fletcher had noticed the boy leaning
on the stand a few minutes before the
money was taken, and , upon melting the
discovery of his loss he immediately
started in pursuit. The boy had. secreted.
himself in the Diamond Weigh-house but
upon the approach or his pursuer In ' that
direction he attempted to escape. After a
smart chase of several squares, he was se
cured, and upon being searched a five dol
lar bill was , found his pocket. He ac
knowledged to the stealing of ten dollars,
and stated that tbe other dye dollars had
been thrown away at a point which he in
dicated, and where the money was sube&
quently, found. He stoutly maintained
that he had agent none ,of the money? and.
'had only taken the two , hills., Mr. Fletcher
after recoyering,his mon'ey refused to er,ter
proseoution, and 'the: boy, who to about
twelve years of age, was accordingly'
charged,,

About three o'clock yesterday morning
smoke was discovered issuing from the
door and windows of the hat and cap store
of Mr. John Zeller, Penn street, near Wel
,
nut, by George Hines, a butcher, residing
in the Fifteenth ward, while on his way, to
Market. Mr. Hines aroused a gentleman
residing in an adjoining building, and the
two broke open the door for the purpose of
ascertaining the cause of the smoke and
extinguish the fire should there be cue.
They found a fire burning slowly in the
shelving - immediately behind the door,
which indicated that the building had been
'set on fire, as it could not have caught in
that locality from acddent l . The two men
procured the hose belonging to a store
near by, and succeeded in extinguishing
the flames. ,Meantime an alarm had been
struck : from box No.-46, and the fire depart
ment were on the, ground. It was fortu
nate that tbey were, for after the fire in the
shelving was put out smoke was found
- coming up through the floor, and on inves
tigation a number of old barrels were
found piled together in the back part of the
cellar,'among which a fire had been kin
dled and they were burning rapidly. A
stream of water was turned on the fire and
it was soon extinguished.
The circumstances were such as to lead to
lead to the belief that the pro t gletor was
the incendiary, and be was arr ed tr,y NU
core Cupples and Woodbridge . and: cone
veyed to the lock-up, where he remained
until last evening, when, after a Hearing,
he was held to hall in one thousand dollars
for his appearance at Cciitrt. Fire Marshal
Murphy. Chief Engineer Hare, and the offi
cers of the insurance companies, directed
an investigation of the matter.
