Unsuccessful Attempt.
831120 time during Tuesday night an
unsuocessful attempt was made by burg_
lars to enter the feed store of Voeghtly ca
Kopp, on Ohio street, Fourth ward, Ale-

the rear of the establishment, but •the
operators found their game blocked by
an inside lining of sheet iron, which had
been placed over the door especially to
_ prevent access to the interior by such
means. Some months ago• the store was
robbed by thieyes, who gained an en
trance by cutting through the door. The
firm subsequently placed the sheet iron
over the door, thus profiting by experi
ence.

The Committee of Gaturcibs on Fire En
gines and Hose met yesterday at one
o'clock p. at., pursuant to a call of the
chairman, Mr. Boggs, at Hare's Hotel, for
the purpose of making the annual tour
of inspection of the several engine
houses. There were present Messrs. Gal
laher, Wainwright, Quinn, Hartman,
Boggs, Vick, Meyer, Schott and Weisen
berger, all of whom visited the engine
houses of the different companies, ex
cept Messrs. Gallaher and Hartman, who
declined to accompany the Committee.
An omnibus had been provided for the
occasion, and at two o'clock the Commit
tee, accompanied by Chief Engineer
Hare and the representatives of the press,
started on the tour of inspection.
RELIEF zfirtinvE 110.IISE.
The Relief Engine Hous6 on Fifth ave
nue, in the Slath, - ward, was first visited.
Everything J.tvidi found in good order
about the premises. The company have
thirty sections of hose, twenty-two of
which are in good order and it for ser
vice. The apparatus consists of an Amos
keag engine and one hose carriage, and
the company •have three good horses.
After a thorough Inspection of the prem
ises and apparatus, the Committee ex-,
pressed themselves well satisfied, and re
paired to the house of the
RESCUE HOOK AND LADDER COMPANY.
This company has been in service for
about two years, and notwithstanding
they have received no .appropriation
from Councils, purchased their own
truck and ladders, and have had many
circumstances of a discouraging nature
to contend against, the company has
been one of the most effective HI the de
partment. It has been lately admitted
to representation in the Firemen's Asso
ciation, and there will be an effort made
to have an appropriation made to It the
uame asto other companies in the depart
ment. The company have one good
hand truck and four ladders, in all
eighty-five feet in length. They are now
occupying a small frame house on Gibbon
street, the rent of which is paid by the
company. The company is in need of a
good house, and the Committee will
probably report in favor of the erection
of a suitable one for its accommodation.
DU Q UESNE.
The next place visited by the Com
mittee was the Duquesne Engine House,
on Smithfield street, in the Second
ward, where everything was found in
good order except the stable. The pres
ent stable is entirely too small, bat as the
Committee on City Property have pur•
chased an adjoining lot in the rear of the
engine house, fronting twenty feet
on Second street, it -is probable that a
stable will be' erected on it during the
present liaison. There are twenty-six
sections of serviceable hose in the hands 'of the company, and the apparatus con
sists of a hose - carriage and an Amos.
keag Engine, of the latest pattern, and
three horse&
VIGILANT. _
Having made a thoroagh inspoetion of
the premises and - apparatus at the Du
quesne, the Committee next visited the
Vigilant <Engide House; on Third avenue,
where they were met by Capt. Elliott,
who shovied them through the establish
ment and gave theai all the desired in
formation. The house and apparatus
were Mound in good order. The lat
ter consists of a, fine Amoskeag engine
and hose esrrlage, and twenty sections
of hose, ten of which only are service
able. The Company have three good
horses. The engine house is the best ar
ranged and most perfect in its appoint
ments of any in the city, and;everything
is kept In the most perfect order.
EAGLE
The next place visited was the Eagle
Engine House, Fourth avenue. The en•
gine house proper, bunk rooms and par
lor were all in excellent order, and the
apparatus, consisting of a steam engine,
one hose carriage and twenty sections of
hose, were in good condition. The fa
cilities for stabling the horses, of which
there are three, are very inferior, and a
new stable Is greatly needed. The city
owns a lot in the rear of the engine
house, upon which It Is probable a stable .
will be,i or at least should be erected the
coming.season.
The new ladder truck purchased by
the Committee in Philadelphia last fall,
is housed in the shed in rear of the Eagle
Engine House, not yet having been as-.
signed to any company, as contemplated
by Councils when the Committee were
instructed to purchase it. It is an admi
rable arrangement and would be a most
valuable apparatus in the Department If
put into the hands of competent men.
It should be put into service Imme
diately.
ALLEGHENY.
The Allegheny ''Engine House was
next visited by the Committee. The en
gine was undergoing repairs, but we
were informed by , some of the members
that it bad not been out of service 'and
would not be. as the repairs were about
completed. The hose carriage was in
good order, and there are ten sections of
serviceable hos+ on hand. The horses,
of which there are three, are. In good
condition. The engine house, although
it cost the city about $16,0b0, nearly
engine double that of any other house, is
not .well adapted to the purposes for
which it was intended, and is inferior to
moat of the houses in many respects.
ZEPTUNE.
The Neptune House was then visited,
and while the apparatus, consisting of an
Amoskeag engine,a hose carriage, and
twenty sections oserviceable hose, were
found in good condition, and the engine
house proper in good repair, the tower
for drying the hose was found to be too
low for the purpos e . The length of the
sections are ff. feet and the tower is
scarcely thirty feet high: It should be
extended at least twenty feet higher. A
new stable is necessary for the proper
care of the horses. • • •
4 A
NIAGARA.. •
The Niagara house and apparatus were
in good condition. There are twenty
sections of serviceable hate. The corn
panytave but two serviceable horses,
one of the engine horses having beers in
ured recently 'while going to a Lire.
The company . have no funds and the city
will doubtless have to purchase them a
horse before the engine can be of, any
service.
niDEPENDENCE. • ,
The last. place visited was the Inde
pendence. The.honse haying been re,
tently remodeled., and Yrepaired, is now
one of the most convenient 'lathe oily,
and the engine is new, of the latest
Amoskeag pattern. The hose carriage
la worn out and Will'hitlietolbe replaced
by a new one at the expense of the city,
ea the comp any _ have no 'funds in the
Treasury. Tha company have fourteen
sectiorus of hose, all goodkondition,
and the horsei are excellent.
Owing to this latenessof the hour. the
Committee decided not to visit the Law
rence HMlCompany, and having made
the tour of all the other companies ad
journed well plauffidwith. the inspeaiqn.
A report;of the doings of thaCommittee,
embodying-; such recommendations as .
they May deem necessary, will probably
be submittedito Councils at the eat

WEDNESDAY, March 24 —The first case
taken up was the Commonwealth ye. F.
Krupricka, Matthew Zirhut Vojteok Do
noyeky and John Baster, indicted for
libel on oath of one Francis Elliott. The
defendants are Bohemians, and the al
leged libellous article was published in
the Marie, a paper printed in the Bohe-
mian language at Racine, Wisconsin..
The article purported to be signed by the
defendants, who reside in Allegheny,
and reflected upon the character of the
prcsecutor. The name used in the arti
cle was ..Mr.Jilllck," but It was claimed
by the Commonwealth that Mr. Ellick
was the person - referred to, and that the
name was designedly changed. It ap
peared that Mr. Ellick had undertaken
the management of a Boheinian colony
in Nebraska, and the article reflected
od, upon that management and insinua
ted that he was not acting properly
towards the colony or the Bohemians
hero. T. M. Marshall and J. J. Siebe
neck, Ems., appeared !or the prosecu
tion, and Messrs. W. C. Moreland and
W. D. Moore for the defense. Verdict of
not guilty.
Commonwealth vs. Charles Ople. in
dictment larceny, was next taken up. It
was alleged that the accused had stolen
a pocket book containing eleven dollars
in money, from the prosecutor, Wm.
/loins, in a saloon. Verdict of guilty.
The Dilller-KauVenn Homicide---Verdict
The jury in the case of Michael Kauf
man, indicted for the murder of the boy
Eddie Miller, came into Court Wednes
day fornoon, (having been deliberating
all of Tuesday night) and asked for In
structions in the question of malice.
Having been , properly instructed, they
again retired.
At a quarter to three o'clock, in the
af
ternoon, it was 'announced that a verdict
had been agreed upon, and the prisoner
was ordered to be brought , into Court.
A few minutes later the jury appeared,
and having taken their places in the box,
one of them stated they hadagreed upon
a verdict, but before rendering it, they
desired to ask the Court a question. The
navies of the jury were called over by the
clerk, and the Court was asked whether
the Jury could-add the word "aggrava
ted" to the verdict. The Court (Judge
Stowe) said they could not.
The verdict was then announced - by the
foreman as "Guilty of Murder of the
Second Degree," and so recorded.
The prisoner was visibly affected after
the rendition of the verdict, and wept
bitterly.
The Jury were equally divided, six
holding out for murder of the first and
six for murder of the second degree,
from the time of first ballot, on Tuesday
night. until noon of Wednesday, when
the number for "first degree" was re
duced .to two. The verdict is.received
is ith satisfaction, the belief being geter
al that while technically, under,thflaw,
the priedner's Crime was- of the higher
degree, vet the doubt,-as to his , having
had a "specific intent" to take-life; was
sufficient to tiarnthe scale in his favor.

have recently been somewhat =flied
otter-the Perth:midis of a scandal case.
which at one time threatened to . ,reaeh
beyond the limits of the oommunity in
which it originated and be brought be
fore the world in the form of a trial in
Court. The principal parties connected
with the case are all of the highest ria
pectability and members of the Church
in the locality where they resided.
One of them is a young lady, about
eighteen years of age and very hand
some, enjoying the reputation of being
the belle of the township. She resided
with her uncle, a middleaged gentl a
men farmer in comfortable circum
stances, and had been an inmate of his
house a number of years, her parents
being dead. Some time agorumor began
to associate her name very disrespect
fully with that of her guardian, but no
attention was paid to the matter until a
direct charge of improper intimacy be.
tween them was made by a member of
the Church. The three parties being
members of the same Church, the
case was at once brought to the
notice of the official body having
jurisdiction. After a fall and com
plete examination of all the drown
stancee, connected with the 'affair, upon
which the charge was based, the de
fendants were acquitted without cavil.
But the end was not yet. The affair had
created such an excitement that peace
could not be had instantly and It contin-
ued to be the theme of gossip, Each
side, of course; had friends, and the re
crimination at last became so bitter that
the person who had brought the charge
before the Church concluded to try some
method of stopping the affair, and with
this end in view appeared before
Alderman Hunibert yesterday and
lodged an information for slander against
thelady and her uncle. He had hardly
left the magistrate's office before the ac
cused appeared and made • a counter
charge against their prosecutor, the
offense consisting in an 'attempt to take
improper liberties with the/lady.
An officer was dispatched for, and suc
ceeded in apprehending the first prose
cutor in a short time, when the parties as
sembled at the Alderman's office, and
after a deal of discussion effected a com
promise by withdraiiing both snits. So
the affair stands at present, but whether
it will remain so the future can only tell.
Jealous Louts.
Louis Anderion, colored, was arrested
yesterday morning by officer Shaffer of
the Allegheny police, for disorderly con
duct. Louis at the time of his arrest
was acting in a very demonstrative man
ner-at a house - In the Third ward, so
much so that the attention 9f the entire
neightiorhood was attracted to the place.
It seems that the domestio relations of
Louis have not Peen of the most pleasant
character lately. He was married some
time ago to an African belle of Alleghe
ny. For a while all was well,till a dusky
visitor made his appearance. At first
Louis said he simply regarded,"de man"
with suspicion, but a feelinglof dislike
and finally hatred of the man took entire
possession of his soul, and he became
so much exasperated at his wife for
encouraging the visits of the intrusive
individual that he ordered her to
leave his house. She accordingly took
him at his word, and a day or two since
put up at the house of a female friend
who keeps boarders, among whom was
the object of Louts' dislike Hearing of
the arrangement, Louis reilaired to the
boarding house yesterday mottling, and
was upbrading his wife for her conduct,
when he was arrested as stated. Whim
bought before Mayor Drum he was fined
five dollars and costs, which he paid and
departed. swearing vengeance dire
against the despoiler of his happiness
if his attentions were not, in the future,
discontinued.

The, Allegheny Fire Alarm.
Last evening an alarm of fire was
tittruck in - Allegheny, but owing to the
i:fidluro of the Fire Alarm Telegraph to
work properly, four different signals
were given, and the locality from whence
the alarm originated could not be ascer
tained.. Th e companies all tamed out
promptly but scattered in all directions,
each, of course, answering the signal re
ceived at its own house. The hose
carriage of the General Grant En
gine Company, in turning out of
Ohio street, to proceed up the east side
of the Diamond was badly wrecked by
the breaking o f front axle, at each
side, allowing the body of the carriage to
strike the ground, and the wheels to fall
off on either hand. Fortunately no per
son was hurt, but the steamer will prob
ably be thrown out of service for a few
days, as this is the only carriage owned
by the company. The damage will
amount to about seventy-five dollars.
In this connection we would suggest to
the Committee on Fire Engines and
HOse of the City Councils, the propriety
of taking some action in reference to
making the Fire AlarnfTelegraph more
effective. ' We understand the apparatus
' coat altogether about $15,000. in its
present condition,
as a practical benefit
to,the city or the firemen, it is not worth
fifteen cents. It any farther proof of its
ineffectiveness be needed than last
night's workings, it), can be found
in the averments of the firemen that

of so much

the line abolished. or make it effective.
As it is now, there is something radi

Smith dr, Sutton, the well-known stencil
cutters, have removed their establish
ment to 58 Market street, where they are
now prepared to do all work in their line
at khort notice, and at such prices that
cannot fail to give satisfaction. They are
now prepared to furnish their much ad
mired stencil frames, which can be

work, that require examination to ap
preciate, as the variety is too numerous
to , Triention. They also manufacture
burning irons, canceling stamps and seal
presses. We recommend our readers to
call and examine their wares, when they
cannot fail to be suited. Remember the
number, 58 Market street. 2

Miss Judith Russel, of New Bedford,
writes: I have been afflicted with se
vere prostrating cramps in my limbs,
cold feet and hands, and a general disor
dered system. While visiting some
friends in New York, who were lasing
PLANTATION BrrrEas, they prevailed
upon me to try them. I commenced with
a small wine-glass full after each meal.
Feeling better by degrees, in a few days
I was astonished to find the coldness and
cramps had entirely left me, and I could
sleep the night through, which I had not
done for years. I feellike another being.
