Almost a Contlagration.—About nine 'o'clock Tueiday evening considerable alarm was created among the inmates of the Optic Saloon, on Fifth avenue, by the discovery of a slight fire in the ceiling at the point where the stove pipe passes lbrough.

A Show Case A Hard behell. THE rag BEPAZEILENT. Meeting of the Committee of Fire agina& and Hoed ,—Tour epee on—Condition or the Departmeat. 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 big on Monday.

Court of Quarter Sessions—Judge St•we. 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. The Great West The Allegheny Library ,Association have engaged Rev. A. M.

A. Little I The quiet and goodly circles of society , • in town ' s'hip; Allegheny ocruntY. 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.

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 ,cannot te relied upon lately in one case out of . n. Stich ast of things ought' not to be in a matter ate of so much importance. The old system of relying upon the bells at the different engine houses is vastly preferable. Either have the line abolished. or make it effective. As it is now, there is something radi cally wrong either with the sys tem or its management, and wher ever the fault is the sooner the remedy is applied the better. In making these suggestions we do not mean at all to cast any reflections upon the Committee, which we consider one of the beat connected with the Councils, nor-upon the Superintendent of the Tele &kph. Wo merely - reflect the senti ments and feelings of the citizens, who have paid for the establishment of the line, that it either be made to answer the purpose or thrown to one side alto gether, Removed. 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 changed in a short period to any address. They haVe on hand samples of their 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.
