THB FIRE DEPARTMENT..
Mr. Megraw, Chairman of the Com,
mittee on Fire Engines, presented the
following report:
GENTLEMEN: Your Committee on Fire
Engines would respectfully report that
they have been considerably exercised
of late by the unreliable,
,or apparentlY
unreliable, working of the Fire Alarm
Telegraph. Several :tests had been made
by the Committee; all of which were
of an unsatisfactory character, And.
ea', if to add 'the , already 411s
couragIng state of affairs, false
alarms were repeatedly given.' The.
Committee _being anxious. to have- the,
efficiency , of the alarm eeitect;boolinnted
cated with Messrs. Bonnard Cod.,,
onesting them to send some competent
person - here - tr. put' the line - in 'order.
That firm responded by goading hir
-1 Rogers, who has, since his arrival, been
engaged in investigating' and setting
things to right. It Is ' but just to , naen
4ion thatthe report of,Mr. nogersLatiONS,
the line to have been in pretty, good
order, and with the exception of two or
three - boxes, in very good order. The
bad Working of it is aceounted 'for
for byrthe het thiti It had been subjected
to a eystematic or rather continued taW
poring, a fact' whieh has' been Am id.
antly cletnenstrated by the Minimum of
,the guilty parties, two of whom were
paid employes of the elty, , John
!Hunter,r driver of the lertendahlo Ho"
Company; and James Hunter, weigh.
master of the bkploud ward
Rogers bears ample testimony to the eit
ficieney of our present Superintendent
of the Fire. , Alarm" Telegraph, Mr.
2 deCiendiele; as in every way omni
potent to take ear* of the line.
and keep it :in good condition.
Your Committee 'expect to report
at tam neat meeting of Councils that the
entire line, witch - the; changeof lock -
upon the boxes ana the placing of a new
repeater in the,citylitstungtiviil be in
- the hest posatble shape and secure again#
every emergency'. Your Committee had
another and a serious matter before
them, growing out of the arrest and cOn
-Yiction of the President and Foreman of.
the Friendship Hose Company of tam
pering with the alarm telegraph,
already incidentally. , referred to_ in
this report. Heretofore ,your Com=
mittee regarded the Friendship Company
as one of the most reliablei and efficient
companies in the Difpertment, 'and 'yet
your committee are tree to admit that
the great bulk of that company are gocid
enough, but have been overawed and
thrown into a state of mutiny by follow
ing the counsellings of the rowdy .ele
ment in the organization, led on by a
few bad men, who by , their own ad
missions were guilty of all : that
was, charged against • them. - The
CoMpany, we are sorry to any, had
openly arrayed themselves in defiance of
the law, at least two days before , the
meeting of your Committee, refusing to
do service, leaving no :alternative **Abe
Committee than to t ake -tharge of the
house and institute such measures HS in
their opinion would best subserve the
interests of the city and citizens in
that section, supposed to be protected
by this organization. The Committee
held a meeting to consider the mat
ter on Monday night last, and
alter hearing all the facts, conclu
ded that the best course was to disband
the organization and effect a new one,
in the meantime to close the house .rind
remove the bores and apparatus to
the Ellsworth house. After this plan
was agreed upon, your committee visited
the Friendship house and found the
state of affairs anything but flattering.
The hose, reel and all the equipments of
the Company, includinggum coats, belts
and, hats, together with furnishments
were spirited away leaving nothing be
hind butthe old hose reel, horse, and
bedding, everything being in a high
state of confusion. As a palliation, or
excuse for this high-hande,d villiany, It
is alleged for their benefit, thnt it was
not the property of the city, and there
fore they could do as they pleased' with
ft. Be. this as it may, your Committee
are not satisfied with that view of the
ease, and propose to test the law whether
a few dietiffected persons can"destroy the
efficiency of an organization and jeop
ardize the interests of citizens by remov,
ing property, the money to secure which
was ftirnished by the citizens at large,
probably not a single cent contributed by
-those leading in the present hostility to
the city.
Your Committee report the following
resolutions touching both matters refer
red Win the report:
Resolved, By the Select and Common
Council of the City of Allegheny, and it
is .hereby enacted, by authority of the
same, that the previous bad working of
the Fre Alarm Telegraph is not attribut
able to any defective working of the
machinery of the line, but it is solely
and entirely due to the systematic tam
pering therewith.
Resolved further, The thanks of Conti
cils are due, and.are hereby extended to
the firm of Messrs. Uainewell & Ken
nard for their prompt response in send
ing Mr. Rogers here to adjust and.pnt
the telegraph in order.
Resolved, That Mr. McCandless, our
present Superintendent of Fire Alarm
Telegraph, is entitled to our confidence,
and we regard him as in every way com
petent to discharge the duties pertaining
to his department.
The report was received and the reso
lutions adopted. '

follows: A poor woman, residing some
distance from the city on, tite south side
of the river, having collected together
quite a large basket full of eggs, started to
bring them to market yesterday morning,,
and having small child, and ri4
with *horn to leave it, was necessarily
compelled to bring it with her. The
basket of eggs was of itself a heavy load,
but in addition to - this the poor woman
had to carry her child, which was too
small to walk. She, however, stUes4do4
'IR lying both child and basket as far
as Birmingham, and there she met a fel

She kept in eight the s waignif until" it
arrived at the north end of the Mononga

rect route from the Panhandle4tailroad
Bridge, in South Pittsburgh,to illiams
burgh, a distance of two and six-tenths
miles, and a lateral route from Wiliams
burgh up Beck's - Run into the coal re
gions, a distance of two and six.tenths
miles. The estimated cost of construct
ing that portion of the proposed road to
Williamsburgh was ;72,000. This, how
ever, will, it is stated, be by far the most
expensive portion of the road. In other
places, five often miles can be built ,for
the same money. " • • .
After an examination of these plans
they.were laid over for the present, and
the Engineer instructed to .proceed as
soon as practicable with a survey of the
entire route proposed from South Pitts
burgh along the margin of the river to
Brownsville.
It was reported that the borough of
'Birmingham would grant the right of
*ay to the road on Manor street; as re
quested, free of charge. , No definite ac
tion had been taken in ,the matter in .
East Birmingham ' but it was generally
conceded that the right of way would" be
granted on the same conditions accepted
by Birmingham.
The remainder of the time Was spent
' in discussing matters pertaining to the
interests of the Company, which are
however; not sufficiently matured to be
made public at present.
The meeting adjourned to reconvene
at the call of the President.
Lad& *Mug Mid Summer Suits.
There is one feature Of the stock which
Messrs. Bites At Bell have 1101 v on hand
at their store, 21 Fifth avenue, that Merits
special attention, and isgenerally and de
servedly admired by the ladies. We re
fer to the large and varied assortment of
black silk, poplin, linen and alpaca walk
ing dresses, and we feel warranted in
stating that it is one of the moat attractive"
ever exhibited in this city. It comprises
ready made suits in all the late French
styles and designs which are, perhaps,
far superior to any we can produce in
Pittsburgh, in regard to accuracy of At
and general gracefulness. The silks are
very beautiful, and with' their different
shapes and trimmings, present a charm
ing variety to the purchaser. The poplin=
suits represent every shade of color, and
are ail neat and tastelni.. They range in
price from 122,00 upwards and are in
great demand. In a notice, yesterday,
we referred to the handsome W •linen sea
side snits._ and to-day e have Only to
repeat that nothing a tones so cheiP and
so well adapted to summer wear has been
offered here for rainyseastons. They are
complete in every reapect,.and . yet sell
so low as 118,00. In the line of alpacas
there is a display of almostuaqually at
tractive suits. Of' the various Imported
goods we have mentioned, Messrs. Bates
tt Bell have brge assortments, ready
made-up and . St Ibr immediate wear.
They representall that is fashionable or
fresh in . Paris or the East, andare finer
than can be produced here. Those, how
ever, whci desire to leave orders for snits
will have a choice and extensive lot of
fabrics to select froth and some of our
best home 'modistes who are in the ser
vice of the Arm to prepare them. - We
will close by noting that in the cloak
room, yesterday, we were shown no lei
than thirty different styles of black silk
mantles, cloaks and sacques, each one ap.
parently outstripping - the others in ele
gance and richness, as they
sidvely exhibited., They r anged in
price from 110,00 to 165,00, and are chiefly
imported from the leading European
houses. There is one new style among ,
them, the sleveless basque, which is par
ticularly noticeable for its novelty and
beauty. Ladies know where to go for
goods 01l this character.
TheNotlonit Insurance Company.
This sterling Conipany has changed its
quarters, and now occupies a handsome
ly fitted up and commodious office on
the second floor of the Second Natioing
Bank buildhoi, on the southeast corner
of the Diamond and Federal streets, Al
legheny. The "National" has become so
well known throughout the community,
that it seems almost superfluous to say
anything particular in its commenda
tion. Organized by business Hien,
known everywhere for energy, tact,
integrity and business ipailfications;
the institution would have 'been a
strange anomaly indeed had it not proved
successful. That it has succeded, and now
ranks among the soundest and most
companions in the State,' is not
to be wondered at, but it affords an ad
ditiomg proof that an enterprise of its
character, when properly managed,. is
sure to prosper. :In addition, however,
to being well managed, the National pos
sesses another great advantage. in
being a home institution, an advantage
which is too well appreciated by every
`caieftil insurer to need comment. Thetis
have been elements of past success, and
upon these reliance is' placed for fUtnre
prosperity. ...
