! During the last three months about i 5000 were

1t is here worthy of remark that since the muir

been almost unknown in our city That appalling
result of fire. riot may have produced its direct
effects upon ncendiaries. by iphog, fires ashing

ing of may also be accredited with the final
suit of which speak. II il that the fire companies,
unwilling To bear the odium OF the many outrages
committed in the name Of fremen, demanded that
some ten fifteen members Of each company should
hcinvested with police powers whenever on duty as
firemen. Their demand has not yet been responded
to, and their engine houses closed and will re-
main closed until it shall with satisfactory
response. The knowledge that the apparatus cam
not be easily brought out is no doubt an important
reason Of the unfrequency of fires; and, if SO. is
but another proof Of the fact that few. fires occur
from accident. We hope the voters OF Washing
