Trail Of a Steam Fire Engine.

A delegation of Firemen from Louis
vile lately visited Cincinnati to witness
an experiment with the steam fire engine
which has been adopted in the latter city,
and returned home entirely satisfied with
its utility and efficiency. The following
is the account Of the experiment
The chief engineer ordered the steam
engine to be brought out. She left the
engine house at precisely half past two
o'clock, and was run six squares in FIVE
minutes and half. The steam was up
in four and half minutes after the torch
was applied. In sixteen and half min
utes from the time they commenced hitch
ing the horses to the machine the water
was through two lines of hose eight hun
dred feet in length, and throwing two
streams about sixty feet through inch and
a quarter nozzles. In twenty-five min
utes she was throwing two streams on top
of the Mechanics institute building, one
hundred and ten feet perpendicularly.-
Trails were then had of one, two, three,
four, and five lines of hose, all of which
proved very successfully the merits Of the
engine.

The Wright Burglars.

The Frederick (Md) Eraminer says
On Monday morning Mr. David T..
Watcher, constal lie, aided by Mr.. John
Lycth, stone cutter, who directed suspi-
cion to the parties, arrested two men.
calling themselves Thomas Anderson and
John Key, and said they were Scotch
men, on suspicion of having been accom-
phces in the late desperate burglary at
the house of Mr.. William Wright, in
Philadelphia. The officer, accompanied
by Mr.. Lyeth aud Mr. Henry Bender,
in small spring wagon, overlook the
prisoners at Musser's tavern, about two
and half miles west of this city, on the
Hagerstown turnpike, and offered them
ride, which they readily accepted. The
party then went to Hagan's tavern, about
half mile further on, where the arrest
took place. 1t Itappeared in evidence, be.
fore Justice Harding Of this city, before
whom the prisoners were examined, that
while at Hagan's, and during the tempo
rary absence of the officer from the bar
room, Anderson was overhead TO say to
Key, in low tone, we are detected
This circumstance, in connection with the
contradic tory statements they give OF
themselves, a wound on Anderson's leg.
which is not satisfactorily accounted for,
and number Of minor facts tending to
strengthen the suspicion against them, in
duced the Justice to commit them for a
further hearing, Meanwhile, Mr., Wright
has been tclegraphed, and the Mayor Of
Philadelphia written to on the subject.
We since learn that Mr.. j. Mirkil, of
the Special Police of Philadelphia, has
arrived here, and upon seeing the prison
ers, says they answer Mr.. Wright's de-
scription of the burglars exactly. Upon
his return a requisition will probably be
made for the prisoners. Mr.. Wright was
too aGwell to come on.
