IMPROVEMENTS OF EVANSVILLE.
Steele's Planning Factory.

We had overlooked this new building in
our regular notices of new Improvements, but
1t is not too late to remedy the evil.
Mr.. Jas. Steele has erected fine brick
Planning Factory on First street between
Chestnut and Cherry streets. 1t is 40 by 90
feet, two stories high; the low story IL feet and
the upper II feet, with cellar Sc by 45 feet,
and circular chimney stack Sc feet high. In
the cellar is beautifully working steam en-
gina with boiler, &C., complete, to work the
machinery above Alarge cistern, from which
the water is pumped by the engine for the
supply.of the boiler, &C.. is fed by water from
the canal run through apipe buried deep
enough in the ground to prevent its being
frozen or otherwise disturbed.
In the first story is Leveling Machine for
heavy planning, ripping and leveling boards.
This is very pretty piece of mechanicism
and performs its work admirably. In the
same story is Sitting Saw, also run by
steam power. These machines with the piles
of rough and planed lumber, fill up the first
story and in fact crowd it.
In the second story are number Of small
machines for various kinds of work connected
with the making of doors, sash, blinds, boxes
&c. Among these are four circular saw tables
q tenant machine; schroil saw and morti
cling machine, some of which are in &C
tive operation nearly all the time. Mr.. Stee
intends making additions Of other machinery
sooh, and will then have complete establish
ment We need not say, from his long expe
rience as master carpenter, and by means o
his excellent machinery already in use, thai
he is turning out the very best work. W.
regard this Factory as valuable addition tC
cur manufacturing establishments.

Large Ear Of KentuckY Corn.

H. J. Campbell, P. NJ. at Nicholasville, Ky,
informs us that an ear of corn raised by Mr..
Walls, of Jessamine county, KY, weighed two
pounds five ounces, measured 90 inches around
the thckest part, and the grain when shelled
measures three pints. This puts Kentucky
ahead Of Ohio and Indiana, in the corn line,
sd az Gin. Com.
Not quite ahead of Indiana, Mr.. CONNER
cial. In the first number of our Daily Ameri-
can, under date of Sept. Goth, we have occa-
sion to notice an ear of corn, raised on West
Plains in this county, by Joseph Travis, which
weighed tao pounds, eight ounces, measured If
teen inches in length and eleuen and half inches
in circumference. kentucky must try again
before being pronounced ahead of Indiana.
lafayette Amer.
L That car beats the one we have been bragg
ing on. Now we will give bright gold dol
lar for an ear of corn beating the above. We
are satisfied it can be done, old Gibson, right
in your borders The corn must be weighed
before it gets dry. Recollect that. We hope
the farmer boys will stir themselves and send
US two pound nine ounces ear.

New Fire Company, Engine, &c.

We have already noticed the fact, that eight
of our citizens had associated themselves for
the purchase of new fire engine, hose-reel
&C., and that the apparatus would soon arrive
Yesterday splendid engine, with besutifea
hose-reel bearing a heavy Girl of new hose, ar
rived on the steamer Memphis, for this Com
Pany. The engine is very large and Of great
power. 1t is of the ''row boat" style-the
pumps work horizontally, and the firemen Sit
ting comfortably on cushioned seats, and ro,C-
ing at the breaks. About forty persons can
thus be seated, while if necessary, ropes can be
attached to the breaks, and the power of hun
dreds applied. Firemen can work this way
with much less fatigue. The engine is beau
tiful piece of mechanism, and of elegant APP
pearance generally. When reprinted, howev-
er, she will have much finer Appearance. The
hose-reel is very elegant, and though looking
light and airy, is strongly built The company
have purchased six hundred feet of new hose,
part of which arrived with the apparatus
The engine will throw 200 feet with common
working, and has thrown 225 feet-and throws
m inch and a quarter stream, while our other
engines throw through three quarter inch pipes
and only 16o feet at the very highest attain
ment. f
This engine has not been worked much we
learn, and is now nearly as good as new. II
originally costs, with the hose-reel, $780,
and was purchased by Cincinnati for one Of
her fire companies, from which city it was pur-
chased by the company of gentlemen before
mentioned for 81 800, all complete. One-third
was paid cash, and notes given by the purchas-
crs for two.equal payments of the remainder
with the city's endorsement. This endorse
ment was necessary. as Cincinnati would not
take the notes Of individuals. This apparatus
was then purchased entirely by private citizens
They will at once proceed to organize a COM
pany, under the name Of the Independent
Washington company No. l. The men and
officers of this Company will be composed Of
men of good character. As an engine is wanted
very much over the canal, in the neighbor-
hood Of the depot, we presume it not unlikely
that some change will be made by which the
Neptune engine will be transferred there, and
the new engine take its place. This engine
and hose-reel will be reprinted The former
will be called Evansville, and the latter Wander.

Distressing occurrence---Two Women and One
Child Burned to Death.
NEW YORK Oct. 10.

New YORK, Oct. 10.
A fire inState street this morning caused the
death of two women and three children, who,
being unable to escape, perisaed in the flames.
Another woman leaped from window and
was much injured. Another was rescued and
carried to the hospital in dying condition
1t appears that the fire originated in the
kitchen, under the stairs The smoke and
flames very soon spread up the staircase, there
by preventing the escape of the inmates down
the stairway without burning. The house
was of four stories, and family occupied
each floor. et
The first floor was occupied by Mr.. Maco-
ney wife and child; second floor by Mr.. Henry
Lubs wife and four children; third floor. by
Oliver d. Vanderburg, wife, two children; Mrs.
Catharine Peacock; fifty years of age; (Mrs
Vandenburg's mother,) and Miss Mary Pea
cock, aged nineteen; fourth floor, by Mrs.
Brown and nephew, aged nine years; attic, by
Julia Recus, and German girl named Reca,
both servants in the employ Of Mr.. Lubs.
Out of the above the following were victims
of the confagration-Mrs Peacock, aged fifty
years; Almeda Vandenburg, aged five years;
Reca, Mr.. Lubs' servant girl. These three per-
sons were found on the first landing stairs way
almost burned to cinder. Mrs Brown aged
twenty years; Mrs. Browns nephew, aged
about nine years.
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1855-10-27

These two were found in bed, having appa-
rently died from sufocation before the fire
reached them. Miss Baker, who occupied a
garnet room, succeeded in forcing her way
down stairs through the smoke and flames to
the first floor entry. There she was extricated
by Mr.. Peter Fritz. She was terribly burnt.
The police conveyed her forthwith to New York
Hospital. 1t was stated by the physician that
she could not survive the injuries The loss
of property appears to have been incalculable,
as the flames assembled the staircase, passing
up to the roof The tenants, it seems, were not
insured.
