FIREMEa's MUss.-John Doyle an.


peared before the Mayor yesterday, to answer for
assaultiDg r. B. Winston, one of the fire police,
while duty at fire on the night of the 1st inst.
Several witnesses we're introduced, and the testi-
mony. in some unimportaDt particulars, was con-
fctDg. Mr.. Winston testified, that after stretch.
ing the rope, required by ordinance, he invited
all persons not firenen,st to retire beyond it. Mr..
Doy at frs: refused to do so, but afterwards left
the enclosure, and ct the same time applied hard
epithels TO the brigade. When one of the Com
manders came up, Winston told him what had oc.
Cured and the two left the enclosure to ascertain
the name Of the offender. On getting near Doyle.
he was pointed out as the man. Doyle then abused
Winston, shook his fist in bis face, and fnally
struck him, when Winston returned the blow
with spauner. just at this point persons inter-
ferred, and the fight closed. Doyle proved that
with the aid of two or three friends he saved the
horses and carriage in the stable. before the Fire
Brigade reached the ground-that Winston order
ed him to leave the enclosure in a rude manner,
and called him a rowdy-and that W. also gave the
first blow. The Mayor said it was his determine
tion to enforce the ordinance, and that every
good citizsa should promptly obey them He
therefore fined the accused $40, and held him to
bail TO keep the peace.

as Secretary.
On motion Of Mr. WorreI, the mseting adjourn.
cd 10 the Court Room in the City Hall, where they
iound ample and pleasant accommodations.
DIR. Francis Mallory, the President, then read
his regular Auuual Report, which exhibited q sz.
tisfactory state of sf rs at this time, and most
nattering fature- Embodied in this report was
statement to- the effect, that the plan of iiauida-
tiof OF Indebtedness, which was now being carried
out by the Directors, would result in leaving the
company with floating debt of only $3I, 600 over
us iuuded debt of 5000 900, which would place
TINS. Company in better financial condition than
any similar Company In this State.
Embodied in the Presidents report, was bis de-
ciarafion not to be a candidate for re selection,
which was but in fulflment of his intentions long
since expressed.
Col. VIM. Malone, Civil Engineer AMI Superin,
tendent, then read long aud able report, which
was confirmed by tabular statistics.
The report of the Superintendent exhibits the
gratifying fact that the telegraph line between
this city aud Petersburg, besides being exceeding
iy useini to the Company, paid, during the past
year, 10 per cent. on the cost.
slight collision occurred to-day between the
counfy ferry steamers. The damage swas slight,
and no person was Injured. PERCUSSION
