STEAM Observation-Disclosures CHAL-
LENGEs THE WoRLD.-Kaye Il Co., of Pitts
burg, have been building some Steam Fire
engines which they think can not be beaten,
and therefore they publish the following
challenge in late number of the Dispatch Of
that city: .. .r..
''There has been considerable excitement
among the members of the Fire Department
and Others, recently, in relation to the COM
parative throwing powers of the new steam
fire-engines, Niagara and Eagle, and on
Monday challenge was extended to the
builders Of the Niagara, by a gentleman
claiming to have been authorized by men,
bers of the Eagle to test the throwing powers
of the engines. This challenge was accepted,
the builders of the Niagara backing her for
one hundred dollars to throw two hundred
and thirty feet, or beat the Eagle in distance
thrown through similar nozzles. The EagLe
having failed to back their first offer, we will
back the Niagara for the same amount OF
more, against any engine of the same weight
in the United States, (not excepting the Eagle
which is heavierl to throw stream of any
given size to greater distance. Weight Of
Niagara four thousand pounds"
We have some personal knowledge Of
Messrs. Kaye & Co., and have seen some Of
their engines, and admitting that they are
very good and will do well enough for Pitts
burg, we do not believe they can compete
with some that are numbered in our Fire
Department. We doubt not they cal be &C.
commodated, if particularly anxious that the
power of the Niagara should be tested and
feel very certain that in every thing that ap.
pertains TO first-class engine ours will prove
superior.

ANOTHER SUDDEN DENISE AT THE CONNER
cIAL HosPITAL--DEATH FROM THE PRACTICE
OF PHLEBoToMY.-Last Tuesday morning, a
young man named Charles Romminger, re-
siding at No. "a Buckeye-street, felt some
what i'll, and went to a barber-shop in the
neighborhood and permitted himself to be
bled.' The practice of phlebotomy, which
now, thank Heaven, is almost universally
deprecated, proved, as II invariably does
very unsuccessful, and in consequence Of
some previous excesses, hastened violent
attack of deLirium Il bemens.
Yesterday morning he was taken to the
Commercial Hospital, and about an hour
after was found with his head lying over the
edge of the bed in the most unnatural and
uncomfortable position. Upon examination,
one of the attendants discovered that he was
dead, and Coroner Carey was called in to
hold an inquest upon the body.
The deceased was q brewer and was en-
ployed in the establishment Of Mr.. Koehler
on Buckeye-street, near the Hamiiton-road
He was native of Wirtemberg, unmarried
about twenty-five years of age, and had re.
sided in this city nearly four-ffths Of that
time. A post mortem examination of tb6
body was held, and after hearing the testi.
mony the jury returned verdict Of death
from deliriltW tremens; the habitual use of in.
toxicating liquors being the remote, and
injudicious bleeding the Immediate, cause.

THE RECENT OUTRAGE ON FIFTH-sTREEr.-
John Eckert, Lyman Robb and Theodore
and Silas Bonner, who, 1t is alleged, SO bru-
tally outraged the person of Mrs Sarah Fos-
ter, few nights ago, on Fifth-street, between
Main and Sycamore, were before the Police
Court yesterday morning for examination.
Although the woman found very little SYM
pathy among the loungers and "shystersN at
this apology for a temple of justice, the case
was made out to the satisfaction OF the Court
and the parties were committed in default of
bail in the sum of $1,000 each for their ap-
pearance before the next term of the Criminal
Court. There are individuals that look like
men, some Of whom pretend to be lawyers,
who think an unfortunate woman can have
no sensibilities, and use their positions to
ask such persons when they appear before
them all sorts of rude and impertinent ques-
tions. "A circumstance of this kind occurred
yesterday morning, and it affords us an op-
portunity to suggest that, although woman
may not be refined, or even chaste, she new
ertheless deserves, and should receive from
all men, courteous treatment.

SINGULAR SUICIDE IN GEoReIA.-A suicide
occurred at Jeffersonton, Ga, few days

Harrison, proceeded TO the bank of the Satilla

arm TO the stake by a cord, he deliberately
cut his throat with razor, held in the right
at Jeffersonton, and is described as having
been tall man, of rather prepossessing ap-
pearance.
