what a has Done and what ID has
Cost for sfx Months.
Number OF Fires ip the city. Losses
aud Insurance.

The books Of the Memphis Fire De-
partment for the past six months give
much valuable information respecting
the loss Of properly, the amount Of in
surance recovered. and the expense Of
keeping the department in operation. 1t
will be seen that the total expense Of
the department for the six months ending
June 30 has been $25,lOs. The greatest
cost Was during January and Febru-
airy, and this may be accounted for by
the fact that the department has been
paid In scrip, the face Of which, and not
its actual value in themarket, being given
10 the figures presented. The expenses,
therefore, we're really no greater during
the two first months Of the year than
they have been during subsequent
months. In view Of The decline in the
value Of scrip, the Council saw fit to
make proportionately increased appro-
priation in paying of the department
The following figures represent the mum.
Der Of fires, losses, insurance and ex-
pense Of department for the six months /;

psrtment, S5575.
February-Number Of fires, IL; losses,

Total number of fires, 55; total loss,
sos, sos; total insurance, $76,500; total
expense Of department, SIS, 1888.
1t will be seen that the total loss over
insurance during the six months was
only S22, los. OF the origin of the fires
enumerated, the majority have been from
unknown causes. Two only have occur
red from lamp explosions, and about
twenty from defective 1ues. The exact
number of incendiary attempts it would
be quite impossible to ascertain. In'ad-
dition to the above, there have been
numerous false alarms which have never
been reported-the department being
frequently called on to turn out as often
as three and four times within twenty
four hours. Within the six months
there has scarcely occurred what might
be designated "big fire." and during
the month of June the total destruction
of property did not exceed $4,000.
The efficiency of the department is so
well known that it unnecessary to COM
ment upon it. The engine houses, four
in number, and the engines, are all in a
very satisfactory condition, and more
competent or brave body of men than
our firemen, from their chief down, are
not to be found. The department is one
Of the institutions of our city in which we
have occasion to feel pride.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF AN Ex-CoNFED-
ERArE OF FoRRRsr's CoMMAND.-Capt
B. F. Saunders, we'll know in this city,
and at one time Sheriff Of Coahoma
county, Mississippi, and during the late
war dashing cavalry officer in Forrest
command, died suddenly at Asheville,
N. O., On the llth inst, and the
fell suspicion rests upon his wife
and her paramour, man by
the name of Miller, of having conspired
to poison him, in order that they might
the more safely carry on their improper
intimacies, The wife of the deceased
and the man Miller had been arrested,
and a post norton examination OF the
body ordered. Capt. Saunders was a
heroic and gallant soldier, having served
throughout the Mexican as well as the
late war with much distinction, and his
death will awaken many regrets among
those who knew him when in this
vicinity.
