TIE GoyERNMENT srEAM FIRE BRIGADE

THE GOVERNMENT STEAM FIRE BRIGADE.
Orders were issued on Friday by the Sec
rotary Of War ordering the mastering out
Of the United States service the officers and
men of the Steam Fire Brigade, which for
the past seven years has been of such great
service In this community. The original
order was to muster out the men Of the HI
hernia and Rucker engines, but was subse-
quently amended to dlsband only the Rucker,
leaving the Hibernia (corner Nineteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue) and the
Meigs (Lincoln depot) still In service.
In view Of the fact that the Government
proposes to dispose Of the property at Lin.
coin depot, 1t is probable that the Melgs
company will be removed to the Rucker en-.
gine-house. 1t Is source Of great con.
graduation that the original order has beer
countermanded, as the existence OF this FIRE
brigade has done much to save millions o
dollars worth Of property, not only of tn
Government, but OF the citizens of Washing
| ton.

A WONDERFUL MAroR.-Portland, Me.
has n model mayor, in one particular. The
committee on salaries did not reduce his
salary SO much as he wished and recon-
mended, and he requested n further reduc-
tion, which the Aldermen declined to make,
though urged to do so by the Mayor, who
stated that the present duties of the office
did not require so much attention as duflng
the terms of his immediate predecessors.
The salary for sometime past has been 81 800.
The committee reduced It to 81, 500 and Mr..
Putnam now asks that 1t be $1,000. The
Aldermen declined, as they well know that
1t is at no uncomfortable pecuniary sacrifice
that Mr.. Putnam serves.

DEPREpArIoSs NJ Cows.-wc hear OF
many complaints in reference to cows hay-
ing the freedom Of the city," In view Of
their depredating upon the premises Of citi-
zens, when they discover gate open or an
aperture in fence by which they can tres
pass upon premises and destroy the grass
and growing plants. On Saturday num-
Der of cows entered the grounds Of the
Washington Asylum, without let or him
drance, owing to the dllapidated condition
Of the fences, and destroyed large pea
patch before the Intendant and his guards
discovered them. As the Asylum is not re-
garded a paying institution, Mr.. Martin cul-
tivates the grounds adjacent and belonging
thereto, for the purpose Of supplying the in
stltutlon with vegetables, at the Same time
raising a surplus which Is disposed Of In the
public markets for the benefit Of the Asylum.
We hope the Government will accede to the
request of donating the fences around Lin
coin Barracks to the Washington Asylum,
as great number Of discharged United
States soldiers, within the past year, have
made the Institution their home until they
were otherwise provided for.

BASE BALL-THE NATIoSALs.-Duringt the
last season the National base ball club Of
this city, which, for several years, had held
against all adyersarles the title f"champiOns

feated them in q series Of match games.
The Nationals have determined to make
amends for their bad luck last year, and for
the present season propose to present as
strong a nine as has ever been seen in this
vicinity. 1t will consist of the following
players Pnbor, pitcher; Blrdsall, catcher;
Forkor first base; GibnGy, second basei

sides the inconvenience, Mr.. s. suffers loss

The EIGHT HouR Law AND The Work
accordance with the adjourn
ment on Friday night, the Joint committees
of the workingmen's Association Of the
country (who had assembled In the city to
look after their interest before Congress,)
met at Trades Union Hall, corner Of Eighth
and L streets. Mr.. George o. Cook pre-
sided, with J. W. Brown as secretary. The
Committee on Resolutions appointed on FRI
day evening, reported preamble and reso-
lutions, which, after discussion, were unani-
mously adopted.
The preamble gives brief history Of the
passage Of the elght-hour law In 1868, and
the rejection Of Senator Shermnn's amend
wages and that, notwithstanding the defeat
OF the proposed amendment, the Secretary Of
the Navy (Mr. Borie) and the Chief Of Ord
nance had construed the law to mean re-
ductlon; and In order to define more clearly
the policy Of Congress In adopting the law,
and putting an end to such erroneous con-
structions or decisions, the House of Repre-
sentatiyes had, on the sth Instant, adopted
an explanatory joint resolution, declaring
there should be no reduction Of wages; and
that the measure was defeated In the Senate
only because Of want Of time.
The first resolution tenders the thanks OF
the workingmen Of the United States to the
members ofthe House Of Representatives for
adopting the said Joint resolution, and to the
Senate for Its favorable consideration OF the
same.
The second resolution tenders thanks 10
Senator Wilson and Messrs. Stevens, OF New
Hampshire, Archer of Maryland, Steven.
son, Of Ohio and Banks and Butler, Of Mass.
achusetts, OF the House, for their efforts.
The third resolution sets forth that It Is
the duty Of the workingmen not to sustain OF
vote to elect any candidates for State or ma.
tional Offices who are known to be opposed
to the interests of labor.
| On motion, copies of the resolutions were
directed to be presented to the gentlemen
therein named.
Reports were made as to the action Of thu
Senate in relation to the question of the eight
hour law, and 1t Is presumed that tn
unanimous adoption Of the eight-hour reso
luton in the House of Representatives, an
the favorable consideration received In tn
Senate will be accepted by the President an
the Secretaries Of War and the Navy as a
explanation Of the act declaring that 1t doe
not mean corresponding reduction OF tn
wages.
The delegates resolved to wait on tn
President in a body to-day, and 1t Is proba
bic that they will also seek interviews wit
the Secretaries Of the War and Navy.
