Salt Water ana steam Engines.


New YORK, Nov. Is, 1872.
70 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The late Boston fire will serve as an apology for
the following methods or furnishing an adequate
supply OF water for New York city in case OF fire.
First, by OF pair OF large stationary steam
pumps situated one on each side OF the city, about
Spring street, each independently connected with
three to six lines Of water pipes extending length
wise the city, with convenient and great num-
bers OF hose connections. The pumps in question
to work salt water and be capable ofthrowinga
solid f0ur-fooJ stream at pressure OF 200 pounds
TO the Inch In case of necessity Every one will
excaim that the cost OF boilers necessary to run
such engine would be too expensive.
This l will solve. In the first place. q boiler
OF 100-horse power for each station is all that
Is required, with stationary steam-generating
apparatus. 1t may be novel but also practical
idea in case OF necessity to harness our river crGt
into service. AT a notice OF five minutes any of
our river craft would have completed connections
between their boilers and the pumps in question,
urging the monster to greater eXertion All points
Is uniang, power sure. The l00-hOrse boiler
belonging to same would throw a stream equal to
about twenty-five ordinary steam fire engines now
In use. The steam pump in question could be made
Condensing when run by low pressure boilers.
When not in use as q fire pump 1T could be used as
cleansing stream for the sewers. 1t will not only
be resource in case OF large fires, but altogether
instead of the engines now in use. The pumping
engines, boilers and fitting complete. exclusive of
conducting mains, would not exceed S350,000 put
IN place. G. $. X.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-

A Small Pipe HTan.

TO TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
think the best plan to have an ineXhaustibe
supply of water for the city OF New York is this:-
Lay pipes from the North to the East River-say
every six blocks, more or less. They must be put
below low water mark. Then have smaller pipes
from the cross streets TO connect with the main
pipes that go from river to river for hydrants.
The pipes do not require to be strong, for there
Will be no pressure on them, comparatively speak
ing. Clay pipes Will last long time. The main
pipes should be perhaps about three feet in dame

Paving i'm Goods,


A Paris letter writer says: = Here is
story that is going the rounds. You
know it Is the custom of usurers when
they agree to advance a certain sum of
money to fast young men to make them
take part payment in the most useless
trash, such as mouse-traps, old candle
sticks, etc. A vulture of this species
died the other day in Che Rue de Maui
beuge. The old fellow was very super
stitious, and one day a ,farcer, fur
nished with horn and tail, appeared in
his room at midnight, and announced
that he was the devil come to take
possession of his soul. The old miser
was terribly scared, and tirally offered
his midnight visitor 10000 francs to
let him off. which he accepted. Old
Harpagon tottered to his safe to get the
money, when thought occurred to
him. ] say, sir, said he, wouldn't
it be all the same to You to take part
in goods I've got 9, 900 francs worth
of stuffed parrots, and A roar of
laughter revealed the trick, and the
identity of the wag, who was deeply In
debt to the miser In three days the
pld hunks had him in Ciinchy, for i'm
orisonment for debt had not then been
abolished"

THREE MEN KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.

few miles from JohnstUwn, on Thursday
morning, by which one man working on
repairs was instantly killed and two per-
sons i'll the same employment were so Sc
veTely injured that they died soon after
There are two versions as TO how the acci-
dent happened, one of which is that the
men had gone from one track to the other
to avoid an eastern bound. freight, and
while thus nsginirg themselves i'll a Sc
cure pos itiCn, the Pittsburgh Express west
came dashing along and struck them. The
other account states tLat the above passen-
ger train was run in two sections, and that
after the first section Lad passed the point
of accident the men resumed their places
on the track, unconscious of the fact that
the express had been divided. A short dis
tance east of Niueveh, while rounding the
curve, the engineer of the locomotive at
tacACd to the second section noticed the
men on the track a short distance ahead.
The whistle signal of danger was sounded,
but the repairmen seemed to be confused
and scarcely moved. The air brake was
applied and the engine reversed, but the
near proximity of the men rendered 1t inn
possible to stop the train in time to avert
the impending catastrophe. Andrew Hart
zell, of Newport, on the Pennsylvania rail-
road, Wm. Rogers, of Nineveh, and jaime
| Clark, of East " hItefield, Indiana county,
