A Steam Fire En- CINE,

Since the fire it has been suggested by
many citizens. in consideration of the
| nature and character of large majority
| of our buildings being OF wood, and in
many places very compact, and the liza
bility of the frequent occurrence of fires,
and the usual high winds of the country,
which are liable to fan Il spark into vast
conhasration, and consequent destruc-
ton of the whole town, that the fire COM
panies start Il subscription for the pur-
chase OF u steam fire engine. The sale
of the present machines by the County
Commissioners on the arrival of a fire
steamer would. with the addition of a
small subscription from the citizens. fur
nlsh the town with n more effective fire
department than it now has, because in a
big fire of long duration it is death to the
men on the brakes, and difficult to get
citizens to relieve them; but with steam.

machine never gets tired, and its power

A man having had much experience in

A GREAT FIRE STARTED.
NOBLE WORK OF THE FIRE DE-
PARTMENT.
FIRE ExrlNsu,ssEp AND BUILDING SAVED


About noon yesterday dense volume
of black smoke was seen issuing out of
! the roof of Bright & Simpsons saloon,
situate on the corner of Carson and Proc
tor streets. This building formerly be-
longed to Geo. L. Gibson (now of the
Ormsby House, and was kept by him
several years as saloon. The present
proprietors had entirely overhauled, re-
paired and enlarged it. The large room
of the lower story fronting Carson street,
was used by Bright d Simpson as sa-
loon; and the rear, consisting of large
dining room, kitchen, eating stalls, wash
room, etc, was occupied by Elijah Wal
ker as an eating house.
The Alarm
was instantly given, and the fire compa-
MES few to the rescue, with even more
(if that were possible) than their usual
alacrity, but before they could reach the
ground the fire burst from the roof in one
vast sheet of flames. On the opposite
corner of the street is cistern, at which
the engines took up positions, the Curry
SGttiHs, lIiSt Ndttl men commenced as
active and determined battle as ever
tiremen waged against their fiery foe
The whole roof now seemed to be on fire,
and later developments proved it to be SO.
Very fortunately for Carson, there was no
breeze at the time. for had there been. no
fire department, we care not where they
may be found, could have saved the town
from entire destruction. The four blocks
adjoining this corner are built I'D solid
on Carson street and are all wood near
the fire, and AS dry as a six month";
drought and a burning sun can make old |
pine lumber, and it was not thought pos
slble to save any building near it when it |
first broke out but so determined were |
the boys and SO well handled We're the |
companies by their foreman, that it |
was kept confined to the roof; the second |
story having plastered ceiling, it never
even reached the rooms of the second |
story. But of course everything was
spoiled. The upper story was used as a
lodging house-the rooms all well and
furnished, and a portion oc-
cupied by Mr.. Simpson and lis family.
The furniture was thrown out and broken
and bedding dragged through the mud
and dlt OF the streets-in fact every
thing in all the places of business near
the fire was moved out none thinking it
possible to save the block. What escaped
destruction by removal met in the del
lge as unfortunate a fate. The fire, it
seems, started from defective chimney
built between the old and new compart-
nents, SO that the flame passed up under
he roof, and it being tight, ran along on
aither side until the whole was mass of
lanes as soon as it burst through to
he air and formed current. Too much
praise cannot be given to the noble con-
luct of the fire companies, both Warrens
md CulTvs, for never did men do better
nd in less than half an hour from the
frst stream OF water the fire wfk out and
he charred roof and :. deluge and flood ,

1t has been generally supposed that
the management of the finances of the
country required not only the closest
attention but constant and assiduous
labor on the part of the chief financial
officer of the Government. The impres.
sion had been that the labor and anxiety
were sufficient not only to occupy all the
time, but to break down the strongest
constitution. Such, however, does not
appear to be the case. for with Secretary
Boutwell, it is only pastime by which
he can strengthen himself for active
campaigning for his chief. It is true,
there may be during his absence, as
there have been in the past, several de-
falcations of subordinates; but then that
is only loss of the peoples money,
which is of little Importance compared
with Grants re election.

A quotation from the New York Tri-
6une, used to illustrate caricature of
Greeley, and claimed to have been pub
llshed on certain day of 1860, was dis.
owned by the Tribune and pronounced a
forgery. Since then it has been Disco
vered that the paragraph in question did
appear in the Tribune in 1861, whsu the
antagonism between the North and South
was at its height At that time many
unwise utterances were made by people
in all portions of the country. Few, in
deed, would like to be judged in 1872
for what they said during the war fever
OF 1861, and still fewer could find their
record consistent as has been that Of
Horace Greeley.

NEGRO GIRL SHor-VERDIoT. OF ACoI

Adam Walker, shot Susan Coker, girl
OF his own color. aged about seventeen,
on tho plantation of MIR. D., Kirkpa.
trick, Immediately below the city. under
the following circumstances: It appears
that the boy Walker. the girl, and q
number of other negroes were resting
under large tree in the middle of q
field, where they had been working dur-
ing the morning. They were all on
good terms, the boy and girl being espe-
cially friendly towards each other. After
the party had been under the tree for q
short time. Walker pulled pistol out of
one of his pockets and pointed it at
several of the negroes. He afterwards
remarked that it was not loaded, and
handed it to the girl to examine, and
she also said that there was no charge in
IT. Walker then took the pistol from
her and pointed it at her head, saying,
as he did so, "Mindl I am going to
shoot" The pistol was instantly diG-
charged, the ball striking the girl near
the left temple. producing almost imme-
diate death. Walker, terrified rby the
report of the pistol and the death of the
girl, ran to the river and crossed over TO

4AMMANY SUPFORTSO GREELEY. MOST

shameless audacity to confess it. Why,
they actually raised banner while their

'Tammany supports Greeley" And
thereupon the pictorial slanderers take
up the wondrous tale and represent
Tweed, Connolly G. Co. as the Tammany
magnates, whose support has thus been

Many readers may have forgotten, but
the authors OF these ISLANDERS have not,
that the downfall of the Tammany ring
was followed by complete revolution in
the Tammany Society. Here it is, as
organized under the reign Of Tweed and
ths thieves; and here, as re-organized by
OConor and Tilden, who caught the
thieves. stripped them of power, and are
to-day trying to send them to jail:

vote likely to be cast for Horace Gree

who overthrow them and now hold their
places and power in the old Tammany
Society, Charles O'Conor, the great ad-
