4 F1REMAN's TowER.-Of all things on
Tuesday morning the tiremen seemed to most
need base Of operations-th is, place Oh
which they could stand and fight the flames.
When they were on the pavement they were
sixty feet below the burning timbers; when
they were on their ladders they were still far
below the point of attack, and were not IN a
position to work effectively. They should
have had tower, or rather series OF tow
ers, from which they could have directed
the streams either to the roof or into the up
per windows. A tower could be made by
simply placing together four ladders touching
at the top and spread apart ut the base as
wide Us may be necessary. The upper ends
could be fastened together with iron hooks,
and ut intervals there might be stays cross.
ing from one ladder to the other. With lit
tie practice the fremen would be able to
make one of these towers in two or three
minutes. There might be pulley attached
to the top Of one of the ladders, and
with this the hose could be hauled up to any
required height, and it could be supported
by girths at as many points aS desirable.
The fireman could sit securely in this tower
and direct the stream wherever he wished,
the men below raising or lowering the hose
according to bis directions. The cross-stays
would form q series of safe platforms, on
which the frcmen could sit while managing
tho stream. AS q general rule they would
have to climb OH the inside Of the ladders.
The only question to be solved is, Can such
q tower be made perfectly safer If it can,
we think that it might be Of the greatest ser
vice at all fires in which the hose cannot be
carried up inside the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

TRIAL OF A VALUABLE ISvESTIoS.-An cX-
hibition ofan invention patented recently by
j. L. Prunty, OF this city, was given yester-
day afternoon, at Monument Square, in pre-
sence Of Mayor Nunsant, the fire commission
ers, chief engineer, the water engineer, and
Il large number of citizens. The machine is
small and compact, and is called double all-
tomato relief valve, for the instant relief Of
undue pressure in steam-engincs, pumps,
water-elcvators, hose, DC. 1t was attached
to Que of the discharge nOZZles Of No. 1
steam tirC-cnginc and from thence a stream
of water was forced through two hundred
feet Of hose. It's operation was very salts
factory. Under full head of stream the
water pressure was run up to 100 pounds
per square inch, and the stream suddenly
shut off at the pipe through which
the water was playing, with no Ippa-
rent effect upon tho hose, the valves
acting instanhneously and relieving the
hose from the increased pressure by dis
charging the water from the relief valve at
the engine. Although possessing great ad
vantages as to its application to other uses, il
will prove of almost incalculable advantage
in its application to steam tire-engines, now
used by the various fire departments of this
and other countries. 1t gives to the hose
pipe man the entire control of the water tt
be used at fires, and any quantity desired
from pint to the full capacity Of the engine
can lie thrown OH fire without fear Of burst
ing the hose. and thereby avoiding in a grea
degree the present unavoidable loss of pro
perty by throwing more water III building
than is absolutely necessary to extinguish ,

The Corporation Court, Judge Flournoy
presiding, has been in session during the
mast week, and whilst there has not been
much doing there is strong probability OF
Colonel Strother receiving one or two more
boardels at bis hotel in few days.
During the past few weeks there has not
been much tobacco coming in, but what has
been offered has commanded much higher
prices than formerly, the article having
slightly advanced.
Some of our tobacco factories have already
commenced work, and we presume that be-
fore the close of the present week the others
viii resume operations.
Last Sabbath was sprlng-like and beauti-
full day, and we began to think that winter

Being Il reader Of Your valuable paper.
your correspondent would be pleased to be
Informed whether there is law in the MAJ
ryland Code known as the buggy collection
law? If so, how long has the above law
been in eXistcncel Your correspondent has
never heard Of it, and as the press is gener-
ally pretty well posted, have taken the
liberty to resort to that source for intorlna-
ton about this novel mode Of collection of
debts-viz., the buggy with the inscription
on the sides in large letters collection of
Bad Debts,' which parades our streets and
stops before the door Of the person owing
the bill, collecting crowd of people, and by
this means injuring the credit of the debtor,
who probably would pay if he had the
means. This process seems unjust, and
might be attended with considerable trouble.
We have laws to protect the creditor, and
be should avail himself Of them.
Respectfully, LAW AND ORDER.
I'VE believe there is nothing in the Code
which prevents a collector of good or bad
debts from riding in Il buggy, nor is there
any law to prevent him from labelling his
buggy as he may think proper. As to the
justice or injustice Of the proceeding, it may
work lady in some cases; but so long as
there are plenty Of persons who can pay and
won't pay, we must expect various devices
to cource them into meeting the just demands
Of the creditor.-Elitors Americana

TIE FAILING OF CROFT HALL.-From the
Frederick Examiner we take the following
additional particulars with regard to the
giving way of the floor of Croft Hall while a
Fair was being held in it by the colored peo-
pie Of Frederick:
about 10 o'clock on Monday night last
this community was startled by the cry that
the floor of Croft Hall, on west Fourth
street, had fallen, and that a great many lives
were lost. The first report was that Junior
Hall, at which there was ball in progress,
was On fire, hence the alarm OF fire was
raised, but the shlieks of suffering humanity
soon developed the fact that 1t was not fire
that caused the commotion, but the falling OF
Croft Hall. The hall was occupied by color
ed people, who were holding Fair, and WAS
| filled to its utmost capacity when the disaster
occurred. Just before the accident occurred
| a colored man remarked that lie was fearful
the floor would give way, and slliting his az
ton to bis apprehensioi1s; retired, md only
reached the pavement i'll time to escape the
general injury to life and limb that followed
| The floor gave way near the stairway, Pm
| cipitating about one hundred persons-men
women and children-to the ground. The
apartment below is used us livery stable, and
was filled with carriages and buggies, which
DTOhc luc litll SOlucWLals Hc oCl CuIiis VI ttic
| injured were heard several squares off, and
when 1t became known that the hall had
fallen In an immense crowd Of persons assem-
bled in front of the building, and as speedily
as possible ladders were placed at the win.
dows to rescue those who were clinging to
the remaining portions of the floor along the
sides of the wall. One young girl, however,
jumped from the window and broke her leg.
AS soon as the excitement had somewhat
| abated land after the physicians began to ar-
rive, attention was turned to the suffering,
but fortunately there was but onc life lost
who was boy about twelve years old, and
who was probably tramplest to death. There
were great many injured but none seriously,
except a young woman who, it is thought,
will die from the effects Of the injuries sus'
tanned, which are Of an internal character
Although there was quite number who re-
ceived severe bruises and cuts, and a few who
had limbs broken, there should have been an
investigation Of the matter. We all know
that the boy came to bis death by the break
ing in of the floor, but we do not know who
if anybody, is to blame for it, therefore We
regard it as matter that demands investiga
