The increase OF Che Brooklyn Fire

The increase OF tAe Brooklyn Fire
Department.
The Aldeymanic Committee on Police and Fire
Department met last night in the Common Council
Chamber, Tor the purpose of discussing The PROPOSE
ton Of ncreasing the apparatus and hydrants Of
the Fire Department. The present force Is CON-
PEELED to cover or take care OF twenty-five square
mjies OF property.
Alderman RICHARDSON was OF the Opaion that
the waste time Of the firemen might be employed
TO advantage. The men might work at some trade
or calling, and then attend to fires as they occur.
lie thought the drivers might be employed at the
fire. He considered the report OF the Fire Conn.,
mtssioners rather a strange dOcument-especially
the portion concerning the insurance companies.
Alderman DOUGLAS wondered II II had not been
manipulated by the insurance agents.
alderman RICHARDSON was opposed to doing any
thing which would tend to increase the rate OF
taxation. He would appropriate $4,000 for the
increase OF the telegraphic facilities, but thought
II would be better to defer even this until next
year. They might have two additional engines on
reserve. which would make eighteen in all But
deficiency bill.
After some further discussion Alderman Richard
son moved that the committee report in favor of
raising the deficiency bill $4,000 for increased IA
cLtles for the present system Of fire alarms,
$4,000 Tor additional hydrants and so 600 for two
more engines. This was carried.
The further consideration OF increasing the COM
panles was, on notion postponed for one week

Some parties having claims against the city
which the Comptroller refuses to pay do not, 1t
seems, invoke the aid Of a mandamus to compel
the latter official to quidate the Indebtedness bus
bring suit directly against the city. Bernard
Garvey an officer OF the Superior Court, end
patrlck J. Hart, an efilcer OF the Common Peas,
brought suits In this Court to recover arreaJ ages
OF salary claimed to be due them. The evidence
showed their appointment and pc rfOrm-
ance OF the duties appertaining to such
appointments. The defence that the CoIap-
troller notified them that their services were no
longer required, and that such notifc alton was
made pursuant to authority conferred on him in
the tax levy OF 1870, giving him power of appoint
ment and removal OF such officers. The answer to
this was that the appointments wer made pur-
suant to the Code Of Procedure OF 1SI9 comforting
this power on The Courts themselves, and con-
firmed by the amended constitution, which, 1t was
claimed, no act OF the Legislature could take away.

amount of the claim

A boy eleven years old, in Detroit
named Ned Baker, who lives with his
aunt, can stimulate death so success
fully as to deceive any but an eNl ert.
For small compensation he will stretch
out upon the floor, cease to breath, ap-
parently, grow white in the face, affect
the rigidity of a corpse, and his pulses
become so feeble that the beating can
only he detected by practical finger
He yesterday went through his perform
ance in Il saloon on Woodbridge street
and so much like genuine death was his
counterfeit and the men who put him up
to the trick became greatly frightened
and bribed him to come out of his
trance. His breathing was so faint that
it could not be felt on the hand or check
and hardly dimmed the glass held down
to his lips. The hoy says the perform :
ance does not injure his health and he
can make himself so near dead that it
is only bya great mental effort that he
throws off the lethargy.
