PROBABLE ADJOURNMENT, TotDAY-ooNvTorroN OF
A wouLp-BE CHILD RAvIsHER- INDICTMENT OF
WEST.
The Superior Court and Courts of General
Sessions of the Peace and Jail Delivery and Oyer
and Termincr for Kent county, began their Spring
sessions, OH Monday last, at Dover All the
Judges were upon the bench-G1lpen, Wooten and
Houston.
The usual cases of petty larcency. &C., were
disposed Of on Monday and Tuesday, and the
General Jury returned true bills of indictment
against Isaac O. West, both for arson and muir
der i'm the first degree The case was then post
poned, on motion of his counsel, Hon. Willard
salisbury, until the Sd of June to which time
the Court will adjourn. Although the Court of
Appeals convenes at this time. the trial of West
will not take place in this Court, as has been
erroneously stated heretofore.
On Wednesday, the trial of John Carpenter.
(colored), for burglariousiy entering the dwell
ling of Darling johnson, In North Murderkill
hundred, near Camden, on the night of the 9th
OF May last with intent to commit an outrage
upon Eliza J. johnson, daughter OF Darling
Johnson, and only 13 years oil age, was begun.
The outrage was not perpetrated, but the intent
was oiclearly proven by colored boy to whom
Carpenter had expressed his intentions the morn
ing before the night of the attempt, that the
jury were only out twenty minutes ln their de-
liberations, when they returned verdict OF
guilty.
Entrv to Mr.. Johnson's house was made
through second story window by Carpenter by
means of ladder. Approaching the bedside OF
the sleeping child, he removed the bed clothing,
and thus disturbed her, when she ran down
stairs to her father. He assembled the stair way,
found Carpenter secreted under the bed, arrest
ed him and turned him over to the county au-
thorities.
The Court fixed upon Friday, the 9th day of
June, between the hours OF 10 and O'Clock, for
the execution of Carpenter.
But one civil case remained on the docket un-
tried when the Court adjourned yesterday, and
it is probable that an adjournment will be made
to day until the 3rd of June.

The Fire Department.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER.
The annual report OF George Mccall, Oh:ef
Engineer of the Fire Department, was submitted
to Council, last evening, and 500 popies ordered
to be printed. Several important suggestions
made, which will appear below.
During the year, there were AZ fires, two of an
unlmportant nature, and five false alarms. OF
the number of fires reported, ID originated in
stables. The value of property destroyed, or
damaged, amounts to $l4.9i0, which is covered
by insurance to the amount of $5.166.
There are in the department Steam Fire
Engines 10 Hose Carriages Hook anu Ladder
Truck; Z, 100 feet OF Forcing Hose in servicabe
condition, and 1900 feet unfit for service The
number of active members in the department
IL 7Ol,
The Chief Engineer says that, in no year of
It's existence, has the city been better supplied
with apparatus for extinguishing fires, and at
no period in the history of the Fire Department
has its efficiency been more seriously impaired
Tor the want of good hose to render that pre-
lection which is expected and required. He,
therefore, recommends that Council appropri-
ate 5OO feet of steam forcing hose to each COM
pany, giving to each organization the authority
10 make its own purchases.
Mr. Mccall is favorably impressed with the
usefulness Of fire ladders, and recommends that
an additional one of so feet in length be pro-
cured Tor the use of the Department, which will
cost about 800,
He also suggests an increase in the annual ap-
preparation to the Fire Companies to ~. 600,
that all Companies with steam engines may be
equipped with horses, and the department thus
become more serviceable.
The construction OF Fire Alarm Telegraph is
also recommended. In the opinion of the Chief
Engineer such telegraph, with 20 stations,
would not cost over $4,000. Or, if this be
deemed too expensive, watch is recommended
from the top OF the Clayton House or Savile
Building, 80 that by means Of an electric circuit,
alarms could be struck on the bell at the Oity
Hall. The cost of such system would be about
Sl75, but it is believed that this would be but
little Improvement over the present system.
The laying of larger water mains, wherever
and whenever practicable is urged, as the wateI
supply is insufficient when all the steam engines
are drawing their supplies from the present
ones.
The amendment of the ordinance 80 as to en-
power the Chief Engineer to suspend any Com
pany for cause, with the right OF appeal to
Council is believed to be necessary to preserve
subordination.
