ROME, Feb. 2S-The Pope to-day re-
ceived deputation of citizens of the United
States, and Mr.. Glover, Of New York, read
an address. The Pope replied with hearty
thanks. BE said he would always pray for
a country so particularly blessed by God
with fertility of soil and industrious inhab-
itants, and he would ever pray for the in
crease of its blessings. He hoped however
that material things would not become the
sole affair of the American people, for an
excessive love of riches corrupted the hearts.

Fire Alarms and Other Projections.

firemen, insurance companies, owners of
| intiammable property, and citizens generally,
| are, or ought to be, interested in a system of
| fire alarms and equipments for fire service,
! that shall furnish comparative protection
from large and devastating confagrations
For small city, we ought to be duly
| thankful that our fire department is so well
organized. But still, the force is small, and
would be found altogether incompetent to
cope with the enemy with fiery wings should
it become fully aroused as it has been in
other places. The entire mechanical and
individual force of the department consists of
the steamer Cushnoc, 10 men, the Atlantic
and Pacific hand engines, so men each; hook
and ladder apparatus without an organized
company; Chief Engineer and his two assis.
taDts. That is the sum total of our public,
municipal reliance in case of fight With the
fire fiend, with the exception of some reser-
voirs. Of course some reliance is placed on
force pumps, KEEP. at hand and ready for use,
and the judicious application of few pals of
water at the opportune moment. Some help
may be expected from the fair weather and
sidewalk firemen, in kid gloves and fine
"close;" but our experience of twelve years
as fireman has not led us to take much
stock in the latter class. We had rather have
two firemen at the brakes, members Of the
company and taking an interest in the ma
chine, than a score of such.
But we started out with the intention of
making suggestion as to an improved system
of fire alarms in this city. Happily we have
been exempt from large fires for several
years; but with our present system of alarm
by pulling bell rope for few minutes, we
small until it gets to proportions that will
settle the question to the comprehension Of
ALL Aud there is the danger. The few mo-
ments lost after the first fame glows or the
first smoke appears, are hours of the most
precious time. But what remedy have we to
suggest? just this: Make use of the steam
whistles that are situated in different parts
of the city. Don't sound them all when an
alarm is given, as that will confuse the fire.
men as to the location of the fire. There is
whistle at Wyman's, at the Sprague factory,
at Lambards, at Aliens, at the shoe factory,
at the steam mill of the Kennebec Land and
Lumber Co., and possibly in other localities
that do not at the present moment occur to
US. Let the alarm be sounded by the whs-
tie nearest to the location of the fire, as is the
practice in the large cities, where the fire
alarm telegraph is used. Soma signal could
be used that would prevent all mistakes about
the alarm. The whistle might be sounded
for quarter of a minute to be followed by
three brief, rapid whistles, and these repeat
ed, perhaps; or any system of signals that
may be agreed upon by the department.
Some such system as this would prevent the
waste of precious time and much labor in
hunting up the location Of a fire.

Saccarappa, %. About . o'clock A. NJ. a
fire broke out in the dwelling house occupied
by B. F. Roberts, situated about mile from

attained such Roadway that but few articles
were saved. The house ami buildings were
valued at $500. Fully insured The
mother of Mr.. Roberts, with her grandchild,
a Miss Body, slept in the attic. The stair
case was in flames. The old lady and Miss
Body tried to force their way through the
flames but were driven back, and as last
resort were compelled to jump out of TIE
window. The old lady was picked up with
her head fractured and expired shortly. Miss
Body was not hurt by the fall, but was seri-
rusty burned on the arms and body and now
lies in 4 critical condition. 1t is strange
that their night dresses we're not scorched

is supposed that in attempting to force way
through the flames the intense heat roasted
the flesh before touching the thin garments
that covered them. A little child was also
badly injured.
