FIRE INspEcrIoN.-The following petition is
in circulation and will be presented to the City
Council Monday EVENING":
The undersigned citizens and taxpayers re.
spectfully represent that in their opinion it
would more effectually promote the interests
and safety of the city, if the Chief Engineer
OF the Fire Department. in addition to the u.s.
ual duties OF his Office, be required to inspect
all new buildings while in course of construc-
ton, and as often as twice each year all build
lngs where fire is kept within the city limits,
to the end that all dangerous conditions, so far
as relates to fire, may be forthwith corrected;
and for this purpose he be clothed with police
authority, give his whole time and attention to
the service of the city and he paid suitable
salary therefor.
If in the opinion of your honorable bodies.
this would be impractible your petitioners ask
that it BE- made the duty of the City Marshal
to inspect all new buildings, aud that the fur
ther inspection above called for be performed
by him, or by suitable men of the police force,
under his special direction.

The sIege OF Happy HOLLOW


Six houses, and among them the
fortress commanded by Mrs. McCarty,
still stand in Happy Hollow, defying all
the efforts of the Board of Health to
batter them down and force the garri-
sons to surrender Mrs. McCarty and
her gallant allies in the other forts have
put the heads of the City Fathers and of
the members of the Board of Health in
chancery, and have successfully driven
of all skirmishers, sappers and miners,
etc., with injunctions and other fearful
writs issued from the Chancery Court.
From the Citadel McCarty the petticoat
flag waves defantly, and its graceful
folds flap aud hirt in the wind. The be-
siegers at first tried 20 purchase the
forts. Then they attempted to under.
mine them, but the wary besieged showed
them a trick worth half dozen such
movements. 1t may be months, years
nay, ages-before the city forces are
able to capture the citadel and all out
lying forts, no matter what may be the
fate Of the city in the meantime, and
even though half dozen epidemics may
rage or rise up from the filth of
Happy Hollow. The garisons have done
all this without money, as all the suits
we're commenced in the Chancery
Courts in forma pauperis.

PROBABLE MURDER.
MuIatto Girl Pound Drowned.


This morning the body of mulatto
girl was found floating in the river at the
foot Of Irrelevant street. Deputy Coro-
ner Mat Shelby held an inquest on the
body this afternoon and the jury of in
quest returned verdict to the effect
that the unknown deceased he'd come to
her death by having her skull fractured,
or from drowning or from some
other unaccountable occurrence which
indicated violence. The girl
was a bright mulatto, nearly
white and Of beautiful form. Her
clothes we're elegantly made, the under.
clothing especially being Of the finest
linen and lace. She wore a pair Of
costly CATERS Of the best make. Her
forehead was crushed in, which wound
had evidently caused her death. From
the appearance of the body it was clear
that she had been in the water two or
three days. The only thing of value
found on her person was dimein paper
currency, and nothing appeared before
the jury either TO prove her identity or
lead to the discovery of the real cause of
her death. No one has been missed either
on land or river 80 far as the authorities
could fud out, and the matter so far
remains a mystery, which may eventually
be cleared up, provided the authorities
take the matter in hand.

The Newspapers and the Water
GOmOanY.

In the Appeal of this morning W. L.
Cameron, Secretary of the Water-works,
published a card referring to local items
in daily papers with reference to the
Company failing to keep water in its
mains, and he requests all paying con-
sumers to report all such failures, etc.
Mr.. Cameron, in his card, seems to i'm
ply that the newspapers that published
such water failure, are not paying con-
sumers. We would like for Mr.. Cam
eron to answer the questions: Does the
LEDGER pay for water2 On what day was
the last bill paid, and if paid in money ?
Yesterday Chief of the fire department
McFadden informed our reporter that
on the night before there was no water
in the mains for considerable period
Of time.

Economy in The Kitchen.

Prudent housekeepers are ever on the
alert to practice economy in the cult
nary department. In no way can this
be done more e6feetually than in the use
of q Baking Powder which combines
purity, strength and reliability. DooL-
EY's YEAST POWDER has attained the
deserved reputation of being economical,
convenient and wholesome, besides
which it will produce from a barrel of
-four twenty-five to forty pounds
more bread, rolls, etc., than by the old
process Of raising dough with bakers or
hop yeast. Here alone is great saving.
and authorizes the guarantee that it will
give entire satisfaction. lSeod-d&w
