FIRE LADDER.-Yesterday at III O'Clock,
Capt. Sawyer with some of the Washington
Hooks and other volunteers at the India street
church, tested the Bangor Extension Ladder OF
which Gen. Joseph S. Smith of Bangor, IS
agent. The second ladder is run up or taken
down by the means of an endless chain acting
upon the two rounds as pully which is moved
by crank at The foot. The special advantage
of the patent is that by the means of hooks
which work with the extending machinery, the
ladders are made fast and safe whenever the
crank ceases TO turn. The invention appears
to be valuable one aud Chief Engineer Mer'
rill expressed a very favorable opinion. 1t
has been adopted in Boston, after thorough
trial.

The Judge is peculiarly fitted for
a judicial position by education and

the bench of his district in this state,

Congressman. He has served The
people of Kansas most ably and
faithfully in Congress for four years.
His position and influence in Wash

the fact of having bestowed upon

one, but it is just getting into cir
culation-that Jay Gould owns the
New York Tribune. 1t is stated
that after Greeley's death Gould
bought up a majority of the stock
and put Reid in charge. This is
not strictly accurate. The one who
furnished Reid the money to secure
control of the Tribune, is William
w. Phelps, a New Jersey million
are, late a member of Congress. A
short time afterward Gould came to
the assistance of the paper with
money, and has furnished a large
part of the sum used to put up the
new building. TO all intents and
purposes this paper is now Jay
Gould's organ, and is used by him
to bolster up Gould's Union Pacific
railroad, and to wage war upon
Col. Scott's Texas Pacific railroad
project.

THE S. O. PEARcE EXPLOSION.

The inquest in the case Of the explosion Of the
steam chimney on board the s. o. Pearee was con-
Guided yesterday at the Coroners' once. Several
witnesses in addition to those called last wednes-
day were examined, but no new facts were
elected. Ii was the opinion and belief Of all,
however, that the boiler Of the vessel In question
was entirely too small TO do the work required Of
IL, and therefore greater head OF steam than was
allowed W the government inspector had TO 90
carried. The captain OIL the boat was severely
criticised for not reporting TO the inspectors the
fact OF his engineer having been in the habit OF
carrying too much steam.
The following verdict was rendered by the Jury
after mature deliberatlon and a thorough examl-
nation OF the evidences
'N find tnat the death OF DAVID Kater, en-
gineer and James MahOney, fireman on board OF
the tugb0at =. o. Pearce, was caused by the ex-
posiOn or collapse OF the steam chimney OF The
said S. q. PoarCe, ana we censure those Ia charge
OF the boat as the time OF the explosion for not
using the proper precautions required by law.
We recommend that the Inspections OF tug or
Freight boats ne more frequent and enclenJ than
