The REASON WHY.-At the fires Tues
day night, there was considerable trouble
in sending alarms to the central Office tor
bell ringing. Superintendent Weeks and
his assistants yesterday morning visited the
boxes to examine them, that the cause Of
failure to operate might be learned. The
first box that was touched for the Third
District fire would not work, and the per-
son who made the attempt then tried two
more boxes, and still failed to obtain re-
sponse. The reason the first box would
not work was because the main lever,
which is worked by an eccen trio slotted
wheel, had become fastened below the
aforesaid wheel, in consequence of the
lubricating oil being hardened or gummed
By uncommonly cold weather-an emer-
gency quite unexpected. The other boxes
which we're tried are on the same circuit as
the above, and when one is out of order
the others will not act. In such cases the
first box off of the circuit should be called
into requisition. As Mr.. Weeks says, there
is no machinery so perfect that it will not
occasionally become disordered.

The MURDERoUs BURGLAR, BOwMAN.-
The Cincinnati papers Of the twenty
seventh instant contain very full particu-
lars of the murder of Policeman j. K.
Gallagher, in front of the Longworth
House, in that city, on the twenth-sixth
instant, by . man who gave his name as
Dunbar, but who was subsequently proven
to be Il. l.. Smith, alias Bowman, alias
Tute, a noted burglar who operated ex-
tensively in this city some time ago, some
particulars of whose criminal career were
furnished our readers Tuesday morning last,
given by Captain L. Malone. It.aPpears by
the Cincinnati Journals that Bowman had
boon on a regular spree. drinking freely,
and was ready for quarrel with anybody,
with or without provocation. On the eve
ming in question Bo wman walked up to two
gentlemen and Q lady who we're standing
on the banquette near the hotel, convers.
ing about their own affairs, troubling
nobody, and made use of some in
cutting words and actione, when he
fred two shots ct them, fortunately
doing NO harm, further than breaking glass
in street lamp. Officer Gallagher was in
the hotel at that time, and hearing the
NOISE naturally went to the rescue. On ap-
prosching Bowman he asked him what was
the matter and wassuewered by two shots,
both bullets taking effect in the officers
body, causing death soon afterward, that
is in about fifteen hours. From the moment
Al inn
he suffered terribly, once saying that if he
could only have his assassin before him he
would like to shoot him. The only other
request the unfortunate policeman made
was to see his brother, member of the
Cincinnati detective force, but that gentle
man was in this city at the time.
Bowman was arrested Immediately after
the shooting, and it was found that one Of
his hands was wounded, and it is intimated
that he shot himself. He refused to give
the police any particulars concerning him
self further than to say that he was an
engine maker. Chief Of Police Snelbaker
ascertained where the fellow had been
rooning and visited the house. A satchel
was found which contained burglars tools
and list of twenty names, with residences,
which, it lie believed, had been spotted by
accused to operate on; indeed, one Of the
places was recently robbed, which is con-
frmatory of the supposition. While Bow
man was in prison, and before the police
knew their man, he made some statements
that were subsequently shown to be false,
and he put on somewhat defiant airs. 1t is
quite clear that Gallagher had never before
eeen Bowman, consequently there could
have been no luminosity to prompt Bowman
to shoot him.
The information sent to Cincinnati from
this city by Captain Malone will settle the
villains case, at least as to identity.

FIRE ON CONSTANCE STREET.-Between
two and three o'clock yesterday morning
fire broke out in a one-story house at the
corner of Constance and Seventh streets,
building used as grocery and dwelling by
Mrs, Seigel. The house and stock were
entirely burned, and the loss is in the
neighborhood of $500; insured for $500 in
the New Orleans Mutual Office. The po-
liceman who attempted to turn in an alarm
at the proper box says that the keys would
not turn because the lock was very rusty.
