IConfinued from First Page. ]


NJ. HARRISON, of ILL.,, said he was opposed
to the false economy that had perya1d the
House. He held It TO the truest ecOnour erect
buildings when labor is cheap and the &X2le are
ready and willing to work. and when t. ~ cannot
get work elsewhere the Government should come
to their aid. There was no use in keeping money
locked up in the Treasury. It had better be put
in these public buildings.
Mr.. LORDS amendment was rejected.
Mr.. HURLBUT, of ILL.,, moved to ttrlke out
the whole para graph, and said he did 80 because
be wanted TO oblige his friend from Indiana, Mr..
HoLhAN,l who was absent. He thought that
gentleman would help to strike It out II he was
here, because this was not necessity and not In
the line Of economy.
Mr.. LANDERS, OF Ind, said It was evident
noying Mr.. HOLMAN.
Mr.. CONGER said members could now see the
fate Of reformer. Hero was Mr.. HOLMAN, who
for years had advocated economy everywhere ex-
cept in his own State, and the moment his back is
turned, his friends turn upon him and rend him.
[Laughter.l
The amendment to strike out was rejected.
Mr.. COX, of N. Y, said the Democrats had
been criticised for their economy; but gentlemen
must remember that the House had saved thirty
nine millions Of dollars, and all out of little
things, and gentlemen should not sneer at little
things.
MI LORD moved to strike out the appropris-
tiOn of e. 600 for Philadelphia and make IL
s25O, ,OOo, and said he did it because Mr. RANDALL
should apply the same rule to his own city as he
applied TO others.
Mr.. RANDALL said this was less than half of
the estimate.
Mcssfs LIE MoYNE and PAGE remarked sar-
castically that the amount ought to be retained
as reported us q reward to MIR. RANDALL's SER
vices on economy.
A motion to increase the amount was rejected,
and the item was retained.

RECORDING FIRE-ALARMs.

There have been many improvements Of late
years in the manner Of Transmitting alarms OF
FIRE, but none has been devised, in connection
with the present telegraph system, OF more i'm
portance than the Ennis fre-alarm telegraph
recorder, recently patented by young man in
this city. 1t has long been question how to
record alarms when they are received, other than
by counting bells, which are sometimes out OF
order and inaccurate. This small instrument
both makes permanent record of the alarm and
of the times the alarm was struck. One of the
recorders has been attached to the fre-alarm
gong in No. engine house for some time, and
opportunity has been given to see its workings.
The prOprietors Of the invention, Henry Ennis &
Co., Of this city, are confident that It will become
an indispensable part of every hre-alarm system.
1t has been shown by the tests of the instrument
that 1t points out the alarm box from which the
alarm is struck; also marks down the exact mo-
ment Of time the alarm comes in, and strikes the
alarm on an attached gong. 1t works entirely in
day last the bell Iailed, but the Instrument
recoruId the alarm perfectly. 1t is entirely new,
and the first instrument invented for recording
alarms in engine houses. As the matter stands
at present, an alarm lie struck on the bells, and
everything is confusion during the reception of an
alarm, anu the consequences are that the alarm
is often counted wrong, whereas this invention
effectually prevents any such mistake. 1t gives
an automatic record, which may be preserved for
reference, which in itself makes the instrument
valuable.
The fro commissioners of the city will give the
Instrument q thorough test. One Of the recorders
will be attached to the gong in the office Of the
beard, and at the next meeting. which occurs July
s, tcst will be made in the presence Of the Dis
trict Commissioners.
