the water they are capable of delivering
can be conveyed to almost any distance by
relays of fire engines. To be sure, the
steam engines are not SO convenient for this
purpose AS were the old hand engines, since
they lack the box which served rs tank.
But large casks placed on the ground could
be used for this purpose, the water dis
charged into them by one engine being
taken up and carried on by the hose of the
next, and so on tor an indefinite distance.
But if the distance were long it would re-
quire long line of engines to supply one
at the scene of the fire, thus practically
disabling great par. OF the force.
If four supply engines were inter-
posed between the river and the one which
viously require five engines to do the work
of one drawing it's water from the hydrant.
The rivers are, therefore, a resource only for
short distance from their shores. The
hydrants attached to large mains in remote
streets could also be used with similar
Limitation as to distance. The objection is
that it would require several engines to do
the work of one, and in great confia-
grafton they might all be needed at
the fire. But this temporary resource
might, for lack of better, do in some
localities. The third is the construc-
ton of rather capacious tanks at the
corners Of streets where the mains
are too small and the distance is consider
able to large mains in other streets This
method would not cripple the force by con-
verting engines into mere carriers of water
from distant points, but it would be at
tended with expense and would create un-
slightly excrescences at the street corners.
Yet anything is better than to have all the
property of the city constantly exposed to
sudden destruction.

Swfll Meat.

How far any one evil reaches in it's prac-

tell, and in illustration of this truth may be
cited the possible uses of distillery swill
Hitherto this fluid has been heard Of ex-
cusively in connection with the swill milk
disclosures. How the cows in the distillery
stables were fed on this innutritious and
stimulating liquid until they rotted away
as they stood on their feet in the close
stalls, and how the milk drawn from them
in their necessarily unhealthy condition was
sold to the public and became fruitful

shown up in forthcoming trial against the
keepers of some stables on the Brooklyn
side where beef is regularly "fatted" for

the legitimate sense of the word. 1t may

The Funeral OF Alvin Adams.

The founder of great business system
which extends over the civilized portions OF
the globe was yesterday buried with sim
pie ceremonies, but with due honors, at
Mount Auburn. The obsequies Of Alvin
Adams were honored by the presence OF
hundreds of eminent men OF all profess
sions, who wished to pay respect, not only
to departed friend, but also to the memory
of one Of those great representative business
men who impress their ideas upon their
time. AS the organizer Of the express sys-
TEN which will be always identi-
fed with his name Alvin Adams
facilitated by methods almost wholly new
the trade of the continent Forty years
ago, when he began the express business,
neither he nor the few persons he employed
dreamed of the magnitude it would assume !;
but it followed the development of the rail-
road and the steamship, till not only the
United States but Europe, Asia and Aus
tralia were included in the network Of its
agencies. A few years ago Mr.. Adams said
that always in some quarter of the globe the
sun was shining on his name-a nobler boast
than that of England that the roll Of her
drum followed the sunrise round the globe.

Adams, by intellect, honesty and industry,
achieved fortune and fame, and will be re-
membered as one of those great men of
business who in this age and in this country
have been largely instrumental in building

Savannah and Charleston.

We did not quite do justice to Savannah
yesterday in the comparison we made be-
tween it and Charleston as to their respec-
tive shares in the cotton trade. What we
ought to have said was that in the
year just closed Savannah lost and
Charleston gained, but not that the gain
was sufficient to put Charleston ahead. Sa-
vannah lost al, 536 bales and Charleston
gained As, 7CO bales. There is some dis
crepancy in the figures as given in the
papers of the two cities, and we have taken
the Savannah figures of the Savannah Ne'os
and the Charleston figures of the Journa. of
Commerce of that city.

Rapid Transit and the Next Legis-
1ature.

Rapid Transit and the Next Legis-
lature.
The friends and advocates of rapid transit
should not forget that now is the time to
work if they wish to defeat in the next Legis-
lature the selfish corporations who have so
long retarded the legitimate growth Of the
city. This is the great and important ques-
ton for New York at the present time. In
comparison with it the political complexion
of the Legislature, the rise or fall Of parties,
is not Of the slightest consequence. All
classes of the community are interested in
1.-THE men who have property as we'll as
those who have none at all. New York will
never occupy the position she ought to
hold until the lower and upper portions
of the island are brought into rapid
communication. Taxes cannot in the
nature of things be reduced until this is
accomplished, and the tenement house evil
will prevail until the problem has been
solved What are the friends of rapid
transit doing? There were large meetings
on the subject some time ago. Why have
they been discontinued? There should be
a rapid transit party started in every ward
in the city, and no man should be sent to
Albany who is not pledged to vote for the
measure. The workingmen and taxpayers
have the whole thing in their hands if they
will only exert their strength and send men
to the Assembly and Senate who will not
betray them and become the tools Of the
street car companies. Let us have rapid
transit agitation and show the political
managers that New York is in earnest in
the matter

The Suspicious under which the Connecticut
State Prison officers have rested for some time
have been fully justified by the flight Of one of
the keepers, who, it it has been ascertained,
was implicated in the recent attempted escape
which ended in the murder of the unfortunate
watchinan. Arms and money were com
veyed to the conspiring convicts by
tho guilty official, who was, Of course,
bribed for his services. These revelations in
regard to the New England prison will possibly
supply a hint as to the escape of prisoners from
other jails, and particularly Sing Sing. short
time ago a convict succeeded in getting out OF
that place under circumstances which plainly
point to thecomplicity Of one orlmorc OF those
appointed to watch him.
