SOMETHING IN GENERAL.
The GLOBE ambassador was thoroughly
impressed by his tour, with the efficiency
and discipline of the department. in all its
points. This is to the credit of Chief En-
gineer Strong, to whom let all honor be
sung. His assistant, VIM. Delany. is a use
full man on call. Nor must the mead
of praise be forgotten that justly belongs
to Aid. Grace, the chairman of the fire de-
partment committee. The expenses for the
past year footed up $24,883.12, of which
$2,244.13 was for new material and ST.
1876 went for salaries. Over this expendi-
ture, in all its details, Aid. Grace and the
chief have ever watchful eye, and, while
no extravaganza is permitted, they are care.

THE FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH.
This important branch of the fire depart
ment is under the superintendent of E..
B. Birge, the engineer of No. 4,
to whose excellent supervision its
constant efficiency is altogether
due. As the GLOBE has already specified
the statistics of this branch Of the service, it
is not necessary to recapitulate them. All
the men are required to learn and operate
the telegraphic code of the department., some,
having natural aptitude therefor, being
more proficient than others. Each house is
provided with Geographic communication
with the rest, and the chiefs Office in the
city hall. It is simple, merely consisting of
certain numbers of taps on small bell
representing the letters Of the alphabet, with
condensed code of sentences, a list of
which hangs over each instrument. By this
means the department can be signalled at
all points and much shoe leather saved, in
dependent of the main purpose of the wires.
The chief and the assistant engineers
houses are provided with fire alarms, the
formers icing regular gong.

THE RIVER.

The steamer Peninah, T. D. Mariner,
master, and Jack Hanna, clerk, arrived at
nine o'clock last night from Tongue river,
having made a remarkable trip, so far as
speed is concerned. The ttore keeper, G.
NJ. Cliff, furnishes us the following memo
randa Of the Peninah's down trip: June
sd-left Tongue river at 3:15 a. m; arrived
at Morgan's wood yard at II a. M, and left
there at ~ M; arrived at Fl. Buford at $50
p. M; tied up at Scotrs lower wood yard at
$50 p. m. June 4,h-started at 2 a. M.
took on wood opposite Kirby island at $50

below Little Missouri at 1:3O p. M; landed
at Fl. Berthold at $50 p. M, and left at 5
p. M; landed at Bismarck at 1890 p. m.
Running time from Tongue river to Bis
marck, down the Yellowstone and Missouri,
80 hours and 10 minutes. Distance, $40
miles. The trip from Bismarck to Tongue
river and return, carrying 200 tons up, and
coming down light, was made by the Peni.
nah in IL days and 4 hours, which Capt.
Mariner claims 10 be the quicke.t time the
trip was ever made in. The Peninah left
Bismarck at 6 p. M, Monday, laid up 1871
hours, and reached Yankton at nine o'clock
Wednesday evening, making her running
time 373 hours for 700 miles. During two
hours of ye,terday's run she made % miles
an hour. The Peninah met the c. X. Peck
fifty miles below Bismarck, the Black Hills
at Swan Lake, and the Far West just below
Brule. Capt. Mariner reports a still greater
rise coming down, and says he thinks it will
be all Of a foot higher at Yankton before
the maximum stage is reached. This is
what he calls the genuine June rise. The
Peninah will probably load here. If she
does she will get away Saturday for up river.

KILLED syAH HORSE.

A SON OF street Commissioner Genmill
Instantly Killed by Kick from His
Pony.
Thu sad and terrible intelligence was
conveyed to the residence Of VIM. Gemmill
at IL O'Clock last night that his son John
had been kicked to death by his pony. We
have gathered the following particulars
of the lamentable affair.
John left his fathers residence In this
city at about two O'Clock yesterday after
noon on horseback to 60 to their farm
which Is located about fifteen miles north.
east of this city. On his way out he stop.
ped at the residence Of Mr.. Hickey, and
while in the house his pony broke loose
and went on to the farm, compelling John
to walk the balance of the distance-about
i've miles. His older brother followed him
with q load of lumber, and upon reaching
the farm he found the pony which John
had ridden tied In the stable, but John did
not come out to meet him as he expected
He called his anne and receiving no an.
swell he went to the house but he was not
there. He then returned towards the stable
and a short distance from 1t he was horri-
fed to find the dead body Of his brother ly-
ing in the grass, face downwards. After
satisfying himself that life was entirely ex-
tinct, he alarmed the neighbors, and upon
an examination Of the body the print of a
horses foot was found Immediately over the
heart, from which it become apparent that
the young man met his death by a kick
from his horse. The supposition is that
after overtaking his pony at the farm he
caught and tied it in the barn, and as he
was passing out received the fatal kick, the
force of which threw him to the spot where
he was found, about eight feet from the
stable door.
Immediately upon receiving the news,
Mr.. and Mrs. Gemmill, accompanied by Dr..
]. B. Van Velsor, started for the scene Of
he accident. Upon arriving there. they
'ound that the body had been removed 10
he residence of Mr.. Smith, and that every
hing had been done that could be done un-
Ter the circumstances by the kind neigh
,ors. They procured a conveyance and
the body to town, arriving here at
O'Clock this morning.
John Gemmill, who thus met an untlme-
, and tragic death. was born on the 18th
f July, 1868. and was consequently lacking
bout one month Of being Is years old. For
ne Of his age he was Of large stature and
obust frame. He'was Of q kind and cour.
,ous disposition, and was well liked by all
'ho knew him. His sad and sudden death

sreavement.

church at 10 o'clock tomorrow.

SIOUX c,1rs DANGER.
Tho Missouri River ssekinR It's Old Cha"-
mol. through the Heart of the town.

Tho Missouri River SsekinR It's Old Chan.
mol, through the Heart Of the town.
The encroachment of tho Missouri river
upon the levee at Sioux City 10 becoming .
matter of serious importance to the proper.
ty owners of that city. The Journal OF
Wednesday says that all day Monday the
bank continued to drop away from q point
about opposite the foot of Nebraska street.
but 1t was not until Tuesday morning that
tho full import of the danger became ap.
parent. About half past 8 o'clock the bank
commenced falling away In great slices
from the foot of Douglas street for q dis
lance of fully one thousand yards eastward,
and for q couple OF hours great chunks Of
earth fell away in rapid succession along
the whole line. 1t was nota gradual wash
ing away, but a tearing out of huge blocks
Of earth, In some instances thirty or forty
feet long, BY ten wide, sinking out Of sight
almost i~nstantaneously. Just opposite the
Sioux City and Pacifce freight house the
river made an inroad of 40 feet IN two
hours, cutting its way to within 80 feet of
the building. The depot buildings. e'eva-
tors, warehouses. numerous small residences
and a considerable portion Of railroad track
are in danger of being swept away. The
Journal goes on to say:
1t is not so much the damage already done
as the danger which threatens US, and star
ties our people. \ u X At no point
along the whole Tenth of the Missouri has
1t been possible, we believe, to control 1t
when the time seems to have come for il to
change its course. The great trouble is
that there is nothing to build on. the bed
it's banks loose alluvial deposits. There is
little doubt but what is now the business
portion of Sioux City was once the bed of
the river. and stranger things have happen.
ed than that the channel of the Missouri
may yet again flow through what is now
Fourth street. 1t is hard to believe, how
ever, that it will be as bad as this, but We
should not be surprised If commencing at
a point near the foot of Douglas street the
river should cut across the bottom In q
northeasterly direction to a junction with
the Floyd. We do not care to seem to be
an alarmist, but on what ground can we
hope that the river will eat In but q short
distance, and then return to It's old channel?
1t is not in the nature of the treacherous
stream to do this. The entire bottom is q
light alluvial deposit. and can offer no more
resistance than do the present banks.
THE SITUATION TO-DAY.
A telegram from Sioux City this after
noon says that the river made considerable
yesterday afternoon, but OF much
today. Side tracks are being taken up to.
day. 1t is expected that the worst will
come when the river begins to fall.
