On Tuesday morning G. T. Holloway, of
Baltimore, shipped TO this city one OF his
Chemical Fire Engines. In the evening the
Westminster Fire Department, In full uniform,
headed by drum corps, took their hook and
ladder apparatus and the Holloway engine,
and after paradng through the streets, drew
up on the lot Of Col John X. Longwell. in
the rear Of the Court House. Here was as.
sembled four or Eve hundred people, drawn
together by the announcement that there
would be test Of the extinguishing qualities
Of the chemical engine. A large lot of
boxes, tar and oil barrels, straw and other
combustibles were piled up ready for the
match, and near by was smaller one. The
Department exercised with their ladders for
bali an hour or more, when the match was
applied to the smaller pile OF combustibles.
Before this was done, however, coal oil was
poured over the pile. The FIRE was exiin
guIshed with great rapidiiy by the extineuish.
eTs OF the Department, and to the satisfaction
Of the assemblage. The large pile was then
kindled, and after it was allowed considerable
Roadway, was played upon by the chemical
engine, aud soon subdued. More oil was
poured on, and the mass again fred, and again
exlinguished. This was done repeatedly aud
thoroughly. IL is claimed that these chemi.
cal engines are cheaper aud more effective
than the water engines, aud as our citizens
propose getting n fire engine, Mr. Holloway
sent one here to exhibit lis merits.

hard labor for robbery with violence.
After the removal of the prisoner he
expressed an earnest desire to commune
cate something of importance to the
judge. Mr.. Tchuchawoff, on hearing the
request, left his seat, and approached
the man, who, as soon as he was sufficient

dragged him by the beard to the ground.
and then, shouting, &C. You scoundrel,
you have sentenced me to three years,
have you? I'll teach you a lesson" pro-
ceeded to beat him with his fists. The
blows of the enraged assailant were so
heavy that the shrieks of the Judge were
heard by people on the third floor Of tho
building. The warden taken by sur
prise, did not offer assistance till the
judge was already on the floor, and then,
emitting to leave 90 his rife and using
only one hand, was unable to impede
Alexandrof in his attack until other
persons in the court co.operated in the
seizure of the prisoner. The nudge was
afterward found to have suffered so much
from the attack that he was unable to
move without the help of the oficera-

TwentY.9lx Years at Law.

The court of appeals of this state
rendered judgment last week in the now
historical suit against the New York
Central railroad, commenced in 1853, by
DR.. Mather Williams, of Syracuse, and
continued after his death in 1868 by hia
heirs. The decision, which is final, ia
in favor of the plaintiffs, adjudging the
defendants to pay them the original
amount sued for, $4,000, with costs,
amounting in all to $4,000 in round
numbers. The printed proceedings in
the various courts before coming to the
court of appeals cover nearly one hun.
dred pages. The suit was instituted
because the railroad company refused to
build bridge after traversiDg the lands
of the plaintiffs with their railroad. It
has turned out to be an expensive bridge.
