"A Matter for the Consideration of the
Board af Underwriters.
Some time ago Solerence was made In the
DEMOCRAT. on the authority of an experienced
fireman. together with documents Of reliable
nature, to the English steam fire engines.
such as are used By the English ad-
mtralty the London fire brigade and
other departments Of the English govern
ment. great many points OF advantage
claimed over the American engines were men,
toned at the time. The superiority. however.
III the English engines seems to be due to their
long stroke and the mo terate speed at which
they are run, enabling the pumps to oil we'll
and constantly. the change Of direction Of water
having no i'll effect.
An imp orla ant advantage which was not men
toned lii the first reference to these engines.
lies In the fast that water is supplied to the
boiler by direct acting feed pump which can
either take its supply from, the main pumps or
from separate source such as q bucket la sim

engines when the water is too. foul to put into
Field boilers from Its perfect circulation can be
worked, 1t is claimed, with foul water.
Another arrangement ter feeding ding TIE boiler

boiler at each stroke.
,Athird arrangement is by means q 9 porta-

AS vas stated previously, one Of our fire COM
panies will probably resolve to introduce one of
these MerrYweather engines Of medium class.
or equivalent to second class American en-
CINE. A portion of the money has already been
obtained for the purpose. and the advent OF the
new steamer will depend on the rapidity with
which tue remainder can be collected. 1t is.
therefore. not inappropriate. under the circum,
stances. 20 call the attention OF our Board OF
Underwriters to the fact. for 1t would certainly
be OF material interest to them that the English
steamers should be adopted here las they have
been by nearly all the European governments),
should The extraordinary Qualities and power
claimed for them be true.
The correspondence which has taken place
between our informant and the manufacturers
says in plain words that the article is guaran-
teed. and failure to satisfy will result in the
refunuing Of the money.

A Talk with Leading Oculists on the
Prevailing Epidemic

IA - tIlh Will LE6OlHEs ocullSLS Oh the
Prevailing Epidemic.
For some weeks past 1t has been observed
that catarrhal Inflammation Of the eyes had
sprung up In this city. and was assuming an
epidemic form. In order to ascertain the Ma
ture. extent. cause and type Of the distemper d
reporter Of the DEMOCRAT called upon the dis
tinguished oculst. Dr.. Cornelius Beard, and
requested him to give his opinion on the sub
lect.
DR.. Beard Informed our reporter that there
seemed to be an Epidemic Of severe catarrhal
lufamm alton of the mucous membrane Of the
eye, attended with much pain, photophobia
lachrymation and discharge of mucous matter,
The doctor further said that. though quite pain
full. the disease was not dangerous. 1t taken in
time. at its Inception. the Inflammation yields
readily TO treatment, and disappears entirely
after ten or twelve days.
This affection. however. should not be neg
lected, as all disea, es Of such delicate OrgIn
as the eye should be promptly attended to. The
Doctor has now under TIT alment five or six
cases OF that kind. and says 1t Is difficult to de-
termine Ii the sickness can be attributed to at
mospherte Influences,
DIR. Ct. b. Lanng was also seen by our reporter.
DR.. IannE says that there exists in this city a
sort OF epidemic Inflammation Of the eyes,
which he considers contagious. He does not
thtnk 1t dangerous at all, and treats the affec-
ton as q simple Inflammation, which disap-
pears after a few DAYS treatment. The Doctor
says it cannot be definitely ascertained by what
Influences the disease ha, been called into ex-
iSrtnce.

PRIVATE MARKETS.
The Supreme Court Refuses the Writ
Asked for by Appellants.


Francois Lamaraue. the keeper Of private
market. applied yesterday to this court for q
writ Of prohibition to restrain the Hon. 3. Mil
tenberger, Recorder of the Second District
from causing petitioners arrest or imposing
any fines upon him under ordinance No. 47es Of
1878.
He AYERS that the fine authorized by that or
dinance has been imposed upon him by the de-
fendant in eight different proceedings, and that
he has taken suspensve appeals from each Of
those Judgments. which appeals are now pend
ing In this court; that he has now sued out an
Injunction from the Sixth District Court re-
straining the city and police authorities from
enforcing that ordinance against him: that,
Notwithstanding the tendency OF those suspen-
sive appeals and of the Injunction suit. the re-
eorder still persists in entertaining prosecu-
tons and imposing fines against him and will,
unless prohibited therefrOm. continue 30 to do.
thus rendering the appeals and Injunction nu-
gatory. as petitioner would be compelled to
close his place of business under arrests and
fines without limit. which he could not endure.
Upon this application the following order was
made By Chief Justice Manning:
The petition on its face shows that the relator
is not entitled to the writ Of prohibition. He
has the Same remedy by appeal from the future
infictfoD of fines. that he has exercised as to
those inflicted in the past. Under the guise Of
a writ of prohibition, he is seeking to obtain
from the Supreme Court an original Injunction
to prevent an aDprehended Interference with
his alleged legal rights.
The writ Is refused
