that this signaling back, which is effected
through the Northumberland system in
use here, is source of great satisfac-
ton to the people of this city. That

alarm is sounded in Sacramento, the citizens
residing in the section sisnaled, and whose
property may be in danger, hear the return
signal s. fire out" before they can reach their
homes; and when the return signal comes
very soon after the fire alarm, it is understood
| that there has been 10 fire worthy OF notice.
! The San Franciscan replied that it was the
most admirable arrangement in connection
with fire department of which he had any
