ANOTHER CONVENTION.
Firemen Protesting Against Mr..
Blake's Fire Department Ordt.
nance,

Firemen Protesting Against Mr..
Blake's Fire Department Ordi.
nance.
Another meeting of the convention
composed of delegates from the Della
ware, Reliance, Washington, Water
Witch, Phoenix and Friendship Com
papies, was held in the Washington
engine house, last evening. VIM.
Hanna, of the Washington, presided.
The subject under consideration was
the ordinance recognizing the Fire
Department, introduced at the last
meeting Of City Council by Councils
man Blake, chairman of the Commit
tee on Fire Companies. The specially
Objectionable feature of the ordinance
is the section dividing the city into
two fire districts, and allowing but
four companies to respond to any one
alarm, unless a general alarm Is sound
cd. It was stated That the remon-
strances to the introduction of such
system now had between 900 and 800
signers.
The convention took no decisive ac-
tion on the subject under considera-
tion, but the prevailing idea seemed
to be to work upon the members of
Council personally, and induce them,
if possible, to defeat the ordinance.
After the meeting Chief Engineer
Tazewell stated that he had been re.
quested to inform the representatives
Of the different companies that the in
ventor of an electric apparatus for the
opening CT the stable doors of engine
houses and lighting the gas fixtures
therein had agreed to place one of the
appliances In an engine house in this
city, and to supply all the companies
with the invention provided they
would pay the expenses Of the inven-
tor, who is Baltimorean, during his
stay in this city.

INFLATIoN IN ENaLAND.-The rage
for bubble companies still agitates the
gentle, or rather the simple. mind of
the British investor. The last Eng
lish mails announce the registering in
one week Of thirty-nine limited COM
pauies, with a capital Of e5,3S5, 400,
the intended Investments ranging in
amount from 81, 900 up to 81, ,000.0 900
and the shares from 10 shillings to as
many pounds. Some of the enter
prises are genuine and quite likely to
prove profitable; others are of the
genuine "bubble" variety, and il they
ever fioated at all will involve the un-
happy investors who put their faith
and money in them in irredeemable
disaster.

FIRST EDITION.

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION seems
more alarming to-day than yesterday,
not that he is considered any lower, but
when a man is SO weak as he is each
day must serve to reduce his strength.
To this extent the Presidents condi-
tion is more alarming. Wehave been
slow to come to any other conclusion
than that he would recover. But the
news of the last few days seems 80
contradictory ofnews of the preceding
week that we fear the Presidents
physicians have been as much deluded
themselves as the public seems to have
been by their reports. They are old
men and this might easily be The case.

Correspondence of the GAZETTE.
Las night, the colored preacher ,as
reported in my last letter, preached
for US from these words, "and Jesus
came and spoke unto them saying al!
power is given unto me in Heaven
and on EARTH" He preached about
an hour, and acquitted himself we'll.
This morning commenced as usual,
prayer meeting at eight, and preach
Ing at ten by the kev. Geo. Cum.
mings. His text can be found in the
Second Epistle general of Peter first
chapter, fourth verse. The discourse
was a good one, pointing out the cor
ruption of all things earthly and the
moral nature of man and the utter
failure of culture or any thing con.
nected with 1t to raise man up or give
him new moral life. But this
spiritual-moral life was only to be
found in the Gospel, and christ was
the dispenser of this life.
The preacher this afternoon took
for his text, "Why set we here until
we die," second Kings 7th charpter
3rd verse. The young mans reason.
ing was good, and his appeal to sins
ners was very creditable.
HThere are not as many people here
as might be expected when we are
drawing 30 near the close. Our SER
vices were interrupted by light show
ers of rain. People wonder why there
are 80 few conversions, but all good
men and WON en- know what is the
matter.
