Matters in EgVDt.

CAIRO, ,Septembe 80. The authorities
consider that the Country generally
is so rapidly returning tOits normal
condition that further display Of
.orca in the provinces Is unnecessary.
The EXPLOSIONS at the rail way station
yesterday continued at brief intervals
for over three hours. BY tho energetic
efforts of the military, although they
were hampered by lack Of pumping
gear the fire was prevented from spread.
ing and finally gotten under. The pass
enger station was saved, but all the
freight sheds, containing ten days pro-
VISIONS for the army and about two
hundred trucks of ammunition, were
destroyed. 1t is reported on good au-
thority that five men were killed and
twenty wounded. The railway Off cials
express the belief that the fire was of
incendiary origin. They noticed that
trucks on two separate lines OF track
blaZed up simultaneously. Subsequent
to the first explosion two Arabs were
seized in tho act of firing trucks; a
third escaped. The fire began among am
munition captured from the Egyptians.
Some accounts attribute it to an acci-
dental blow on PERCUSSION shell while
the military, at the request Of the rail
way authorities, were removing the
ammunition which had been stored in
the trucks in the railway sheds for
some days 1t appears clear, however,
that the Arabs endeavored to spread,
if they did not cause, the fire. The
traffic of the railway will not sutfet
serious interruption. Troops patroIed
che streets last night.

Oar Fire EnGiMeg.

A short time ago the engine of the
Washington Fire Company was thor
oughly overhauled and rebuilt and
placed In service, and the Reliance Fire
COmpany's steamer has been repaired
and many additional improvements
made, which will prove beneficial in
case of fire. The Fame's steamer has
also recently been repaired, and the
other engines are all in first class work
ing order, 80 that the city is we'll guard.
cd by our fire laddies in case of large
fire which is liable to break out at any
time. The repairs to the engines men,
toned above have already been de-
sCribed in these columns, with the ex'
ception of the Reliance. This engine,
which has always done efficient service
in the past, will, by the recent improve
ments, do even more effective work in
the future. The Improvements to this
steamer consisted of new rotary
pump capable of throwing 100 extra
gallons per minute. A new heater has
been furnished to warm the current of
water as it flows into the boiler, which
great y facilitates the raising of steam
The engine has alsO been supplied with
a new hose pipe and new wheels, the
latter being painted with rich green
and gold, and the entire engine polished
up as bright as gold dOIltr. The
boiler. cylinder and signal lamps are
in German silver, while The water
tanks and bearings are nickel plated,
the whole presenting an attractive ap-
pearance as well as being a credit to
the company. The steiner now has a
capacity of throwing about 800 gallons
CT water per minute with 12O revolu-
tions and 80 pounds pressure, the jet
being estimated at 800 feet, after passing
through 100 feet OF hose. Steam can
be raised TO 160 pounds of pressure, and
at a recent trial 40 pounds pressure was
raised in five minutes. The Reliance
Company pay visit to New Bruins
wick, N, D., tomorrow and a good time
is expected.

ment will compare favorably with that

MONTHLY REPORT.
CrueItY tOR OhIld.

Saturday night James Dooley was
before the Mayor, to answer the charge
of cruelty treating and neglecting his
crippled child, a boy years of age.
The Society for the Prevention Of Cru
city to Children vas represented by
Austin Harrington, Esq. Several wit.
nesses were examined, who testlheu
that since the death of the Chlld's moth
or the father had neglected it in a
shameful manner. There was no eVi.
dence to show that the boy had beer
cruelty treated, although the neglecG
was clearly proven, and 1t was limited
by one witness that its lameness had
been caused by some member OF the
fathers family during fit of drunken
ness. Mr.. Harrington said that under
the circumstances he would not press
for a conviction, as the penalties were
very severe, but he would ask the
Mayor to give the prisoner reprimand
as 1t had been shown that he Isl drink
ing man and had not given the unfortu.
nate little one the care and attention
that its condition demanded. The
Mayor after warning Dooley that II
ever he was brought before him again
on similar charge he would impose
the full penalty of the law, and told him
he could go. Dooley afterwards went
to Mr.. Harrington, and told him that it
was not in his power to provide for the
child. After questioning him in respect
to his means, Mr.. Harrington agreed on
behalf of the Society to take charge of
the child to day, and see that it is pro-
vided for.

Novel Tandem Team,

On Wednesday evening Henry Luck
enbach attempted to drive across the
track of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at
Lancaster, in front of a moving loco
motive, when the latter struck the
wagon between the front and back
wheels. The back part of the wagon
was lifted up on the cowcatcher and as
soon as that happened the horse turned
quickly around to the left and ran in
TO the depot. He ran IN that way
ahead of the engine, with the wagon on
the cowcatcher, "a point in front of
the Adams exp 'ess office where the gu
gineer succeeded in stopping the loco
motive. During the whole of this
time Mr.. Luckenbach occupied his seat
in the wagon and when the eng 1e
stopped he started his horse and drove
away. Neither he nor the animal was
hurt in the least, and the only damage
to the wagon was the bending of AN
axle, and a slight injury to the wheels.
