THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PATENTS.
Probability that the Full Amount Claimed
BY the Patentees Will Be Paid.

It is probable that the Council will, at the next
meeting. favor giving the compromise sum, S.
600, to Walker. Egan s. Treat for the use of the
electrical apparatus for opening doors and un-
hitching horses il the engine houses This will
not be done however, without vigorous en-
deavor on the part of the councilmen who favor
the So, 600 proposition. One of the latter said
yesterday that the $8, 600 men had been indus
tFiously looking after the interests of the claim
ANTS. which gave them, he supposed, sufficient
strength to vote that amount. Their main arcu-
ment is, "If we give the owners of the patent
$S, 600. no matter whether not it is an eSces-
siye value, the city will escape suit, which the
owners will bring if any less sum is voted. They
won't accent $1,000 even. as they say they have
already discounted their original demand by
81 600,
There are two patents, one invented by Sic
bert, once member of the FIRE department
which unhitches the horses, and the other by
Blake, applied to opening the doors. Chief Web
ster says either is valueless without the other.
Siebert, the city claims, gave free use of his
atty or other remuneration and it was not until
the two patents passed into one ownership that
any demand was made upon the city for pay
ment for the use of either one. This demand is
supposed to cover the time Siebert held his pat
ent, and in which he allowed the city to use it
without cost. 1t is on this concession of Sic
berts that the supporters of the 50, 600 PROPOSE

server to keep a record of all questions asked

the close of the proceedings her son, whom she
expected, not being there to accompany her
home, she went alone. On Liberty street, just
south of Washington, burly fellow stopped her
Mrs LaPorte deliberately pulled 22-caliber
revolver from her pocket, and pointing it at the
mans head, which was only an inch or two from
the muzzle, advised him to leave. The fellow

on Elizabeth street. Nelson came in somewhat
under the influence of liquor. In the course of

The carrier of the ten-cent delivery letters
in this city has not been overburdened
with mail thus far. During the month of
October there were but 20 Of these letters
received at this office and forwarded to their
destination. or about one a day. The regular
delivery seems to largely supply the needs of
the service in this city. There being three
regular deliveries day, it will be seen there
are only one or two trains when mail does not
at once reach the person for whom it was in
tended. The Post Office Department has is-
sued modified circular of instructions to post
masters concerning the special delivery ser
vice. The new circular includes postal cards
and sealed packages in the matter entitled to
special delivery if properly stamped. Where
the business is so limited as to preclude the
employment of regular messengers, the post
masters are directed to make other arrange
ments for deliveries. having regard to the
provision of law that forbids the payment of
more than s cents for the delivery of each
letter.
