STEAM vsWATER PowER.-Therea are quite
number of establishments in this city that
i'll the past have used water motor for run
ming light machinery, presses, etc, and
regarded it preferable to steam, as it re-
moves in quite u measure the liability to
loss from fire, and being at the same time
more convenient and economical, and
requiring less space than boiler and engine.
The pressure from our city water pipes is,
however, so weak and uncertain that some
using water for this purpose are already
abandoning ii. \ uniform pressure of
thirty pounds would in many cases be
sufficient and successful, but those who
are using this power state that they cannot
se,saSyen upon that force, and that often
wheF they most need it, there is no pres
sure to speak of at all. This state of facts
speaks volumes in favor of substituting a
regular fire pressure OF sixty pounds, by
means of gravitation, through pipes from
mountain sources, whereby great advantage
would accrue to the people of the city,
outside of the healthfulness and pleasure
of drinking and using pure, clear water.
Among those who have been compelled to
substitute steam for motor for the reasons
stated, is the printing firm of Lewis q
Johnston. They had used water for some
time, but have now abandoned it. and have
lust put in a new boiler and engine and
Will run their presses and machinery with
them hereafter The new power was built
by ". X. Rose Il Son, of this city, and is a
fine piece of workmanship for the purpose.
In this connection it may be stated also
that Messrs Lewis Il Johnston have at the
same time much enlarged their premises,
added large cylinder press and otherwise
increased the capacity of the establishment
for jobbing and book work.
IDENTIFYING THE PLUMBER. Detective
Fuller. of Oakland, came up last evening
to identify such of the property taken from
the burglar Marshall as had been stolen

citizens have appeared at the statlon-house
whose places had been burglariZed, but
who had not reported the matter to the
ned by them. The piece of embroidery
proves to have been stolen from the resi-
dence Of P. H. Russell, but the family
were not aware of It's being lost until Mar
shall stated that he got it there. At the
time ne took it he nearly burned the prem
ises by accidentally igniting some papers
in drawer, but the closing Of the drawer
emothered the fire. Marshall says he en-
tered several houses from which he did not
take anything and the owners probably
never knew he had visited them. one OF
the rubber gossamer cloaks he got IN a
hosse on II street.-The thinks II was
where there was u safe, and he worked at
the combination of the latter about four
hours but could not open it. That visit
was probably never known.
