One of the Questions Involved in the
Stumph Fire.


AS suggested in an editorial in The Star,
one question to be inquired into respecting
the fire at the Stumph factory, destructive
to life and property, was whether inatten-
ton to a private alarm was not in some
degree responsible The first alarm was
turned in from an automatic signal box in
front of the building, and 1t appears that
the alarm was sent in to the nearest en-
CINE house instead of being sent out as
regular alarm. The treasurer of the Ma
tional Automatic Fire Alarm Company has
written letter to the Commissioners call
ing attention to the way in which fire
alarms transmitted through the automatic
system are handled at fire alarm headquar-
tiers, they being treated as still alarms"
instead of regular alarms, thereby caus-
ing a loss of some time before in the case
of big fire an adequate number of engines
can be brought to the scene of the fire.
I'm the case of the Stumph fire." says
the letter in conclusion, even without the
assignment of special numbers, which, We
think, should have been given us at the
outset, the nearest street box number might
have been sent out from fire headquarters,
thus bringing to within a very short dis
lance of the premises the regular number
of engine companies, etc. As our alarm,
both manual and automatic, worked per-
fectly and the signal went practically
direct and instantly from our box in the
Stumph building to the central telegraph
station of the city, 1t would seem that a
loss of several minutes resulted from send
ing in the alarm to the nearest engine
house, instead of sending out the nearest
box number, because the alarm from that
box, as we understand, was not sent in
until engine No. 6 arrived in response to
the still alarm and found assistance neces-
sary. We write this not only for the pur-
pose of requesting that the city fire alarm
telegraph station be instructed to arrange
so that signals received from us will be
properly transmitted, but principally for
the purpose of requesting your honorable
body to thoroughly investigate the whole
matter and place the responsibility, If any
exists, where it fairly belongs. Criticisms
and charges have been made that some one
is responsible and we feel, under the cir
cumstances, that II does not lie with u.s."

Payne. has reported to the court in the case
of Butler against Strong, that the sum of
500. claimed by the receivers. VIM. F. Mat
tingly and Andrew r.. Duvall, appears to
be reasonable. The receivers were appoint
ed March 2, 1850. to take possession of the
100000 awarded in the case, but the treas
ury officials refused to deliver 1t to them,
holding that 1t should remain in their GUS
tody. The receivers were appointed about
2 o'clock in the afternoon and about two
hours later gave a bond in the sum of $780,
600. making demand for the award next
day.

that have been built in such a curious way.
A large part of 1t has been the work of
charity. The carpenters, the carvers and
other artists have come from all parts of
the country, and have worked a certain
number of weeks for the temple for moth
ing. 1t has been about fifteen years in
building, and when l first saw it six years
ago there were forty acres of sheds about
1t in which hundreds of carpenters were
cutting up great logs, which had been i'm
ported from the Island of Formosa, into
boards and hundreds of carvers were turn
ing other logs into real works of fine art.
Everything was done by hand and immense
beams. such as would be a load for a
team of Norman horses, were being carried
up onto the top of the structure by women
and men. A road about fifteen feet wide
had been built upon a scaffolding, making
an inclined plane running clear to the
roof of the structure. and hundred or so
men would catch hold of one of these logs
