AT 10 Sunday evening an alarm of
fire was sent in from box 26 at the corner
OF Carpenter street and Glassboro Road.
The department never responded with
greater promptness, and at IS both COM
panies were on the ground, but there was
no evidence of fire, and only crowd Of
curious colored people was to be seen. The
department has offered reward of $40 for
information that shall lead 10 the discovery
of the person who pulled the alarm, but as
vet nothing has been learned. Besides the
unpleasant feature Of such call, is the ex-
pense to the city. We are informed that
the actual money cost is nine dollars, be-
sides the wear and tear of apparatus It
is earnestly hoped that if any person has
knowledge of the identity Of the person
who pulled the alarm, they will make it
public-if they are good citizens they win,
irrespective Of the reward.
