.__- r..._ .4- FIRES ’DURING THE YEAR. 1859 â€"â€"'â€"THE FIRE BRIGADE. (Fromtho Toronto Leader.) The Chief Engineer of the Fire Bri- gadepresented his annual report to the city Council last night. The document is a very lengthy but interesting one, con- taining much useful information and throw- ing out valuable suggestions for the greater protection of the citizens and their pro- pcrty from fire. it will shortly be printed for circulation. From the copy laid be- fore the Corporation we make the follow- ing abstract : There were, it appears,during the year forty-seven fires and forty-five false alarms. Of the fires there were 20 the cause of which was not known; 12 incendiary 3 I5 accidental. Of the false alarms, there there were 21 arising from burning chim~ neys; 12 from shouting in the streets ; 4 from fires out of the city; 2 from bonfires, and 6 fromtrivial accidents. The total number ofbuildings destroy- ed of all kinds was 86, and damaged 39. On these thelsss as nearly as could be as- certained was $52,940, the insurance on which amounted to 544,620. The loss of goods contained in the-buildings destroyed or damaged was $10,450, wluch Were in- sured to theexteutof$17,344.- It should be observed that while several of the suf- ferers by fire had no, insurance on their building and goods, others were insured for far more than the amount of their loss. . With regard to the supply of water, ' much improvement has been noticed with- in the past year in the promptitude with which water has been obtained at the by- drants at such fires as have occurred witlr~ in a I"‘:unnnlile distance" therefrom. The practice, however, of shutting off the sup- ply from the city on 'l'uesdays and Fridays and the nights following is still continued ' and likely to continm- so long as the feed- er and supply .rnain” is one and the some. The amount paid caiters and others for ’ "water delivered at fires M‘as $474 30; a large portion of this was for pnmtums for the first, second and thirdpuncheons. The CIlit‘I Engineer then rennrks on the advantage'ofa fire alarm telegraph, which in cities where it has been introduc- ed would not (many consideration be now (Ilspt‘nsetl with. The cost of connecting by telegraph the St. Andrew’s Market, Berkeley street engine house, EliZabeth street engine house, Knox‘s Church and Bay street engine house, or as mary po- "'lice stations, with a central station, would not excel-d $1.100. The apparatUs is very‘simple and the expense of keeping it in‘ordrr would be Very trifling. The necessity of a prompt and proper alarm being given on every Occa1ion of fire is next considered. \Vere the mem- bers of the fire brigade, remarks Mr. Ashfieio‘, confident that when their services Were'reqnired the alarm would be sound- ed, many 'of the false alarms that are of ouch frequent occurrence, to the great an- noyance of the citizens and injury of the origin. 5 and other apparatus of tho Brigade, would be avoided. In ,order to give a prompt aln-lu it mould be. necessary that there should be a- hellâ€"towor in a central locality. The Bay street on inc-house is 'n'very eligible’site and would also afford the foundation and first thirty feet of the building. The eXpense of such an under- taking would be. comparatively trifling. and . ifcarried into effect might well be classed with the best rconomy of the year. The remainder of the report is devoted to statistical tables, showing in detail the description of buildings destroyed or in- jured by fires, the names of the owners and occupants thereof, the amount of loss co and insurance, together with the names ’ of officers and members of the Brigade. ______ M._I_~i ‘â€" w-m COUNTY COURT AND. COURT OF QUARTER SESSIONS. (From the Globe.) The Court opened yesterday at the usual hour, Hon. S. B. Harrison presiding; R. Machell Esq. M. Lepper. E-q., Rice Lewis., and XV. J. Mitchell, Esq., As- sociates. CHARGE OF HORSE STEALING. Jas. McDarmid, an Cold man about sixty years of age, was arraigned on a charge of horse stealing. He pleaded “ not gulls ty.” Prismmr was a member of the once notorious “ Markham gang,” and there are several other charges against him for horse , stealing. Hts HONOUR agreed to transfer the case to the coming Assizes, as it is ex- expected that several other indictments will be preferred against McDarmid at that court. ' ’ . A dreadful murder was perpetrated in '- Cincinnati last Week. A man named Patrick h/IcIJIugh, with his wife and two children, were visiting at a friend’s house. The wife, refusingtcfgi-ve her husband the liquor hedesircd, placed his arm round her neck, as iffor the purpose of embracing her and cut her throat with a razor, killing her instantly.
