THE FIRC-ALARM. ‘The third annual report (though the system as been in operation fourteen vears) of Supt. Barrett, of the Fire-Alarm Teiceraph, shows that the spparatus in use consists of 312 miles of wire, 3,032 polls, 471 alarm-boxes, 1,100 Lat- tery-jars, 13 sets of striking-machivery, 13 beil 43 gongs, 82 automatic registers,—** jokers,”- and 15 dials. He recommends that ‘‘keyless doors” be put on all the buxes. The lines are in first-class condition, owing to the rebuilding and refitting, snd not a mistake was made last _year ip receiving and transmitting alarms. He urges the use of separate wires for sending out slarms from the office, since, while 50 doiny, under the present plan, an alarm came in, it could not De re- ceived, the street boxes being .substantially disconnected.

Masor Heath .spent all day Fridsy upon the Aporopriatiun biil, carefully conridering all its | woints, and went home tired out. Yesterday morniny he returned 1o the attack, and when he finished he Gre & up 8 rough sketch of bis ideas and tarned {t over to Corporation Counvsel Bon- fleld, who was coeazed upoa it the greater por- tion of the afterocon. The writer had a con- Yersation with the Mayor yesterdav rezarding 1he possibilities of a veto. His Honor said he thonght the appropriation was too high, und if it was iu bis power to do so he should like to at some of he lems down. Howeser, there rigl o was 2 question a3 to lus 7 do so0. He could veto the whole billy then the Council could go on, i it Gid not choose to pass it over the veto by 3 two- thirds vote. and get up an entirely new vil, soing overall the ground again.

NEw York, March 15.~The third successful week of Mr. Mapleson’s sccond opera season here closed this atterncon with a performance of “Lucia,” at which standing-room was at a premium. The representation of * Puritan™ Wednesday pight was considered by many of the critics as the wmost perfect per- formance of opera ever given in this country. The chief artists were repeatedly recallea. The first performance of Marchetti’s “Ruy Blas” last eveuing was a brilliant suc- cess, There was an overflowing and delighted audience, and the enthusiasm rose to a higher piteh than at any time since Mme. Gerster made her debut in *“La Sounambula.” [t is brob- able that this opera, which has been given here but once or twice, and badly, some years ago, will become a favorite @s it becomes known. Smooth and finished performance and uvusuval evidences of approval in the shape of-cencores and cails before the curtain werethe distineuisn- ing features last evening. The operais melodious and strongly written, with plenty of effective incidects, which the composer has- cleverly adapted. It is skillfully worked up to a climax, the third and fourth acts being the most notice- able, both musically and dramatically. In the first act Signor Galassi had a grand opportunity for the display of his uncaunled abiiity iu the solo expressive of his batred of the Queen. A chorus at the conclnsion of the act was also an interesting number. in the sécond act Mwme. Roze rave with great beauty the Queen’s soug, “O Mia Dolce Alemazpa.’” The duet and chorus, one of the best pieces of composition in the opera, were well dune. The third act con- tains much that s attractive, and was sung with spirit and artistic skill, the asting being indeed perfeet. The priucipal numberis a duet be- vseen the Queen wnd Juy DBas, which Mme. Roze ond Siwnor Campauni ren- dered with consummate ability, aud were soreed to _repeat in renouse tu persistent up- plause. The fivzle of this act, in which ali the rinzipal singers und ihe chorus ere engazed, is oune of the best parts of the' opera.

As po such las been wade provision 8s above stated for these people, thed having evidently been grossly acceived for some malicious purpose, and in view of all the cir- cumstances in the ense, Mayor Overstolz this afternoon jssued a proclamation warning all persons against coming to St. Louis without money tosupport themselves and to pay their fare 1o their destination.

MRS. UNDERRILL. Result of the Examination at Ar- lington Heights. She Ts Held Without Bail to Await the Grand Jury's Action, 2 Mrs. Underhill returned from Arlington Heizhts to the city yesterday, under charge of a Deputy-S , and resumed ber forced resi- dence in th€ jail, having been bound over by Justice Dunton to await the action of the next Grand Jury. As was explatned yesterday, the total lack of facilities, unless one * hoofed” it into the city, for getting news from the Heiznts after 5:20 o'clock in the afternoon prevented Tue TrIBUNE, in its issue of yesterday morn- ing, from presenting an account of the vrevious evening’s proceedings belore Justice Dunton. In time it may dawn upon the minds of the denizens of that suburb that a telegraphic con- nection With the city wouldn’t beabad thing, but at present there is a most plentiful lack of accommodations in the way of communication between the two points, and the newspaoers as well as the inhabitants simply have to make the best of it. [t was possible. yesterday, however, to catch up with the proceedings, and the reader is therefore cnabled to go on with the story in all its completeness up to date. It appears that there was no particular diffi- cuity encountered fu zetting Mrs Underhill out of jafl and m removing ber to the country. Deputy-Sherlff Blum, presented bis order to the Juiler, ot Lis prisoner, and dispatched word to Mr. Woodbridge to meet him at the train. Mr. Woodbridge was there, and the twoarrived at the village about 6 o’clock, Mr. Woodbridge in- terposing ‘no technicalities whatever. A con- tinuance was taken until 7, at which hour the examination was resumed in the Justice’s hall, in the presence of about ball the people in the town. MRS. DUCKLAND was recalled by the prosceution, represented by Mr. Wilson and Col. Shirley, and testificd that old man Underhill. was opposed to the sale of his household goods last fall, while Mrs. Under- bill favored it, in fact demanded it, and im- pressed ber demands by golnzx for tbe old fellow with a club, and, to make matters worse, said she bated and despised bim anshow. The old man particularly wanted to save a certaiu picture, but she wouldn't bear to it, und it was sold. In reference to ier Jetter 1o slrs. Jobnson, suggesting that ‘‘Susfe takea Iriend’s advice,” she sald she supposed Mrs. Johnson gave it to Mr. Woodbridge. She then proceeded, In her voluble way, to explain what she meant by certain _expres3ions used therein, ail ot which was set forth in yesterday’s Trin- usE. She further testified fo meeting Mrs. U, in Chicago aloug in December, 1878, aud the lat- ter then told her that the old man was sick, had lost the use of his legs, aud that shie had left hiwn at home, although a very cold day,ina feeble condition. ‘The pext witness was a man pamed Van Gord- er, who testified that he helped luy the old ‘man out, and noticed that the pit of his stomach was all drawn iu untiiit wis no thicker than wit- ness’ two bunds. In other words, the old man was nothing more than skin and boues. Wit- ness thought he had been starved and frozer to death; in fact, the old man’s feet were irozen when witness went there. DR TAWES 'was called, and testified substantially to what he told Tne TRISUSE reporter Friday aiternoon, insisting that it was old age, waut of suitabic nutrition, and exposure to the eold that caused the old man’s deatn, aud not old age alone. If be had been fed as witness directed, he would probably have gotten beiter. In his opinion, the raising of a window in weather such as then prevalled, and its being left open all night, with the draught com- ing in on the old man, could mot but have re- sulited fatally. Mr. Woodbridee appeared to think the Doctor about the only witneas who was worthy of any- thing like 8 cross-examination. and medlcal science and jurisprudence tried to get the best of eachrother for some little time. The Doctor steadily maintained that thc old man had a good appetite, could eat well if he bad anything nutritious Lo eat, and that there was no reason for his goinz off if he had been fed well and otherwise taken care of. Mr. Woodbridge, on the other bund, drew forth an admission from ihe witness that the old man’s daily excreta re- vealed the presence of diwested food, and sub- sequently usced this admission in his argament toshow that, with this evidence 6f bealthy diges- tion, starvation was out of the question. ME. E. A ALLEN testifled to hearing David Jobnson charge Mrs. U. with baviog thrown a pail of water on the old man, with having turned him out of the Bouse and kept bim ont all of ooe bight, and with having kept bis food and tobacco from him, ail of which she then admitted, and begred the old man to withdraw the aiorce proccedings wien pending, promising to do better by him. Mr. Allen ulso testified to hearing them quarrel~ jur, and her calling bim “ a dirty old hog,” aud wishing that he was out of the way. At another time she snid in witness’ presence thut she hated the old maun, and would never cook for him or do aoything for bim any more. Mr. Allen, 1t will be remembered, kept about 31,700 of thé old maw’s money while the divorce pro- ceedings were pendiog. Mrs, U. got an order from the old man’ for the money, pre- sented the order to Mr. Allen, got it, und then, as Mr. Allen testified, represented that £100'0f it was golng to the old country to pay a debt, while to the old man she told quite a differeut story, namely, that they (ber neigh-~ bors) had stolen it. Mr. J. N, Oluisted, the village Postmaster, corroborated much that Mr. Allen ad tesuified 10, adding that- Mrs. U., at a certain sociable, when reproached for her treatment of the old man, admitted the charge and promised to do better. The next wituess was BETSEY THORISON, aservant at the house during a portion of the time when the old man was sick. From her sirapping size, &he has earoed the sobrouet of “Biz Betsev.”. She was recalied and testiied that the window in the o/ man's room was up during his sickness, and that when she tried to put it down the ice was frozen on the casement s0 that it couldn’t be closed. 7The weather at this time was very cold, and the old wau’s bed- clothés consisted of Lwo thin comforters. She wouldn’t eat there hersslf bocauee the tood was £0 bad, and for three duys the ola man mselC didn’c cet but one meal. When she spoke to Mrs, U, sbout him, the latter replied that she hated the dirty old hog, and aido’t waat to cleau up aiter him. On the cross, Mr. Woodbridge endeavored to show that the witness did washing for Mrs. Ul und took the clothes home for that purpose, whick migbt account for k- ing nher meals in the house. S adraftted taking the washing out, but insisted that her reason for not eating there was that the food was 1ot it to_eat. ¢ the sick-room hadw’t anything to do, either, with her taking Ler meals outside. MR, E. WILLIAMS X testified that, at Walton’s sale, when the old man and his young wife were there, Samuel Way- oo catie up and accused her of haviug treated iier husband shametfully, adding that slie ought to treat him better, because he was good to her, and she had married him for his mouney, and ought, if for vothing clse than out of a money consideration, to be good to him. Her reply was that she hated the old_mau,—hated the ol devil,—uand wished he was dead, und be shouldn’t enjoy the progperty anyway, althouzh she would. Mr. Woodbridee, on the cross, made it ratber apparent that Wayman’s manner on that ocea- sion was not exactly caleulated to sooth, any one, and -that possibly Mrs. Underhill’s anger was somevwhat justifiable. DAVID JOINSON testified that he was.interested in pushing the divoree proceedings, koowing thut she wasa bLad woman and that she abused the old man. At the time of the latter's death he told her sh2 ad starved ber husband and killed him. Eli Abbs was recalled, and testified that during the old man’s sickness he was at the bouse, and all the foud he saw was a big cake on the tuble that looked like corn-cake. The old 1nan’s room Was very cold, and he heard Mrs. U. say she dida’t like the old man, didn’t propose {0 feed him, and wished be was out of the way, for he was a dirty old hoz to keep clean, any how., A Mr. Ellis gave the measurements of the room, the windovw, the bedstead, etc., locating’ the bed near the window, where it was directly in the way of the draught when the window was raised. MRS. HISBY = testified that the old man scemed very much afraid of his wife. She bad beard the latter say that she wouldn't cook for him, and use very bitter language woen speaking of him. Witness also saw the old mon’s black and blue ege, given him by his wife in one of her tantrutms. ‘The prosecution rested here. Alr. Woodbridge demurred to cousiderable of the evidence, dz\%m[ng that it did not even prove starving and freezing, much less Dvolsoning,— ‘The smell of which Jatter charge the prosecution seemed to have abandoned. i Loury siid he would hardly be justified in ddx?‘c arging the prisover winder the evideuce adduced. any testimony to offer. Mr. Woodbridge, referring to what the Court had just said, remarked 1hat he would put v RS, UNDERMILL herself on the stand. There was a good deal of uncontrollable laughter as he proceeded to in- terrogate ber, but he opesed out on the crowd i & vigorous wuy, which had the effect of put- ting a stop to the unscemly bilarity, The pris- oner tried very bard to make it appear that she hod used the old man all rizht. Asto the charge that she hadu’t given Rim becl-tes, accordance with Dr. Rawks’ directions, she claimed that he dafdn’s like becf-tea anyway. She bud always fed him well and cared for _him vroperly, . but he didn’t like the food that the Doctor preseribed, and often asked him to get something else. *Isn’t that so, Doctor?” she asked, looking at that zentleman. “ No, it is0’t 80, bluntly replied the Doctor, and the prisuner looked rather abashed. Mr. Woodbridge wanted to show that her strony lunguase was the result of the nelgh- bors’ interferznce between her and the old man, but the Court shut it out. 3rs. Underhill subsequently gos this claim in, however, and the prosecution let it 0. ‘e re- mzinder of her testimony was to the effect that “Bigr Betsy ™ didu’L Hke ber, und she had had to discharge her; that she bad always had plenty of breud in the house, und sent out for beef several times: that the window was raised on accouns of the bad smell in the sick-room; and that she didn’t bruise, wound, turn the water on Lim, or lock bim out at nizhts, Lhis closed the testimony, and Col. Shirley set out on bis argument, quoting liberally from thie_poets as he progressed. Mr. Woodbridee made the closing address, and at 1:30 in the morning everybody went home and took a rest, —uut is, evervbody wbo bad a home. Those who hadn’t—incluging the visitors—did the best they could with the wretched “hotel” accom- modatious at their commund, At 9:30 o'clock in the worning everybody was on hund again. Justice Dunton “allowed” that he might be o little prejudiced towards the prisoner, bivine known of her proceedings fu the town, and being aware of her’zeneral char- acter, but e bud riven the casean jmpartial considerativu, notwithstanding, and was con- stientious in declaring it as his decision that she should be HELD WITHOUT BAIL to await the actiou of the next Grand Jury. ‘The lawyers took the early train for the city, bus the prisoser and ,the Deputy Sherlff came in by a later train, and Mrs. Underhill resumed Der place in the jail. ‘The allezation of polsoning, it will be scén, was practically abandoned, but the [prosecation insisted that the old man was murdered by starvation, ill-treatment, acd exposure to the weather. 3 TITE DEFENDANT. A reporter called last night upon Mrs. Under- hill at the County Jail. She was found in the upper room of the women's department, in a very quiet and peaceful state. The news-mon- fier tatked for some time with ber, but failed to raw out anytlvng new. She repeated her state- ments ns to :he falsity of the charge that had een laia against her, and assured the reporter that a conspiracy to detraud her of her property was the mainspring of the entire proceedings. She said thatshe hardly koew whether she wus sleeping or dreawing. She conld not realize . that sbe was in jail, charged with poisonin? her husband. She expatiated at great Jeosth upon tie intensicy of the love that had existed be- tween her and her husoand; denounced the res- idents of Arlington Heights as conepirers and grxu!}‘?s'hflnd sald Lkat she woula by far rather vide er property among lawyers than give it Who bad apoeared so prominently in ion ugainst her.

Special Disvatch to' The Tribune. Crxcrxyaty, March 15.—News received here from Washington is to the effect that a strong effort is now being made there to effect a com- bination betwecn the Dewmocrats and Green- backers for the coming campaign in Obio. Gen. Tom Ewlng says ke has been solicited by the Greenbick leaders to accept the nomination of their party for Governor, but will accept no nomination that will place him in a0 actitude of opposition to the Democratic party. If nom- {nated bv the Democrats he would be giad to have the indorsement of the Greenback Conven- tion, or if the two Conventioas could be hela on the same dajge and indorsc each othur’s candi- date, he would be willing to Le that candidate. Mr. Wash McLean, who is in Washington in- teresting himself in this matter, says the pros- pects for a coalition are brizut. 'The Demo- crats, he says, will unite with the Nationals and carry the State by 40,000.. If the two interests don’t unite the Democrats will' lose every State they now have in the Nortu. He is willing fo give the Narjonals the bigeest half of the plat- form, * for if we don’t,” said he, “the Repub- licans will. These fellows lauch at me when I tell them that the Renublicans will form aun alliance -with the Nationals {f we don’t but they’ll see that I am right. Wh they've done it - already in several dis- tricts, and several of the -members- clect on that ticket arc Republicans, and they'll do it everywhere if we don’t. I'd give them everythiug they ask. I told Jobin Thomson not long ago thut in the organization of this ITouse T'd give them cverthlng but Speaker, rather than take any risk.” TO MOTHERS. ‘The best manager in the world is a zood mother of alarge fawily, ambitious, and with very little means at her commaud. Everything within her possible react is utilized to the very best advantage, and triumphantly she places ber children in the foremost rank. -Happy are tbuse children who bave such 4 mother, and we re- spectiully call the attention of such mothers to the immense and splendid assortment of boys’ and children’s clothes we have received wichin afew days.
