He had received a pumber of letters from per- sons in and mear that city. and at lesst forty- three families were utterly destitute. The city of Baliumore, with its accustomed liberality, and no city on ‘earth was more liberal, had’ made ah appropriation from the Corporation funds, fblle many private subscriptions bad been forwarded. The neighborhood of Ellicott City had suffered almost as bad as the city itself, but efforts were being made to relieve all. A com- mittee had been appointed and were relieving All in distress as far as in their power to do so. There should be ne delay here, but an organi- zation effected immediately, and a scheme per- ivcted to collect funds and remit the same to icott City. He moved that a committer of three in each ward be appointed, whose duty it should be to collect tuuds to hand over to the treasurer, to be by him remitted to Ellicott Cit Mi. J. C. MeGuire said he resided about two and «half miles from Ellicott City, and was intimately acquainted with the gentlemen on the relief committee there. They were men of the highest respectability. The amoant of dis- tress and suffering was heartrending. Ther: wets cases of extreme suffering, and some of the parties had no clothing left, therefore they could not go out to ask assistance. Elti- cott city was in one of the richest districts in the State of Maryland, and he desired io ex- plain why farmers were slow in coming to the Y relief of the sufferers. Bridges were all washed away and crops lost. |The tarmers were now busily at work repairing the bridges and sav- idg such parts of their crop as they could, bat they would soon be among the most liberal contributors. Eilicott city was a manufactnr- ing town, and hundreds of persons had been thrown out otemployment. They must have funds to get away. as they desire to go some ‘where else to get work. Mr. John E. Norris said the ruin was com- plete, from the head of the Patapsco to Balu- more. and at least three thousand persons were out of employment. A little property that some Accumulated had been swept away, and chey Were penniless. ‘The citizens ot this Dis- trict should interest themselves and contribute all in their power for the relief of the sufferers; we did not know how soon a calamity migut visit this ity. He thought some prominent place in each ward should be designated where subscriptions could be received. Mr. Bradl«y moved that a committee of thrae in exch ward be appointed to collect funds, and that a place be designated in eacu ward where deposits could be made, suc committee to have power to inerease their number, if ne ry, by sppeintment of sub-comunittees: adopted. ‘Mr. Bradley also read a letter trom Wm. i.

This drop light is unique in dispensing with the usual clumsy joints and weights, being lowered and raised by a very simple ‘and perfect arrangement. ‘The light is also regulated perfectly by a very ingenious style of valve. Any desired number of arms can be supplied to this chandalier. Another very rich chandalier of the Egyptian pattern attracts attention by the beaut Of its design, and its convenience. This is well adopted for churches. Some most graceful chandaliers of Grecian, Corinthian and other styles also attracts the eye,as do the exquisite Gesigns im French bronze; the beautifal hall lamps, dining table and parlor chandaliers of light graceful pattern, &c. By the very com- pete arrangements made by Parke & Co. any style of bracket can be obtained to correspond with the chandalier, a great desideratum as all house. know. They are also anle to SUPPLY St prices that cannot fail to suit.

Fing—Another Howlk in the Fire Alarm.—This morning about 1) O clock, fire was discovered in a stable in the year ofthe National Theatre. Chiet Engineer Dixon, of the Government de- partment. was in the vicinity when the fire oc curred and employed a lad to run to the Hiber- nia engine-house (1th and Pennsylyynia ave- nue.) And tell them to come out. The boy did so, nd the Government engine was on the ground before the ainrm was struck, but did Rot ge into service, because by that time Chiet Engineer Dixon aud Mr. Fridley (formerly of No. 2,) bad extinguished the flames by using the hose of the National Theatre. Chief Engi neer Ellwood, of the city department, states that be wits informed of the fire a short time be- fore the alarm was strack. by officer Roth, and was informed at the same lime that it could be extngul ‘a without the ase of the apparatu: though when the alarm was strack the ciiy ap. paratus quickly appeared but did not go into Service, it not being necessa Mr. Chadwick, of Willards Hotel, and offi. cer Roth both attempted to give thealarm trom box 41, but at was not till officer Roth went to the central guard-house and sent word through the police telegraph, that the alarm was sounded It will be remembered that the alarm for the fire was given from the police station, as was also the alarm at Raub’s soap factory, after various attempts at boxies 4] and Js, The same was the case when box 4 was struck, the alarm was sent from the First Ward police station. Ou the Island, the police wire being out of order, the alarm was given by a mes-en- ger. Itisasserted that in no single instance since the change, has an alarm been given un- ull the information has been communicated to the central office by a mediam other than the fire alarm telegraph. Fortunately the d. im this ease did not result in any great damage to property, but the delay in striking the alarm would probably have been as great if the fire had been «more extensive and more dangerous one.

This vault being very dark, gas jets in shape of a star were suspended in the same to enable visitors to see the objects of interest. The whole power of these jets was about equal to ten ordinary burners. Yesterday afternoon. they were lighted, and a visitor turned the key, shutting off the gas, but turned it too far, so that when the light was extinguished the flow of gas into the vault conunued until, im consequence of the ventilator beg choked, the upper portion of the vault was filled, and ‘caught fire from a lighted burner lower down, which caused the explosion, making a loud report and blowing off the door and breaking the giass in the tran- som, doing no further damage. The idea of such an explosion shaking the walls of the Capitol building is simply ridiculous. —_+—_—_ ORPHANS’ COURT, Judge Purcell —The will of the Inte Leonidas Coyle, bequeathing his es- tate to bis wife, who be nominates executor, was filed.

General Michler states in reply “that on the Ist day of May, i505, the elevarion of thesuriuce of the water im the bigh service reservoir Was two bundred and sixteen {es above the datum line of the Washingion Ague- duct. Smee the surtace bas continually low- ered, until the 22d of July. when the elevation was two bundred and seven and one half feet above datum, showing 2 loss of water from the rvice Of eight and oue bait eet. Since the of July tuere has been a gradual gain, and the elevation to-day is two hundred and mise feet. The quality of water at present in this Teservoir is not as large as itought to be w turmish an adequate supply in case of fives. 1 therefore do not deem i: advisable to restore the localities mentioned in the resolntion to the bigh service, but will do so.as soon as I deem itexprdient. In retereucs to this service the Tecords ot this office show that during the past five years the water to the high service bas been mmadequate. Compiaints from the water takers have consequently been pumerous and I am of the opinion that tere will be no remedy therefor until another main water pipe is Ind from the distributing reservoir und another en- gine placed at bridge No. 6.” Resterred to the Beard of Alderman. ‘The Chair aiso laid betore the board a commu- nication from the Mayor, returning without bis approval a bill: for the construction of barrel arch on the north side of Bridge street, near Rock Creek, because he is opposed to any new improvements while the town treasury i= in its present depleted condition. ‘The till wa= passed over the Mayor's veto.
