THE FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH. The superintendent of the fire alarm tele- graph submitted bis report for the month of September, recommending that a bulletin board, on which shall be painted in plain let- | ters and figures the number of the sigual box and the number and street of the house at which the local key may be found for each | box, be placed in a conspicuous place beside | each signal box. Mr. Collins submitted & resolution, which was adopted, directing the chief engineer to ‘That he is in- | | make requisition on the District Commis- sioners for the bulletins, to be placed near | the signal boxes, as suggested by Superin- tendent Miles. The application of Jos of engine company No.1, to have tae old gong of No. 1 company placed in his house, Was referred to the superiatendent of the re | alarm telegraph. Mr. Williams offered a resolution, which was adopted, that any member of ‘the re- spective companies ot other than the commanding officer of the company found with @ master-key on bis shall be considered as having com- mitted an offense subject to dismissal at the pleasure of the board. Also, @ resolution, which was adopted, that the resolutions in relation to keys of fire-alarm boxes, adop' at the meeting on the 2d of September, be amended so that custody of the undistributed keys be given to the chief engineer of the de- partment and secretary of the board, who Will be responsible for the distribution of whe same in accordance with previous orders of ‘the board.

Mr. Morgan said he had offered the resolu- tion for the purpose of vindicating the board, and in order to give the president au oppor- vanity for an explanation. A POSITIVE DENIAL. Mr. Williams said thatthe language which bad been read not been used by him at all. There had been @ little off-hand spar- ring between himseli and one of the board of underwriters. Nodoubt the item grew out of aremark he made toa re r, formerly on a Washington paper, that if he (W-) knew that anything he said in the conven- tion was to be reported he would pay to keep it out. The reporter replied: ‘We don’t € pay like you do down in Washing- Every gentleman in this town knew he had not been in this city but tea years, and the reported words could not have bad reference to running with the machine an this cit issaying that any house had been'spotted” there had been no sach allosion made at all. It was personal be- tween himself and a snember of the board of uncerwriters. Last year the underwriters had agreed to pay the expenses of the con- vention at St. Loutk, and he had re narked, when they had gotten ready to assess #5 on all the engineers, that it was too much to ask of them—many of whom were poorly patd—after bringing them together, and hat urged that the board of underwriters pay tne expenses of the convention, saying that “If any of yonr fellows don’t pay shut them out of Your board.” This was nothing, eoatlaucd Mr. Williams, compared with the manner he had been misrepresented by the papers of this city. He had never allowed himself to contradict anything that bad been said about himin this town, as he was not desirous of being drawn into a newspaper controversy. He thought that his tife In this commun! had been such as would give the lie to ihe whole thing. Mr. Williams eoncludet by aguin emphatieally denying having used tae language quoted. OPINIONS OF THE ROAR. Mr. Morgun said that he thought it was due to the department, to the coumanity, and to President Williams himself that he (Williams) should publish his dental in the daily press, While the board was satistied with the denial, yet the general public should also be satisfied. Mr. Williams said be should publish no dc nial, but if the reporters preseat chose to publish his remarks he had no objection. Mr. Hume said that many persons had ap- proached bim on this subject, and while he had avowed his disbelief wat the above laa guage had been uttered by the president, yet ‘uch avowal was not satisfactory to others He thought that the president, in‘order to set this matter finally at rest, should make an explicit denial of having’ spoken the lan- guage attributed to him through the newspa- ers. Mr. Collins said when he first read the par- azraph in the New York papers he did not believe it correct, unless the president was either drunk or crazy; but ashe was not a drinking man, and his head was level when he left the city, he came to the conclusion there was a mistake somewhere. SUll it was due to this board, to the firemen, and to the District authorities that this board disown any sympathy with the sentiments reported. The paragraph had been published m not only one but several of the New York pa- pers, with severe editorial comments. Evel the New York Mail, a paper friendly to ti District, had advised the board of underwri- ters to require the insurance companies to take no risks in property in the District. If the allegations were left without notice, the property-holders of the District would saffer, and the good name of our people be tar- nished. Mr. Talt said he was one of the old volun- teer firemen, and he knew that they were mortified and indignant when they read the article. On their behalf he would ask Mr. Williams to make a public denial. Mr. Morgan moved that the president be requested to make a denial throug the press. FINAL ACTION. Mr. Collins said he thought he could pre- pare something which would meet the views of all, Including the President, and. offered the following resolution (with Mr. Morgan’ preamble) as a substitute for the first resolution ofiered by Mr. Morgan, Which was unanimously adopted, all the members, including Mr. Williams, voting in ihe #ffirmative: Resolved, That the Board of Fire Commis- sioners of the District of Columbia unani- mously disavow any sympathy with the sentinients in the above remarks attributed to President Williams by a portion of the New York press, and the trathfalness of which he publicly and emphatically denies. The board then adjourned. —————— A Cut Hrap.—James Brown and Ben Allen got inte a fight on L street, near Sd, and Brown received @ severe cut on the head which was dressed by Drs.
