SAME FARES DAY AND NIGHT Within a few days there have appeared in tho Hrxacp interesting details of the efforts being wade by Frank Kavanagh, of London, Englaud, as tho repro- sentative of a number of uietinguished foreign capital- jats, to enlist our moneyed men in the enterprise of foundipg a company to run cheap cabs In the city. These pubdiications must bave conviuced our peoplo of the feasibility of the scheme and the sincerity of the genticmen who are disposed to confer upon the public the advantages of cheap, quick and sule t t by coupé andcab, There is no reason why aplan that has mot with popular favor beyond the Atlantic and yields the stockholders thirty per cent per annum upon the money invested should not win 4 fair success fn thiscity, which 1s far bebiad London in rapid transit steam facilities, If 1t pays tn London, which 18 cov- erod by a network of rapid transit railroads, it should certainly prove a great boon to the traveling public of this city. which bas so loug and so vainly cried out for cheap aud swift locomotion, With a view to making plain just what the gentlemen directing this great popular work propose to do for this city the views of goveral of them are appended, UNKRAL PEATURKS OP YHE SCHEME. ank Kavanagh, the representative majority of the capital, bemg asked some deiajls as to tho aflairs of the poration, stated to the reporter thut it almost too early in the history of the company to Bpeak at length as to their plaos. There are many details tbat can only be decided upon after the board of directors bas been chosen, carriages constructed, the horses purchased and the siablos and oilices crected. ‘We propose,” said he, “to begin with a capital of $250,000, That will enable us to put on und operate from 150 to 200 vebicles. We will with ta u few days hold a meeting and select a board of ive American directors, of Secretary-treasurer shall be members, gentlemen will bave the general of the aftairs of the company tp this city.

They will be mage of the most durable material, highly and out, aud will cost from $ 5 to the ct patrons, TIME CONTRACTS. “As many families ind st very expensive to keep their own curriayes and teams we propose to make contracts yeur, half yeur or quarter, at reduced rates, ior . shopping, attending pi of amusement, or ug in the Park or on the avenues or boulevards. We will also ‘make special contracts with brokers, bankers, lawyers, merchants and other business men | tu carry them to and fro between their residences and oilc mornings and atternoons.

AN ALTAR& FIRE. A scene of confusion was last evening enacted at the Church of St. Jon the Baptist, adjoining the Roman Catholic college at the corner of Willoughby and Lewis avenues, Brooklyu. During the benedic- tion the folds of spangled turletan and luco which enveloped the statue of tho Virgin took fire from one mong the myriads of candies by which it was surroundea. The sexton of the church, Brother Thomas, who seems to have been the first to act, monnied the burning altar and endeavored to snatch the folds of lace from their hangings, but, alter scorching himself to no et- fect, Le was forced to retreat. A pumber of men rushed forward and tore down the frame arch and its decorations irom the wall. It was trampied upon by a dozen men and soon extinguished. There was patu- rally somo excitetnent among the congregation, but the cooler-headed prevented the timorous trom making a panic. The priests set a good exainple in this, the celebrant, Father Murray, rewoving the host, while his assistant eatinguisbed the candles, Tho marble statue of the Virgin was not perceptibly dis colored, The fire is attributed to the oversight of the ladies who dressed and festooned the altar, GORED BY A STEER, Cattle men were trying to drive a herd into the slaughter house at the foot of Forty-tilth street, East River, yestorday. ‘The animals were darting hither and thither on Second avenue, much to the disgust ot the Mexican herders, who on their mustangs were trying to keep the unruly brutes together, One of the steers broke away from tho berd, and, turning its head southward, dashed along Second avenue with its head gown and tail w the air, parsued by the shouts apd cries of boysand mon, At the corner oi Twenty-lith street Terence Reilly stood, apparently transtt with terror at tho approach of the beast, which was only a few yards from him, Wefore the poor fellow couid get out of the way the steer tovsed hia high over its bead, Up Twenty-tifth street toward Third avenue sped the creature, and amida eloud of dust clovely alter camo a ranchers on a mustang, which was straining every sinew to overtake the runaway.

FIREWORKS AND THE FOURTYL Movement Against House Burning and Limb Shattering Pyrotechnics. THE COST IN CONFLAGRATIONS, --———~<. Curious Anniversary Figures—The Law in Baitimore—Experiences Elsewhere. ———_—_e—__—_ ‘The manner in Which the Fourth of July shall bo pyrotectmically celebrated is an anxious question among our property holders and reprosentatives of in- surance interests, The great fires that bave oceurred as ibe result of careless use of firecrackers, the alarms, tbat have been given to neighborhoods, the thousands who have suflered {rom accident, the reck- jess manner in which the small voy has used his opportunitics—all these ond otner iifcidonts connected with the celebration of Independence Day have tracted the attontion of thoughtiul men to the subject, aud there is a feeling at work which may eventually compel greater public protection, lu a country town or Village it may be safe enough to send up rockets, dis- charge Romun candles, fire off packages of dynamite, or explode the scientifically made bunches of modern crackers and torpedoes that help to swell the noise of the day: but in New York old times have changed, Large valucs are at stake here. Our thickly crowded promenades are uot adapted to the joyful detonation of these destructive clemems, While we want ‘tho littie ones to tuko their usual pleasure, the larger thought of self-protection is ut work. This may be broaght to the practical mind by statistics something like these which are*quoted below from the report for 1876 of the Committee of the Nationul Board of Fire Underwriters ;— * EXTRACTS ¥ROM THE REPORT, It is the universal testimony of fire uuderwriters and chiet engineers of fire departments that the losses by fire on the 34 and 4th of July, 1876, were less in number than in any previous year {ju their remembrance, The wide spread feehng of alurin and apprehension of scrious conflagrations on the Centennial Fourth of July, influenced the public tu tuke such precautions for the safety of property as the Underwriters (incited by ting Doard) bad recommended, It is strikingly suggestive of the dangers to which property 18 annually exposed that it source of gei eral congratulation that the total lorses by Fourth of July, 19 consequence of the discha works and firecrackers, was lesy than ball a million o1 dollars, Because of the undisputed fact that the losses by fire on Iudependence Day of the present year were less than on any previous year, your committee considered the present a tavoravie time to collate figures, show jug the losses by tire and the extent of other casualties occasioned by the prine:pal agents of American cele- brations—fireworks and firecrackers. That the re- turns might be complote we forwarded a blank, asking for the desired tuformation, to ali ingurance com- panies doing business in this ‘country; to chief engi ecrs of fire departmentsand chicts of police in alloities fnd,iowns having a population of over 1,000 person: and, We bave received and present to you the informa. tou’ received trom 349 stock compantics, 149 mutual compunies, 830 chief engineers, 771 chiefs of pouce. ly, will De observed that tho dangers of fireworks, when under cl erutiny avd guorded by the awak- ened feurs of anation, are of sullictent magnitude to demand our serious consideration, Is not $154,574 16 a svVere lax upon insurauce capital for the gratification of juvenile patriotism ? ‘ ‘The losses, as roported, were mainly ‘in the North- eastern States. The West was protected by copious rains. ‘The greater display of fireworks in the South occurs during the fall and winter, at tho time of Mardi Gras and Christmas holidays. DANGEROUS FIREWORKS, Pyrotecnics enter so largely into the administration of thany departments of the goverument and of com- morce, and their display, when properly munipulated, can be made so sale and afford so much real pleasure wo citizens of all uges, that few, ifany, would wish to,pro- hibit their manvfacture; yet, in view of tho danger at- tendant upon their reckless handling and discharge, tt is important that the sule aud uso of all fireworks spould be surrounded by most stringent municipal regulation, Wo hold that no fireworks should be manufactured which at the time of their discharge cannot be regu- lated as to their direction. Serpents, squibs, chasers, £0 called, which, when discharged, are completely be- yond control, ure dangerous, and the manutacture of ihein should ve prohibited. Again, we hold that no article of pyrotechnics should be manufactured which, alter the timmediate effect de- sired to be produced has nn secured, leave burning dobris, The paper of which rockets and other similar fireworks are manulactured should ve mage incom- bustible, We learn from excellent authority that the value of fireworks of American uiunufacture sold trom 1860 to 1576 amouated to $2,556,000, Your committve bave been pleased to learn frem leading fireworks munufacturers that they will co- operate in limiting the dangers of their products, and te American Pyrotechnic Association have, at our request. appointed a committee to ascertain the wishes ol our Board, We recommend that this Bourd appoint a special committee to confer with these gentlemen, CHIXESR CRACKERS AND BARBARISM, By the most liberal thougnt we caunot frame asingle argament against or imagine a reasonable opposition to this committee’s ecurnest recommendation that the influence of National Board of Fire Underwriters pibting the importation of Chin fire crackers, In appearance beathonish, the noise of their discharge is destructive of all rational methods of evlebration, thoir serious effects after their explosion e beyond calculation, The invoice value of ull fire- crackers imported since January 1, 1865, ts icss thun $1,500,000, and the loss by two Coofagrations in that iceable directly to them, amounts to upward ‘of $15,€00,000, and we Und that on one day only of tho present year (he lugs occasioned by these incendiaries amounted to twenty-five per cent of the total invoice value of all imported in 1575, It is not an extravagant statement that every doilar’s worth of firecrackers imported into this country bas occasioned a direct loss by fire of more than $100, WHAT DR, WILLARD PARKER SAYS.
