It was expected that the Baptist Minis- ters' Union, which is composed of the Kas- tors of the colored Baptist churches in this city, and parts of Virginia and Maryland, would take up for discussion at its meet- ing this week the question of the establish- ment of the whipping post in the District of Columbia. The meeting of the associa- tion was held in the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, on 4th and L streets northwest, of which the Jv.. W. P. Gibbons is pastor. The meeting was called to order by the president of the union, the Rev. L V. Bry- ant, and Rev. J. I. Loving. recorded.. The session of the union was devoted to hear- Ing reports from the pastors as to their work. The question of ,the .whipping post was not formally taken up, as it was ascer- tained that, the constitution of. the union provided that the association shall not dis- cuss any subjects excepting those affecting the welfare of the churches. But many of the pastors expressed themselves on the subject. In speaking to a Star reporter upon the subject. Rev. I. V. Bryant, the president of the association, said: "I am opposed to the establishment of the whipping post in the District because I think it a step backward, and revolutions should never go backward. This mode of punishment would not, in my opinion, lessen the crimes for which it Is intentled. And while there were some col- ored men on the grand jury that recom- mended that the whipping post be estab- lished, and evidently did so in good faith, yet I believe that the recommendation was intended more to get at the negro than anything else. While I believe that the whipping post would be barbarous, and object to It principally on that ground, still I don't believe that the lash would be im- partially administered. The whites who might be guilty would escape punishment, and the negro would In every case be brought to the post." Rev. George W. Lee, the pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, said: "I am not one of those who think the estab- lishment of the whipping post a barbarous method of punishment. I think it a divine one, as it comes to us from the Mosaic law. I think we should compare the whipping post with the present system of punish- ment, and see which seems to have the most beneficial effect upon the criminal classes. I am certain It is less brutal to whip the wretch who beats the wife of his choice than it is for him to whip her. I be- lieve the punishment fits the crime. I think it a splendid vaccination for the dis- ease." Rev. J. H. Lee of the Third Baptist Church said: "I am opposed to the law un- less it will be impartially administered to the rich and poor, the high and low, and the white and black. If it can be thus ad- ministered, I am in favor of its establish- ment, and think it but suitable punishment for that class of criminals for which it is intended. But if there is to be discrimina- tion in the administering of that law, as of many other laws in the District, then I am uncompromisingly opposed to it." & Rev. Sandy Alexander, the oldest colored pastor in the city, said: "I think a man who beats his wife Is a coward and de- serves severe punishment, yet I am op- posed to the whipping post, and believe, as others have said, that the institution is too barbarous for this enlightened day. And then, too, if the whipping post was estab- lished, it would be soon found out that there are no wife beaters In the District excepting negroes. The whites would escape from that, as they did the opera- tions of the Edmunds act." Rev. W. J. Howard of the F Street Church of South Washington, and the pas- tor of the largest colored church in that section of the city, said: "I am opposed to the .whipping post on the general ground of its inhumanity. I don't believe it a hu- mane manner of punishment. Its estab- lishment here would bring the District in disrepute throughout the country. I be- lieve, too, that it would be impossible, un- der the present condition of affairs in the District, to administer the law impartially. The colored people would be discriminated against, and would be the only ones who would be detected as wife beaters." Riev.W. H. Brooks of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, in conversation with a representative of The Star, said: "The whipping post would be more merciful and more economical than the present mode of punishment; but I don't believe that the law would stand. As soon as some white wife beater is detected this law, like the Edmunds act, will be made a dead letter. If the law could be Impartially adminis- tered, I think it would be a more humane one than the present mode of punishment in some of our prisons." The Rev. H. C. Robinson, one of the members of the union, and the president of the South Washington Protective and Re- lief Association, expressed an opinion sim- ilar to those of the other members of the union, and said that the association of which he is president had alreskdy put itself on record as being opposed to the law, and believed that it was intended to reach negroes alone. Rev. J. Anderson Taylor of the Shiloh Baptist Church said: "The whipping post is, indeed, a relic of barbarism and of the days of slavery, and I am accordingly op- posed to it. While wife beaters are brutes, it seems to me that some more humane and at the same time adequate means of punishment could be devised. Like the major portion of the clergymen to whom I have talked on the subject, I am fearful that if the law is enacted it will not be im- partially administered." Holding Republican Meetings. The republican politicians held two meet- ings last night, one on Meridian Hill and the other in Georgetown. Both meetings were largely attended, and the different candidates exchanged the usual compli- ments. At the Meridian HIll meeting Mr. Holland. Dr. Purvis, Perry Carson and Daniel Murray held the fort, while over in Georgetown went R. H. Key, C. J. Ortlip, Richard Laws, and later Mr. Holland ap- peared. The meeting in Georgetown was held in the old Zicn Church, on 26th and P streets. and was largely attended. The sentiment of the meeting was seemingly favorable to Holland, and his speech was loudly applauded. R. H. Key of the seven- teenth district made a speech, giving the reasons why he wanted to represent the people here. RIchard Laws spoke in favor of C. J. Ortlip as the white candidate, and when presented to the meeting Mr. Ortlip was liberally applauded. Abraham's Hail, on 15th street extended, was the place of the Meridian Hill meet- ing, and the candidates and different speak- ers entertained a large audIence. Interest in the political meetings is dying Out. and it Is said that they will be suspended for a whIle, and the candIdates will begin to or- ganlze the several districts and make still hunts for the nominations as delegates to the national convention.

Lafayette Square Opera House.-The an- nouncement that -Stuart Robson, for the first time In thirty years, is to honor Wash- ington with a performance of Sheridan's peerless comedy, "The Rivals," is welcome news to the many lovers of legitimate drama. Saturday evening at the Lafayette Square Theater Mr. Robson will be seen as Bob Acres, In the portrayal of which char- acter he has rever been equaled. It Is adapted to his natural peculiarities, and this, with his art as an actor, guarantees a rare dramatic treat. Mr. Robson's com- pany is adapted to this clever comedy, which will be staged and costumed with the same artistic skill that characterized all of Mr. Robson's old comedy revivals. "Government Acceptance." Mr. Robson's drama of Washington life, will be contin- ued tonight and tomorrow evening, with Saturday matinee. Bill Nye and Bert Poole.-Bill Nye's humor Is irimitable and irrepressible, while Mr. Poole's exquisite caricatures, that in- volve the very essence of Nye's laughable sketches, are charming in the extreme. They afford the most delightful evening's entertainment imaginable and one which leaves pleasant memories behind for many days after. The chief subject to which they will devote themselves upon their appearance in this city is "Farming Ex- posed." They will be at Metzerott's Hall on Saturday evening, October 2(. The sale of reserved seats, now in progress, shows a wide interest in the entertainment. Venezuela and "Combinations." To the Editor of The Evening Star, It is generally assumed that Great Britain, in delaying her answer to the alleged repeat- ed requests of this government to submit to arbitration her patent india-rubber bound- ary line in Venezuela, is doing so In order to persuade certain European powers to com- bine with her against us. This Is most like- ly, in spite of some contradiction. For a century past England has never but once fought a white people without raisi-ig a coalition or alliance to help her, and the practice is a wholesome one, for the single exception ended with Majuba Hill. The strongest argument that the jingoes have lately set forth against France is the threat that England may join the triple alliance. The English hunt in a pack except when they covet the possessions of some dusky race. But supposing that she succeeds in rais- ing a combination, we need not be extremely terrified. It is true that we have neglc:ted our navy, but all the fighting will not be on the water; it is also true that some of our coast cities are not as strongly fortified as they should be, but all the hard hitting will not be on one side; and we also can do something in combinations. The United States has hitherto refrained from entering upon entangling alliances, but as circim- stances alter cases, the time has pernaps come when, by judicious offers, we can in- duce a couple of European powers to make a very lively diversion in the. enemy's rear, or, at worst, get them all to observe a strict (not British) neutrality. We have few friendsbut England has not a single real one who will for any length of time pull chest- nuts out of the fire for her. Those few recreants among us who insist that we should wait until we are kicked very hard, tell us that it would not have been worth while to go to war for a few seals or to save Nicaragua a "fine," or now to prevent the seizure of some gold miaes in Venezuela-but where is 'the spirit of ag- gression on one side or of yielding on the other to stop? Will it be at the stretching uf the Alaskan boundary or the control of the Isthmian canal? The situation Is be.com- ing intolerable, and war sooner or 'ater is inevitable. We must fight some day, and we may as well have it over now. The Monroe doctrine Is no jest, but is the law of self-pres- ervation, and we will never have a better or a juster cause. And what a pfospect would open before us! The building up necessarily of home manufactures and improvements, the stop- page of the outflow of money whether for excessive imports, bonds of indebtedness, waste in foreign travel and other objects. If they can stand it on the other side for a few years, certainly we can. And when we have tired out the other combiners we can for the third time deal with our hereditary enemy, and in such wise that she will never again meddle with affairs on the American continent. McK. The Reformed Church Synod. The Potomac synod of the Reformed Church in the United States convened In Frederick Tursday evening. Rev. W. J. Stewart of Baltimore preached the opening sermon. An organization was effected in the election of Rev. Wm. C. Schaeffer, Ph. D., of Chambersburg, Pa., as president, Rev. Geo. B. Resser, Hanover, Pa., vice president; Rev. A. B.

Again in Custody, Eugene Swingles of Columbus, Ohio, who was sent from hera to the insane asylum at Columbus about ten months ago because of his queer conduct, has returned here. and yesterday was again arrested. He was found at the office of Reed Littell, patent attorney, on 7th street. Swingles claims to be the Inventor of an airship, and expects some day to make a trip in his ship across the Atlantic. He annoyed Mr. Littell to such an extent that he complained to the police. Swingles agreed to leave the city, The Case Dismissed. The case of Morris Murphy against Thos. Kirby for settlement of account of contract dcne by them in 1875 was dismissed by Justice Cox last May. with costs against Murphy.

Samunel Seaatag, Mannagr--Adhrt TRANSMITTING-VIRE ALARMS A New &oM ne to Rapist ad Band Out the Numbeu. How thle Calls Are Soanded on the Gongs-An Intewenting Pleem of Xeehasiss Ruparintendent Miles of tbe-listrict fire alarn and telephone service a few days ago had put in the sertice one of the latest Improved manual repeaters, said to be the only otte of its kind in service any- where. This new instrument, it is claim- ed, is the best of its' kind. and Superin- tendent Miles says that in sounding fire alarms it is a great inprovement over the dial repeater in the saving of time as well as in its accuracy. Speaking of this important service Su- perintendent Miles told a Star reporter that the Gamewell system of fire tele- graph, which was erected in this city in the year 1864, served a good purpose for over ten years, and- wab superseded in 1875 by the then greatly improved sys- tem of the same company, with seventy- five improved signal boxes located in Washington and Georgetown. The cen- tral olfice was equipped with an automatic repeater, with capacity for seven signals and four alarm circuits, and a single dial mahual repeater, with provisions for four alarm circuits. This outfit was the very best then known and for twenty years.has worked with almost perfect success. Extending the Systemm. But with the rapid growth of the city new boxes had to be added year after year, so that at the beginning of the pres- ent year some ninety additional boxes have been crowded into seven signal cir- cuitE-an average of more than double the number of boxes desirable on a circuit. Meantime the necessity for fire alarm pro- tection for the valuable property ip the sluhurbs became so urgent as to induce Congress to make at its last session a small appropriation for extending the fire alarm telegraph; extension, however, car- ried with it the necessity for additiona. signal circuits, and these could not be in- troduced without switchboard and repeat- ers in the central office and provision for a large number of circuits, so that two new repeaters and a new switchboard had to be purchased. Early in the current year the Commissioners contracted for a new switchboard and an automatic repeater, each having a capacity for twelve signal and six alarm circuits, and a three-dial n.anual repeater with capacity for six alarm circuits and for twenty-seven fire alarm boxes, which have been put up re- cently in the suburbs. This new manual repeater, or rather transmitter, is the first of its kind. The New Repeater. Briefly described it represents to the eye a somewhat massive front behind a bevel- edged plate glass case, standing about forty inches long and nearly forty inches high, having three distinct dials, each within an oblong opening in its upper front, through which any one of the nine numer- als can be teen when set to transmit an alarm, and each dial capable of transmit- ting any one signal from one to nine. The dial on the extreme right (the unit dial) is arranged to strike from one to twelve consecutive blows as may be desired, and so is capable of doing its own part in transmitting alarms, and is also used for special signal purposes, such as special, second and general alarms, and also for striking the hour of 12 at middar. The simple electrical mechanism of these dials so act and react on each other that it is only necessary to set them to represent the number of the box received at central office and then set the transmitter in motion by turning the indicator to strike the number of rounds that should be sounded on the gongs and bells of the fire department, which may be once, twice. thrice or four times (generally the latter). How an Alarm f Sent Out. Suppose an alarm comes to the central offlice from box MCR. The right, or unit dial, is set at the figure 8 seen through the small opening at the tipper edge of the dial; the middle dial is set at the figure 3, and the dial at the left is set at the figure 43; the index pointer, or indicator, as we have called it, is turned, or set at the fig- ure 4, as it generally is, and acts as a starting lever, and the left dial strikes six strokes on every gong and bell on each of the slarm circuits; the transmitter makes the proper pause of about five sec- onds, and then the Eecond or middle dial sounds three in the same manner; another pause of the same length as the first and BAKM POWDER.

The index pointer, or indicator which starts the transmitter when it Is to send out an rm, tand, when at rest, at zero. If mov to Igure 1 it causes only one round to be sent out and automatically goes back to its place of rest: If turned to figure 2 it sends the signals twice, receding one figure after each round has been struck, and so likewise If three or four rounds are struck. Turning Uek the -Mai. As soon'as an alarm is finished the oper- ator on duty sets each of the three dials of -this instrument at the star. or Sero mark, where It remains until another alarm has to be sent out. If a box wsith two numbers only, as 251 is to be struck the middle dial will be set at 2, the right hand dial at 5, and a touch of the Index pointer sounds the number of rounds desired. The automatic repeater, with Uts twelve signal and six alarm circuits. is a very fine instrument, but in form and opera- tion not unlike those- in use in many of the large cities elsewhere. The Week's Death Record. In his report for the week ending Oc- tober 19, Health Officer Woodward states the number of deaths to have been 142, of which 8 were from typhoid fever, 16 from consumption, 12 from disea.ses of the .brain and 3 from violence. 'Seifenty-fif births were reported, 23 being whife males, 21 white females, 15 colored males and 16 colored females. The mortality frcm typhbld fever de- cHned from 14. the number during the previous week, to 8, and Dr. Woodward says: "In view of a decrease of the ty- phold fever death rate from 2.64 per 1,000 to 1.51. and the continued abeyance of the dangerous contagious diseases, the week's death 'record indicates a fairly satisfactory condition of the health of the community."

THE WHIPPING 'POST AGAIN

Pastor. or Golored aptist OlumihAs Er-ptS Ther Viw

A General Opini'on Among Them That

There Would Be Diserimination In

Administering the Law.

It was expected that the Baptist Minis-ters' Union, which is composed of the Kas-tors of the colored Baptist churches in thiscity, and parts of Virginia and Maryland,would take up for discussion at its meet-ing this week the question of the establish-ment of the whipping post in the Districtof Columbia. The meeting of the associa-tion was held in the Mt. Carmel BaptistChurch, on 4th and L streets northwest, ofwhich the Jv.. W. P. Gibbons is pastor.The meeting was called to order by thepresident of the union, the Rev. L V. Bry-ant, and Rev. J. I. Loving. recorded.. Thesession of the union was devoted to hear-Ing reports from the pastors as to theirwork. The question of ,the .whipping postwas not formally taken up, as it was ascer-tained that, the constitution of. the unionprovided that the association shall not dis-cuss any subjects excepting those affectingthe welfare of the churches. But many ofthe pastors expressed themselves on thesubject.In speaking to a Star reporter upon the

subject. Rev. I. V. Bryant, the president ofthe association, said: "I am opposed to theestablishment of the whipping post in theDistrict because I think it a step backward,and revolutions should never go backward.This mode of punishment would not, in myopinion, lessen the crimes for which it Isintentled. And while there were some col-ored men on the grand jury that recom-mended that the whipping post be estab-lished, and evidently did so in good faith,yet I believe that the recommendation wasintended more to get at the negro thananything else. While I believe that thewhipping post would be barbarous, andobject to It principally on that ground, stillI don't believe that the lash would be im-partially administered. The whites whomight be guilty would escape punishment,and the negro would In every case bebrought to the post."Rev. George W. Lee, the pastor of the

Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, said: "Iam not one of those who think the estab-lishment of the whipping post a barbarousmethod of punishment. I think it a divineone, as it comes to us from the Mosaic law.I think we should compare the whippingpost with the present system of punish-ment, and see which seems to have themost beneficial effect upon the criminalclasses. I am certain It is less brutal towhip the wretch who beats the wife of hischoice than it is for him to whip her. I be-lieve the punishment fits the crime. Ithink it a splendid vaccination for the dis-ease."Rev. J. H. Lee of the Third BaptistChurch said: "I am opposed to the law un-

less it will be impartially administered tothe rich and poor, the high and low, andthe white and black. If it can be thus ad-ministered, I am in favor of its establish-ment, and think it but suitable punishmentfor that class of criminals for which it isintended. But if there is to be discrimina-tion in the administering of that law, as ofmany other laws in the District, then I amuncompromisingly opposed to it." &Rev. Sandy Alexander, the oldest colored

pastor in the city, said: "I think a manwho beats his wife Is a coward and de-serves severe punishment, yet I am op-posed to the whipping post, and believe, asothers have said, that the institution is toobarbarous for this enlightened day. Andthen, too, if the whipping post was estab-lished, it would be soon found out thatthere are no wife beaters In the Districtexcepting negroes. The whites wouldescape from that, as they did the opera-tions of the Edmunds act."Rev. W. J. Howard of the F Street

Church of South Washington, and the pas-tor of the largest colored church in thatsection of the city, said: "I am opposed tothe .whipping post on the general groundof its inhumanity. I don't believe it a hu-mane manner of punishment. Its estab-lishment here would bring the District indisrepute throughout the country. I be-lieve, too, that it would be impossible, un-der the present condition of affairs in theDistrict, to administer the law impartially.The colored people would be discriminatedagainst, and would be the only ones whowould be detected as wife beaters."Riev.W. H. Brooks of the Nineteenth Street

Baptist Church, in conversation with arepresentative of The Star, said: "Thewhipping post would be more merciful andmore economical than the present mode ofpunishment; but I don't believe that thelaw would stand. As soon as some whitewife beater is detected this law, like theEdmunds act, will be made a dead letter.If the law could be Impartially adminis-tered, I think it would be a more humaneone than the present mode of punishmentin some of our prisons."The Rev. H. C. Robinson, one of the

members of the union, and the president ofthe South Washington Protective and Re-lief Association, expressed an opinion sim-ilar to those of the other members of theunion, and said that the association ofwhich he is president had alreskdy putitself on record as being opposed to thelaw, and believed that it was intended toreach negroes alone.Rev. J. Anderson Taylor of the Shiloh

Baptist Church said: "The whipping postis, indeed, a relic of barbarism and of thedays of slavery, and I am accordingly op-posed to it. While wife beaters are brutes,it seems to me that some more humaneand at the same time adequate means ofpunishment could be devised. Like themajor portion of the clergymen to whom Ihave talked on the subject, I am fearfulthat if the law is enacted it will not be im-partially administered."

Holding Republican Meetings.The republican politicians held two meet-

ings last night, one on Meridian Hill andthe other in Georgetown. Both meetingswere largely attended, and the differentcandidates exchanged the usual compli-ments. At the Meridian HIll meeting Mr.Holland. Dr. Purvis, Perry Carson andDaniel Murray held the fort, while over inGeorgetown went R. H. Key, C. J. Ortlip,Richard Laws, and later Mr. Holland ap-peared. The meeting in Georgetown washeld in the old Zicn Church, on 26th and Pstreets. and was largely attended. Thesentiment of the meeting was seeminglyfavorable to Holland, and his speech wasloudly applauded. R. H. Key of the seven-teenth district made a speech, giving thereasons why he wanted to represent thepeople here.RIchard Laws spoke in favor of C. J.

Ortlip as the white candidate, and whenpresented to the meeting Mr. Ortlip wasliberally applauded.Abraham's Hail, on 15th street extended,

was the place of the Meridian Hill meet-ing, and the candidates and different speak-ers entertained a large audIence. Interestin the political meetings is dying Out. andit Is said that they will be suspended for awhIle, and the candIdates will begin to or-ganlze the several districts and make stillhunts for the nominations as delegates tothe national convention.

Lafayette Square Opera House.-The an-

nouncement that -Stuart Robson, for thefirst time In thirty years, is to honor Wash-ington with a performance of Sheridan'speerless comedy, "The Rivals," is welcomenews to the many lovers of legitimatedrama. Saturday evening at the LafayetteSquare Theater Mr. Robson will be seen asBob Acres, In the portrayal of which char-acter he has rever been equaled. It Isadapted to his natural peculiarities, andthis, with his art as an actor, guarantees arare dramatic treat. Mr. Robson's com-pany is adapted to this clever comedy,which will be staged and costumed withthe same artistic skill that characterizedall of Mr. Robson's old comedy revivals."Government Acceptance." Mr. Robson'sdrama of Washington life, will be contin-ued tonight and tomorrow evening, withSaturday matinee.Bill Nye and Bert Poole.-Bill Nye's

humor Is irimitable and irrepressible, whileMr. Poole's exquisite caricatures, that in-volve the very essence of Nye's laughablesketches, are charming in the extreme.They afford the most delightful evening'sentertainment imaginable and one whichleaves pleasant memories behind for manydays after. The chief subject to whichthey will devote themselves upon theirappearance in this city is "Farming Ex-posed." They will be at Metzerott's Hallon Saturday evening, October 2(. Thesale of reserved seats, now in progress,shows a wide interest in the entertainment.

Venezuela and "Combinations."To the Editor of The Evening Star,It is generally assumed that Great Britain,

in delaying her answer to the alleged repeat-ed requests of this government to submitto arbitration her patent india-rubber bound-ary line in Venezuela, is doing so In order topersuade certain European powers to com-bine with her against us. This Is most like-ly, in spite of some contradiction. For acentury past England has never but oncefought a white people without raisi-ig acoalition or alliance to help her, and thepractice is a wholesome one, for the singleexception ended with Majuba Hill. Thestrongest argument that the jingoes havelately set forth against France is the threatthat England may join the triple alliance.The English hunt in a pack except when theycovet the possessions of some dusky race.But supposing that she succeeds in rais-

ing a combination, we need not be extremelyterrified. It is true that we have neglc:tedour navy, but all the fighting will not beon the water; it is also true that some of ourcoast cities are not as strongly fortified asthey should be, but all the hard hittingwill not be on one side; and we also can dosomething in combinations. The UnitedStates has hitherto refrained from enteringupon entangling alliances, but as circim-stances alter cases, the time has pernapscome when, by judicious offers, we can in-duce a couple of European powers to makea very lively diversion in the. enemy's rear,or, at worst, get them all to observe a strict(not British) neutrality. We have fewfriendsbut England has not a single real onewho will for any length of time pull chest-nuts out of the fire for her.Those few recreants among us who insist

that we should wait until we are kicked veryhard, tell us that it would not have beenworth while to go to war for a few sealsor to save Nicaragua a "fine," or now toprevent the seizure of some gold miaes inVenezuela-but where is 'the spirit of ag-gression on one side or of yielding on theother to stop? Will it be at the stretching ufthe Alaskan boundary or the control of theIsthmian canal? The situation Is be.com-ing intolerable, and war sooner or 'ater isinevitable. We must fight some day, and wemay as well have it over now. The Monroedoctrine Is no jest, but is the law of self-pres-ervation, and we will never have a better ora juster cause.And what a pfospect would open before

us! The building up necessarily of homemanufactures and improvements, the stop-page of the outflow of money whether forexcessive imports, bonds of indebtedness,waste in foreign travel and other objects.If they can stand it on the other side for afew years, certainly we can. And when wehave tired out the other combiners we canfor the third time deal with our hereditaryenemy, and in such wise that she will neveragain meddle with affairs on the Americancontinent. McK.

TRANSMITTING-VIRE ALARMS

A New &oM ne to Rapist ad Band Outthe Numbeu.

How thle Calls Are Soanded on the

Gongs-An Intewenting Pleemof Xeehasiss

Ruparintendent Miles of tbe-listrict firealarn and telephone service a few daysago had put in the sertice one of the latestImproved manual repeaters, said to bethe only otte of its kind in service any-where. This new instrument, it is claim-ed, is the best of its' kind. and Superin-tendent Miles says that in sounding firealarms it is a great inprovement over thedial repeater in the saving of time as wellas in its accuracy.Speaking of this important service Su-

perintendent Miles told a Star reporterthat the Gamewell system of fire tele-graph, which was erected in this city inthe year 1864, served a good purpose forover ten years, and- wab superseded in1875 by the then greatly improved sys-tem of the same company, with seventy-five improved signal boxes located inWashington and Georgetown. The cen-tral olfice was equipped with an automaticrepeater, with capacity for seven signalsand four alarm circuits, and a single dialmahual repeater, with provisions for fouralarm circuits. This outfit was the verybest then known and for twenty years.hasworked with almost perfect success.

Extending the Systemm.But with the rapid growth of the city

new boxes had to be added year afteryear, so that at the beginning of the pres-ent year some ninety additional boxeshave been crowded into seven signal cir-cuitE-an average of more than double thenumber of boxes desirable on a circuit.Meantime the necessity for fire alarm pro-tection for the valuable property ip thesluhurbs became so urgent as to induceCongress to make at its last session asmall appropriation for extending the firealarm telegraph; extension, however, car-ried with it the necessity for additiona.signal circuits, and these could not be in-troduced without switchboard and repeat-ers in the central office and provision fora large number of circuits, so that twonew repeaters and a new switchboard hadto be purchased. Early in the current yearthe Commissioners contracted for a newswitchboard and an automatic repeater,each having a capacity for twelve signaland six alarm circuits, and a three-dialn.anual repeater with capacity for sixalarm circuits and for twenty-seven firealarm boxes, which have been put up re-cently in the suburbs. This new manualrepeater, or rather transmitter, is the firstof its kind.

The New Repeater.Briefly described it represents to the eye

a somewhat massive front behind a bevel-edged plate glass case, standing aboutforty inches long and nearly forty incheshigh, having three distinct dials, eachwithin an oblong opening in its upper front,through which any one of the nine numer-

als can be teen when set to transmit an

alarm, and each dial capable of transmit-ting any one signal from one to nine. Thedial on the extreme right (the unit dial) isarranged to strike from one to twelveconsecutive blows as may be desired, andso is capable of doing its own part intransmitting alarms, and is also used forspecial signal purposes, such as special,second and general alarms, and also forstriking the hour of 12 at middar. Thesimple electrical mechanism of these dialsso act and react on each other that it isonly necessary to set them to represent thenumber of the box received at central officeand then set the transmitter in motion byturning the indicator to strike the numberof rounds that should be sounded on thegongs and bells of the fire department,which may be once, twice. thrice or fourtimes (generally the latter).

How an Alarm f Sent Out.

Suppose an alarm comes to the centralofflice from box MCR. The right, or unitdial, is set at the figure 8 seen through thesmall opening at the tipper edge of thedial; the middle dial is set at the figure 3,and the dial at the left is set at the figure43; the index pointer, or indicator, as wehave called it, is turned, or set at the fig-ure 4, as it generally is, and acts as astarting lever, and the left dial strikes sixstrokes on every gong and bell on eachof the slarm circuits; the transmittermakes the proper pause of about five sec-onds, and then the Eecond or middle dialsounds three in the same manner; anotherpause of the same length as the first and

the right dial sends out eight strikes; thena pause of twenty seconds, when the leftdial repeats its work,, the middle dial repeats Its former number, and the right diatfinishes the second round, ad so on, untilthe four full rounds have been transmitted.The index pointer, or indicator which

starts the transmitter when it Is to sendout an rm, tand, when at rest, at zero.If mov to Igure 1 it causes only oneround to be sent out and automaticallygoes back to its place of rest: If turned tofigure 2 it sends the signals twice, recedingone figure after each round has beenstruck, and so likewise If three or fourrounds are struck.

Turning Uek the -Mai.As soon'as an alarm is finished the oper-

ator on duty sets each of the three dialsof -this instrument at the star. or Seromark, where It remains until anotheralarm has to be sent out.If a box wsith two numbers only, as 251 is

to be struck the middle dial will be set at2, the right hand dial at 5, and a touch ofthe Index pointer sounds the number ofrounds desired.The automatic repeater, with Uts twelve

signal and six alarm circuits. is a veryfine instrument, but in form and opera-tion not unlike those- in use in many ofthe large cities elsewhere.

The Week's Death Record.In his report for the week ending Oc-

tober 19, Health Officer Woodward statesthe number of deaths to have been 142, ofwhich 8 were from typhoid fever, 16 fromconsumption, 12 from disea.ses of the .brainand 3 from violence.
