A Fire Without an Alarm.

When the lire was liist tlNcovcrcd an attempt \\asmatloto turn in an alarm , but after .soveial inullectual turns ol tlio crank a messenger was ' -ent to the near est engine house , wherr no alarm had been received By thu tijuo thu depart ment reached the spot it was too late to do much. Instances of the worse than woitldus--ne s of the prcsont lire alarm system aie getting quite numerous. The council should issue an order for a re- tut n to the good old times before the war , when "liie" was yelled from street to street , and thus reached the engiiiu houses. Tlic Itroailucll Case. The time of the district uouit yesterday was still taken uu with the bearing of the case of the elate vs S A. Uroadwell. Thu evidence for the defense was reached , and seemed to bo to the elleettliat llroutl- wcll in bis rush of business and making of many lo.ms , did not investigate close ly every paper and account , but that the ollieo work was done largely by bis clerk. Dm ane Stearns , who has b'eeh indicted also. Hroadwell could not remember much about any of tliu papers diawn up in seeming the loan , llo did recall the fact that ho had met some persons , by the name of the parties who were repre sented as owning the land on which the loan was secured. The pro-ecution holds that those parlies were myths , and that tin ) names wore used as a part ot the plot to SDCitri ) thu money. Hroadwell could gives no very distinct testimony about them , or about the loan , it Inn ing escaped his particular attention in the \\hirlof business. The testimony was closed yes teiday afternoon , and the arguments commenced to the jury. Cuplil at tlic Altar.

JEFF DAVIS WOULD NOT PRAY. The I'crflistciicc of an Intruder Jtc- wnrdcil in tliu I5ml , Baltimore Letter to the New York Sun : While the two armies under Gen. Grunt and Gvn. Leo w re confronting each other below Peteisburg , President D.ivis became so exhausted by overwork that he determined to re-t for a few das. , His steward was a vvoithy German' named Kggling , who , bclorc the war , conducted a flourishing nursery near Hichmond. Tim president notilied Kggliugof his pur pose to take a n > - \ , and diieeted that vis itors be CNcluded until furtlier oidei > . .Mr. Kgglmg and his assistants cairied out their instructions , and Mr. D.i\i .se renely enjoyed his rest. One night at abouj 10 o'clock tlieic was a stiong pull at the fiont door Lull Mr Kggling answered the call , and on open ing lliu door found standing outside a \enerablegentlenian who gave his namu and Paid liu wished to see ihc jncsidunt on business of gieat impoitancc , Mr. Kggling informed him that the president had roth oil , anil could not possibly bu scon until next morning. "But , my dear sir , " said the caller , who gave his name as Mr. A. , "it will bo too late thiMi , \\ish I to try to save the lives of two < urmui : deserters from the. other .side yi ho aio condemned to bo shot at sunrise us SJIIPS " The mention of the nativity of the doomed men torn-lied a sympathetic chotd in Mr I''ggling's lieait'ami he in vited Mr A to a scat in the hall. After heating the main paiticnhirs ot the ar- icsl and "ontenco of thu supposed spies , Mr. Eggling became interested in their delhoianeu. Ho accordingly left Mr A in the hall , and went up .stairs to Mi- Davis1 chamber Ho opened the door noisole-sly , anil moved on tiptoe acioss the carpeted lloor toward the bed , fear ing thai Mr. Davi.s would bo asleep. The gas was burning dimly. Mr. Davis hap pened to be awake , and asked his cham berlain what he wanted. "Mr President , " said Kggling , "I have been in jour service a long time , and have never , as you know , solicited anv pieial l.tvor from you. " Dr , D.ivib admitted that. "I have one to ask now , " resumed Kgglini ; , "and I hope you will not retuso it. " Ho Ihon icqiicslud that Mr A , who was waiting in Iho hall down stairs , bo iillowed to come up to the chambeu to see Idin on urgent business , involving the lives of two innocent soldieia , The president consented , and in a shoit time Mr A , accompanied by Kggling , presented himself before the picsidcnt , who remained in bed After a short pre liminary conversation Mr. A made known tiio object of his hiibincsss , which was to secure a reprieve for the two men until the charge against them could bo further investigated , President Davis asked various ques tions , and when informed that thu son- Icncu of thu drumhead court maitlal hail Licen approved by ( Jen. Leo , decjared that 10 could not and would not interfere. Mr A. became importunate , and Mr. Davis so far relented as to agree to think over the matter for an hour , at the end of which Mr. A would receive his liuul I dee's'on Mr A tJu u witiulrcw , and nt the appointed time returned to the cham ber vv th Kgglinft The piesidiut eotir- teouslv infoimcd hi guest that he had considered iliopmttor lullj ami could not ehange h ded-ioii " 'Ihe men must die if Hen. lre ha * ap proved the sentence.
