DeRosaet. one of its most useful and valued citl sens. one who waa pre eminent among tne best in every characteristics, that dignifies good ctiizenihip. N ot even tbe language of bereavement can easily ex aggerate bis claims opon private affec tion and public regard and reapect. He had in tbe bigheet degree all the in stincts which set men right and make tbem true, and all tbe courage and con science and unselfishness which kep them so. Hia aense of duty in every re lation was so blended witb an active tense of the obligation to discbarge it that no temptation coald swerve and no aierifice could hinder him. With all the kindly and gentle gifta which make men loved by thoee about tbem. he anited the sternest and most stalwart of the qualities oa wblcb communities may lean in times of crisis or ot peril. Only those who have seen htm tried could realize how largely the elements of leadership were mingled wiih the sim ple and tender traits of his quiet and modest life. The people among whom be lived so long, and of whom he de served eo well, will doubtless do largr i j nice totbis memory.

Last night was a decidedly disagree able time for a fire, unless in a stove or a fireplace, bat destiny could not post pone an event of this kind on account of the inclement weather, And to at 10 80 o'clock an alarm toanded from box 59, Seventh and Qaeen streets, and the deoartment waa soon on ita way to the fire, the truck of Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 leaving Ua house as tbe fire bell commenced to ring the number of the box tbe second, time, although all tbe firemen, except one man who was on watch.were fast asleep in their re spective beds. The fire was located in a one-story frame dwelling on Dawson street between Seventh and Eighth, and the bouse wis one mass of fUmes when the department reached the scene, and offered tbe new department tbe first chance yet afforded toahow their worth, though many difficulties were presented, .mono which was the nearest hydrant being three blocks away. Chief Haney, although the building was wrapped in flames and the smoke decidedly dense in and about it, did not hesitate a moment, but ordered the firemen to enter the building, and then, nozzle in band, led the way, fol lowed unhesitatingly by the firemen; and as tbe fire was on the inside of the build ing the firemen were commanded to fight it from the inside, and in a remarkable short elapse of time had tbe fire under perfect control, owing to Chief Haney's cool jidgment and faithful performance of duty by tbe men, who never for one instance questioned whether an order was right or wrong, but obeyed every command. After tbe fire bad been entirely put out the hook and ladder boys took brooms and shovels, which are carried on the truck, aad cleared out all tbe debris inside the house. Oi coarse, the bouse was badly damaged, although tbe frame work is standing intact. Generally when a fire similar to this occurs in one of the remote districts of tbe city it means a loss of anywhere from three to six housss. Toe bouse was owned by policeman George Bell, colored, and was occupied by W. H. James and family, colored. Nearly all the contents of the home were saved. To a defective fl the fire is attributed. The alarm was sent in by Mr. fene Brown. The damage to the house was covered by insurance. THE FIB,E)"p"aRTMEST.

Scbnibben did not return from Atlanta yesterday, as expected, but will probably arrive to-dav. The four shut-eft" nozales and flexible pipes, Callaban-maxe, which Mayor Wright ordered on tbe 3rd instant from the fire department supply house of F. H. Hay ward & Co , New York city, (as told at the time in tbe Star), arrived yesterday, and were examined by Chief Haney and pronounced all right. At the same time the nozzles were ordered a chemical engine, a two-horae hose wagon and two thousand feet of hose were ordered. The hose is expected to arrive during tbelatter part of this week and the en gine about Christmas, but the wagon not before the early part of February. The brass sliding poles were placed permanently in position in the bouse of Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 yes terday, and poles will be placed in the other houses to-morrow. Last night a Star reporter dropped into the Hook aod Ladder house to have a social chat wtlh Chief Haney and his men, and during his visit was induced to slide down one of the poies, whicb feat Chief Heney says he accomplished very gracefully (?) The fire lads have masteiea tne ui v- sliding already, and hardly touch the poie at tne top bottom ready to respond to an alarm. Foreman Monroe says after to-morrow visitors will be welcomed at the bouse .and shown around, between the boars ol 8 and 5 o'clock in the after noon. The boys at the truck bouse say that Fireman Peterson simply "scorches"' down the sliding poles, although Fire man Wannamaker says that he is confi dent that he (Wannamakei) is the quickest kid dat ever tackles de pole."
