FIRE AND LOSS OF LIVES.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 20

Between 9 b 10 clock last night, the
large Stables in the rear of the Western
Hotel at the corner of Howard and Sara
toga streets, were consumed by fire, and
it 10 most lamentable to state, that four
men whose names are WILLIAM MACK
LIN, WILLIAM MoNELLY, MICHAEL
MoRAN & STEWART 8. Downs were kill
ed BY the falling of the wall and three
or four others were seriously injured
They were engaged at the time in re-
moving some planks, which were under
a shed attached to the Stable, when the
wall fell and completely buried them in its
ruins. The head of Mr.. Macklin was
most shockipgly mangled. Mr.. Downs
has left widow and five children to de-
plore his premature death. We are no,
able to ascertain how the fire originated,
but it is imputed to be the work of design.
The fire commenced in the loft, and from
this circumstance time was afforded to
clear the stables of a considerable mum.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

By the Amethyst, Willis, al Salem,
from Para, information is received tha,
on the 7th ofJanuary, a revolution was
effected at that place, attended with
considerable bloodshed. At 8 O'Clock
on the morning of that day, about 600
Indians from the interior, who landed
two miles above Pala, Joined by the
Government soldiers, made an attack
upon the palace, killed the President,
and eight Government officers, and a.
bout eighty of the Portuguese inhabi-
taDts. The following extract of let.
ter from a young gentleman at Para,
gives some particulars Of the bloody
afray:
"PARA, Jan, IS, 1885.
"We have had very bad row here
1.-The People that made it belonged up
the river. In the first place they kill.
ed the President and the General Of
Arms in the Palace, and then killed
the captain Of Brazilian man OF war
in the street. These three were the
headmen ofthe place. After they had
done this, they took prisoner out OF
prison, and made him President OF Pa.
rs. The affray lasted twenty four
hours. There we're great many Por-
tuguese killed at the same time. A
great many People, male and female,
sought refuge at our house--thinking
they were safer under the Yankee flag"

ing under instructions from the con,@
mittee to make the examination, thaf
from the situation in which Stewart
represented himself TO be across the
street from Governor Poindexter's
house, and the circumstances described
by him as existing at the time, it was
impossible for him to have distinguish
ed one man from another in the pass
age of Governor Poindexter's house
when alSbis are proved by unquesiion-
ed testimony, both as to Lawrence and
Governor Poindexter, at the time
stated by Stewart; the one living
mile and half Distant & the other
most probably at the moment engaged
in the discharge Of public duties,
his committee room 10 the capitol
and when, too, if Stewart is to be cres
dited, his statement to Colonel Brent
and others would go TO fix upon the
President of the U. s. an attempt
to induce him, STEWART, to swear TO
things of which he was ignorant, or
that his statement if given as the Pre-
sident desired it, would have filed
newspaper /; thus duplicating that high
officer in charge Of subordination of
perjury, which the committee, as A.
mericans, repel with disdain--no two
minds can differ ia the conclusion, that
this unfortunate man is guilty Of an
offence of the deepest dye against the
public morals.
rs to Fog, he has obviously been
made an instrument to crafty the ma
dignity Of Others. Stsvart first ap.
proaches him, and gets from him some
vague declaration. Mr. Frost's house
happened to join that in ,ohich Co...
Peinde1ter iued. Mr.. Frost had had
some painting done in his house DUR
ing the Fall, and a small portion Of
the soork remainedto be finished in the
wanter. Laurence Uas a painter
These Uere the facts which wsre to be
worked up into a charge Of conspira-
cy. FOy, at the moment that he is
declaring that he has seen Laurence
go into Coo. Poindexter's house, and
has sUorn to IL, too, does not knoso tho
house in a0hich Coo Poindexter does.
Hepoints to Mr.. Frost's house as the
one IN ohich the Governor lived. I'M
fortunate soitness he has no chance
ofescaping from THIS sad dilemma but
by concurring soith Steuart in stating,
that, although mistaken in the house,
he has seen Laurence for two or three
minutes on one occasion in Gov. Poin.
dezter's house remembers the Uery
day; the vsry hour !; eusry minute
circumstance connected NTH it,.
Letjastice be done 10 this misguided
man. Even in the presence Of TIE jas +
tics he declared he did NOT knoU in
which house Coz. Poinde1ter Hved, &
and auerred he k,,eao nothing calculate
ed to imphcats Co.. Poinde1ter. All
these disclaimers would not do. Colt.
man, member Of the City Council
Government contractor, and a iob6er
aboat the public grounds and streets,
urges him four several times before he
Ooald consent to swear, and finally
had to intimate that he, Fey, would
stand a chance to get the blacksmith
,0ork about the Treasury building,
then soon to be erected, as soas expect
ed, before he pouches his statement on
his coporaI oath.
The committee cannot too strongly
