FIRE.--On Saturday afternoon about 4
o'clock the upper part Of the steeple of the
Rev. Mr. Pierpoints church was discovered
to be on fire The height of the sieeple is
2O2 feet, and the flames were observed to
come out of holes few feet below the vane
AS there had been several heavy caps of
thunder heard and sharp lightning seen a
lew minutes before near the spire, the fire
was readily attributed to the electric fame.
Our active fremen, soon found their way
up to the steeple as far as access could be
had, and were seen in considerable numbers
on the outer platform some fifty feet above
the belfry. To this height, the hose was
elevated, and two streams were observed for
hours, playing over the vane, and one OF
two more were operating within. The up
per part OF the steepe was composed Of
solid spear of iron some twenty feet long
and from two 10 three inches diameter, i'm
bedded IN wood, the work filled entirely the
surrounding copper, and excluded the fire.
men, from operating on the interior of the
upper part Of the steeple. The consequence
was, that the fire ragged without much inter
ruplion from four TO nearly o'clock
AT this hour, the spindle of which the
vane traversed, having before, been observ-
ed TO lean little towards the north, bent
suddenly over, and precipilated the vane and
tsii, below the vane slipped of, at the
moment the spindle was reversed, and fell
near the church door; the large ball below
the vane, fell on the roof of the church, and
was cast thence with great violence into
yard opposite Fortunately. no person was
injured by the fall although there were
many people on the steeple, aud the streets
and neighboring avenues were crowded.
The fremen exhibited the most intrepid per-
severance: Two or three Of them mounted
ladder that was stepped on the upper plat
form, and extended up TO the very vane to
this fearful height they bore the hose and
one OF them was seen near the top Of the
ladderwith an axe endeavoring to cut through
the copper 1t was appalling to those below

GENr.-Arrived at the Eagle at last, with
most fatiguing journey of Seventeen hours
from Bufalo-Rathbun came in Just before

and remains at the Eagle tonight His
irons have been removed since his arrival,
and he rooms with the Sheriff The crowd
in front Of the hotel, when the carriage con-
tanning him drove. up. was such that he
could not alight until driving round to a.
mother door
The concourse here is great, from differ
ent quarters. Buffalo sends full delega.
ton Gentlemen of the legal profession,
from distant parts Of the State, are here con.
vened, and the public houses are filled to
overlooking. The Buffalo witnesses are
coming in, but not a fourth of those SUBJ
penaed have yet appeared Tomorrow
will probably bring in a good many of those
yet absent The number of the whole, is
about one hundred--but it is thought that not
more than fifteen or twenty will be used
You are aware that three indictments
were found against Rathbun by the Grand
Jury Of Genesee county al the Oyer in Oct
last, at which term the trial was put over
until the present Circuit, on Rathbun's af.
fidavit that he could not then safely proceed
to trial on account Of absent witnesses
The indictments charge Rathbun with
forging the names of gentlemen-on three
several notes. Of $4,000 each, bearing date
the 18th April, 1886, due at four months, at
the Manhattan Bank. N. Y.--alleging that
they were enclosed by Rathbun, from New
York, to David E. Evans, of this place, in
letter stating that he (Raihbun) could obtain
$4,000 from that Bank, on notes signed by
Evans, and endorsed by himself-enclosing
also three notes, filled up, for Mr. Evans
signature, for that purpose, and requesting
him TO retain, in his private desk, the en-
dorsed notes as security; with assurances
tina, he would himself take up the notes of
Mr. Evans, and send them to him. The in
dictmenis also state that the notes were sign
ed by Mr. Evans, as requested, and returned
to Rathbun, who negotiated them, and when
they became due, they were taken up by Mr.
Evans.
understand there are two material
counts in the Indictment, one charging upon
Rathbun the forgery Of the endorsers names
alluded to. and another for passing the notes,
knowing the names to have been forged
The offence charged in the second count
would be forgery in the second degree.
He will be put on his trial on the first in
dictment, and the others hang on its issue.
Should he be acquitted. he is of course re-
moved back to the prison Of Erie Co. TO await
his trial there in July next. II, however,
he is convicted here, he will not be subject
to trial under the numerous various indict-
ments found against him in Erie Co.

Serere Peeaniary Distress-The south
and southwest are at this moment suffering
an almost unparalleled pressure in the mon
ey market--the end OF which cannot be
foreseen by the wisest calculators. The
breaking Of some leading houses in New
Orleans, carrying with them their branches
and dependant houses 1--WE fear to write the
number rumored) has alarmed the mercan-
tile and agricultural community Of Missis-
sippi Banks have frightened their purse
strings in self defence; and the merchant,
unable TO collect his debts and the planter,
unable to carry on his farming operations
without the ayails Of acceptances on the
credit of his future crop. both are uncertain
where their resources are TO come FROM
The speculator, unable TO sell his lands TO
meet the payments falling due upon them,
is still more at loss for the means to pre-
ven, the gilded castle Of his immense wealth
from becoming ian airy nothing"
The brokers, who have any money left,
sell it in Natchez on good endorsed notes at
seoen per cent. per month. Business men, OF
course will give no such prices, as they may
as well be ruined by failure as by the
equally sure operation of exorbianl interest.

ported cold reception given to Santa Ana was
altogether a misrepresentation. He was
welcomed with great enthusiasm by the

after he landed during which time, the
news of his return had reached the capital,
and many other important points, from all Of
which. letters giving account of demonstra-
tons of great joy for the deliverance OF
