Fire. About O'Clock on Saturday night, a
new unfinished three story brick house in N.
Calvert street, was entirely consumed by fire.
The house was being built for Mr.. G. S. Grit
fifth, by MIR. E. Faulkner, carpenter, who has
an insurance of $1,000 in the Franklin Insur-
ance Co. of Philadelphia. The house adjoin-
ing, in which Mr.. Griffith resides, was injured
to the amount Of S3O0-insured in the same
office. Mr. Griffith lost considerable in the re-
moval of his furniture, on which he has no in
surance. There can be no doubt that this fire
was the work of an incendiary, an attempt
having been made on Friday morning to fire it.
.4not4er. Late on Saturday night, or rather
early on Sunday morning, the carpenter shop
of Wederkind s. Malone, at the corner Of Eu-
taw and Marion streets, was discovered to be
on fire. Several fire companies being immedi-
ately in the neighboihood, it was subdued with
but little damage.
.qccident-Deaih of a raluable horse. A large
and valuable horse belonging to the Baltimore
and Ohio Rail Road Co., was accidentally kill
ed in Pratt street, opposite the Three Tuns Ia
yern, about o'clock on Saturday evening, by
running against the shaft of a cart. No blame
can he attached to the driver of the cart, or the
rider of the horse, as we are assured by gentle,
men living in the neighborhood that it was
purely accidental, the horse having slipped, and
in falling, fell with his breast against the shaft
of the cart, causing instant death.
The alarm of.fre, on Friday night, about s
o'clock was caused by the burning of a carpen-
ters shop, situated at the corner of franklin
and Park streets, the property of MIR Wall.
