-Gerrai Rotc, Accident, 80 Yesterday afternoon.
a; O'Clock, about 5000 people assembled at hsnii-
.on.square near Sixty ninth st between Taird ana
Fourth avs, for the purpose OF witnessing grand
public exhibition OF the powers OF Phillipss Fire
Arnhilator. In the center Of this large square had
been erected cottage building, constructed Of green
spruce AMI pine boards OF about OF an inch 10
thickness. This structure was ~ feet la hight,
making two stories Snc twenty feet square. On tae
north ard south sce was wing, each being ten fees
wide by twenty eight feet IN length. and twelve toet
IN hight In the sccoIc story were SIX windows, aad
in the first story eight windows and ave doors, three
of which we're open 10 admit OF egress and iagress
In the mlJdle OF the second story floor was cut q
large hatchway or well hole, through Which WAS
perpendicularly placed about a coEen wide pine
blanks one end OF which rested on the ground foor
About the bottom OF these panAs was piled guam

Owing to the severity OF the weather, the CROWD
expressed great uneasinesS at the want OF puncss-
slty in the exper,menteIs but the delay was Goa
sequeRt upon the difficulty experienced In clearing
the building OF some thirty or forty oVer-curious
people who had by some means or other gained adj
mitisnce. The crowd having at length oeen driven
back about twenty feet from the building, the
shawn gs were set on FIRE, and IN moment almoA
the flames had communicated 20 the psnkS placed
through the hatchway. Less than hall minute
had elapsed, however after the pile was hrod, DO
fore four OF the machines were brought 10 bear upon
the flames. The gaseous yapor which poured from
the machines almost instantsneously ertinguishca
the flames. The yapor and smoke cavscd by tue
urpent,ne and shayipgs 30 filed the building that Il
was impossible TO enter IL. The windows OF the
first and second stories we're smashed IN by sosc OF
the workmen, and In two minutes thereafter the
crowd poured into the premises, and even upon the
roof the wings on each side
So little time had elapsed after the building hst
been fred and the application OF the AunhatoI mat
the planks were scarcely chaned. The Gro ed deem-
ing the test unsatisfactory proposed TO ne inc
premises themselves and give the experimentorsa
fair chance. An objection being raised TO ths
proposition by the workmen, general n8ht zoos
place, which. but for the interference OF the NINE
teenth wad Police, would have resulted seriously
to some Of those engaged IN It.
The building was finally fred by the populace IN
several places, and before twenty minutes has
elapsed, the structure was mass OF ruins. Abcss
$50 gallons Of tar, which had been brought on she
ground for experiment, was also set on tre.
The Annhilators loudly called for, but u ap-
peared they were est nrenfns, having eoandoaed
the ground ON the building being fairly fred During
the excitement in firing the building one OF the ma
chimes Was thrown out OF the second story window.
and striking a boy named Michael stanton, on the
head Injured him severely.
The experimenters had twenty-o Aunihilators
on the ground, and all charged. The greater partet
these machines were annihilated by the crowd, ana
scattered in fragments over the ground 80
No attempt was made to extlnguish ths IRE WIN
the Annihilators after the building had been SET -
ere by the crowd. 49,
We are told that it the intention or Mr.. Phil
lips 10 give three or four experiments before the edt
Gce was fully fred and thai the first fire OF shavinss
rot intended to be anything more than inc ieass
of the exhibition.
Since the crowd interfered and experimentedtc
suit themselves, We presume they are convinced
that the Annihilator is a humbug but IL is quite
probable that the public will rather expect fair e.
pertinent. We submit that the persons engaged have
been shamefully treated much to the disgrace The
City.
WIG GENERAL COMMITTEE Both Of
the General Committees are called together this
evening at the Broadway House, and punctua at
tendance requested.
FoaEIGs EMIGRANrs. These poor, un-
fortunate beings, who are constantly arriving on cur
shores in hundreds require better protection than s
now afforded them By our municipal government
The protection which necessary is against that
class OF the community known as emigran. agents.
md h,,av Linz hon loa
few Of our citizens know, or have but faint idea.
in what shameful manner these destitute people
are swindled out of their scanty funds. A meeting
was called few months ago for the purpose Of or
sanizins society for the better protection OF foreign
emgirants. When the time arrived for the meeting
to assemble, 1t was found that the house had been
packed with hundreds Of the yilest looking sooun-
creS ever seen collected together, and most OF
whom were armed with clubs
Their object was OF course to prevent an organi-
zation Of the meeting, and they succeeded. II was
stated the next day that another efor. would be
made by the friends Of the emigrants to call another
meeting, and that such measures would be adopted
as would prevent the from disturbing il. A
several months have now elapsed, and no movement
Of a similar kind has been made we begin 10 appre-
bend the matter has been abandoned. We hope.
however that the persons who originated the first
call will adhere to their purpose and not be driven
from IL by threats, for the evil complained of 10
monstrous one ands disgrace TO eur City.
10 The Delille concert last night drew
a very large audience, and the debussnts vas very
well received Marini's aria bufo was loudly
eoIed.
