these statements were true and further whether

issued to search house at Rotherhite, and in it
were found several thousand Congreve rockets,
1000 unloaded shells, and 500 pounds of gun

ROCHESTER,, April %.
About 7 o'clock, the Rochester Temperance
Hotel was discovered to be on fire, and, sad to
relate, four domestcs-three women and one
boy persisted in the flames.
There were about one hundred and twenty
persons in the hotel The scene of confusion
and dismay which occurred was inconceivabe.
Those who persisted were all consumed, ex-

victims--Catharine Conlan, aged about AZ, and
Jane Pheeney, aged about IA.
