Destructive Fire in Acknowledgement
Scott's Property DESTROYED,

Yesterday morning, between l and
o'clock, fire broke out in three story
brick dwelling house, the property Of
Gen. Winfield Scott, and lately occupied
by j. A. Golden, Esq, on the corner Of
Grace and sixth streets. This fine build
ing was entirely destroyed, and an ad-
joining three story brick house, owned
and occupied by Corbin Warwick, very
seriously damaged, before the fremen
succeeded in arresting the flames. The
roof and the upper stories of the latter
we're burned and Mr.. WIS valuable fur
niture damaged by fire, water and break
age to an amount believed to be not less
than $1,000, on which there is an insur-
ance of $500 in the Office of the Etua
Company. The house formerly the resi-
dence of Mr.. Warwick, was saved, with
slight damage through the exertions Of
ahe fremen. Gen. Scott's loss is covered
by an insurance of 1900, and Mr.. War
wick's by $1,000, in the Mutual Assur-
ance Office of this city. The fire, evident
ly the work of an incendiary, was COM
municated to General SCOTS house, which
was unoccupied and undergoing some re-
pairs at the time. In view of the late
hour at which the fire occurred, it is won
derful that the whole block of fine dwell
ing houses extending westward on Grace
street did not fall prey to the flames

From the ", Y. TIg6nne
Coal Roads.

We learn with great pleasure, by th'
following letter from the President of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad, that at least one road from our
City to the Coal mines, if not on the mos
direct route at least one far more direct
than any now in operation, is in progress
We had hoped that some convenient
channel of access to those Mines would
been opened this year; but if we cannot
have it till next year, so be it. Let u
have this Road as soon as possible and
then we will consider whether another
still shorter and cheaper cannot be found
for there is business for two such, and
will soon be for half dozen. If Coal
were 81 per ton here at wholesale and
s5 at retail the year round, there could
hardly be limit to its consumption.
OFFICE OF THE ID. L. & W. r. r. Co.
New YORK, May Is, 1854.
TO tie Editor Of the ~ Y. Tribune
SIR: My attention has been called tc
an article in your paper of this morning
headed "Coal," which seems to demand
brief notice from this Office. [ here
with hand you Report showing the pro-
gress of our operations up to the lst Jan,
uary last: since which time no efforts
have been spared to urge the work to
completion. More than 5000 men, and
a proportionate amount of horse and
steam power, are constantly employed
Several sections of the Road are graded
and ready for the superstructure. The
iron is all purchased and a thousand tuns
of it delivered upon the ground. The
Road is being constructed in the most
durable manner for double track,
But, Sir, a Railroad of so miles in
length through country until recently
considered impracticable for locomotive
road, cannot be constructed in few
weeks, or even months. We are now
sending large amount Of coal over the
northern division of our road, which will
be consumed in the middle and western
counties of this State; thereby relieving
this market of a demand for some 200, 900
tuns the current year; and we hope to
furnish to this market direct, during the
season ofle55, some 400, 600 or 100000
tuns-with constantly increasing year
ly supply thereafter.
Should not the foregoing sufficiently
answer your inquiries, We shall be pleased
at any time to pass you over the route
and which we assure you, will be one ot
the most agreeable summer excursions
you can make.

A Lost Family.

D. S. McLane, of Springfield, Mass.
by some unaccountable means has lately
lost his wife and three children. Mr.
M'Lane left Springfield some time since
to prepare residence in Iowa, whittier
he designed removing his family, He
subsequently wrote to his wife requesting
her to come on with the family and meet
him at Chicago. She is known to have
left Springfield on the Goth of March,
since which nothing has been heard Of
her or her children. The husband has
exhausted all his powers and means in
attempting to find the lost ones. Have
they not fallen victims in some of the ca :
lamities upon western waters, where graves
are so often found without name to
designate the occupants

Difficulty in Quakerdom.

A new order of " Friends" has sprung
up in the society of Kennett Monthly
Meeting" Chester county, who style
themselves the Progressive Friends. y
A Committee of the old line Quakers
have published notice forbidding the
Progressives from holding sessions in
their meeting house. The Yearly meet
ing of the Progressive Friends is adVer-
tised to be held in the Meeting House, at
Old Kennett, Chester county, On the First
day, the 2Ist of Fifth month, 1854, but
the other side, the +" old fogies," have
given notice, that if their meeting houses
are hereafter forcibly entered, they a
Zone, who thus enter them, must be an
ewerable for the consequences" Bott
sides present long list of names, and
some difficulty is expected to grow out oi
the matter.

A Humane Act.

One day last week Mrs. Horton, who
resides about three miles west of Owego
saw large pine tree fall directly across
the railroad track. She instantly laid
down the baby. called her husband from
his work, and they both ran to the rail
road, distance of some hundred rods
taking an axe with them. But the tree
was sound, and not less than two feet in
diameter where it crossed the track, the
spot being at short curve in the road,
aud out of view from any considerable
distance. Worse than all, the time for
the train to pass was close at hand. Mr.
Horton Immediately took eff his red fan
mel drawers, tore them in two, and ran
up the road with one leg, while his wife
ran down with the other. In few min
utes the mail passenger train approached
at full speed, when it was arrested by
Mrs. Horton standing on the track wav-
ing the leg of the red flannel drawers on
q mullen stalk. The tree was soon cut
and rolled off the track, with the aid Of
the passengers, who proceeded on their
journey; many lives and limbs doubtless
having been saved BY this really kind
and noble act of Mrs. Horton.
