Destructive Fire Yesterday Afternoon The
Stsam Fire Engine at Work.


About three and half O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon, fire broke out in small stable or 9th
er building on Grey's wharf, Commercial street,
and the flames soon communicated with the
principal buildings on the wharf, entirely des-
troylng three, and nearly destroying the fourth
which was Of brick, three stories in height, and
fronting on the street.
The buildings were used for the storage OF
cotton, paper stock, cotton waste ETC., and a
large amount of those articles was in the build
ingS, which was either entirely destroyed or
very badly damaged.
The wharf property is owned by Mr. James
S. Brander, of New Orleans, and was leased by
Nathan Mathews, Esq. who underlet the
buildings to Dir. Geo. Lawton, the principal
occupant, and the loser of large amount Of
stock. Mr.. Brander is insured at offices in
this city, Providence, R. L, and Charleston, S.
q. TIE other parties named are also insured
but to what extent was not ascertained.
The total loss by the fire is estimated at
about $4,000.
/ Buildings on Ripley's wharf were on fire two
or three times, but were saved without much
injury.
t The Miles Greenwood, steam fire engine
was brought to the scene, arriving about three
quarters of an hour after the fire broke out
and was stationed at the foot of Conveys wharf.
/ There was some difficulty in getting her sue
ton hose ready for drafting, on account of the
coupling being out Of order. Further Difficult
ty existed with her valves or plunges, as she
refused to work, although steam was up in six
or seven minutes after the match was applied
And there was still further delay on account o.
an insufficient supply of fresh water, at the
outset for the boiler. About one hour was
thus lost after her arrival on the ground, when
she got to work and played powerful stream
upon the ruins.
The Miles Greenwood played about an hour
and half until the flames were entirely ex-
tingushed.

CT In Paris the floors of the houses are
so constructed that when fire breaks out in
any part Of building it can generally be ex-
tinguished before it reaches any other part.
The usual method is to fill the space between
the joists with old plaster, and the floors are
frequently laid with brick instead of wood,
thus enclosing the timbers of the floor in a
fire proof case. No confagrations ever take
place in Paris like those of American cities,
and when fire does break out it is generally
confined to single apartment.

EvANs7rtLE, July 10, 1856.

Mr.. A, II. SANDERS
Dear Sir:--For the benefit of the Enquirer
l wish to state that the Junior Sons ofAmer-
lea" is an order composed of boys from sixteen
to twenty-one years of age; that the obligation
given has nothing to do with voting, with
Catholicism, or any other Know Nothing doc
trine; that it was instituted nine years ago, be-
fore Know Nothingism was heard Of and is
simply an order for the improvement of Amer
lean boys; to learn them Parliamentary rules,
and how to speak. The secrecy connected
with it, is only a protection used by Sons of
Temperance and Odd Fellows, without any
blame whatever.
It's society calculated to improve the
boys of Evansville, and has nothing to do with
politics whatever. Because the names of the
Society is "The Junior Sons Of America" it
should not be denounced. here openly state
that the objects Of the Association are most
praiseworthy, and any one feeling curious
about the matter can be furnished with con-
stitution and learn from that, the nature OF
the whole affair. Furthermore, that this
chapter of the Society was organized four
weeks ago to-day; that it meets every Thurs
day night on Water street over the telegraph
Office, at s o'clock, and that any we'll disposed
boy between sixteen and twenty-one years Of
age can have an opportunity of joining us.
hope Mr.. Hall will correct his statement in yes
terday's paper, that it is branch Of Know
Nothingism," and be generous enoughto state
that he wrote the article without knowing any
thing about the suject The seal. SO mys
terions, means that it is the third Society o
the kind in the State; the stars at each END
mean nothing at all; the tree is the Banyar
tree of India, meaning that "Wh here we branch
we root; and having braucled out in Evansville
as an association of improvement and utility tc
boys, we intend to root here in such manner
! that whirlwind will not move us. The 80
| of U. S. A." happens to be 80. of j. S. A, p
which being interpreted means "Ordcr O.
Junior Sons Of America"

" On Sunday night, says the Syracuse
Standard man named Johnson, who tended
the switch at Lyons, was instantly killed by
the Express train going East from Syracuse.
Those in charge of the train knew nothing OF
the affair at the time it occurred, but the fol-
lowing morning the body of the unfortunate
man was found lying beside the track, with
the head upon the rails rolled by the rails to
pumice. 1t is supposed that he mist have
laid his head upon the track to sleep, while
waiting for the train, and did not awake.
