suffocated by being crowded upon and crushed, on
platform of the stairs leading from the Navy street
entrance Of Public School No. II, City of Brooklyn
by the boys crowding upon them in the excitement o'
the fire on the Goth day OF January inst. The jury
recommend that School buildings be erected of only
one story high instead Of two more, and thai the
entrances be made wider and more convenient, and
not have 30 many scholars confined in one building
We further find that the fire was caused by faulty
construction Of the hot-ar pipes leading from the iur
naces with reference to their position relative to the
woodwork; and we recommend that in future more
care be taken in the construction Of these heaters and
that double tin pipes be used instead Of single tin pipes
We also entirely exonerate the Principal of the
school and the assistants engaged under him from all
blame in reference to the origin spread OF the IRE;
but that they behaved nobly throughout the whole
excitement, and endeavored, with all the means at
their command, 10 conduct the children out OF the
building safely.
We earnestly commend the course taken by Coro-
ner Isaac h Smell in giving this thorough ln-
vesteation such as the circumstances demanded.

SECOND BOARD.
THCRspAY. Jan. 2l-P. N.

The stock market to-day has been active, but with
10 marked speculative feature excepting in Curnber-
land, which the recent buyers have pushed to Isl.
The purchases to-day have been about 600 shares
opening at II and closing at Isl, against l5a yeser
day. 1t appears to be the intention of these parties to
buy the entire capital stock, and the bears are very
cautious in putting out their options. Rock Issnd

and closed at COZ e. reaction isvery natural after
the recent heavy fall in this stock, and there sp-

that opposition line is about to be established
by Mr.. Charles Morgan, with the Sierra Nevada and
Orizaba Oh the Pacific, and the Tennessee and some
other boat on the Atlantic Of the truth of the rumor

An intimate friend Of Douglas, straight
out Buchanan man, and Douglas and
Buchanan Democrat from Illinois have gone
to Washington to hold conference with the
President concerning the condition Of affairs,
and to see IL an "arrangemeni" cannot be
made satisfactory to oil parties. The propo-
sition is to hold new State Convention,
take half Of each ticket, and let Douglas
run, unopposed, to make the best he can.--
We don't think the thing will work. Douglas
wont be permitted to run as the Democratic
candidate for Senator until he purges him
self Of the charge of opposition to the Ad-
ministration, to the entire satisfaction OF
Old Buck.
ANTHRAX Meeting at Charleston.
The meeting At Charleston, yesterday, in
opposition to the. Railroad Tax, though not
very large for county meeting, was very
respectable both as to numbers and charac-
ter. The proceedings were very orderly and
the action of the meeting upon all matters
was unanimous.
The resolutions adopted were moderate in
tone and purpose and look only to legal
contest against the payment Of taxes levied
for Railroad purposes.
The Official proceedings Of the meeting will
appear in our paper tomorrow.

kSox CorSfY, lLL.--We learn from the
daiesburg Democrat that the village OF
Oneida, In Knox county, in that State, was
visited by disastrous confagra.ion on Mon
day night last. One block of seven or eight
stores and one or two adjoining buildings
were destroyed, in the business part Of the
town. We have no particulars as to the
names OF the sufferers, but learn that the
total loss is about S25 200. man named
Wall, who bad been prosecuted for liquor
selling, and another man named Holt, an 40
comphco, have been arrested on the charge
OF having set the fire. The evidence against
them seems conclusive, and they were COM
mitted to await trial.

WASHINGTON. Auv On.

WAsuIsorox, Aug. 20.
The President, after consideration. has
confirmed the appointment Of Mr.. Fonda o.
Postmaster st Troy, the contestant, Mr.. Mo-
Arthur, having already IN Office worth al.
100 per year, in which there 10 no likelihood
of his being disturbed. The President de-
clines to rescnd the former order.
Patrick Grattan, appointed Postmaster at
West Troy, has also been confirmed and his
commission ordered to be issued.
1t is not probable that our Government
will agree to the Csss Herran Treaty as
amended by New Grenada. General Jones
states that he has come here with extraordi-
nary powers, and to act in conjunction with
Yrissarri, apprehensive that he would not be
officially received until satisfactory explana-
tons were made concerning the conduct OF
Nicaragua, OF which our Government COM
plains. He represents he has full authority
to make full reparation or apology and to
arrangea treaty.
