But to our crude, cold facts. The body was dis
covered in her humble dwelling on ST. Peter street
watched by an old faithful negro servant, who ap-
peared wrapped in an oblivious, dreamy uncon-
seriousness OF the dead form near by. A paper,
partially saturated with arsenic, was found on the
floor, and the features of the deceased indicated
the marks of the intensely severe struggle of the

The fire we have now tn record brole ont Of tba
hour of o'clock Yesterday morning in the rear Of
cottage residence of Mr.. BIanck, ON St. Mary,s
street, between Laurel and Constance. From this
point it rapidly spread over the greater portion of
the square bounded by St. Mary's, Laurel, Con-
stance and st. Andrew Streets deyouring every.
thing within its fearful range. From our inspection
we conclude that the majority of the buildings
destroyed were occupied by class of our citizens
who are the least able to meet their severe losses,
at this period OF the year especially. The build
ings were principally frame ones, and inhabited by
thrifty mechanics and laborers. Commencing at
the point above Indicated the fire sped on toward
