FsaE on SATURDAY MORNING-Loss FIVE
THOUSAND DoLLARs.-The Saw-mill Of Mr..
Vance, located in the Seventeenth Ward,
near McKendree M. E. Chapel, took fire,
about five O'Clock on Saturday morning, and
although the engines were promptly upon
the ground, 1t was almost an hour before any
water was thrown upon tho building. This
was caused by lack Of water in the cisterns
and the fact that the fremen of the ward were
unable to find the key with which to let in q
supply. As soon, however, as water could
be obtained, the mill was deluged and the
fire extinguished. Alsrge quantity of lumber
belonging to Mr.. v. was destroyed, together
with the building, but the loss, which has
been variously estimated at from three to ten
thousand dollars, in our opinion will not ex-
coed five thousand, upon which there is an in
surance of two thousand dollars in the WASH
ington Union Insurance Company, of Cleve-
land. The Ere originated, we believe, in the
furnace, and was far more destructive than it
would have been If the supply Of water had
been large as usual. The firemen worked
with redoubled energy, however, on this ac-
count, and after they subdued the flames, were
kindly invited to breakfast at the house of
Mr.. Naylor, on Front-street, who treated
them with most hearty hospitality.

MARBLE MEDALLION OF GENERAL GARIBALDI.
signor Giuseppe Gionnini favored US on satur-
day last with the sight Of an admirably exc
cuted marble medallion Of the italian patriot
General Garibaldi, which will be on exhibition
during the week at WiswelPs, on Fourth street
Mr.. G.. intends to rsf1e this work Of art and
devote the proceeds to the fund now being
raised to purchase million Of muskets for the
patriots Of Italy. The medallion IS modelled
from photograph taken while Garibaldi was
in New. York, and this, taken with the fact
that the artist is personally acquainted with
the General, has enabled him 10 execute q
likeness, which he hopes will induce not only
his countrymen, but all who are in favor Of
civil and religious liberty, to contribute lib.
orally to the fund.

Death of a well-known German Editor


THE following article was prepared for our
issue of Saturday but its publication was
omitted In consequences Of the pressure upon
our advertising columns.l
At four o'clock on Friday afternoon, a dis
ease which, for several months, has been vast
ing the body Of Mr.. William Rothacker, editor
of the Turnzeitung, ended its labors and car
ried him to another life.
Mr.. R. was born in Baden, in 1928, and at
twenty years of age was found among the
Revolutionists in Germany. With q number
Of others he came to this country In 1848, and
almost Immediately upon his arrival assumed
the editorial chair of German paper which
was published In Wheeling, Va. He after
ward removed to this city, where he became
connected with the Hochwaechter, aud later he
was associated with Fred. Hassaurek, ESQ.,, in
In the publication of the Menschrschte.
This association did not continue long, and
Mr.. Rothacker removed to Pittsburg where
he became connected with the editorial de-
partment Of paper, whose name We have
forgotten. In 1857 he returned to this city,
whore for some months he taught his native
language in our public schools; but he was
called hence In the same year to take charge Of
the Freie Blaetter, published at Albany, N. Y.
In January last the Turner'S elected him
editor of the Turnzistung, with which he has
been connected ever since.
About three months ago, while on his way
from Dubuque TO Baltimore, 10 attend the
Turner's Convention, he was seized with the
disease which was finally the cause Of his
death. He was brought to this city, and,
although he received the utmost attention
from his family, who were at his bedside oon-
stantly, and his friends, who are numerous,
their love could not ward of the blow of the
destroyer, and ho fell, as we have stated,
Friday afternoon.
Mr.. R. was intellectual, cultivated and lib
eral; clever, foroible and spirited writer, and
leaves large circle Of friends, besides wife
and four children, to mourn his all too early
end. His funeral took place yesterday, from
the corner of Vine and Mercer streets, and
was attended by the Turner'S and several other
German societies, and large concourse of
citizens,

will number among other contributors Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Rev. O. B. rockingham, H.
D. Thorean, and F. B. Ssnborn.
The new journal will be liberal in Its tone,
as might be expected from the names we
have given above, and treat all the social
and religious questions Of the day in the
broadcast spirit Of freedom. That it will be
ably edited there can be no question--that it
will succeed we do not doubt.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO FEMALE.--A woman,
whose nsme we have been requested to with
hold, visited Fourth-street dentist on Satur-

Of ether, that she might be better enabled to

result Of the extraction of tooth. Before she
had fully recovered from the effect she left the
Office, but, just at the head Of the stairs, became
dizzy and fell to the bottom, injuring herself
quite severely. She was assisted to q coach
and driven to her residence, but has been 80
Ill ever since that the fears of large circle OF
recovery is q matter Of doubt.

sisters were examined to prove the commission Of
defense, who gave the defendant good character.
The Jury were unable to agree to verdict, and
were discharged.
Three witnesses who were not present when called
in this case had to pay the cost ot dn attachment.

A TRIPLE BURGLARY.-Seme scoundreIs, on
the night of Thursday last, feloniously entered
the store of W. II. Ferrell, In Sabina, Clinton
County, Ohio, and robbed it of jewelry to the
amount of $50, beside quite valuable watch.
They then went to another establishment,
where they found nothing, however, but lit
tie change, which was in the mnney drawer.
They then entered the Postofice, but here they
were met by a large Newfoundland dog, which
frightened them for the balance Of the night
from further prosecuting their burglarious
daaipns

The LOST JEWELS AT TIE CRY PRIsoS.-The
keeper of the City Prison, Mr.. Scott, has given
evidence of his willingness to have the matter
of the missing rings Investigated, and ayers
that the keys Of the City Prison did not reach
him from the hands Of Mr.. Bunker, but had
passed through those Of others before he re-
ceived them. It seems to US duo to all the
parties concerned that this matter should be
completely sifted, and the guilt If there be any,
fixed upon the individual through whose crime
or carelessness the property was lost, and We
heartily hope il may be done.
