FIRE Between four and i've o clock this morn
| ing, fire broke out In a stable adjoining car
pentershop belonging to w. III. Parker, opposite
Bolanger's restaurant on street. In the First
| Ward, and In a short time this property was en-
tirely consumed. Unfortunately, the FIRE commu-
| nicated to the large and handsome brick dwelling
| occupied by Mr.. Milton Garrett, and that adjoin-
| ing occupied by Mr.. F. Lutz the owner Of both
| houses, which were very seriously damaged by
the FIRE; and back building attached to the resi-
| dence Of DR.. johnson was also very badly burnt
| The property Of Mr.. Parker was not insured, and
| Is a total loss. The loss by the burning Of Mr.
Lutz's property is about s., co., upon which there
is partial insurance. The other property 10 said
to be insured Unfortunately, the crowd Of young
| men who had wrought hard to save the property,
were injudciously furnished with liquor by some
person. Many became intoxicated, and riots
4 were about to ensue, when the sober minded cit-
zens interposed to prevent II. Some Of the police
| made several arrests, some Of which parties were
released and others taken away for trial soon
convenient. The trials will take place before
Justice D,ury. UP to the time Of our leaving two
only had been tried. Mr.. Jas. Freer, who tried
to prevent the riot, was arrested and dismissed
Van Loman Johnson was fined for disorderly con-
duct and several others remained fora hearing In
like cases.
| A LAST CHANCE AT THE THEATKR.-Only one
opportunity remains for those who have not yet
seen Professor Anderson's magical performances,
to pay him visit. The last night of magic,
spells, entertainments, wonders, and transforma-
tons has come at last. Tomorrow he is to per-
| form trick more wondrous than any OF the mar
wells he has yet made manifest. 1t consists in no
less than the Transformation of himself. Hey!
presto! and off si ps the magic garment off falls
wand, and the magician become. the actorMthe
| Wizard Of the World is metam orphosed into Rob
J Roy. We believe that the play Of Rob Roy il To
be presented with much spleudOr and great atten
ton to accessorial detail Mr.. Anderson's imper
sonation Of the principal character Is said to be
one Of the best things on the stage. He has made
the study Of that one part labor of love-the love
arising, we believe, from the Circumstance Of his
having spent his boyhood among the scenes o.
| Rob Roy's exploits and adventures.
GAurIER has long been celebrated for the excel
lence of his cuisine and for the admirable system
. and good taste displayed In all the arrangement
Of his well-ordered establishment. But IL wa
natural to suppose that those who enjoyed thu
luxuries served up in such style must pay accord
ingly, and so were not little surprised, in
visit there yesterday, to find the articles upon hi
bill Of fare set down at lower prices than /
| charged at the commonest 'cheapn (so-called
Q | restaurants. Just think Of plate of buckwhea
cakes in Gautiers style, for cents or tea, coffee
or chocolate ditto, or srloin steak, with 'fxins
= bill Of fare. We could not have believed 1t, bu
# seeing and tasting Is believing. 6autier's mum
s Der is 252 Pennsylvania avenue.
Il CENTER MARkxr.-Though the market wa
e largely attended by dealers from the country,
d well as the licensed city dealers who presente
. an ample supply Of provisions of superior quality
d the demand was hardly in proportion, and til
activity Of business was not ual to the expects
, ton. Large lots of fine poultry, neatly dressed
y by country dealers; and this morning the quantit
!; In market was very great. Lots of country por
Z; and beef were also offered from wagons, In Ii
l; space and at the scale house. The hay stand
d were fully occupied at an early hour. The pric,
z have undergone no change Of consequence sine
le last week. frp
