TIE DOUGLAS MASS MEETTNG.-We were unable
to attend the Douglas mass meeting at Clay Square
respectable affair.
The procession was very large and brilliant
one; in length and brilliancy it was inferior only
to the late turnouts Of the Bell and Everett party
whilst it was two or three times as large as the
| largest bfeoklnridge turnout that has yet taken
place.
The Butterfly Club )" ofthe Second District, was
the feature Of the procession. The Club is very
ltFst pitc anu tIB members were all dressed
black, with red caps, and every man carrying a
tEanparency bearing the picture of butterfly.
They also had beautiful banner with wreath
upon it. The Little Giant Club of the Third
District wore white caps and were a strong body.
The Iron Men Of '60'' were also ous in good force
The banners, transparencies and lights We're yery
numerous. In short it was by far the best turn
out the Douglas men have yet made, and their
large number, respectable appearance and deco
rous behavior along their long line of march
commanded the kindly feeling even of those who
were not exactly of their way of thinking.
We acknowledge with much pleasure the marks
OF courtesy which many persons in the procession
offered to the Crescent office as they passed. In
the order and good behavior of their turnouts the
Douglas men are not whit behind the Bel and
Everett men; and right glad are We to see it.
The BRECKENRIDGE MEETING LAST N1GHr.-The
Breckinridge men crowded Armory Hall last night
a handsome banner was presented to the Young
MEMS Breckinridge and Lane Club by the ladies
the presentation being made on behalf of the
ladies' by Mr.. Requier, of Alabama. Several
strong Breckinridge speeches were made, much
time generally at Armory Hall.
ANOTHER YIGTrM ADDED TO THE Ltsr-We regret
to state that Michael Fitzgerald, the young news
paper vendor, who was taken out from under the
ruins in lafayette street, last Friday evening with
out apparent serious injury, had been injured inter
nalty, and that he died yesterday morning, between
= and 10 O'Clock, IN great agony. He is to be
buried this afternoon from his late residence, cor
ner oil Claiborne and Palmyra streets.
ANOTHER FnE.--Y Yesterday morning, ut quar-
ter past O'Clock fire broke out at Tie corner Of
Gaiye2 and Peraido streets, not far from the scene
Of the disastrous conilagration of last Saturday
noon. rive frame dwellings and an equal number
oi onthouses were destroyed. We were told that
the buildings all belonged to q Mr.. Wilson and
were insured. They were principally occupied by
poor families, who lost most of their furniture. The
ire was supposed to have resulted from inceu-
diarism.
ATTEMPTED AEsoN.-On the 18th instant an at
tempt was made to set fire TO a house, No. 1913
Magazine street, by means of piece of fat pine,
wrapped up in piece of cloth saturated with tur-
pentne and lighted. Two men, named Wm. Miller
and Thomas Whaley, were arrested on suspicion of
being the incendiaries. They We're subsequently
examined before Recorder Emerson and dis
charged.
Latterly, Whaley told the Chief of Police that he
had good grounds to believe that Miller had made
the incendiary attempt. His revelations presented
such serious appearance that Chief McLelland
ordered the arrest of Miller and proceeded with
his investigation. The evidence obtained thus far
we are told is very strong. Miller was arrested on
Sunday night and arraigned yesterday before Re-
corder Emerson, charged, |" upon information re.
ceiYed,,' with attempting to commit arson. He
was admitted to bail in the sum of $l000

Webster, residing on Barracks street, between
DaunhIne and Burgundy yesterday afternoon shot
himself in the mouth with single barrel pistol II
shattered his lower jaw, blew his mouth entirely
away, and the bullet lodged somewhere in the M

klll him. though it was deemed impossible for him
to recover. Dr. Delery was attending to him last

from the effects of insanity, which is hereditary in
him, and more or less visible in his nearest kin.
