WHAT'S THAT EAGLE" BIRD?--A week or so
ago party of jolly ones down town bet their
money on the Eagle Bird; not the srouletto
bird but the good schooner bird called the Eagle.
| With said jolly ones on board, and grub, liquor,
fishing tackle ETC.. said bird spread her wings for
| the ocean and the islands and the Gulf watering
places.
Since then, the jolly ones have been returning
by steamboat. one after one. We have seen blis-
tered hands, and have heard strange mutterngs
that the bird, for all her wings. took notion to
travel by the submarine route, and that the pas
sengers, not liking that route, had to pump the
| bird and themselves all the way 70 Biloxi.
is il true that the schooner had to be pumped
around to Back Bay and hauled on the ways for a
new bottom? Can it be possible that the jolly
crew had to repair to Gus Richards for conso.a-
ton and their thirst was fierce that Tom Flan-
nagan couldn't stand it, and fell down behind the
counter from sheer exhaustion?
/ How about 1t, Alf? They say you struck against
the pumps, and laid down to die. Tom swears by
his blisteis that it Of the trips Harry is
| back, but is rcligiousiy mum. Where are you,
Jim? Nice pleasure trip, that! When are You
i going again, boys? The Eagle is bully bird,
and there's no use talking
Il FIRE.--Between and O'Clock last evening a
fire broke out in the third story of Messrs. J. S.
Relf Il Co.'S large hardware and ship chandlery
i establishment, a double threostory building, run.
ming through from Front I1evee TO Fulton street
4 Just above GraHier. The fire was seen to blaze up
at the Front Leyee end.
4 The flames spread with great rapidity and the
oakum, tarrcd rope, ol turpontinc. ETC., with
which the upper stories were stored, soon rem
dered the confagration one Of terrific dimensions
The fire department, with the steam engine Jack
Adams, were at the spot as soon as the telegraph
bells could bring them. All they were able to do
however was to save the adjoining stores: that o
2. a. Shaw, grocer, on one side, and that of Sam
uel Hayes, hardware dealer, on the other side
Relf & Co.'s establishment was totally destroyed
: with everything in it; and its good and high fir
walls were the chief salvation of the adjacen
property.
We have no precise particulars as to the amour
of loss or insurance. The building was wort
| about SIS, ,000: the stock we heard estimated a
$50, goo: and it is believed that the whole amour
is covered by insurance in the different cit
. Offices.
RErEEsHING.-The Coroner was not called t.
hold a single inquest yesterday.
e The investigation into the death of the Sicilia
+ Natli who was foully murdered at the Cit
Park has not been held, owing to the mpossibilit
Of finding witnesses. 1t is doubtful if ever any ligh
will be thrown on the matter. There is rumo
, going around, however, that the murderer wa
very soon after the murder spirited out of the cit
/ through the assistance of his friends.
