THE EVENING NEWS.

O'Clock, an alarm of fire was given IN Viz
ginia, which proved to issue from the cry
Goods establishment of Mrs. y. E. Irwin,
Son,b B street. 4 huge quantity OF
.roke WAS seen issuing from the doors
.,d windows, but the engines, No. es-
pecially, got a. work in hurry, and put
The flames out. Chief Engineer Williams,
anon looking over the premises, came to
he conclusion tina; there had been foul
pIav. and forthwith caused the arrest OF
il, Martin Smith-who has had charge Of
the establishment for the past few months
on a charge of arson. The following
are the circumstances as near as We can
learn: Philip Stoner occupied room
in the building, and was awakened by
smith. who told him the place was burn
ing up. S,oner a: once hurried up, and
passed through the salesroom TO the street.
When he left the salesroom there was no
6re there. but recollecting his watch, left
under his pillow, he hurried back and
found the room on fire in two places, ana
Smith still there. Through an examina-
ton of the premises, we find that fire
was started with turpen;ine in the rear of
the building, which is OF brick; another,
and evidently distinct fire, Is apparent Us
having been started in the inside of the
building and in the room occupied by
Smith. In the front room there were TWO
separate fires started after Mr.. Stoner had
left the same and before his return thereto
Smith being the only occupant of the
building except Mr.. Stoner. The facts
are overwhelmingly conirmatory Of
Smiths guilt; the incentive TO the crime
being Il desire 10 obtain the insurance,
which amounted 70 $4,000. He will
have judicial examination tomorrow.

TERRIBLE ACCOMMODATIONS 10 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Media, Superin-
tendent of the Succor Mil, between Gold
Hill and Silver City, while working in one
OF the pans in the amalgamating room,
over which car track passes, was caught
in the machinery and so seriously injured
that his life is despaired Of. Il appears
that while he was working in the pan the
machinery was set in motion oy some mis-
take, without the knowledge Of the I'M
fortunate man. He WAS caught BY the
mullerS, drawn under the car track and
terribly crushed and bruised. It IS
thought that ne cannot possibly recover.

and the lower part OF his body are para
lived, and that there remain little hopes
Of his recovery.
