Partial Destruction of the Smithsonian In
stitute By Fire.

pN rNA y WASHINGTON, Jan. "a.
This afternoon at 3o'clock a fire broke out
in the Smithsonian Institute building, in the
loft above the picture gallery, between the
ceiling and the root, caused, it is believed, by
adjective fue. The ceiling soon fell in, and
in few minutes the gallery was one sheet OF
tame. The fire as it mounted the central
floor and burst forth in full volume from the
main roof, was magnifcently grand, and a
curious spectacle was presented by the stead
mess of the revolutions Of the aarrometer or
wind register, surmounting the tower, while
the fierce flames were rayenously mounting to
their destination. The windows OF the pie
ture gallery soon burst out, disclosing only the
shell OF the room. There were some three
hundred of Stanley pictures here. He had
negotiated for their sale to the Michigan UNI
yersity. Only five or six of them were saved.
The lecture room, philosophical instruments,
apartments, and most of the valuable instru-
ments in the offices in the towers, and the
original of private records and archives of the
institution were destroyed. The tops of the
principle towers fell. The confagration was
nearly altogether confined to the main build
ing and above the fourth story, the latter con-
tanning the museum, which was damaged more
by water than by fire. The wings aud corri-
doris were not much injured. The large libra-i
ry in the west wing was not damaged. The
furniture of Prot. Henry and other property
was injured by its hasty removal. The full
extent of the loss is-not yet ascertsined. N)S-s

numbers that attended the dances, induced
the managers to get up asecond course, which
they are determined shall be superior to the
other II the thing is possible. We hardly see
how they can improve their assemblies, SO
well are they managed and so happily and

FIRE.-Monday night one of the cars of the
Portland and Forest Avenue Horse Railroad
Company caught fire while it was in the car
house at Westbrook. The car was totally de-
stroyed to the platform, and the building
caught fire near the ridge pole. The snow on
the bailding prevented the fire from spread
5ng. The fire was extinguished soon after it
was discovered, without doing much more
damage than destroying the car, although
there was some twenty or thirty Thousand dol
lars worth of property in the building. The
origin of the fire is dot known.

Decision la the California Mail Contract
Case--Credit for One Hussdred Days Me,s-
Habeas Corpus SO %a@ rs

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a.
Tine long pending claim Of Cormic & Ram
sey upon the government for damages ON &C
count of the abrogation of their California
mali contract, has been decided in their favor
for the full amount of nearly $4,000.
A communication from the Provost Mar
shal General, relative to the terms of service
OF the 100 days troops, was sent TO the Bouse
to-day by the Secretary OF War; Tie confusion
attending the mastering and discharge OF the
men so hastily called into the service, has pre-
vented that careful preparation OF the roiis
necessary TO all its credits, and the Dehen :
would be of inappFecable value compareo
with the extra time and labor imposed upon
the department. The rule was early adopted
not to allow credits for terms OF serVlce OF
less that six months, and II IL snoalo Dc
abandoned, and an effort made to AWARD
credits for thet time of service, the business OF
suppiing soldiers for the army Wouio DC serl-
ously embarrassed.
The writs of habeas corpus on the Superin-
tendent of the old Capitol prison, command
ing him to produce the bodies of Christopher
". Hogan and Ono. Dugan, with dates and
cause Of their.arrest, was made to day. They
were formerly ;employel IS detectives en- the
metropolitan Police, and subsequently Hogan
as special Deceive of the Treasury Depart
ment. While so acting robbery was com
mitted in February last. The trunk of Major
Malone, paymaster in the army, was robbed
OF nearly $1,000. Some time after Hogan and
Dugan werearrested by Superintendent Wood
on the charge of being concerned in the rob-
berry, and they have ever siuce been in Gus
tody. This morning, at the converting of the
general term of the court, Mr.. Wood appeared
and made the following answer to the writ z
The bodies CT Hogan and Dugan are IN my
possession. They were arrested and impris-
oned by the authority of the President of the
Uuited States. do not produce their bodies
by reason of the order of the President OF the
United States, endorsed upon said writ, to
which reference is hereby respectfully made.
The endorsement Of the President on each
writ is as follows: The within named Hogan
and Dugan were arrested and imprisoned bymy
authority! This writ of habeas corpus is sus-
pended, and the officer having Hogan and
Dugan in custody, is directed not to produce
their bodies, but to hold them in custody until
further orders. Giving this order in action to
the court.
