FIRE AND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES night, about
1O o'clock, hre was discovered in q frame
stable, corner Of irh and ID streets east. the
property Of Mrs. Ann Z. Dooley. The alarm
sponded promptly, but the stable and a lot Of
hay were destroyed before the firemeu could
bring the apparatus TO act effectively upon il
and they turned their attention TO the saving of
adjacent property. The loss was not more
than 500 While the steamer Rucker was on
the way TO the fire, the foreman called 10
the driver, AZ street and Maryland avenue. to
attend 70 something. The driver turned in his
seat 10 ask what tho foreman said, and a wheel
of the engine struck large stone, and the
driver was iolted from the seat, and falling In
front Of the wheel, It passed over his ankle,
believed, not seriously fracturing the bones.
The horses ran away with the steamer, passing
down X street till near the bridge; when they
turned east, down by the canal side, till near
Sd street, the steamer capsized. The springs OF
the steamer were broken. and an ugly indenta-
ton appears upon the air chamber.

from tNe f1uTt6 LTUS hcHCuChtUW
ARentleman who recently happened to be at
the village of Niagara, in Canada, spent few
pleasant hours with tue distinguished gentle
man whose name heads this article. 1t will be
agreeable to the friends of General Breckinrdge
TO learn that at the time referred to he was in
the enjoyment of excellent health, and never
looked better. He was living in modest Style,
and giving his personal attention to the educa-
ton Of his children. He has since sailed TO
EnTopeN and in all probability will settle for the
present In the south of France, or in some
Locality having similar climate. He designs
70 place his two younger children at school In
Switzerland.
The reports which have been circulated, of
large contributions of money made by his friends
n the United States, are wholly untrue, or
greatly exaggerated. for we learn that the
money upon which he has been living since his
solourn In Canada was few thousand dollars
saved from his salary as a Confederate General
and obtained in gold in Cuba. The expenses of
living IN Canada are comparatively light, as
General Breckinridge occupied neatly fur
nfshed house, sufficient Tor his family and the
generous entertainment of such friends as
sought his snciety. mt a cost OF only $l2 per
same reasonable rates.

SHOCKING CALAMITY.
Two Men SufIOcated In Burning Well
Marrow Eacape Of a Third.

[Erom the Toronto Globe, 2d.l
The vicinity Of the village Of Leslieyll1e, on
The KingBton-road. was the sccno Of intense
excitement yesterday morning, occasfoned
by the sutIocation Of two human beings IN q
we'll and the narrow escape OF third. It ap-
pears that Mr.. Drockwell, residing III tie
locality, had we'll on Ills land which had
run dry during the winter by the stoppa.e
Of spring In the bottom of The well, which
gushcd through rock. As, therefore, there
were but two or three feet Of water
In the wcll which was forty-two feet deep, q
and thus open the spring. Operations were
commenced early yesterday morning, and NJ.
Sears at once proceeded to drill the rock. hlr.
Sears had been working with the drill for
considerable time, when, the men not hearing
from him, 3lr. Drockwell also vent down,
and, as be also did not show signs of moving,
after lapse Of time, third man was lei
when he cried out, asking to be drawn up, as
be was audocating. By this time the
whole inside Of the we'll IVES cloud
Of smoke, and the rushing Of water
could ba distinctly heard, while strong
smell Of gas prevailed around the mouth Of
the well. Persons who were about 1t were
startled, aud for moment could hardly make
out the fearful state Of at{airs. A candle was
then sent for, to enable them to see into the
well; but while they were striking match
within few feet of the well, tie gas took dire,
and instantly the well was In 1ames, which
spnrted ont eight or ten feet into the mir. 1t
continued to run In this manner for about
three hours, without any intermission. The
well was then covered with planks and
manure to try and extingulsh ihe flames,
but with no effect. Finally bag Of salt wai
poured in, and the flames ceased. On tn-
spect1on 1t VAS found that the well was
nearly filed with water although few hours
before 1t Waa almost dry. Grappling irons
were procured, and in short time the bodies
Of the two men were recovered. The Court
street STEAMER had previously to this been
sent for, but the flames had been extlnguishel
wien 1t arrived. During this time the water
and gns had been bursting from ths we'll, aud
the watcr boiled continuously all yesterday
afternoon. An inquest Was held on the bod
les, and a verdict to the effect TINT they died
rom inhaliug poisonous gasses rcturned.
Sears and Rockwell leave wires and families
to mourn their untimely end.
