LOCAL DEPARTMENT.

SECRETARY SEwAnD's RESIDENCE ON Fire.
At quarter to one o'clock this morning an aiarn,
offre was sounded from box ~, corner Of Sixteen
and-a-half and II streets, for a FIRE which broke
out under the stairway which leads from the
main hall to the second loor in Secretary Sew
ards residence, on Fiftccn-and-a-half street.
The fire, 1t Is thought, was the result Of an acci-
dent by one OF the servants. The first alarm
given was the cry of the military guard, on duty
there, one of whom fired his gun.
Col. Robert Morrow, the Presidents private
secretary, and Messrs. Joseph 5. Sessford, l..
Vcssey, and John =. Coyle were near by and re-
sponded quickly. by the speedy application of
buckets Of water they kept the fire well under
until the engines, which made good time, ar
rived, and soon the FIRE was extlnguishcd, the
fremen having to cut portion Of the staircase
away. The hall carpet was speedily removed,
before the hremcn turned pn the water, by the
policemen, who representa- present the First,
Second and Third wards. The are having been
uubdued, the Honorable Secretary set out his
liquors for the trcmen and police.

evening servant girl In Mr.. ]. Falls family,
living on Massachusetts avenue, was requested
to kinde fire In the bedroom. Previous to do
Ing so she ignitcd match for the purpose of
lighting the gas, and threw, as she supposed, the
match Into the stove, instead of which the match,
from some unhccountable means, fell upon her
dress, and In few moments she was on fire.
The poor girl, in her fright, ran from the third
story down to the kitchen, thus guiekening the
flame. Fortunately, however, Mr.. Falls heard
with great difficulty In extinguishing the flames.
This he did at great risk, severely burning his
hands in putting out the flames, which, but for
his presence, would doubtless have proved fatal
TO the poor frightened girl. The servant is in a
