there were several thousand Fenians in the
Galtees mountains, but they had no means of
carrying on an offensive war; nor could they
hold their ground against an attack. These
men had been drawn from their homes, and
when collected together found that no prOvis-
ion had been made to supply them with even
the rudest weapons. They had been drawn
into grave peril without there being possibili-
| ty of their reaching their homes. This is the
case also with those assembled in the Tippera-

unreasonable and unfounded The entire north

The burning of Winter Garden Theatre
Loss of Edwin Booths Wardrobe
Damage Estimated at $500, 900.

NEW YORK, March e.
At about o'clock this morning an employee
of the Winter Garden Theatre, having occa-
sion to open the stage trap door, discovered the
cellars underneath to be on fire. The alarm was
Immediately given, but before the engines
could reach the scene of the comfagration, the
flames had communicated to the upper portion
of the building, and in fifteen minutes from
the first discovery of the fire the theatre was
reduced to smouldering mass of charred
roins. The fremen finding it impossible to
save the building directed their efforts to pre-
vent the flames from spreading to the adion-
ing building, the Southern Hotel, in which
they happily succeeded. The injury done to
the hotel by water was very great, as the cur
tains, carpets and furniture have been much
damaged. The fire is the most disastrous
which has occurred in this city since 1865, and
involves a loss of about 100000. All the prop
erty of the theatre, including the magnificent
wardrobe of Edwin Booth, were consumed
Ldter.-By the Winter Garden fire Mr.. Booth
losses his entire wardrobe, valued at from
$4,000 to 100000. 1t includes many family
jewels, some of which belonged to his father.
He is not insured. The loss in theatre effects
is about 100000; insured. The damage to the
Southern Hotel is estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000. The building was owned by the heirs
of the Lafarge estate, and was valued at $780,
600; covered by insurance
