THE EVENING NEWS.
F,nx.-The large building, Known as

FIRE.-The large building, known a!
the Belveder, Virginia, was last nigh
destroyed by FIRE. The FIRE was evident
ly kiudled by an incendiary, and wa.
started about half-past 10 o'clock, in
the caves of the porch. It burned very
slowly at first, and it was nearly a quar-.
ter of an hour before the flames reached
the main building-even then the pro-
gress Of the FIRE was by no means rapid,
owing to the building being hard fin.
ished. The building was the property
of DR.. Pinkerton, who built it at o cos,
of about SIS, 900. The only water in the
vicinity was that afforded by a we'll. No
attempt was made to save the main
building, but all the water was used
upon a building adjacent, which was
used as q dancing hall, and which was
finally saved. AS it was known that o
supply of water could not be obtained
for the engines the ERE bell did no,
sound an alarm. Young America En-
CINE Company started to run to the FIRE,
aud got as far as the corner Of d and
Taylor streets, when they ran into and
tore out the whole side and end of u
small frame building next but one to
the corner. The men on the tongue,
James Phelan and John Leconey, were
not very seriously injured; they escaped
with a few bruises. David Stearns,
who was attending the brake, vas
thrown against q building while going
down Taylor, before reaching D street,
and received a severe cut over the eye.
The engine was but slightly damaged.
Mr.. Feusier was agent for the building
destroyed by FIRE. 1t was rented for
one year at $40 per month, hut for two
months has been unoccupied.
PrrER's.-A irst-rate performance
last night. We had the pleasure OF
witnessing and hearing the last portion
of it, and can couscientiously approve.
Miss Jennie Morton danced a hornpipe
art;stically, and was in the middle of q
new song and dance when there was an
alarm of Ere. Pell-mell, and in spite
of Miss Jennie's and Jchn Piper's assu-
rance that the fire was way below town,
the audience almost TO an individual
rushed into the street. Miss Jennie's
new song and dance is very lively her
clog dance chorus being the best per-
Torrance of the kind we have ever seen.
The after-piece was an Irish story OF
"Leaying Old Ireland for America" in
which Miss Katy 0'Neil sings 1.-THE
Wearing Of the Green in pathetic style.
Charley Rhoades makes the most Of the
sketch of a character the piece affords;
and Foster is fearfully and wonderfully
made up for the occasion. The tableau
finale shows Miss Jennie Morton and
Pat" Rhoades leaving the wharf for
the ship that's bound to America. The
nitro-glyceriue act, by Rhoades, Tuers
and Sprung, is q warning to all men
