Exactly who is and who 10 to be Commits

tion Of alarge number of people, and especially
correspondents of the press. We learn, from
the best authority, that Mr.. Rollins Is still
Commissioner, or was Commissioner last
evening" that he can only be displaced in two
ways: First, by the confirmation of ur. Cum
mings, who was nominated to the Senate, and
was notconnrmed nor rejected by that body for
want Of time, and his nomination Ia, there
fore, among the unfinished business when the
Senate next meets; second, by suspension by
the President for cause. There being no good
cause under the law for Mr.. Rollins removal,
the President, we understand, does not con.
template any action, unless MIR. Rollins re-
signs Internationally, which he may do on ac-
count OF his failing health, the illness OF his
wife, and on that account the necessity OF
giving closer attention to his domestic affairs
and private business. Hon. Columbus Delano,

New York, June l9-About half-past
nine o'clock last night. Metropolitan fire
engine No. 9 exploded in front Of the
Bowery Theater, killing FIVE young men
under twentysy ears of age. One Of them
was blown from the sidewalk into the
doorway ofsthe Bowery Theater, some
twenty feet. The conclusion also nearly
overturned a passing horse car, which
was crowded with people. The wounded
will number nearly forty, but many are
hurt only slightly. One account says
The engineer, in charge was not a
competent person, being a blacksmith.
Edward Roche, one of the fremen, who
was wounded, states that he was
about t. fix the safety valve. when the
spring Of which broke, and then the ex.
plosion occurred, the boiler, fortunately,
exploding downward. All the wounded
but one Mr., 7. CLARK, Of Conuecticut be-

three or four Of them will die from their
injuries. The utmost excitement and
Consideration .ensued in the vicinity Of
the explosions during the night, but all
was quiet this morning.
