Particulars IT the Burning of the North
western FrriGIt Depot III Chicago.


4 ire broke out in the freight depot Of
the Chicago anG Northwestern Railroad
Company, in Chicago, on the afternoon OF
Sunday. The flames spread with friGhtful
rapldltv, and III a shorter space of time
than that IN which We can write it the ire
mendous building was one mass of roaring
tlre. avery strong wind prevailing from
the northeast lashed the flames into a state
Of almost uncomfortable fury, and it was
soon apparent that in spite of the eXertions
of the fire department, the main structure,
and another about fifty feet westward,
would fall a prey to the devouring element.
Several freight cars near both buildings
were reduced to ashes, and, but for the as
sistance of IA number of spectators, a great
number of these vehicles would have been
burned mp. The wind drove red-hot ashes
from the scene ofdestruction TO great dis
lance and caused considerable damage. A
long row OF wooden buildings on DeSplaines
street, Immediately west OF the burning de-
pots, were treated to terrible shower OF
cinders, and the occupants had plenty to
do to keep the roofs from taking fire, which
they partially succeeded in doing The
shingles caught fire in several cases. but
were promptly extinguished with buckets
of water.
After Il hard fight the flames were SUBJ
dued, and with the exception of about for
ty feet of the smaller building and vast
heap Of blackened smoking ru us, nothing
was left TO indicate the nature Of the prop
erty which had bat few hours before oc-
cupied the ground. The frenen had to
work on the ruins until late at night
The structure III which the flames origi-
mated was $50 feet long, 40 feet wide, and
one story in height, and was worth, proba-
$50 feet long, 100 wide. and one story in
height. and was worth about $4,000. From
this freight house the greater portion
of the merchandise stored, consisting
principally of pork and -four, was rescued,
while the vast accumulation of goods in the
former building, consisting of -four, cotton,
haxs eed, wool, ale, wheat, broom-corn,
ETC., was an entire loss, and it is estimated
that the total amount of destruction will APP
proximate $4,000, on which there is be-
lieved to be full insurance
Beyond the discovery of the flames as
given above, nothing definite could be
learned in regard to the origin of the fire.
A report was circulated that quantity of
matches were stored in the depot. which
had become ignited, while another report
gained currency, to the effect that the flames
had started by the spontaneous combustion
of quantity of oil rags. Neither of these
reports have, however, been traced to any
reliable source, and beyond these surmises
the affair is shrouded in mystery CHICAGO

ATRoCIoUs MURDER NEAR INDIANAPOLIS "A
Man AND WIFE Killed IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
A letter from indianapolis gives the fol-
lowing particulars of murder even more
extraordinary than the killing of young
Tesch, near Milwaukee, last summer.
On Saturday afternoon Jacob Young, a
highly respectable citizen of this city, to-
gether with his wife, as was their custom
on pleasant days, started from their resi-.
denee ter a ride, and early this M rning
their bodies were discovered about two
miles above this city ON the banks of the
river, and their horse tied to a tree a short
distance off. Mrs Young had pistol ball
in her head, and her clothes were entirely
burned from her body, and the lower part
of her abdomen and thighs were burned
to a crisp. Her husband was found living
about eight feet from her, with the whole
of the upper part of his head blown off,
and double barrel shotgun lay some ten
feet distant, with only one barrel dis
charged, and both hammers ut full cock.
tits believed they were murdered, as Mr..
Young had considerable sun of money
i'll his possession in the morning, and none
found on his person when discovered. His
pOcket-boOk was found rIfied of its con-
tents. and lay several feet fro1a his body
Mr. Young was quiet, unobtrusive citizen
of high moral character, and lived happily
with his wife. The whole affair is shrouded
in mystery, and has created great excite
ment here The cOronef's jury held a
short session, and elected the above facts.
Mr.. Young was formerly connected with
Dorsey 4 Laymans wholesale hardware
house in this place; but of late has not
been engaged in any active business.

Love ana Murder.

About twenty months ago Il man named
Bartlett a tailor IN Ashley, Ohio, working
for Powers 4 Bell, lost his wife by death
Having two children to care for, he EN-
ployed in Cardington, Marian Tyler, il
woman about 81 years OF age, as house
keeper During her residence in bIr. Bart
iett's house she, il Is evident, conceived 4
violent passion for him. For the youngest
boy her love has cqualed that of mother
For year past, AIr. Bartlett has been
paying his address to young lady residing
some seven miles from Ashley and on Sat
urday he started out to see her. Before
going, however ne told Miss Tyler that as
he was TO be married eli "Wednesday, the
9th instant he would have no further use
for her services. This, 1t seems, set Ler
wild, aud she determined on the course
which has had such terrible ending.
On Last Saturday nigh, about O'Clock
the neighboTS heard this little one CRYING
but, supposing that Miss Tyler was cor
recting hun toT some misCemeanor, no at
tentiOn was paid to it. About 6 O'Clock on
Sunday morning, the oldest boy, awho clerks
for Hahn 4 Widekind, went to his fathers
house and found it all closed in the front.
He got III finally and saw the woman and
child lying together on pillow on the
floor. Thinking them asleep, he went to
the kitchen to build a fire. After some
time he came back into the room and saw
upon the bureau All open letter addressed
to his father. In this letter Miss Tyler
said she loved the child so dearly she could
not give it up, and had therefore resolved
to die with it, aud upbraided Mr.. Bartlett
in the strongest terms because of his con-
templated marriage
The boy, thoroughly frightened went to
his little brother, and found him cold in
death, and the woman nearly so. He gave
the alarm and the house was soon filled
with the Mortified neighbors. \ doctor was
brought, who. by the use of the stomach
pump, took from her the poison she had
swallowed.
On Monday she was taken to the hotel
and placed under guard. She had so tar
recovered us to be able to tell how and why
she had committed the murder. She at
tempted to administer poison to the little
fellow, but when he refused to take it, she
caught him by the throat and choked him
to death When the body was found the
child was black i'll the face, and mOrtifica-
ton had commenced

ROBBERY OF THE PRINCE DE JoINvILLE. -
Prince de Joinville was robbed of 7,000f
in notes and gold, some promissory notes,
and letter of credit. The property had
been stolen from his bedchamber in the
Hotel of the Four Seasons during the night,
the Prince having omitted to fasten his
door and being asleep at the time. The
Director of the Police, Nj. Seyfried, most
intelligent official, Immediately instituted
an inquiry and learned from a bonnie in the
hotel that German who lodged in the
same establishment was observed to hang
about the passage the greater part of the
night. He proved to be the robber and
was arrested when at play at the Kursaal

A BUCKET HOUSE is an institution pecu-
liar to New York. 1t is a distill house
where the liquor in common use among the
base population is made 1t is the vilest
stuff imaginable, and is sold from half
pint to a pailful. 1t is called the bucket
house because the liquor is sold by the
bucket. The price charged is five cents:
1t is expected that any thing will be filled
that is brought and at the same price:
pals, but with bowls, pans, coffee-pots,
pitchers, and every conceivable thing that
will hold liquor. The keeper of one OF the
most notorious of these bucket houses has
admitted that he sold in one day 81, 900
worth of this vile stuff. -Neto York letter.

A SINGULAR ENTERTAINMENT, almost ap-
preaching the grotesque, was offered to the
King Of Prussia lately on his visit to Wies-
baden. We take this account of the affair
from the Gazette de France. On small
islet III the Rhine was constructed in wood
work grand portico, semi-circular, sup
posed to represent Olympus, and artist
cally ornamented with the statues of all the
divinities. The tallest men of the regiment
of infantry were selected to personate these
gods and goddesses. They were clothed
in white drapery, strongly starched, so as
to initiate the rigid appearance OF marble;
then, each having his face covered with
white paint, was raised upon his pedestal:
on the right of all was posted colossal
sub-commissioned officer, charged with the
preservation of order. He cried out
Steady to the divinities, whenever the
royal steamer came in view. Strict prohi-
bition was pronounced against liquor being
served to the statues during the fete.

RETROSPECTIVE TAXES.

General Candy, in communication to the Sher
iff of Charleston District, has decided that no re-
Prospective tax can be collected, of greater a
mount than was in force at the time the transac
ton was completed Heapplies this principle lst
to goods sold on Commission and settled for prior
to the passage of the Act imposing the tax End
to sales by merchants, where the goods were de-
livered, and the sale consumated prior to the act
and Sd, to the gross earnings of newspapers ac'
quired, also, prior thereto This decision has been
made by Gen. Candy in consequence Of the Legis:
lature OF this State, at the session of December,
1866, having levied retrospective tax, embracing
period between the lst of January, 1856, and the
lst of February, 1867. He decides, however, that
the classes alluded to are not relieved Of all tax,
but that they are liable to the tax that had been
previously laid, which was 20 cents on each hun
dred dollars of gross income. At the Session OF
the Legislature of 1866, the tax imposed was 60
cents on each hundred dollars on the sales Of goods,
and two dollars on the hundred dollars on the
gross receipts of newspapers.

nights he delivered Lectures to full houses, upon
the political issues of the day. His satire is as
scathing as we have ever listened to. The
backguards of the Radical Party-such as Stevens
Butler, Wade, Chandler, Sumner, and Ashley
are handled without gloves; not coarsely, but with
matchless irony, sarcasm, and inuendo. The lee
turer maintained that at least two-thirds of the
entire Northern people are opposed to the infa
nous legislation of the present Congress; and ars
only awaiting the election day to say 80. He be
lieyes in the good time coming, and believes tina
it is not far ahead. He is on tour through Tho
South, for materials to fight the battles Of Democ
racy in the Presidential campaign of the ap
preaching summer. God grant him all success!
