THE FAKIR.-It is to be regretted
that the Fakir did not have remu-
nerative house on Saturday evening.
His entertainments have always been
very well attended before, and his
performances have given universal
satisfaction.
TIE Ere absorbed SO much of pub
lie attention, and was SO extensive as
to deprive a great many of the taste
for amusements of any kind.
Another exhibition will probably
be given in day or two.

Of all new. or nearly all new, men to

The engines were promptly on the

the greatest energy was displayed by
the men,
This is the second fire that has
taken place on this spot, Touring
mill having been burned there some
years since,
The FIRE originated in the engine
room, and before Mr.. McCorkle had
got block distantfrom the mill, after
having finished, as he supposed, for
the week.
Great sympathy is felt for Mr.. Nc
Corkle, who has thus lost, in one
hour, the result of many years of in
dustry and economy. 1t was impossi-
BILE to learn the amount of insurance
at that time on Saturday night, and
equally impossible during Sunday;
hence only the general fact of insur-
ance is mentioned where learned.
During the burning there were
many affecting scenes, where mothers,
having become separated from their
children, became frantic lest their
little ones were lost, while children
were in equal distress about their
parents.
While some water was being passed
up to man on a porch, who was en-
gagged in saving a house on Eighth
Street, one of the buckets fell, and
striking boy on the head, cut a Sc
we're cash.
The FIRE is pronounced by many to
have been the most severe that has
occurred in the city for many years.
and had there been any considerable
wind, the result must have been
much more disastrous.

: NUMEROUS RUFFlAN.
Mr.. Tom. Preudsrsast Dangerously Stabbed
by a Burglar.

About a quarter to one o'clock yester-
day morning, Mr.. Tom. Prendergast,
formerly a member Of the night force,
and who rooms at the Office of the city
weigher, was Weakened from his slumberz
by hearing some one inthis room. He did
not spring u of bed at once, but hay
quiet and saw a man open one of his
drawers aud abstract q pair of pants
therefrom. He then leaped up and seized
the burglar who instantly commenced q
struggle with him. They clinched and
fell together onthe floor, and while down
the robber managed to get but a knife and
cut Mr.. Prendegrast so terribly that he
was forced TO give up the struggle. One
cash commenced directly over tho heart
and ran downward over the ribs and into
the abdomen, laying the ribs bare and
cutting into the cavity of the stomach.
Another ommences directly under the
left ear and cut through the cheek. mar
rowly missing the juRulaT vein. Another
cut severed the cartilage of the nose.
The burglar, freeing himself from Mr..
Prendergast's grasp by this vigorous use
of his knife Tor razor, rushed from the
o and made his escape. The watch
man on the beat was attracted a few mo-
ments after the affair occurred by Mr..
Prendergast's cries for help, and the
wounded man was, through his instru-
mentality, conveyed to the s~tation-house
on Adams street. Here his wounds were
dressed by Dr.. Lynch, and he was taken
care of until two O'Clock yesterday after
noon, when he was removed to the hos,
pital. He improved so much during the
day that he was considered out of danger

He gave the police an accurate descrip-
ton of him, and we hope soon to chroni-
Gle his capture.
