on the oath ut. Mr.. Frederick Tanner, q very es.
timabe young man, aged twenty-six years, disap-
peared from his place OF business In Church street,
and all efforts 10 ascertain his whereabouts proved
futile. His parents offered reward for his discov.
terry. On Friday the Sd inst, abody was fshed out
OF the water at Southfeld, Richmond county, and
from keys found in his pocket and the clothing the
corpse was recognized as the missing Frederick
Tanner. The skull crushed, one OF the eyes en-
tirely gone, and from the fact that his coat, money
and valuable gold watch are missing, the theory
holds good that the young man was murdered and
hts body thrown into the water. Mr. John Flanagan
Justice OF the Peace, and Acting Coroner at Clinton
Staten Island, held an inquest on the body, and the
Jury returned q verdict OF Found Dr0wned.n The
body was disinterred and handed over TO his rela-
tives, at whose hands it will receive the proper
burial to-day.
The case Is surrounded with considerable mystery.
and Is t subject for the proper attention Of Super
intendent Jourdan. The friends OF the deceased
have not the slightest doubt but that he was fouy
dealt with.

FIRE ON SNlPBGAaD.

Burning Of the Ship William II. S,orer, with
Cargo Of Tullow, Cotton, Grain, Rosin,
&c.-LOss Over One Hundred Thousand
Dollars.
Shortly after ten O'Clock last night the William F.
Storer Captain James Bryant, fully rugged ship Of
1,700 tons burden, owned by Messrs. G. H. Marshall
4 Co., of the Black Ball line, lying at pier 23 East
river and plying between this port and Liverpool,
was discovered to be on fire by the ships boy,
Edward Bickers, aged about thirteen. The boy first
discovered the fire in the afterpart Of the
vessel and Immediately gave the alarm. The
Metropolitan Fire Department and Insurance
Patrol were speedily on the ground and
rapidly organized for battle with the flaming
element. which was now giving evidences of It's
power in the huge volumes OF dense, black smoke,
mingled with lurid name, that were pouring from
she matches fore and art; but before long nearly
dozen lines of hose were pouring copious streams
of water into the hulla and preventing the further
spread OF the fames
The steamtug Thomas Fuller arrived at the scene
about twelve O'Clock, ana shortly mad four streams
In operation. her powerful force pumps pouring
savage tide OF water into the kissing caudron Of the
vessels hull. The Storer had been gradually
settling down from the first, and now was almost
level with the pier The fire is not yet eXtngushed
but the full extent Of the damage can be given.
She was loaded with 160 to 200 hOgsheads OF tai
low, stored in the upper portion Of the between
decks, where was also lot of rosn and molasses,
and pretty full cargo Of grain ii, bulk and some
cotton were stored below. The cargo will no doubt
be almost total loss and the damage
to the vessel great. 1t is believed that
the only insurance upon the vessel and the contents
was an insurance effected for the voyage only, that
it will not avail the owners In this Instance. She
was to have left for Liverpool In a few days.
When the Storer commenced settling her nasts
topped over towards the pier and 1t was feared for
some time that they would fall over, become en-
tangled lin the rigging Of the Isaac Webb and
thereby endanger that vessel This ia the same pier
at which the Hibernia was burned some three years
since.
