GREAT FIRE IN HUNTERS POINT.

Three Tenements DcstrOyed-Fifteen Families
HOmeless-A Family Fued and Kerosene Set
Fire to the Houses and n Number Of Stores.
About two O'Clock yesterday morning an alarm Of
fire was sounded through Long Island City, and in
a short time 1t was discovered that three large
tenement houses on Jackson avenue between Sew
enth and Eagle streets, Hunters Point were en-.
veloped In flames. 1t seems that the middle house
is occupied on the ground floor by Mrs. Goetz, who
keeps grocery In the front and lives in the back
rooms. About half-past one her husband, who had
been out carousing, Unexpectedly returned and was
denied admission by his wife. Procuring an axe
he proceeded 10 break down the door. when young
man. who had paid some attention to his wife,
rushed out In his pants and shirt. GOez, not liking
the appearance OF things, made an assault upon his
wife, and In the scurie the Kerosene lamp was
broken and the burning mud thrown over the bed
clothes which were Immediately envelOped In flames.
The widest excitement Immediately ensued
among the families In the building. The loud noise
most of them, and now the cry OF re and the dense
smoke rushing up the stairs created intense ex-
element. The fremen were promptly on hand, but
as there was but little water to be had their efforts
were directed towards saving the inmates. Nothing
was saved from the middle building and but little
burned out, numbering seventy.four souls The
buildings were owned by Mr. Skily, Mr.. DAVIS and
Mrs GOetZ. All of them are partially insured The
loss Will exceed fifteen thousand dollars on build
ings and large amount on personal effects. Nearly
ali the families who occupied the buildings are lett
clothes. The buildings were three stories high and
built entirely OF wood Great praise is due to the
fremen for their exertl0n5 In saving adjoining
buildings.

POUGHKEEPsIE, August 23 1871.
The City National Bank OF Poughkeepsie received
from the Ocean National Bank of New York, IN tho
early part of August, their usual monthly state.
ment OF account for the month OF July, which state
ment did not agree with the books OF the City
National Bank. close examination revealed the
fact that three small drafts drawn on the Ocean
National Bank were reported and charged AT much
larger amount. On referring to the draft book Mr..
Ii. c. Smith, the teller Of the bank, discovered tnas
the drafts were all issued by him to the same per-
son. young man, apparently about twenty-five on
thirty years Of age, and entire stranger to the
of1icers OF the bank. Being positively satisfied that
the
DRAFTS HAD BEEN ALTERED
and raised IN value, Mr. Alber. Champlin the
cashier, proceeded at once to New York ana &C.
quainted the Officers OF the Ocean Bank with the
facts. The drafts examined and found TO have
been altered IN every particular except the signature
OF the cashier. The whole nlling In OF the drafts
had been skllfully removed bx some chemical pro-
cess, aud a powerful m0gnifying glass failed to re-
veal any traces OF the original writing. The drafts
were issued FOR about thirty dollars each, and were
raised, as near as can be ascertained, as follows
One over 5000, one over $1,000 and the third be-
tween 1900 and $1,000, increasing them about
$4,000 In all. They were traced back through
the Oriental Bank TO the Dry ID ock Savings Bank.
and had been received by them from young man
who had been keeping an account with them for
some little time, and who was constantly In receipt
OF drafts from different parts OF the country, which
he would deposit sometimes, taking portion OF the
money. He had succeeded, however IN getting the
whole amount before the alterations were discOv-
cred.
1t IL not definitely known, but u Is supposed, that
the Dry Dock Sayings Bank must have lost several
thousand dollars Dy the scoundrel. Detectives have
been employed 20 ferret him ont, and bank officers

Despondent Peasantry.
TELEGRAM TO THE new YORK HERALD.

The following despatch has been received
from our correspondent at the capital of
Hungary
PEsrH, August 23, 1871.
There is fearful misery in Southern Hun
gary, formerly the most fertile grain -produc-
ing country in Europe. In the district of
Banat one-third of the country is under water
CAUSE OF THE CALAMITY.
The bad administration suffered the dams
which were built to prevent the overflow of
the river Temes and it's tributaries to fall into
ruins. These extensive tracts were in former
times waste marshes, and at certain seasons
of the year completely under water. They
were reclaimed and made fruitful grain fields
under the reign of the Empress Maria The
resa.
, DREADFUL DESTRUCTION.
In spite of the recommendations of the coun-
try people the authorities neglected to repair
the dams, that were gradually yielding to the
pressure of water. The swollen rivers have
now flooded the country for miles.
All the wheat crops are gone. and the
houses, granaries and cattle are submerged in
the water.
MORE CALAMITIEs.
In addition to this calamity the country
has been visited with unusual storms during
the present season, The peasantry of the
south of Hungary rely from year to year for
their sustenance entirely upon the wheat and
tobacco crops. But hail storms have destroyed
the garden fruits and vineyards, besides the
grain and tobacco fields. Even the trees have
been entirely stripped Of their leaves.
SHABBY GOVERNMENT.
The excessive severity of the government in
collecting the arrears of taxes has greatly
Increased the misery of the people. The au-
thorities have seized the cattle of the peasants
who have been unable to pay the taxes.
Some villages owe arrears greater than the
value of their whole property. The peasants
are despondent and embittered, but the gov
ernment turns deaf ear to their complaints.
THE SPECTRE OF FAMINE.
All the agriculture, trade and industry in
the south of Hungary are ruined, and famine
is impending.
