FIRE.
Destruction OF n Two.Story Frame
building.

About three o'cloc,. yesterday morning
the fire bell rang out an alarm that brought
hundreds Of excited citizens to the street,
many Of whom, seeing that their own
homes we're not in flames, returned to their
bod and to the arms Of Morpheus. Others,
whom a fellow feeling made more kind,
scanned tho city for the scene OF the con-
aagrAtion, and descryings high volume OF
dense blSck smoke rising upward from the
vicinity Of Seventh and Walnut, FASTENED
thither, to see the two-story frame tene-
ment house Of Mr.. Albert Sessycfke
"melting away under the scorching lap Of
the Gre-king,'-tho inmates OF tenement,
with their coarse store Of household
goods, huddled in the streets, the ono APP
parently as helpless as the other.
When first discovered by the residents
of the neighborhood, the lire might have
been cxtinguished by the use Of gallon
of water, had ladders been at hand to
reach the roof Of the building where IL Or
iginatcd but tho roof being Of tinderish
material the flames spread with great rap
iiity, SO that when the fire companies ar
rived on the ground tho whole Of the top
OF the building was Involved. Tho Rough
and Rcadics throw first water. The Arabs
were next on hand and then the liIber-
MANS Had there been plenty Of water in
the neighborhood the fire would have been
drowned out before It had reached the
lower story of the building. The water
obtained wa. used to very good advantage,
but at the very time when the flames were
brought under sub ection,it was announced
tina: the water had given out and that no
other accessible ciserns could be found in
the neighborhood a few more barrels,
judicously used, would have drowned out
the las, vcs,igo Of the fire. The fire COM
panies were unable TO obtain the desired
supply, and were compelled 70 stand by
and see the building burn to the ground
The house was occupied by two or three
negro families. Most Of their household |
traps were saved. The fact that the fire ori.
ginated in the roof about the Auo, pre-
cludos all idea Of incendsrism. II was un-
caused by defective nue. |
Tho building was worth about 81 zoe or
81 800, and was insured with the Under.
writers. Mr. Sessycfke cul,ivates Mr..
Har,rnans farm, and was not in the city.
lie is a hardworking, honest man, Po-
lander by birth, but for over twenty years
a resident Of Cairo. Being poor man the
los to him is heavy one; but being, ike
an other Cairoi,es, blessed with grca,
deal Of recupcratiye energy, We shall in
the course Of year or two expect TO see
building rise upon the ashes Of the old one |
that will testify tina, he Is neither disheart-
ouel nor or weak faith rs - the future oi

The Sale ofDei,nuuent lots Deferred.

The city council, appreciating the OBJ
staclcs in,erposod by the adoption of tho
new constitution, in the way Of tho sales Of
real estate delinquent for taxes, have au-

pursued the lots on question would have
been sold on the 10th instant. When the

Isn't ii unfortunate that just on the eve

come embroiled IN domestic trouble that
are calculated TO bring him into unenvia.

columns There, over his own signature,
Mr.. Scott says that his wife, Nelly, has left
his bed and board without just cause or
proyocaiionl or course, under such cir
cumstances, William is entirely justified
in saying that II anybody lets Nelly have
anything on his account he wont pay for

shadow over her husbands prospects Of
official prefcrment, By abandoning his bed
and board, without any cause whatever?
We insist that the Radical convention to
which Mr., Scott proposes to submit his
claims, and to the decision of which he
viii checrfuily submit, provided he re-
ceiyes the nominstion-shall take this
whole matter into consideration, If Mrs.
Scott has left her bed and board without
