A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

six Hundred Persons Thrown Ou!
of Empioyment-A Two Hundred
Thousand Dollar Loss.
HARRIsBURG, Pa, April 26.-One OF
the most destructive fires that ever oc.
Cured here broke out in the Harrisburg
car shops little before one o'clock last
night. 1t spread with great rapidity
until the establishment and several other
buildings were destroyed. A hotel near
the Pennsylvania railroad, the Round
House, took fire from the sparks OF the
engine and was also consumed. The
loss of the car company is estimated at
over 5000, 900, nearly all of which is COW
cred by insurance. Over six hundred
persons employed by the company are
thrown out of employment, placing in
almost destitute circumstances at least
three hundred people. The wind was
blowing very strong at the time, and the
buildings, which covered ten or fifteen
acres, being nearly all framed, it was
impossible to check the flames. 1t is
thought by many that several Of the men
Il one of the buildings were overcome by
the heat and smoke, caused by sudden
change in the wind, and expired in the
flames. The fire was caused by spark
from passing locomotive.
LATER-Arrangements have already
been made by the car company to put
the men to work again who we're thrown
out of employment by the fire.

JUDgE DAVIS,


The st. Louis Times publishes what
purports to be an interview between its
correspondent and Judge Davis on the
all-absorbing question of the Presidency.
The Judge was wary and guarded in his
replies to interrogatories, but expressed
willingness to support the nominee OF
the Cincinnati Convention if he was a
strong man on sound platform. When
asked if he would support Brown or
Trumbull, if nominated, he replied;
"Oh, yes, if the platform of the COnven-
ton was consistent with the oft repeated
declaration of either of these gentle
men. You know should naturally pre-
fer Mr.. Trumbull, as being of my State.
