FIRE IN HAMILTON ,VA.-Sn Thursday morn
ing, about O'Clock, the building occupied by
G. +. Mccoy, as a hotel, at Hamilton, Loudoun
county, Va, was destroyed by fire, the inmates
barely escaping with their lives. There were
four occupants in the building at the time-the
proprietor, g. F. Mccoy, j. Mort, Kilgour,
Capt. Geo. A. S. Davis, and a colored man in the
employ of Mr.. Mccoy. Capt. Davis was the first
to discover the fire, and with difficulty succeed
ed in arousing the others in time to escape, as
they were partially supplied by the smoke. The
fire was evidently the work of an incendiary,
and originated In the same room in which there
was an attempt made to destroy the house In
May last. AS the woman arrested on suspicion
on the former occasion is living near by, she is
naturally suspected of being the guilty party,
but there is nothing positive against her as yet.
Mr.. McCoys loss Is not fully estimated, but 1t
is supposed to be from 81 800 to 81 900, partially
covered by insurance. 1t was only through the

MADAME LUCCA's DIVORCE. - Baron Won
Rhaden, husband of the famous prima donna
Frau Lucca, has published a letter in the Ber-
lin Fremdtnbldtt, in which he SAYS that in the
autumn of last year he had already begun in
Berlin a suit for divorce on the ground of aban-
donment by his wife, and this suit is still pend
ing. He is ready TO establish on oath that he
had no sort of knowledge that proceedings had
been begun here before reading the announce
meht OF judgment in the newspapers, and he
has protested against it. The accusations as
to his adultery he declares untrue, and he
further asserts that the reason for Fastening the
proceedings, begun in Berlin, Gin such sud
den and unheard-of manner, and by this act of
violence in New York, can only be found in
TIE news reported in the journals, that Frau
Lucca has again been married to Major Won
Wallhofen."
The n. Y. Sun publishes a card from II. S.
Newcombe, counsel of Madame Lucca, who
says that he personally mailed to the baron sin
Berlin a copy OF the process, and several visits
were in consequence made by friends Of Baron
Won Rhaden to my client here" Had the baron
succeeded in obtaining a divorce in Prussia,
the writer says, 1t would. under the laws there,
have contained provision that the baron
should receive one-fourth of the whole future
income of Madame Lucca-and hence his dis
appointment.
London gossips affect to believe that the non
appearance of Lucca to fulfill her engagements
there is attributable to her having contracted
on engagement of an altogether different and
more permanent character. Berlin letters
speak OF a similar engagement between Baron
Won Rhaden and Md1le EleOnora Grossi, sister
of Carlotta Grossi, the brilliant soprano

POLICE CORR PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE
b AND p. RAILROAD.-An information was
hled by W. q. Bamberger in the Police Court
in June, and upon II a warrant was issued last
Friday and served upon Mr. T.. l.. DuBarry,
agent OF the Baltimore and Potomac railroad
company. The information charges the COM
pany with maintaining a nuisance in having
trains running through the streets IN the day
ard night on which there are noisy bells and
still nolsier whistles, the same keeping the res
Jdents Of South Washington awake all of the
night, and allowing dirty stock cars to remain
IN the public streets Mr.. Bamberger is con-
ylEced that bells and whistles are much more
or nuisance than Mir. kelly's barking dog
which Hon Caleb Gushing had abated by an
order having been issued BY the police court
th1t the said barking dog should be shot.
The warrant was placed in the hands of Off
eeT Lewis, who returned II on last Saturday
with Mr.. DuBarry, who appeared BY his attor-
ney, MI. r. l.. stanton, and asked postpone
ment until be could prepare for a defence. He
was then released on his own personal recog-
nizanee 10 appear from day to day until a hear
