An unsuccessful attempt was made night be-
fore last to burn the house ofa old lady named
lIull>, on the Little Run Turnpike, about two
miles from the city. The iuccndlary is as yet

had hold of the ropes Of the hose carriage OF
the Hydraulion fire company, during the false
alarm of fire last night, fell near the Market

passed over without, hJwever, badly injuring
him.
The alarm Of fire early last night, which sue
ceeded In bringing out the lire department, was

died there without the knowledge OF that geo.
lleman or his family, who were absent at the
time.

Considerable disturbance was created on
north Union street last night by party OF
men, one of whom had lbeateu woman 10 a
house near the Brown She'd wharf, and
whose friends defended him from the police
who attempted but failed to arrest him.
