The Lttleton Island referred to is almost go
miles north of Northumberland Island, where
the party rescued from the Polaris supposed
they left her, 1t is a little south OF the life

~ Is That Fyson's party were mistaken as to the
locality of their separation from the Poaris, aud
that it was really Little Island instead of North
cumberland Island. 1t is hardly possible that
AFTER the separation the Polaris in her disabled
condition, succeeded in any way in reaching

1t is understood that orders have been sent

THE BALTIMORE FIRE.
Narrow Escape from a Terrible
COnfa grafton.

BALTIMORE, Sept 10.-At half past two
o'clock this morning an alarm of fire was
counted, and in a faw minutes flame burst from
the Halliday street Theatre, enveloping the the
atre in mass of fire. The flames poured out
simultaneously from the roof and uppf win
dows and before the steamer got to work 1T was
evident that the old Halliday was doomed to
destruction
In less than fifteen minutes after the alarm
was sounded. the central portion of the city
was lit up as by great calcium light. The
lurid fame was so intense as to cause an ian
preston that general condagration had be-
gun. A deluge OF flaming cinders rolled up
from the burning mass, and was borne by
gentle breese from the northeast into the very
heart of the city to distance of five or six
blocks over the roofs of the Sun, American and
Gazette offices and the Western Union Tele-
graph office and adjacent buildings. Great
blazing cinders rained down in sheets of fire.
Many awnings of stores on Baltimore and
South streets were ignited by the fiery shower
of embers, and at three o'clock these streets
were brilliantly illuminated by the burning
canvsSs, thus adding to the general consterna-
ton.
In the meantime the steamers began work
with an abundance of water, and the firemen
worked with a will and determination to
quench the flames
The fire had already communicated to the
roof Of the St. Nicholas Hotel. adjoining on the
north, and to large brick building adjoining
on the SOuUn, ana also 10 tne factory OF Erey,
Walpest & Co., in the ar of the theatre,
The entire fire department was vigorously at
work, but all their efforts to save the theatre
were unavailing. Shortly after three o'clock
the roof fell in and at four o'clock bare walls
only were left standing.
The theatre and some of the adjoining prop
erty was purchased three years ago by John I.
Ford, manager, for 100000. The damage by
fire will reach alb nut SIS. 900, ON which there is
an insurance of $4,000, principally in city
companies
The St Nicholas, adjoining the theatre on
the north, was a large four story brick b. ildng,
w. B. w. Earle proprietor, patronized almost
exclusively by actors and actresses performi ng
at Halliday and Front street theatres, and at
Baltimore Opera House. about fifty of whom
were in the building at tine time Of the fire.
The rear portion of the fourth story was en-
tirely burned out. and all the lower floors de-
luged with water. Many of the guests were
forced to escape with nothing on but their
night-clothes. Some of the actresses lost their
wardrobes watches, money. jewelry, Sc, but
the majority of them succeeded in saving their
effects, which with the furniture of the hotel
that was rescued from the flames, was piled up
in the streets Earle estimates his loss at 500,
600 and his insurance at $l7 900.
