lector John P. Harper, who absconded
a delaulter few days ago, ordered the
arrest Of Albert Smith, late head clerk
in the office, who has given bail in S50,-

salary was but 5000, but it is alleged
he managed to deposit in various

that the two men were partners in the

ANOTHER BALTIMORE FIRE,
Burning Of Holiday St. Theatre,
An Old Landmark Gone,

BALTIMORE, September l0.-A dis
astrous fire has again visited Baltl-
more. o. the old Holiday Street The
atre this morning nothing remains but
the bare walls. The exterior Of the
building is destroyed, aud the adjoining
houses, the Baltimore City College
and the St. Nicholas hotel, have been
considerably damaged. The fire broke
out at half past two o'clock this morn
ing, but by three o'clock the fire was
apparently under complete control and
confined to the theatre and part OF the
City College building. The theatre
took fire after the performance or
Tuesday night and smouldered until II
broke forth. The theatre ia an old
landmark OF Baltimore and for many
years past has been under the control
OF Mr.. John 7. Ford, whose loss will
be heavy. The City College building
was formerly known as the Assembly
Rooms, but for O long time it has
been occupied as City College.
About a quarter past three
o'clock, a portion OF the theatre walls
fell in with terrific crash, which
seemed to stir the fire into flaming
rage, and by half past three all the
rear portion OF Frew, Walford d Co.'S
mattress and bedding store, at IS Gay
street, which adjoined the rear OF the
theatre, was on fire. The flames also
spread to the fourth story and roof Of
the St. Nicholas hotel, corner OF Holi-
day street and Orange alley. The
theatre property was owned by j. Al
bert. Mrs Linton, the wardrobe lady
TT the Holiday stree. theatre and her
laughter Nellie, who occupied rooms
"r the second story OF the rear building
. attached to the theatre, were awa~
tnned by the smoke. Their screams
o-ought to their assistance several gen.
tIemen who happened to be
near the building. Bursting in
Il door they rescued them. Miss
Nellie Linton and her brother were
badly burned about the face. Two
floors Of the st. Nicholas hotel were
destroyed. A spark from the fire
ignited the building on South street, OPP
posite the Sun office occupied by a coal
office and hat factory. The flames
were extinguished after the roof was
burned.
The following is q partial
estimate OF the Losses by the fire:
Holiday street theatre with scenery,
wardrobes &c $50 600; insured in city
offices. A correct list OF ineurances on
Holiday street theatre ID as follows,
including building, machinery and
wardrobe: American, Baltimore,
S. $50; Baltimore, OF Baltimore, s., 2,640;
Citizens, New Jersey, S264O; Frank

preston spread among the tribes that
they would be drafted into the army,
left for Texas, where they were attack
ed by troops and fed into Mexico,
where they Joined their kindred in the
Gepredations committed along the fronts
iers These Indians were the most per-
sisteut and relentless, and il is said in
their movements and attacks they dis
played courage and daring for superior
to that shown by the Mexicans. 1t IS
thought in military circles that the res
moval OF these Indians to reservation
within the United States will restore
comparative quiet on lhe Mexican
borders. What disposition will be made
of these Indians when they arrive has
not been definitely settled, though it has
been decided that a new reservation
should be provided for them. Some
portion OF New Mexico will be set apart
for them. The reservations occupied
by the tribes now in Kansas consist OF
l9,2O0 acres Tor the Kickapoos and
1881 acres for the Pattawattamies
The tribes respectively number two
hundred and ninety and four hundred
souls.
The Commission on Steam Boilers.
Benjamin F. Crawford, OF Allegheny
city, and J. s. Bevenny, of Pittsburgh.
Supervising Inspectors Of steam vessels,
members e the Western Commission
to inquire into the causes OF steam
boiler explosions, arrived here to-day.
1t is said that the numbrr OF instru-
ments and appliances to prevent steam
boiler explosions recommended TO the
Commission fer trial, il tested, would
involve tee expenditure Of hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars. The Comm!s-
sion, at their meetings, which CONS
mence Tomorrow, will designate the
limits OF their operations. As but one
hundred thousand dollars has been ap-
propria.ed, ard the law requires mere
ly an investigation of the causes, it is
thought the Commission will decide
not to 20 into the question OF the best
means OF prevention, but will let that
follow az a Mutural result OF the theory
which they hope to establish.

the entire subsidence OF the epidemic
has been attended by fresh outbreak.
Sunday and Monday five cases occurred,
but none resulted fatally. There is but
little doubt that the water used has been
the main cause OF the trouble, although
the disease has proved more than
customarily contagious. At one time
the town was entirely deserted, only
part of nine families remaining, and

We now Look upon the Wheeling
n Lake Erie Railroad as living re-

nonncing TO our readers that ground was
first broken on this line last Friday
August 29th, 1873, at Zoar, in the pres
ence OF Mr.. T. W. Chapman, member
OF the Executive Committee; Gen.
Mckee, q well known railroad contraC-
tor; Col A. K. Robinson, chief engin-
eer Mr.. Beuter, OF Zoar, also dirsc-
tor, and host Of friends and parties
interested in its welfare.
The ceremonies were simple and to
the point. First came the Hon. T. W.
Chapman, who briefly stated the diff
culties encountered in working up the
project 10 its present condition and took
occasion to thank the friends along the
line who had 50 nobly responded to
this project, and assured them OF the
faal completion OF the road, and that
cars would be running from Wheeling
TO Lake Erie in two years from that
time, and further, that Mr.. Shanly, the
contractor of the celebrated Hoosac
tunnel, was the man whom they had
contracted with to build the road, Then
he handed mattock and shovel to Mr..
Beuter, a doctor, and one to the prn-
cipal men OF Zoar, who dug and threw
a few shovels full Of earth; Mr. Beuter
then passed the tools to Jacob Aker-
man, Let trustee oithe Zoar society, who
likewise threw few shovels full, and
in turn paased them to Colonel Robins
son, who exchanged for q time the
compass for the pick and shovel, hand
ling the latter with as much dexterity
as q skilled son OF Erin General Nc
Kee, one OF the principal contractors q
this road, then put the men to wors.
