Fireas Iickisars.-

IN MANY VI va W.
Zcns were aroused about midnight Saturday
night last by the cry Of fire" Happily for
Frostburg, the luminous appearance which
gave rise to the alarm, was Immediately
over the town of Eckhart, and thithcr
many of our people went, when it Was
found to be the store,of Mr.. J AcoB THRASH
Era merchant of that place. The store,
which was a story and a half frame build
ing, was completely destroyed by fire, to-
gether with its contents, consisting Of the
varied assortment of goods found in coun-
try stores. The lateness ofthc hour of dis
covcry made it impossible TO save the
building, or the goods, so far had the fire
progressed, but the great efforts of the citi-
sens saved the adjacent houses. We learn
the loss s,lstancd-somc $6000-was near
ly or quite covered by insurance.

NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE.

WORD CONCERING ALLEGED EFFORTS TO BLACT-
MAIL MR.. BEECHER.
Mr. Sage, Chairman of the Plymouth Com
mitee or Inquiry said yesterday, in to questions
about reported conferences of in Brooklyn de-
sirous OF bringing end the controversies between
Mr. Tilton and Mr.. Beecher bya compromise settle
ment' that true friend Of Mr.. Beecher would take
part in any attempt at compromise or settlement. and
that no connected with the Committee, nor
any one OF Mr.. Beechor's trusted advisers. had
advised attempt OF that kind aided It, and so far
he knew, consultations with the object OF compro
mise had taken place Nothing would rouse indg
nation among Mr. Beechels true friends John L. Hill
These two gentlemen also agreed asserting that Gen
Buffers advice or aid sought received
recently by the Committee or by Mr. Beecher's
trusted friends, as certain flying rum0rs rep
resented. Certain gentlemen well informed con-
corning the progress OF the work Of invest
cation, including a member OF the Committee,
questioned Yesterday the truth OF the -epUrts
mat evidence had been brought showing plainly re
peated attempts 10 blackmai. Mr. Beecher. They re
Piled that evidence had been given which seemed %
indicate efforts Of that kind but that nothing definite
and full enough had yet been fixed 20 give details or 20
do more than allow the inference that there had
been scheming in that direction. 1t re-
marked that Mr.. Carpenters efforts TO get money
send Mr.. T.lton 70 Europe had ugly look
Tie Committee would bring out the Who'll truth and
might expose fully schemes OF that kind If sufficient
proof should be found 70 seemed not improbable that
j. might be brought 10 light. lawyer who is closely
connected with the investigation said that the charges
OF attempted bacImail made against Mr.. Carpenter.
would not BE hard 20 prove
