=. BURLINGTON, December 10.-A terrible
fire occurred here, this morning about 2
O'Clock, destroying over thirty dwellings,,
four barns, and rendering about forty
families homeless. Burlington Is Oh the
Pennsylvania railroad, sixteen miles from
Philadelphia, and is o city, OF about
five, thousand i inhabitants. The lire
originated in q stable in the rear OF
Belden's Hotel, at the corner OF Main and
Broad streets, owned by Edward Briggs.
From here the sparks were carried by the
heavy gale which was blowing across astreet
eighty feet wide, and dwelling owned by
Mr.. Birch was destroyed; then back to the
south side, and another one OF his houses
was levelled. "A strange feature OF the tire
was that sparks were carried over the roofs
OF houses in the immediate vicinity,
and set fire to q row OF fourteen
dwellings, on the north side OF
York street. These were entirely con-
sumed, as were also fourteen more frame
residences on the south side OF the street.
On this street the smallpox was raging, and
it was with great difficulty that men could
be found who would go into some OF the
houses and rescue those who were sick in
bed and unable to- fee togsaye; their lives.
Three persons were carried from one house
as their dwelling was pulled down to save
the further spread of the flames. Several
persons were badly injured by falling from
the roofs Of the houses.

brcu. ricar-general, or Rev. William 5.

op Corrigan goes to Rome to make the re-
'quired decennial papal visit. 1t was stated

THE LowNDEsvILLE MURDERERS IN JAIL
ONE OF THEM COMMITS sUICIDE-JUDGE
BOND HAS DISCHARGED THE BOARD OF STATE
CANvAssERS. a.. .a .s:s,.. ...."
COLUMBIA, December 1l.-Positive infor-
nation has been received here that the
Lowndesville murderers were not lynched,
and have been removed to Walhalla, O'Con-
ner county, as precaution against violence.
An investigation discloses the fact that the
plot to murder whites indiscriminately was
horrible, and aroused excitement among the
whites to the extent OF threatening sum-
mary punishment. The precaution taken
ayerted this, and everything is now quiet.
One Of the captured murderers took lau-
danum, and died from the teffects. A jury
in his case rendered the following verdict
unanimously :. We, the jurors, upon our
oaths, Go say that Sam. Benton came to his
death from the voluntary use Of laudanum
taken by himself, and received by him from
the hands Of his brother" The prisoners
are now all safe in Walhalla JAIL ..
Judge Bond has delivered decision dis
charging the Board OF State Canvassers
from custody on the ground that the SUI
preme Court of the State had no jurisdic-
ton.
