A HEROIC YOUTH.

Williamsburgh, N. Y, Sep 24.--Adam
Knapp, of Is Milton street, GreenpOint;
his son, a lad of II years, and Daniel
Schafer rowed up to He'll Gate to fish
yesterday morning. Owing to faulty
steering they fouled with the chains
securing the Government structure on
Flood Rock, and the boat caI lied +.
Schafer, who was good swimmer, made
his way to the shore. The elder Knapp
could not swim, but his son is very
skillful in the water. AS soon as the
latter reached the surface he seized his
father by the collar and helped him up.
With his other hand he righted the boat
four times, but it as often capsized.
Finally, however, he succeeded i'll getting
his father into it. Then with the craft
nearly full of water, the lad towed it to
the shore. Another boat passed him on
the way, but the three men in it did not
render him any assistance. When he
finally landed. little distance above
Astoria, he removed his father to the
shore, but the shock and exhaustion
proved too much, and in few minutes
Mr.. Knapp expired in the lads arms.

FIRE AT WASHINGTON.

A fire broke out yesterday morning,
caused by spontaneous combustion, in
the attic over the Patent Office M useum,
in the Interior Department building,
Washington. The fire spread throughout
the north and west wings of the spacious
building, destroying them almost COM
pletely. The greater part of the models
in the Patent Office Museum have been
destroyed, whilst the business of the
Patent, Land and Indian offices is
seriously embarrassed. The fire burned
all day and caused heavy losses, several
adjacent buildings being also damaged
The loss on the Interior building is estl-
mated from 100000 to $590,000, and on
adjacent buildings at S26,500 additional.
There is no means of estimating the loss
on the Patent Office models, ,ahout 10000
of which are destroyed, but this loss is
very large.

TROUBLES OF A YOUNG BRIDE,
GROOM.

Albany Argus, 21st.
Yesterday morning James D. Rourke
was arrested on complaint of his son Jo-
seph, aged IL, who alleges that his father
assaulted and severely beat him. On an
Mott, it appeared from the testimony
that Joseph, without his parents knowl-
edge or consent, was married on the 9th
instant to daughter of saloon keeper
in the neighborhood. As soon as his
father heard of the event he disowned
the boy, forbidding him to come upon
the same street in which he lived there's
after, saying that he had brought the
family to disgrace and broken his moth
er's heart by contracting such mar
riage. The young man left home and
scared rooms for himself and wife on
Morton street. On Sunday last the
young couple went out for a %alk, and
in going over Delaware avenue passed
his fathers house. Rourke senior was
sitting on ths stoop, and as they went
by he arose and followed them. Fearing
that he intended mischief the couple
started across the fields to evade him and
reach home. The father, however. ran
and caught his son, throwing him down
and giving him severe beating. He
then turned his attention TO his wife.
and beat her. Others interfered and
rescued the pair, who then proceeded
home, and subse quently tie son pro-
cured the warrant. Finally, under the
alternative OF going to Jail, the father
consented to refrain from molesting the
boy hereafter, when the latter withdrew
the comp aint.

The FAILURE OF THE FOUR PER
CENTS

WASHINGTON September PA mem.
ber of the syndicate, who has been here
to-day, admits that both syndicate and
Secretary Sherman are disappointed with
the progress made in placing the new
four per cent loan. 1t is an open secret
that the members of the syndicate told
Mr.. Sherman at their recent interview
that it was impossible to place the loan
on the European market, owing to the
Eastern war, and tina it was impossible
for the syndicate to get par for the bonds
in this country while spectators were
hawking them about Wall street for
ninty.cight. L here is good reason to be-
lieve that the syndicate told Sherman
they would not take any more bonds un-
der the present arrangement.
