NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. ia fire
broke out in the large paint works
this morning, at 414 Bleecker
street, which is a fve-story brick
building. The flames spread so
rapidly that the second and third
alarms were sent out. At the pres
ent writing the fire is still raging,
and the fremen have not been able
to get it under control.
A fire broke out simultaneously
with this on board the steamer Bris-
tol, lying at Pier No. 48, North
River. This fire also is still burn
ing.
The Bleecker street fire was
brought under control at half past
one o'clock. The police estimate the
losses, in the absence of any other
means, fixing them at about sixty
thousand dollars.
The fire on the. steamer Bristol
burned through portion of the
deck before it was extinguished,
The steamers officers state the loss
will probably not exceed one thou
sand dollars.

A Railroad VelOcipede.

The Knoxville and Ohio Railroad is
ahead of all others in this section, in
one point of view at least. We refer
to recent addition to the rolling
stock of that live and enterprising
line, in the shape Of a velocipede,
which is the most convenient little
arrangement we have seen for long
time. It is simple and light piece of
machinery, weighing less than $50
pounds, and can easily be ham
died about by any man. 1t
is made to run on one track, having
two wheels, following each other.
Over these the machinery and seat is
constructed, and it is worked by the
hands and feet, something after the
fashion of velocipede, but on the
principle of a crank hand car. An
arm extends across the track, on the
end of which is third wheel, to
steady the concern. It Was purchased
for the use of Mr.. Geo. Kinzel, Road
Master and General Supervisor of the
line, and is the very trick for him to
make short trips out looking after the
line. It will accommodate two men
if necessary. Ye local is indebted to
Mr.. Kinzel for trial ride on the
velocipede, yesterday evening, which
was delightful one. 1t gives fellow
splendid muscular exercise, and is by
no means machine for lazy per-
son,
