Bellevue Hospital ambulance. :,
Another woman, whose name could
not be learned, and two or three men,
whose names could not be be ascertained,
were carried out dead.
Wm. q. Tylestone, OF No. q East
Thirty.eighth street, was dragged from

lieved TO be fatal.

also found suffering from several bruises.
Two or three men and several women
who were injured seriously, were taken
away by their friends.
At midnight the fremen were still at
work on the ruins. II was believed all
the wounded had been removed, but 1t Is
feared some more liieless bodies are still
beneath ruins.
The loss by the accident, apart from the
loss OF life, Is very great. The art gallery,
which was reduced TO q mass OF ruins,
contained q large number Of paintings,
many OF them OF great value. The pic
lures alone were insured against fire for
Sl50,0O0, and II Is believed the insurance
companies cannot be held for the loss, as
there was no fire. The loss on the build
ing is estimated at from twenty-five to
forty thousand dollars. The building was
owned by Wm. H. Vanderbilt and was
insured against fire.
At late hour It was learned that the

thrown out Of employment.
ATHULL, CANADA.
OTTAWA, April 2l.-A FIRE is raging in
Hull, opposite this city and is spreading
with fearful rapidity. The whole rear Of
the town appears to be one mass Of flames.
Probably l5O dwellings are destroyed.
Danger is now apprehended from slight
shit OF the wind to northwRrd which
threatens to bring the FIRE down towards
the front Of the town and nu merous lum-
ber piles along the river. Efforts to check
the FIRE 80 far appear to have been quite
Intellectual. The steamer Conqueror and
part Of the FIRE brigade were sent over TO
aid the local FIRE companies.
The fire apparently burnt itself out to
great extent. It is reported that over
800 houses were consumed, principally
wood and occupied by the poorer classes.
The distress will be very great.
Fully one.half the city Of Hull is in
ruins. The whole area OF ground COM
posed OF Church, Dulle, Lake, Kent, AL
Icon, Wellington, Charles, Central,
Wright, Hannah and several other streets
are burned. The heat was so intense and
the smoke so dense that the city was al
most shrouded in darkness. The FIRE
ragged from half.past three until seven,
when the wind fortunately changed and
1t was got under control.
II is estimated that between 700 and 800
houses were destroyed, and over 1000
people are homeless. Several lives are
known to be lost, whilst reports are cur
rent that at least dozen have perished.
It Is known positively that woman
man named Quillette. The woman was
confined yesterday, and unable to leave
the house. Quillette was seen rushing
from his blazing house into the street,
where he fell dead. He was terribly
burned.
Numerous accidents occurred. The area
OF ground over which the fire travelled, is
mile long by four hundred yards wide.
In numerous cases the occupants saved
their furniture, which is piled in the
streets. Cows and pigs, as we'll as, other
domestic animals persisted. The property
destroyed was mainly occupied by labor.

TildSn's Chances for the Democratic
Nomination.

Now that Tilden has secured the anti
Tammany Democracy Of his own State,
who are Of course the big end Of the party,
aud Is morally certain to secure the Penn
SylyaniA Democracy next week, It begins
to look as II his shrewdness and his bar4
were TO play an important part at Cincin-
natl. He is pretty certain to secure Ohio
and Kentucky, and will have a good deal
Of unorglnized strength in other States.
No Democratic candidate wields anything
like the strength that he is evincingr and
unless some competitor is speedily brought
to the front the prospect is that Sammy
will presently be too far along on the
road TO success to be put down at Cncin-
natl. Tilden is like Grant; he does not
say much for the public ear, but confines
himself to getting in his work as effect
lively as possible.
There is very hostile feeling at Wash.
ington against Tiden among some Of the
Southern men. The Washington Pot Of
yesterday had very bitter article on the
action Of his wing otthe New York Demoe;
racy. But notwithstanding all this oppo-
sidon he is still the virtual master OF the
situation. II he is not strong enough TO
accomplish his own nomination he Is still
powerful enough to control the choice Of
the Convention. The Southern men are
said to be down on him because he failed
to assert his claim in 1875. the pretext be-
ing that he would fail to assert 1t next
time. They do not explain to the world
how Mr.. Tilden could have successfully
asserted his claim, but the presumption is
that IL ey mean that he should have excit-
cd resort to armed force, and that they
want candidate this time who will assert
his claim in that manner ifneed be in 1881.
This ground Of opposition to Tilden is
not calculated to weaken him in the North,
but is very decidedly calculated to weak
en- in that section the man who may on
this ground defeat him for the nomina-
tion. Let 1t once be understood that Til
den Is to be victim at Cincinnati to the
demand for 4 forcible attempt on the
Presidency next March, and the chances
otthe man who may beat him there will
sink like mercury in the barometer in the
presence ola gathering storm. This talk
among Democrats about Tilden having
been Weakened in 1876, and about his
not being the man for an expected
emergency next time, is what, more than
anything else, gives Grant his strong hold
on many Republicans. This is why Conk'
ling says that strong man is needed as
the Republican nominee. He processes
to be deeply impressed with the conVic-
tion that the Democrats mean mischief
that Is, that they mean to count in their
nominee next time, be the result at the
bsllot.box as it may, and this Is going to
be the powerful argument at Chicago on
behalf of Grant. The Southern Democrats
at Washington are playing into MS manu-

The primaries in Bellaire yesterday, for
Republican delegates to the St. Clairsville
Convention next Saturday, were held in
the various polling places in regular bal
lot boxes, with clerk and Judge at each
poll. Much interest was taken and voters
Came from far and near. At the township
polls there were men from West Wheel
ing, grumbliUg at having TO walk so far,
but willing to ime for all that. Some OF
the Sherman tickets were printed. In
the Fifth ward there were no sherman
tickets at all-at least to the knowledge Of
the judges. The contest resulted in
Blaine carrying every ward and the out
lying townships by varying majorities,
twelve delegates in all. Capt. BeAton, OF
Columbus, wss here in the interest Of
Blaine, but was not using money, as re.
ported.
