EXCITEMENT ON raE STREET.
Four Shots Fired at a Fugitive
From Justice.

Last night about ten O'Clock loud screams
for help on Bryan street just west of Bar
nard caused much excitement in that neigh
borhood, which excitement was increased
by the discharge of a pistol four times In
rapid succession. A large crowd ran to the
spot to ascertain the cause Of the difficulty
and the following facts were developed:
1t seems that negro man named Albert
Hall, aud a negro woman, one Martha Rain,
who lives st the corner OF Joachim and Mill
streets, became engaged in difficulty, dur
ing which the man gave the woman severe
beating. She began screaming for the pO-
lice, and officers Bender and Hall went to
the place and arrested both parties
While taking them TO the barracks the
woman continued her screams, and when
near the corner of Barnard the man began
Offering resistance to the officers, and be-
came so Obstreperous that he had TO be
severely dubbed and knocked down three
times. Despite all this. however, he still
proved unmanagea and just as he reached
Barnard street he succeeded in breaking
away from the officers, and ran off IN
the direction OF the Bay. He was instantly
pursued, and fred at four times, but with
out q fleet, for he succeeded la making his
escape for the time. We learn, however,
that he was subsequently arrested, and both
The woman and himself will probably this
morning have an interview With His Honor,
when the whole matter Will be thoroughly
investigated.

womap Burned 10 Death.

Yesterday afternoon about half past
twelve O'Clock Petty Mccall, q colored
woman, who lived at No. 95 Perry street.
was horribly and fatally burned under The
following circumstances: It seems that she
had been confined to her bed through
some indisposltlon, and at the time Of the
accident was IN her room alone. The room
becoming cold she arose from the bed aud
started to the fire place to put on some wood,
and lust as she reached the fire she feD
hesdfOremOst into the flames. Her hair
first caught on FIRE, and almost immediately
the flames communicated to her clothing.
She seemed to be utterly unable TO move,
and her screams brought assistance, but 1t
was too late. About one-third OF the body
Of the unfortunate woman was found burnt
to a.crlsp, and after lingering In intense
agony for about four hours death came 20
her relief.
The exset esuse Of the fatal fall into the
danes is not known. Her mother says that
she was subject TO fainting spells, and IL Is
presumed that IS she approached the Ere
she was seized with one of them, and, alter
falling, did not recover consciousness until
she was burned, as above described. Her
funeral as will be seen By notice else

Saturday night about O'Clock some citi-
Gems passing along the Bay, near Whitaker
street, observed dense volume of smoke
rolling out from the cellar of the store
occupied by Mr.. T. P. Bond, No. 157
Bay street. The cry of ''ire" rang out
upon the street, and in a few minutes
crowds of people were hurrying in the d.
rection OF the Bay.
No one seemed to think of turning in an
alarm from the nearest station. and it was
some fl fteen minutes after the fire was dis
covered that station No. II was ruDg, and
the department were signalled of the danger
MeanN hile some one had rushed TO the en-
CINE house of the Waivers, on Congress street,
and notified the men on duty, and, In a
short while their steamer and hose cart were
on the ground and at work. The other steam
ers responded quickly to the alarm that
was given from the station, and on reach
ing the ground were put into efficient SER
vice, and soon had the flames under control,
aud the fire was confined to the cellar, WI ere
Il originated. The cellar was stored
with hay, OF which there was a large
stock on hand. The upper floors were
stored with corn, oats, bran, fruit, etc. The
property belonged TO the estate of De RenDe,
represented by Mr.. Henry Hull, and was
lQsufeQ III bVt 4HNuTduCc OOU-
pany, of New York, for So. 600; in the Sou h
era Mutual, represented by Messrs 7. H.
Harden & Co., for $500, and IN
the Lion, of England, represented by
Messrs. Johnston & Poindexter, for
81. 5OO Mr. Bond estimates his loss at
about 50 500. He had insurance in the
Columbus (Miss.) Insurance Company, re-
presented by NJ. A Cohen, ESQ, for 81 900;
In the Scottish Union and National Com
PAW. represented by @. A. Rel re, ESQ for
81 600: in the North British and Mercantile
Insurance Company Of London and Edin-
burg for $500; In the Pbe7ix Insurance
Company OF Brooklyn, for $500, both repre-
sented by Messrs. Jno. Sullivan q Co.
The smoke from the burning hay poured
into the street in volumes and gave the
appearance of a disastrous coDfagration.
The fire is supposed to have originated by
ONE passerby carelessly throwing lighted
cigar butt through the iron grating into the
cellar which fell among the hay and ignited
it.
We learn that Mr. John Cassidy, watch
man on Jones block, was the first to dis
cover the fire and dispatched for police
man, and also had Mr.. Ferst notified Of the
proximity of the fire, friend having pre-
yiouslY gone to the residence of Mr.. Guck-
enheimer, who occupies the adjoining store,
and apprized him.
The fire will in no wise interfere with Mr..
Bonds business, as the greater portion OF
his store is intact, and, with large stock
on the wharves and to arrive, he will be en-
abled to continue without interruption.

| DELIGa TFUL ENTERTAIN.
MRNT.
At Which. Among other Thingss
Our Quarantine Laws Were Dis
eussed.

Yesterday afternoon we were the foitu-
nate recipient of an invitation to dine on
the Spanish steamer "Yidal ssla," Don Jose
Antonio Luzarra, Master, which recently ar
rived at this port from Barcelona, consigned
to Mr.. 8. Fatman. and which will soon
with a cargo of $500 bales. On arriving at
the steamer (which has a capacity Of LBS
tons, and is In every respect fine ship we
found quite a number OF invited guests
present, among them Don Daniel de la
Pedrsja, the Spanish Consul; Don Luis
Marinas de Ssvaggi, the Spanish Vice Con-
sui, and several of the most prominent mer-
chants Of the Bay.
While the entertainment was entirely
private one, given to his friends by the
genial and whole-souled Captain, various
subjects OF interest were discussed, which
makes it a matter worthy of public notice.
Chief among these was the subject OF the
quarantine laws at this port. The Vice
Consul stated that our quarantine system
as at present conducted was keeping foreign
vessels away from this and driving them TO
other ports, and his remarks were heartily
seconded by the Consul. This latter gentle
man stated that be was anxious to see the
that was desired was such quarantine regula-
tions as would enable foreignvesselstou under
stand what would be expected OF them. lit
was necessary such vessels would cheerfully
remain at quarantine as long as was re
quired of them, but their owners and
master always desired to know beforehand
what would be required. At present they
were IN perfect ignorance as to how long
they would be kept at quarantine, even
when they have clean bills OF health, and to
avoid this annoyance he knew personally
that several Spanish ships had avoided Sa
vannah aud gone to Charleston. This is
very important subject, and we regret that
we have not space to give the remarks OF
both these gentlemen at more length. We
hope, however, that this brief allusion to
them will call such attention to the sub
ject as may lead to the proper rectiication
of the evil complained of.
After par 'akiDg Of a splendid banquet the
guests adjourned to the cabin, and were re-
called with some pieces of sacred music by
Mr.. Rafael Salss and others present. At
length Mr.. Ramon Sslss, who is
one of the leading Spanish merchants
in the city, proposed the health OF all
Interested in the Spanish trade in Sa-
vanusb, and, after mutual greetings, the
party separated, all agreeing that the entire
evening had been delightful one, and that
Captain Luz8rra was the soul of hospitality
and the priuce Of entertainers.

Of considering important matters connected
