LOCAL MATTERS.


SLIGHT LOSS AND CONSIDERABLE EXCITE
MENT.
About 1880 O'Clock yesterday morning
the fire-alarm over the reporters table In
the Dispatch Office commenced to strike.
In n little while the sounds became so con-
fused that il was thought the superintend-
ent was testing the wires, and no further
notice was given the bell.
Pretty soon tiremen were seen hurrying
towards the Tredegar Works. and great
excitement was caused by the infor-
nation that this valuable property 0he
largest industry in Richm0ndD was on
fire. Crowds Of folk, remembering the
recent great conflagration, hurried toward
the fire, and in less than ten minutes there
were thousands Of people on Candles Hill
and every prominent spot in the neighbor-
hood Of the fire.
1t was hard to tell at first glance the ma
ture and extent of the fire, owing to the
density of the perfectly black volumes OF
smoke, which, despite the wind which
prevailed, was perfectly impenetrable to
the eye at any distance. As the firemen
commenced to subdue the flames, how
ever, il was seen that the tar and paint
shop of the works had been the cause OF
the fire-alarm.a
The shop was frame building OF ordi-
nary size, and was situated in an Isolated
LOT some distance from any other building.
and i'm a southeast direction from the
main works. 1t was here that water-pipes
were tested and painted, a great deal OF
tar being used for the latter purpose. This
tar caused the smoke TO be so black and
thick, and also made the fire burn so
rapidly.
The confusion in the alarm sounded by
the fire-telegraph was caused by the turn
inc in OF so many alarms and the failure to
understand how to use the boxes. The
first turned in'was at Box 36, near the
Tredegar, where the pulling OF the hook
two or three times confused matters. The
next was turned in from No. rs before 36
had finished striking, all OF which added
to the confusion.
The fire companies, guided by the smoke,
reached the fire as quickly as possible, but
the engines had to throw water long dis
tance, and the hose had TO be taken over
piles of lumber, and other difficulties,
which retarded usefulness. a thousand
feet of hose was used by one engine and
fifteen hundred by another. One OF the
engines became crippled, and did not DO
much service.
General Joseph r. Anderson was prompt
ly on hand with his Tredegar fire company,
and did good service before and after the
city companies arrived. 1t is due the ef-
forts of the Tredegar men, perhaps, that
the railroad trestle and some valuable lum-
Der was saved.
The shop burned was the only building
of all the Tredegar property which was
not insured, and from this some idea OF its
value may be gathered. The machinery in
the building was not materially damaged,
and $500 will be amply sufficient to cover
all loss. The fire was purely accidental.

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

Briefs.-The fire-escapes recently added
to the riverside manufactures are not inn
pressive architectural adornments, but are,
nevertheless, very handy to have around
in case OF an accident. Fortunately these
latter are very rare at the mills in question.
Ii was reported yesterday morning that
William G.. Hall, the colored man con-
demned to eleven years. imprisonment in
the penitentiary by the Hastings Court
Tuesday, had on the night OF that day
tried to enlarge his area OF freedom. Some
confusion i'm his cell. loose bricks, &C., at
tested the unsuccessful nature OF the at
tempt. Hall was taken TO the States
prison yesterday by City Sergeant Fitz-
gerald.
A wind such an one rs frequently visits
Rocky Ridge yesterday played sad havoc
with the hopes Of city merchants in regard
to big sales. The fair sex could not steer
against it, and did not Try to any coIside-
rable extent. The air was filled with.port-
able particles OF earthly and earthly debris.
X. Il. Ballewe, Esq, Of the Fourth Ward,
who has been very i'll, is somewhat on the
mend, to the delight OF his many friends.
Mayor Taylor was not called upon yes
terday TO decide the fate OF a single crimi'
nal or ordinance-violator.

until next Monday. Judge French wen

r travail Of privilege which the State
Erants 10 carry on legitimate business.
That business must be conducted ac-
cordjng 10 the laws prescribed by
the statute. II is for the Court
who grants the license TO determine in its
discretion and the facts before 1t whether
tbe marty obtaining such license Is lawfully
Conducting the business which he Is IL
censed 10 pursue. And in this matter a
very large discretion is given to the court,
either 70. grant the license to aft per-
son. or to revoke Il when 1t appears that
he Is not l." fit person" TO have such IL
cense. .-ir.
In the case before us it Is plain that Da-
Wis. the plaintiff In error, violated the law,
and his defence IL based upon the fact that
he did violate the law and was fined by the
Police Justice for its violation, and that
therefore no further punishment could be
inflicted upon him by the revocation OF his
license. In other words, he pleads n con-
victiion OF a violation Of he law as ground
for his protection.
We think the judgment OF the Hastings
Court revoking this mans license was
plainly right.

Gus traffic in ardent spirits should be care
fully guarded and placed in the hands OF
men who will observe the law and not yio-
late It.
II a man having a license to sell ardent
spirits shall sell liquors to minors, or keep
his bar-room open on election-day or on
Sunday, he is not I" fit person to receive
a license, and when he violates these laws
his license ought to be revoked. II is a
vain thing to say that because he has been
fined for either OF these offences bis license
cannot be revoked because he has already
been punished for an offence against the
law. He might pay his fine and go on in
his illegal traffic, and might well afford to
do 1t, and make money out OF the opera
ton.
Bnt the object OF the statute Is TO stop
such a man from his unlawful traffic, and
to say that he is not a " fit person ITO carry
on such business.
Upon the whole case the Court Is OF
opinion that the said Hastings Court was
right in revoking said license, and tnat the
said Judgment Of the said Hastings Court
be affirmed.
