SATURDAYS FIRES.
About $1.OOO Damage at the 6tarin
 Dock-SIi&ht Fire on Mill Street.

About $1.OOO Damage at the 6tarin
 Dock-Slfght Fire on K1ll Street.
 The damage to the building occupied by the Starin line on Starin dock on Saturday noon was about $1,0e0. The prompt work of the captain of the steamer John Lennox prevented much heavier loss undoubtedly. An Italian told him that the office of the company was on fire, and he had two streams of water put at once upon the burning build ing from the Lennox, which had plenty of hose on board. They kept the fire in cheek until the fire steamers arrived and quickly subdued the flames. Most of the office paper was saved. About $1 TOO was in the safe, money drawn to pay off with. The safe and contents were not damaged. The wind was terribly cold and fierce, but it blew the flames away from the buildings. The water froze upon the firemen wherever it struck. A great crowd of people looked on at the fire despite the icy cold blasts of wind. Mr Conklin, the agent of the line, and the cashier, Harry Van Valkenberg, had not returned from dinner when the fire broke out. The fire was purely of accidental origin, catching in the woodwork from 8 stove. About thirty barrels of flour were damaged. The loss on the property is covered by insurance with H. 0. Warren & Co.
 SEVENTEEN STROKES.
 The fire bells struck F strokes while the other fire was raging It was for slight blaze in an Italian boarding-h house on Hill street, caused by an overloaded stove, which set fire to the fire board Two or three steamers went to the scene. Damage very small.

Crowned While Intoxicated.
 BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Dec. 27.-Mueh ex- citement was caused here yesterday morning when the circumstances of the supposed murder of Mrs. Mary Mccarthy, of Sandy Hook, in the town of Newtown, twenty-two o miles north of this city, were made known. The body was discovered by MT. Mulee and his sister, Mrs. Gallagher, who were walking on the bank of the upper pond sup plying water to the New York Betting and Packing company. They found deceased lying in the water, with her face downward. On the bank was chicken, dressed, and upon it jug containing whiskey and a market basket. The authorities being notified the body was brought ashore, and although no marks of violence were found, the story that Mrs. Mccarthy had been murdered was set afoat. Medical Examiner D1. W. c. Vile, of Nswtown, after questioning many witnesses, expressed the opinion that the woman was alive when she fell off or was put into the water and that death resulted from suffocation. She might have been insensible from the effects of a blow or a fall.
 Coroner Holt after full investigation gave the finding of his inquest that the woman fell into the water while intoxicated and was drowned. Deceased has husband living in Ireland
