FIRE.

FIRE.
The alarm was sounded little af-
ter ~ yesterday m rning, and the
glow that filed the Northern sky
proved that fire had already made
destructive headway. The location
Of the fire turned out to be at the res
idence of the Rev. DR.. Carroll, Pastor
of the Second Baptist church, on
Merrimon Avenue. Neighbors and
others quickly gathered, and the fur
niture of the lower floors was gotten
out generally in good condition, but
in the upper story was much mutilated
or else abandoned to its fate. BY
the tim the fire department reached
the spot, all the rear of the building
was in full blaze and the flames had
insinuated themselves all through the
upper story running under the roof.
and between the cealing and plastered
wall and the outside covering. A
stream Of water was soon in strong
play; and after a long and stubborn
conflict the fire was extinguished.
The East end of the house is al a
charred ruin. The front shows little
mark of the fire; but in fact khe
flames had run through the On y
part of the building, and in n
much Of which appears outwardly TO
be intact must be removed. Yhe
damage to the house and furnitA re
is probably $4,000. There is an in
surance of $4,000 on the house and
of $500 on the furniture.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
1t broke out in room above the
cook room occupied by a neg"0 boy
servant. He had left earl in the
evening and was not present at the
time of the fire. He had left his lamp
and matches down stairs. The fire in
the stove had been extinguished some
hours. When the blaze of the fire
flashed on DIR. Carroll, he ran up
stairs to the room, snatching up a
bucket of water from a shelf as he
passed; when he opened the door, the
boys bed and the cealing overhead
were in full blaze, and the fire beyond
individual control.

was taken because of the want of
Jurisdiction to try the cause.

EXECUTIVE LETTER Books RE-

Rod from September, 1862, to

The executive department was
sacked and pilla@ed by the Fed

Our FIRE DEPARTMENT

Is entirely voluntary organiza-
tion, dependent upon the spirit Of
the young men for the arduous du-
ties to be performed and the liber'
ality of the municipal corporation
for the supply OF apparatus. Tn
like paid fire department, which
provides quarters for its men, and
keeps them together ready for in
stant emergency, our young men
return to their homes when their
days business is ended. and they
are scat cred over the wide area of
the city. A night alarm often calls
them to very remote points and i
is astonishing to witness the alacri"
ty and despatch with which the
summons is obeyed, aud the rapid
ity with which they move to the
scene OF disaster.

MANSLAUGHTER.
Myra G'OnFey Convicted Ol
Manslaughser YesterttaY.

Yesterday morning when theJury
came into court at $50 O'Clock, and
asked lis Honor for a clearer ex-
planation OF, the difference between
murder and manslaugbter, the large
assemblage that filled the court
room knew thatthe conflict between
the Jurors in the case was confined
to this difference between them.
And when the foreman of the iury
asked Judge NacRae if they failed
to make up 4 verdict of murfaar
could they bring in a verdict #
manslaughter, Col. Jones stepp l
over to the prisoner, and whisper
in her ear, probably told her
she need not hope for acq1
The jury then retired and
minutes to three o'clock p. M, e -
into court and announced that fSey
had made up their verdict-and
that their verdict was that the priS-
oner at the bar was guilty of man
slaughter. The prisoner did not
seem to be agitated in the least at
the announcement. and her coun-
sci asked his Henor net to sentence
her until they had filed motions
etc, which they proposed entering
in the case. The State not praying
judgment, his honor acquiesced in
the prayer of counsel for the de
fence, and the prisoner will not be
sentenced until one day next week.
The jury was discharged, prisoner
remanded to jill and court WAS
adjourned for the week.

The failures are a great surprise.
A dispatch from Raleigh says: Busi-

because of the failures at Durham, N. c.,

business com munity. Only one concern
here appears to have had any anticipa-

Bank of Durham and transferred it to
the First National Bank of that place.

The Gulf Stream.

The main Gulf stream is said to end on the
south side of the banks of Newfoundland; at
all events, the stream divides there, the
larger branch crossing the Atlantic north
ward to the coast of northern Europe, passing
the North cape and becoming undistinguish-
able near Nova Zembla The smaller branch
crosses eastward, curves southwark between
the Azores and Portugal, sending out smaller
branches into the Irish and the Mediterranean
seas and joins the north equatorial current,
with which it returns to the Gulf of Mex
leo, and so completes the circuit.
Thus the most northern point reached
is near Nova Zembla. the most south
ern near the equator. 1t touches the
United States, Newfoundland, the British
Isles. Norway. Portugal and Morocco. The
equatorial currents touch the eastern coast
of South America and the western coast of
Africa The Japan stream touches Japan
and Corea, Kamschatkl and Alaska and the
western coast of North Amenica and the
Mexican coast, flowing almost as far south
as the equator.
