its vicinity. But finding themselves
very much inferior to the enemy, who
besides, had the ADVANTAGE Of then
shipss they abandoned New York and
retired further back. Ga their quitting
New x ork. aha Britishry immediately
| entered and took possession Of It, Five
days after they had been In exclusive
possession Of it, a fire broke out in sa-
loon of low character. The tlarues
spread fast and far, consuming many
pnblle buildings and private residences,
and more than four hundred OF the four
thou6and tenement houses Of the city.
The troops, angry at the destruction OF
houses, which they had looked upon as
their shelter for the coming winter,
selzed persons who had come out to save
property. and, without trial or inquiry,
killed SONS with the bayonet, tossed
others into the flames for sport and one
they hanged by the heels till he was
dead. The progress Of the flames was
arrested, not SO much by the soldiers as
by the sailors from the feet, whom the
admiral sent on shore. But the sailors
repaid themselves we'll for their trouble,
by piundering the houses that had es-
capped confederation.
After the disasters On Long Island.
Washington wanted person to enter
the enemy's Camp and procure lntelli.
gence as to their designs, that he might
know where to expect their next attack.
Nathan Hale, a Young captain of
KnoWlton's regiment volunteered HE
services for this perilous undertaking.
Assuming the character of a school
master, he crossed over to long Island,
entered the enemy's oncAmpments,
made drawings Of their WORKS, and
noted what information he had OBJ
tained: On his way back he was cap.
tured and taken to the guardship,
thence to New York to tbs head.quar
tiers of Gen. Howe. Before Gen. Howe
he frankly ayowed his name, his rank
in the American army and the purpose
for:which he entered the British lines.
Howe ord cred him 10. be- executed as a
spy on the following morning. During
that night he was exposed to the in
solent cruelty of his jailer. He was
denied consolation of seeing a clergy
man, and even refused the request for a
Bible; a letter that he had written to
his mother, and another to a comrade
in arms we're both destroyed by the
provost marshal. AS he assembled the
scaffold he gave expression to this noble
sentiment: ri regret that I have but
one life to lose for my country" His
scountrymen never pretended that
Nathan Hale should be exempt from
the penalties which the laws of war i'm
pose; but what they have to complain
of is that the hours of his imprisonment
were embittered by barbarous harsh
ness.

ACCORDING to City Assessor Plum
mer there were on July l, 1889, IN the
city no less than 1900 vacant houses as
result of the overbuilding, which had
been going on for some time. By Octo-
Der l. however. more than onehalf of
these had been filled, in spite of the fact
that since July l, 1889, at least 8, 900 new
houses have been built. According to
the figures the assessor has of the last
canvass of the city. there are at this
time only about 900 Of them unoccu.
