FIRE AT THE NAVY YARD.
Narrow .Esenpe of the Ship iI.OIISCB.
A STREAM OF LIQUID FIRE
GREAT CONSTERNATION AMONG THE PEOPLE,
,
The upper part of .the storehouses isOhe north
west corner of the , navy yard was ~destrbyed by tire:
at an early hour yesterday morning. There were
inany attending thrilling scenes during the progress
of the flames, and it may be safely said that the es
cape from destruction of the ship houses, and the
vessels being built therein, the two-turretted To
nawanda, the sectional dock, other buildings, &c.,
may almost at once come under the head of miracu
lous. A email ilickeringlight was observed in one of
the Windows in the western end of the build
ings towards Front street, as the two o'clock re
lief guard were going the rounds of the yard. The
discoverer was the sentinel who was posted near
the western end of the building. About the same
time the sentinel at the gate had hie attention at
tracted by the smell of smoke and a flash that
convulsively flickered in the upper window. The
corporal of the guard was at once called, and in turn
the sergeant of the guard , was summoned, and he ap
pearedin a few mornents,and proceeded at once to call
the officer of the day. By this time the news was
communicated to the quarters of the Captain and
Commodore. In a very short time, Commodore
Stribling, commandant of the yard, Captain C.
Welhoraisjor Doughty, commandant of the marine
guard, Lieutenant Haycock, officer of the day, and
perhaps several other officers, occupying subordi
nate positions, made their appearance. Up to this
time, it did not appear that the fire had made any
progress ; the light still seemed to be struggling to
get vent, the smoke commenced to curl lazily from
the window frames,
The Navy Yard alarm-bell was rung, and the
s' long roll was beat" by the marines. The fire had
made very little progress, even at this time. The
ringing of the bell, and the sound of the long roll
aroused all the inhabitants, and nose of them know
ing the cause, and not seeing any light, were
seized with consternation, and a sort of panic ensued.
Some thought the rebels were coming up the Dela.
ware.. The ringing of the bell brought as soon as
possible all the operatives within sound of its well
known tones. Upon arriving there, the first thing
they did was to bring into requisition the apparatus
in the yard, consisting of two hand engines, several
carriages of hose, and hooks and ladders. The Go.
vernment fire apparatus was under the command of
Thomas A. Delany, who has charge of this depart
ment As soon as the marines received orders from
the proper officer, they and the watchmen of the
yard went to work ; but many of the operatives who
had arrived and who belonged to this department,
were refused admittance by the guard. It was evi
dent that the rules for the government of the pa,
in case of fire, were entirely lost sight of during this
emergency. About this time, a police officer on
Front street, who bad discovered the fire almost as
soon as the sentinels inside, started for the Shiftier
Hose Company, whose house is located on Reed
street, below Second, a distance of about three
squares.
TAB SHIFFVER ARECIVBS
. The Shiftier arrived in a few udnittes and was
ready to pass in the water from three plugs which
they had already taken. But the members met
with an impassible barrier and were thus for a time
effectually impeded in their patriotic endeavors.
The guard was drawn up before the main gate on
Front street, and the firemen and the neighboring
°Miens endeavored to get in:
" Stand back," said the guard, "you can't come in
without orders"
- " Don' t you see the property burning4l” shouted
back representatives of the populace and the fire
department.
"Can't help it ; you must stand back.”
Just at this moment the smouldering fire had burnt
'through the fourth story floor, and living coals were
showered into the apartment below. The whole
of the third story and part of the fourth was
brilliantly illuminated, and the flames were pro.
greasing rapidly to the roof, which was covered with
slate. The smoke nowincreased, and curled up from
the eaves and windows. A full half hour had
elapsed, and yet nobody was admitted. It was very
evident that the building and valuable contents were
doomed to inevitable destruction.
"Let us in I" shouted the Skiffler.
"Stand back ; you cannot pass without orders."
The flames were now rapidly increasing, and the
building presented all the appearance of a model
diorama of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. • The
smoke curled wildly though majestically through
the upper stories. The red tongues of flee were lick
ing up . coil upon coil of tarred cordage and other
inflammable material, At this moment the Shiffiers
stormed the iron gates.on Front street, but the guard
drove them back at a charge bayonet. The firemen
then put their hose under the gate, and told the ma
rines to lead it to the fire. This they refused to do,
because they had not received orders. Marines are,
of course, perfect machines, and being strictly dis
ciplined, do not often, move unless ordered. They
of course are not censurable. There was another,
and perhsps'more thrilling scene going on at another
part of the yard. It was the arrival of
THE WBOOACHE ENGINE. •
Steamer, hose, and Hook and ladder, had already
arrived at Prime and Church streets, north of the
burning building and at the eastern. end thereof.
Here there was a break in the wall, to in extent of
perhaps fifty feet, consequent upon improvement--
going on. This aperture in the wall was enclosed _
with a - board fence. The inside was guarded by a
solitary sentinel. The Weceacoe members, aided by
several of the Cooper-Shop Volunteer Refreshment
Committee, stormed the wooden fence that barred
them from the yard. The temporarygate was forced
" open, and the solitary sentinel stood his ground,
with his musket at a charge baronet.
"It ie my orders to allow no one to pans here,"
nhouted he.
Cant help it, ,, replied the enthusiastic Wean
noes. as they imbed on ; at the same moment two or
three of them went head over heels into the cellar of
the new improvementa now going on. None of
them were hurt. _ -
The sentinel was flanked right and left, and some
one gave him to understand that, if he dare shoot,
the crowd would kill him. He was most emphati
cally a 'prisoner on his post. It was not his fault,
certainly.
The next moment the Wecoacoe had three streams
on the tire—one on Prime street, another on the east
end of the building, and the other on the south side,
In the interior of the yard. The battle between fire
and water now commenced in real earnest.
THE ALARAT IS SOUNDED
At 2 o'clock and 22 minutes the fire alarm was
sprung by the police. This would have been done
before, but for the requests of the officers in the
yard, who thought they could subdue the flames
without any outside help. When the State - House
bell struck, the fire had been burning within eight
minutes of an hour, that is, from the time of disco.
very. The yard was now opened to the Fire Depart.
ment. Company after company arrived in quick
succession, ard soon immense volumes of water
were thrown in upon the burning pile. The Shiftier
and the . Hope had almost exclusive control of the_
' , western end, and continuous streams of water were
troouredin here. The tire burned stubbornly, the roof
being well slated. The various articles in sto
rage in the first story were removed by the
Navy Yard employees, the firemen and po
lice. Among' these goods - were cans of
benzine, copal varnish, and barrels of spirits
of turpentine. These, in being rolled out, were
more or less damaged. Several spigots were broken
:from the cans, and a head or two was smashed out
of barrels of turpentine. This highly combustible
liquid spread over the surface of the yard, and.
among barrels and cans of the same material. Pre
sently the roof of the burning building fell in with a
great crash, and while myriads of sparks shot 'up
ward, large flakes and burning timber fell to the
ground. In an instant the benzine took fire, and
abe scene at this time was thrilling and sublime as
it was frightful. Apprehensions were now enter
tained that the fire , could not well be mastered.
Chief Lyle telegraphed at halt•palt two o'clock to
the Central Station, to -
STRIKE A. GENERAL ALARM,
in response to which the whole Fire Department was
speedily in motion. The benzine, varnish, and tur
pentine that had ignited as above stated was carried
down the gutter in the torrent of water. This'&ut
ter was close to the south side of the big ship hbuse,
and emptied into the river in the immediate vicinity
of a number of large frigates, steamers, transports,
and gunboats. In its wild course it set fire to a row
of ornamental trees that had justbeen painted, the
benzine in the paint accelerating the flames. The
firemen turned five or six powerful streams of water
upon it, but instead of checking the flames it posi
tively increased them. Presently a large pile
of boxes or eases of shell and solid shot
ignited, and the cry of " Look out for an ex
plosion I" startled the ears of the working crowd,
and for a few moments even the hearts of the daring
men who had fought many a battle of fire and water
quelled, and there was a tendency to a panic among
the busy men. A stream or two from steamers was,
constantly applied to the encased shell and shot.
The panic, however, was momentary, for the fire
men were assured that none of the shells were
;-there was no fixed ammunition in the yard.
The liquid fire kept on its wild- and apparently re
sistless course toward the "big ship" house. Every
body, expected to see that immense pile of architec
tural framework speedily enwrapped in flames.
Water was entirely useless as a remedial agent in
this case. A large number of men wtth old tarpau
lins dammed up the gutter with them, while other
operatives with spades and shovels threw dirt upon
the stream, and thus the ship house was placed out
of the imminent danger that it was in. - There:
35 no question that, had the. -- big-shiwbouse'
become wrapped in flames, the little ship butiding
would speedily have followed suit, with the new
ships hulloing in "them. In such a case no earthly
power could have saved the double turretted moni
tor Tonawanda. The sectional dock, and other adja
cent and valuable property, to the amount of many
Millions of dollars, would have been' involved in
one vast general - conflagration. During .all this
scene of terror, one could not help admiring the gal
lint conduct of Capt. Wells. In the midst of the
greatest of the excitement, he was calm and cool,
and thus able to give direction in the operations of
the men under his official command. The same may
be truly said of the officers , lho hold subordinate
positions to that which he so well fills. An immense
Dumber of people had cOngregated at the scene of
the conflagration, and it 'was evident that by four
o'clock the firemen had gained" the victory, by the
use of twenty steamers.
'THE ORIGIN OP THE NINE AND. THE LOSS
The buildings on fire were . substantially built of
brick, four-stories high, with heavily framed roofs,
covered with slate. The cellar or basement was
used u a storage for beef, pork, and other provisions.
The trot story was used by the naval store keeper,
purser, and other attachis of the Navy Department.
portion was also used for naval stores, of every
description, required in fitting out a vessel of war.
The books and papers-attached to these depart
hients were saved.
The second story was used for the storage of
canvas, of which goods there was an immense
amount on hand, some of it having' been received
within a few days. The fire did not reach this
apartment. j The canvas .was deluged with water,
but this wil not injure it to any great extent.
Of signal.lampe, and ships-lanterns, bunting, .&c.;
there was any number or quantity; all saved.
The third story was entirely destroyed. It was
occupied for different purposes. The gunner had
his office on this floor ; -here was also the medicine
room, containing a- large stock. The remainder of .
She apartment was used as the gunners' working
loft. It was pretty well stored with ordnance stores,
the gearing for the guns of seven vessels, cartridge
bags, &c., &c. All destroyed. _
In the fourth story or attic, there was considers
ble property destroyed, some of it invaluable, be
cause it cannot be replaced. In a small foom on
this floor wer e stowed away for siesta keeping many
articles of rarity and taste, the collection of many
yeari, by the late Commodore Hull, proverbial, for
hie Pfriu. This was an extensive museum of curi
osities ,• articles of -use and ornament that. he .had
Collected Outing his lifetime in all parts of the
World. There were many volumes of rare and valu
able books, and quite .a stock of wine in bottles
Some 01 it at least fifty years old. These things had
Leen left here by the widow, of the old Commodore
for, safe keeping ; but nowall these things of beauty
sad taste are involved in a mass of black and
ahapelees mins. In this story was a large collection
elf valuable patterns, designs, plans, drawings, an
'endless variety of such things, the accumulations of
half a century. Among the valuables' destroyed,
Were a large number of rifibs of the Dahlgren pat
tern, cutlasses and pistols. The' origin of the fire is
Somewhat involved in mystery. Reports to any
amount freely circulated among the crowd that it
was the work of the enemies - of-the Government ;
that disloyal persons were employed in the yard;
and that treason was covered up there under milt.
tary clothing. As an instance, and it may be singu.
/ar to relate, we heard a mu denounce some of
the officers as " Copperheads„” &c. The very de
nouncer intends to vote the Copperhead ticket
at the coming election. All the idle and wild ru:
more of this kind about this man or that man, may
do very well for a little exciting talk, but they can
have effect upon the calm philosophy of reason. The
origin of the fire is not exactly known. Fire Mar
shal Blackburn will sift the matter - well. It has
been ascertained that the fire broke out in the car
penters, cleaning room, where there weregreasy rage
and other waste. No fire was used in this apartment.
The room was locked and tight. The great probability
is that it originated from spontaneous combustion.
The extent of the fire and the very narrow escape of
the most of the property in the yard, maybe attributed
to the red tape of official dignity. The loss is vari
ously estimated from 50,000t0 100,000 dollars. The
United States Goverment never gets any of its pro
perty insured. The fire having been subdued, the
Wecoacoe and Hope steamers were now put into re•
quisition, and drew the water out of the cellar.
About five o'clock their labors ceased.
BASE BALL—The Athletics returned frera
Altoona early on Sunday morning, highly gratified
with the result of their visit. On Friday they played.,
with the Mountain Olub, and came off the victors
by <a' score of 73 to 22, the latter being the highest
score any club has made against them this season.
The Philadelphians were treated with unbounded
hospitality, and they will long bear in remembrance
their match with the Mountaineers or Altoona.
On Thursday next the renowned Ebrelia Club op
Newark, N. J., will visit Philadelphia for the pur
pose of playing with the Olympiad, Athletics, and
Keystones. We have not seen the programme but
we suppose the Eurekas will be the guests the
Olympics on Thursday, the Keystones on Friday,
and Athletics on Saturday. No doubt these clubs'
will maintain the character of our city for good play
and genuine hospitality. Delegates from the three
clubs will meet the Eurekas at Trenton. Members
of the Nassau Club, of Princeton, will accompany
the Eurekas to Philadelphia. Meetings of our clubs
will be held immediately, to make arrangements for
this base-ball festival. The Athletics meet to-night
(Monday) at the residence of their president. The
Eureka. will put up at the headquarters of ball
players visiting Philadelphia. The Eurekas will be
followed by 'the noted Star Club, of Brooklyn, on
the 24th inst. Two of the above games will be
played on the grounds of the Keystone Club, corner
of Eleventh and Wharton streets—the parade
ground—and one match on the Athletic grounds, on
Seventeenth and Master streets. These contests
will be among the most interesting that have yet
taken place in this city.
ARRIVAL OF THE MASSACHUSETTS.—The
United States supply steamer Massachusetts, Lieut.
West commanding, arrived oft the navy yard about
two o'clock yesterday afternoon, from the South
Atlantic Blockading Squadron, via Hampton Roads,
with about two hundred passengers , prisoners, and
invalids. Among her passengers is Commander
Rhind, of "Keokuk" fame. She has been as far
south Be Mosquito Inlet, Florida, and supplied over
fifty vessels with provision and other articles nese*.
nary to man's sustenance. She reports the loss sus
tained by our forces in the attack on Fort Sumpter,
on the Bth inst., was not dyer fifty persons in killed,
wounded, prisoners, and missing. The attacking
party did not exceed 250 men. The bombarding , of
Ntbe forts on Sullivan's and James' Islands was pro
gressing when the Massachusetts left Charleston
harbor, on the evening of the 9th inst.
SAD CASE of LPROWNING.-9. little SOU Or
Captain David W. Lennox, aged five years, Sell off
the new steam-tug Fred Wheeler, on Saturday last,
and was drowned. The tug is owned by D. W. &

his endeavors to rescue the child.-
RESIGNATION.—We are authorized to state
that Mr. James. G. Barnwell, principal of the Fif
teenth-ward Grammar School, has resigned on ac
count of ill health, the Designation to take effect

in another column it will be seen that a new time
table on the West Chester and Philadelphia Rail
road (via Media) goes into elect today:
DEATH AT TUE U. V. R. S. HOSPITAL—.
A discharged soldier, named David Duncan, died at
the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon Hospital

Sessions—Judge Ludlow.
The whole of Saturday's session was taken up with
cases of enlisted minors. who sought to be disobarged on
habeas corpus. Most all of the boys were of such youth
ful appearance that it is a matter of wonder that any re
cruiting officer would receive them.
THE POLICE.

of Williamson, has been further respited by the Gover
nor, until Friday, 27th of October.
'Alleged Theft.
A young man .was arre.ted yesterday morning, at the
