tbe majority of oar city railroads were In the

Fikk m tub Eighth Ward Loss, $2500.
About half-post 12 o'clock this afternoon, the
roof cf the building No. 1338 Cheunut street took:
fire, from some cause unknown at this writing.
The flames soon communicated to the roof of
the adjoining balldlDg, No. 1410. About one
half of each was burned off.
The garret In which the flames originated
was occupied by P. F. Cooper, photographer,
and used for storing furniture and photogra
phic utensils. Hiss loss will probably amount
to J500 by fire and an equal amount by water.
lHiecily under him, in the third story, is a
small room occupied by Henry Longs troth as a
school-book depository.
A large number of books were ruined by being
soaked with water. The building is occupied
by several other parties, but they sustained no
loss beyond a few dollars. Several seotlons of
h, se burst in the building, and the paper on
tbe walls was ruined. No. 1310 was occupied ou
the flrnt floor by JoReph Kelly, tailor. Ills
damage is not very material.
The second and third stories and garret were
occupied by Miss M. Mora, dealer in Paris mil
linery. Her loss will be considerable, prlncl-
fmlly by water. The total loss will reach at
east $2500, if not more. Mr. Cooper was in
sured. We Obskbvk that Colonel Fitzgerald's new
ply, Light at Last, is underlined on the bills
of the Arch, and we are glad to hear tbat it will
be produced in superior style, with every atten
tion to detail. The piece Is said to contain
tbiee or four fine effects, and those who know
say it will have a long run. The case will in
clude Mrs. Drew's entire company. Mrs. Die w
will personate "Catharine Fulrlawn," the
heroine; and the next parts of importance, "Mr.
mid Mrs. Millstone," will but given to Mr. and
Mts.Walcot. For "Millstone," first-class comedy
ability will be required; hut Mr. Waloot pos
sesses all those Chnmpaeny aualllles hitch
spirits, a contagious laugh, graceful action
which will carry the house by storm. Uraig,
one of our best comedians, also has a superior
part. So have Miss Price and Mrs. Thayer. The
third act is mid to contain a thrilling duelatrois
of words between "Mrs. Falrlawn," Miss Fair
lawn," and "Robert King." The fourth act con
tains a superior mechanical effect. The Death
in tbe Moonlight, which ends the second act, is
also said to be very exciting. We are glad to
welcome a Philadelphia play, and trust it may
be a brilliant success.
Mayhem and Other Crimes. Moses Cle
mentson was yesterday drunk and uproarious
at the corner of Cotton and Main streets, Mana
j unk. Otlicer 8baw attempted to arrest him,
when he turned and assaulted the offloer, who,
after having his under lip partially bitten off,
aud his face well battered, finally marched his
prisoner to the Station. Clementson was looked
up in a cell, being committed there in default
01 81200 bail. Sometime afterwards tbe tarn
key entered the cell, and found that the bird
had flown, by tearing up a plank out of the
floor, and slipping through into tbe cellar of the
Station, and then going out of the window.
Olllcers were Immediately sent out In search,
and be was soon after brought in. 8500 more
was added to bis ball, and, he was placed in a
stronger cell, having an additional charge to
answer.
Almost a Sebioub Accident. About 9 o'clock
tbls morning, a sleigh belonging to Mr.Clarence
21. Clark, and containing a little son of his and
a driver, was being driven down Chetmut street,
between Thirtieth and Thirty-flrst. In turning
out of tbe track at that place, to allow a car to
puss by, the sleigh was upset, and Its occupants
were thrown out right before the wheels of the
car, which, not being stopped, shoved them
ahead as they lay across the track. The only
injury they reoelved, in their perilous position,
was a few sllg ht cuts and scratches.
Wholesale' Stealing. William Smith, a
colored man, lived with a Mr. Maok, at Kaston,
Pa. About three daya ago he took a double
barrelled gun, abol-pouoh, powder-flask, silver
lever waton, aud seven dollars all belonging
to Mr. Mack and ran away. He went to
Bethlehem, and from J. here he came to Phila
delphia, aud was nabbed at the depot of the
North Pennsylvania Kailroad by Oflloer May.
bin, of tbe Eleventh, Ulstriot. He was sent
baok to Kaston.
Abusing His Wifb Edward Davles is
charged wltb abusing and deserting his wife
and child. Yesterday bis wife went to his
working place, No. 1209 Wood street, and en
treated nim to give ber something to support
herself and child during these col J days. It la
alleged that he rewarded her with kicks and
cutis. He was arrested, and held by Ituoorder

aged sixteen years, waa arrested by Sergeant
UHlne for stealing a horse from a farmer living
on the outskirts of Jenkintown. He was takeu

JJAVANA CIGAR CIR0ULA.R.
We have neither abandoned the CTOAR IMPORT
ING BUSINESS nor commenced manufacturing
what are usually called "Domestic Clears."
We continue to Import Havana Cigars, as we have
done for forty years.
Their high cost, however, has determined us to
Introduce a bona fide substitute that can BK RE
TAILED AT MODERATE PRICE, and to this end
we aremanufactur'ng FlneHtandard Cigars, lnoluding
grades made entirely of Vuelta Abajo leaf, Bnch as la
used only In lesdlng Havana factories. This we pre
pare and work ON THEIR BYWTEM, guided by
long practical experience lu this manufacture at
Ilavaua,
Our new enterprise is, therefore. In its leading
objects, a mere transfer of a first-class factory from
Huvana te Philadelphia, and our manufacture will
be. In greater part, strictly Fine Havana Cigar, equul
to any Imported, yet much cheaper, and by no rceuns
to he confounded with even the best customary grades
Of Domestic Cigars.
The smoking public may soon Ji'dge of the truth of
our assertions, as our Cigars will shortly be offered
to them through the principal cltv dwalers.

Further Details of the Murder Edwin
Kelly 1st a. Orltloal Condition Teatl
roosiy 0 Samuel B hartley and Others,
Kte, Ktc. '
Prom the N. T, Com. Advertiser of latt eveding.
The condition of Edwin Kelly, one of tho
victims in tbe desperate affair in Twenty-fourth
street, yesterday, was this morning considered
hiprhly critical. The bullet, whlch loded over
tbe lelt temple, still remains in the wound, the
operation of removing it being a very delicate
one. He was somewhat flighty," both from
ti e exciting clrouoibtances of yesterday and the
irritation 01 tne wound.
The remains of Thomas Pharpley still remain
at the Morgue, where an inquest will be begun
to-morrow morn ng. We give some further de
tails of this traeie affair in additiou to thoe
eiveD. It appears that a strong fueling ot
rivalry has existed between the parties in the
affray, growing out of the competition in their
business; Kelly & Leon being the proprietors of
the establishment of nesro minstrels, No. 721
Broadway, and Snmuel M. Sharpley, the pro
prietor ol the Theatre Comlqu The leeling
bechmc embittered on the side of Sharpley who
had been told of a statement said to have been
mnrie bv Leon some time ago In Boston, to the
eCect that he (Sharpley) was bankrupt, and who
thoueht Kelly had dealt in an underhanded
manner in engaging certain dancets.
Yesterday tbe parties met at the matine3 at
the Filth Avenue Theatre, accidentally, and
Sharpley determined, alter the perlormunce, to
bring Leon to account tor tbe alleged slander
upon bim. Tbe audience had nearly dispersed
when tbe parties left the theatre, and Sharpley,
who had been joined by Allison, the Treasurer
of his establibbment, accosted Leon and de
ruHnded a retraction of his statement about
Bharplet's credit. Leon denied having made
any such ttatemeDt. Hharpley then gave Leon
tho lie, accompanied by expletives of a still
more offensive nature, and a, tbe same time
stiikinsr him with his fist. Leon is a sllsli'.ly
built man, while Sharpley is robust, and Kelly
interfered to defend his weaker companion.
He was struck by Sharpley and knocked down,
mid, According to one statement, kicked in the
lace while down.

ley, aprears upon the sceue at this juncture,
apparently as an assailant of Kelly, who states
tbat the brothers Sharpley and Allison, were
all striking and kicking him at the same time.
Leon does not appear to have taken any active
part in the alTair alter his first eucountor with
Sam.
Kelly, having reeaiued his feet, drow a re
volver and fired turee charges into the crowd
of his assailants, one of whom, Thomas Sharp
ley, fell dead on tbe first discharge. Sam
Sharpley seeing his brother fall, and Kelly, as
he states, firing at bim after falling, also drew a
futtol and fired at Kelly, tbe ball taking effect
n the left side of the head, above the ears, and
lodging in the left temple. He was about to
fire a second shot at Kelly, but his arm Mas
caught by Officer Frcese, and the ball struck
tbe forefinger of his left hand. Thomas Sharp
ley's body was removed to Bellevue Hospital,
and Kelly had his wound dressed In a drug
store, barn Sharpley and Leon were taken to
tbe Station House.
Thomas Sharpley was thirty-one years of a2e,
and leaves a widow and two children. His
occupation does not seem to be clearly known,
but it is stated that he was part owner of a faro
bank in Twenty-filth- street. He lived in
Twenty-sevenlh street, near Fifth avenae. Tbe
matter will be-tbe subject of a rigid Investi
gation. Samuel M. Sbaipley, brother of the deceased,
made the following statement before Judge
Dodge, at Jefforson Market, this morning: I
reside at the Bevere House, corner of Broad
way and Houston street; on Wednesday after
noon my btother, Thomas Jefferson Sharpley,
was violently assaulted by Edwin Kelly and
Francis Glassey Leon; my brother aud I were
on the sidewalk In front ot tbe Fifth Avenue
Theatre, on Twenty-fourth street, near Broad
way, when we met Leon and Kelly; Leon and
mysell had some words, when Kelly interfered;
both struck at me, and Leon ran across the
stieet, followed by me.
My brother, Thomas Jefferson Sharpley, was
standing near Kelly, who immediately drew a
four-tarrelled revolver, which was loaded with
powder and bait, and pointed it at my brother,
and discharged it deliberately, the first shot
striking him on the head and causing him to
fall on the sidewalk with his head partly in the
gutter; and Kelly then deliberately fired two
shots while my brother was prostrate, one
taking effect in bis left breast and the other in
the right side. My brother was then picked up
and carried to the vestibule ol the Fifth Avenue
Thratre, where he died In a few minutes of the
wounds inflicted; and I charge that Kelly dis
chaiged the pistol lor the purpose of taking my
brother's life.
Officer Daniel Freesp, of the Twenty-fifth
Precinct, deposed that about 4 o'clock In the
afternoon, while on the corner of Broadway and
Twenty-fourth ttreet, he saw Francis Glassey
Leon ruiiniug tbrouuh Twenty-fourth street,
pursued by Samuel M. Sharpley; that Sharpley
said, "Arrest tbat man;" that witness caught
Leon and took him and Sharpley to the Fifth
Avenue Theatre, where there was a great crowd;
that witness heard a pistol shot and naw Thomas
Jefferson Sharpley, the brother ot Samuel, fall
on the sidewalk with his bead and shoulders in
the eutter; that while prostrated, be saw Edwin
Kelly advance and discharge a pistol, delibe
raiely firing two shots.
Officer Kenny deposed thit after the fatal oc
currence, he arretted the prisoners lu the drug
etoie of Casswell & Mack.
Leon and Sharpley were committed.
