Tb Oestrnetlon tf the Vommrrrlal Rxrhnnge
Building The Io.b Tho Uritcln a My titer T.
At a few minutes before 5 o'clock last evening
thttra was a cry of fire on Second street, above
Walnut, and it required but a few seconds to
discover its whereabouts. But a few minutes
more elansed when there was a crash of glass,
followed by the bursting of a flame from the top
of the handsome building owned by the Com
mercial Exchange Association. By this time
the alarm bad been given over the Police and
Fire Alarm Tclegnph wires, and shortly the
'apparatus of the First, Second, and Third fire
districts were on the ground. All efforts were
made to stay the flames, but from the rapid pro
gress which they made the attempt proved
fruitless, and in less than two hours nothing of
the structure was left save the bare walls and
that portion of the first floor occupied by the
Tradesmen's National Bank. Numbers of citi
senB were on the ground early, eager to render
assistance in removing the contents, but com'
inunlcation having been cut off with the upper
. Iloors, none were got out. . j,.
There was a rumor on the street, for which
we could not ascertain any foundation, that
when the fire broke out several persons were in
' the main room of the Association, who were
taken from the building by means of ladders
As to the origin of the lire several theories have
been advanced, but it is. as yet, involved in mys
tery. One rumor was that it resulted from the
laliinc of a chandelier in the main room, but
that was dispelled by the statement of the janitor
that there was no sucn article in mat apartment,
Another rumor was that it resulted from defec
tive tlues. but as the structure was heated by
, steam that is ' not plausible. Another was that
it came from an escape of gas, and the final
rumor was that the fire was the work of an
Incendiary.
It seems to rest between the tw latter
theories, which may be solved by Fire Marshal
Blackburn when he again appears on active
duty. William 8. Pine, the janitor, states there
were no people In the upper part of the struc
ture except two boys.who, as usual, were posted
at the bead of the staircases on either side of
the main entrance, observing that none but
tliore having the entree passed up. lie, himself,
was iu 11)0 cellar fixing the boilers for the night,
and was notified to get ont of the place, as the
building was on fire. He ascended to the first
floor, and going into the rotundo, looked up into
the tower, tuo upper pari oi wmcu was all in
a blaze. He then turned off the gas, and endea
' vored to go up tho stairway, but was compelled
' to return, as the llames were rapidly descending
the tower, lie believes the conflagration to
have Lecn the work of an incendiary, stating
that no gas was need lu tue upper part ot the tower,
as the rooms were not occupied. As to the
crash of glass, which gave rise to a report that
an explosion had taken place, be believes that
was occasioned by the intense heat which must
necessarily have endued. TM frlas formed the
skylight in tho ro6f.
The building comprUcd, in addition to the
main room, which was used for meetings of the
Association and for the display of sainplos, some
twenty odd olllces, a reception room, and three
committee rooms, the latter being iu tho tower,
On tho tlrst lloor there were twenty olllces,
r which were ranged on cither side of the main
entrance. These were ociurled as follows: On
tho north side, by Lewis Audonrcid & Co., coal
merchants; The Vessel Owners' and Captains'

wk from water. Nothing was allowed to l
taken from this room except some valuable
tminilngs which Would in all probability have
been blistered by the heat. The furniture cost

insurance. All the Important books and papers
wero secured In the vault, and have sustained
no injury. There was a safe In the room of
Secretary Ward, which contains tho books and
papers of the association, the condition of which
remains to be proved.
1 lie second story consisted of one Immense
room, which was devoted to the use of the Asso
ciation. It contained thirty lariro marble-top
tables, on which the members displayed their
samples. Nothing was taken from this room,
as it was impossible to reach it. The three
rooms In the tower, as before said, were not
occupied.
l-'orcign Item.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette says that "the ill-will with
which England is regarded in Russia is slowly
but steadily Increasing," and that an impres
sion is spreading in the Russian capital "that
the complications In Central Asia must lead to
a violent collision with the rnler of India." - Re
ferring to a recent article in the Moscow Gazette,
the correspondent observes that this paper
speaks with the greatest enthusiasm of tho ap
proaching opening of tho Suez Canal, which, It
thinks, will make Russia the arbiter between
Europe and Asia, and drivo England from the
position she occupies iu the East; and that the
real reason ot tne coiuncss recently suown by
the Ruislan organs towards Prussia is the belief
that English and Prussian interests are Identi
cal. Auothcr article in the Moscow Gazette,
dated the 25th of October (Oth of November),
says that Russian commerce with Central Asia is
acquiring a great development, especially in the
direction of Kashgar, which promises to furnish
a more considerable field for Russian traders
than Bokhara, but that the Russians find them
selves balked at every step by tho competition
of English goods. "A caravan of 0500 camels,
laden with tea and European merchandise,
lately arrived from India by a new route, via
Afghanistan," says the Moscow Gazette, and tho
bestway of opposing the spread of British com
merce in these regions is to open new roads to
Russian commerce. It accordingly recom
mends the establishment of a fort and harbor on
the Amou-Darya and the commencement of
operations against Khiva with a view to "pre
venting that country from becoming in future a
place of refuge for Russia's enemies, whence
they may direct attacks on ner frontier.
The revival of M. Alexandre Dumas' drama,
Le Chevalier de ilaison Jiouge, at tho Porte
Saint-Martin Theatre, has stirred up an old
question, which had already oeen asked in 1848,
as to why the author did not allow his hero to
retain the name under which be actually flour
ished in history that is, Rougeville, not Mai-son-Rouge.
To this inquiry M. Alexandre
Dumas has just replied by giving a very extra
ordinary story in the columns of the Moniteur
au hoir. w ruing to tnat paper, M. uumas says
that the four-volume novel from which his
drama is drawn had been originally announced
to appear under the title of "Chevalier de
Rougcville," but that a day or two after the
publisher's advertisement was printed he (M.
Dumas) received a letter from the Marquis de
RougevMle, son of the Chevalier, asking him
what sort of a part his father was made to play
in the book. M. Dumas answered very cour
teously that, as he greatly admired 'the heroic
devotion of the chevalier, lie had painted him in
glowing colors, but that, to avoid in any way
hurting the susceptibility of the marquis, he
would rechristen his work and call it Jlainan-
Jtoune. So far so good: but at this point the
story takes an unexpected turn, for, after an in
terval of a week or two, M. Alexandre Dumas
receives another letter from the marquis, couched
briefly as follows: "Sir (Jive to your novel
what title you please. I am the last of my
name, and J am going to blow out my brains
this evening." This unsatisfactory epistle was
delivered to M. Dumas at 0 P. M. Without a
moment s delay he started off the secretary to
the marquis' lodgings in hopes of being able to

quis, who, like his sire, seems to have been of an
unfortunately romantic turn of mind, had fallen
madly in love with a Russian lady, who had
some excuse ior declining nis advances, seeing
that he was already a married man. Driven to
despair, the excitable nobleman had given the
lady a last rendezvous at his house, and the
moment she crossed bis threshold had shot him
self In the head. M. Dumas' secretary heard on
arriving that he had not killed himself on the
spot, but was lying dangerously wounded. A
few days later, however, when ho went to pay a
second visit, he found that tho marquis had torn
off his bandages in a paroxysm and was dead.
"Thus," says M. Dumas In conclusion, "you will
see that it is not lrom ignorance, but iroiu am
cretion, that I call my drama Maison liowje."
