.8 THE DAILY EVENING TELGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1870. CEVT irJTELLIt BnCB IXTEMTERANCE. A Double Dentli In a Tenement nouns A Itlnn d hln Wife Found Dead thla Horning teaaperanre the l'robdble Cn.ua. Two death i occurred early this morning under rather suspicious circumstances in a tenement house In the southern part of the city. A man and his wife were both found dead in their own room, with no apparent cause for the occur rence, they having been seen in apparently good health on the evening previous. The man's name was John Gallagher. He was an Irishman, and did not do anything in E articular for a living, having lost one of his ands. His wife was a hard-working woman, and has generally born the reputation of beine temperate. She worked out by the day, did washing, cleaning and the like, and supported her husband. They lived in one small room on the bacK ot trie third lioor of iso. WJ Bwanson street, in the Third ward. A little girl living on the premises states that (iallagber was seen at tne front door last eve ning in good health, but some of the other occu- Eants of the building say that he was about the ousc, but was not well, being ovei come with the exertion of moving their household effects on last Thursday, when they moved into the present quarters after beiDg turned out of a house near Water and Dock streets. This pos sible sickness might show caueo for the death of the man; but the tact mat Doth tne man and the woman were found dead at nearly the same time cannot so easily be accounted for. The woman was known to bo in good health, strong and hearty, and without complaint. Ollicer McCullough, in whose beat the house is Eituated, was informed early this morning that the deaths had taken place, and visited the spot. He found the man lying dead on the bed in their third story room, and the woman dead on the lloor, facing in the other direction from the man. A small tin kettle partly filled with whiekr w.vs found on a trunk near the bed. The officer immediately gave orders that nothing was to be disturbed, and telegraphed to the Coroner to hold e.n inquest. The inquest was to be held at some time dur iiitr the morning, but until the result of that is made known a true statement of the facts of the case cannot be made. On visiting the spot this morning the body was found as described. The house is three stories in height, and in every room is one entire family, and none of the families are very small, by any means. The house is in the filthy con dition usual to snch places, and the strong and unpleasant odors that greet the nose of the visi tor are anything but pleasant. The various inmates of the house have different stories of the occurrence, from which it is almost impossible to glean one which will combine the Erincipal facts of all. The landlady of the ouse, living on the first floor, says that she had no knowledge of anything connected with the affair until about half-past, five o'clock this morning, when some one came down stairs and told her that Gallagher was dead, and that his wife and another woman living on the third lloor had lifted him from the floor where he had been lying to the bed. A doctor was sent for, . ut when he arrived the woman was dead also, and was lying in her every-day clothing on the floor. The doctor said that nothing could be done to aid them, and directed that information should be given to the police, which was accordingly done. The oilicer then came and covered up the bodies, to keep the flies off, and closed the shutters, but otherwise left the bodies just as they had been found. The landlady expresses her sorrow that she did not know of the occurrence sooner, or something would surely have been done to help the sufferers. No marks of bodily violence were found on either of the bodies, but some time after death had taken place the bodies turned a dark yellow color. This, taken together with the fact of the whisky being found in the room, and the state ment of a neighbor, leads to the belief that the parties died from the effects of excessive intem perance. The neighbor's statement referred to is that of a woman living in the third story front of the same house, who says that Gal lagher and his wife were cutting up high, and making a great noise during the night, and that this nprqar oply ceased with the coming of morning. If this statement be true, the two undoubtedly participated in a heavy spree in the night,. from the effects ot which they died this morning. The result of the inquest will be published as soon ae known. The Late Georob C. Frajjciscus, Esq The following circular has been Issued by the oflicers of the Pennsylvania Hail road Company, announcing to its employes the death of the late General Agent: It has become my painful duty to announce the Oeath of (.

Alderman Quirk sent Bates below. Late last night Jacob Stout and William Har ris, colored, attacked another colored individual, named Peter Stevenson, on Meadow street, Frankford, and slashed him recklessly about the face with a razor. His cries drew several police men to the scene, but the attacking party suc ceeded in escaping. John F. Brown had a hearing before Alderman Dallas this morning, charged with assaulting Policeman McLaughlin at Sixteenth and Whar ton streets. He was held In $000 ball to appear at court. George Garvin, aged 30 years, living at Fif teenth and South streets, has been sent to pri son by Alderman Morrow, to await the result of injuries alleged to have been inflicted by him upon bis sister. The Donnelly Case and the Pennsyl vania Hospital We have received the fol lowing communication from Dr. Harrison Allen: Jo the iditor of The Evening Telegraph. Hin adkli'bia, July 26, 1870. You will do the un dersigned a favor by publishing thU brief state ment; Some misunderstanding has arisen from the account of a reputed case of sunstroke having been dented admission to the Pennsylvania IIoBpitaL The lacts of the case are these: Donnelly was re fused admission at 1 o'clock on Friday, the 22d inst. At t o'clock 1 saw the case. The man was suffering from exhaustion, and had severe pain. 1 did not vronovnee it a cane of suimtroke. At 8 o'clock, as Donnelly was still complaining, I thought him to be a suitable case for admission to the Hospital. It was upon the representation of these facts at the institution that he was received. Had Drs. Meigs or Hunter seen the case with me on the evenlDg of Friday I believe that they would have acted precisely as I did. Very respectfully, Harrison Ali.bn, M. D., No. liasBpruce street. The Heat. A pleasant air has been prevail ing all morning, and has prevented the thermo meter from reaching within several degrees the height attained yesterday. Charles Boebin died this morning from the effects of a sunstroke sustained yesterday at Gtrmantown road and Turner's lane. He re dded at No. 2133 Turner street. John Case died at No. 813 West street, at 3 o'clock this morning, from the effects of the great heat. ' Street-Walkers.

At sixteen minutes after 7 o'clock this morning an alarm ot fire was sounded from box No. 233, located in the G001 Will Hose House. Wood street, below Twenty third. The firemen responding with alacrity found the woollen mill of John Dearie, situated on Linn street, between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth, wrapped in flames. Owing to the nature of the contents the heat evolved was almost Insufferable; nevertheless the- members of the various companies worked like Trojans to check the progress of the flames. Their efforts, however, were unavailing, and in the fpace of about one hour the place was a com plete wreck. The property destroyed was a four story stone building, rough cast, 45 by 80 feet, and was filled with the latest and most improved ujncuiiicry. The firm employed, on an average, above 200 bands. Thcso had nil gathered for their dally labor, when, at a few minutes after 7 o'clock, the alarm was given that the building was ou fire, and the next seen was the flames bursting forth. The fire originated in the picker-room, situated in the northeast corner of the third ftory of the building. This room was separated from the other apartments by an iron door. In the place at the time were one workman and two boys, who attempted to extinguish the names oy means 01 patent fire-extinguishers, but wcro unsuccessful. Word was then com municated to the engineer, who made nse of a steam apparatus, but with no other effect than driving the workman and boys from the room. the dense volume of steam being too overpower ing. Unfortunately, they had not time to close 1, Lie 11 uu uuur meuuoneu aoove, ana tne conse quence was that the fire soon spread.

A cable telegram published el&ewhere states that there has bi en an insurrection in the prin cipal city of Ava, resulting In the massacre of 1400 j erson?. Ava is the name by which the Burman 1 mplre in Southeastern Asia, adjacent to IIn doe tan, i known, and its principal city, known under the same name, is situated on the Irrawaddy river, 800 miles north of Rangoon. On the 23d of March, 1839, every substantial building in the city was demolished by an earth quake. The houses generally are mere huts, but previous to4 the disastar of 183'J the rity i contained Ruinsrous, t?mpl52. Till t9w synslsU of an outer and innor city, both fortified, and is bnilt upon an island formed by the Irrawat'dy on the north, and by branches of that stream on all other sides except the southeast angle, wheie it is bonnded by a canal dug to defend that face of the city. The place is surrounded by a brick wall ten feet in thickucs9 and fifteen and a half feet high, supported on the inner sldo by an embankment of earth, and on the outer by an apology for a ditch. The main wall, however, Is kept in no repair, but the (Jovernmcnt quar ter is specially defended by a wall twenty feet high, and a stockade of equal height, which are kept in good repair, as tho people are much addicted to sudden uprisings and royal assassinations in short, to precisely such emeutca as thla one just an nounced, In which 1400 persons have fallen vic tims to their fury. By reason of changes in the Government, removals of the capitals foreign wars, and domestic discord, the population of the city is constantly fluctuating, being gene rally found between 30,000 and 50,000. For eigners only are allowed to erect brick houses, which are prohibited to the natives, for fear they will fortify themselves against the Government. Mr. Judson, the distinguished missionary, re sided in Ava many years. During the present century there have been frequent revolutions in the country, which has also waged two wars against the British. Bince the earthquake of 1839 the couik c! the Burman Empire has passed back and forth between Ava and Amara poora. Baltimore Prodnee market. Baltimore, July SO Cotton quiet and steady at igjjfttoc.
