About one year ago a large brick building on Willow street, below Twelfth, owned and occupied by Col. Win. H. Thomas tor tbe manufacture of (loar barrels, was totally destrojed by lire, together with Its contents. Nothing buohe walls were left stand. lng, and these have been declared time , KS lU dS. oondiuon!" u 6&ffeWlrectlTimertithe umidmg inapectors were notified, but no action was taken In the pre- ' mines. The structure was over four stories high, and a very substantial one, considering thU the i alls apparently remained Intact, while nearly every 1 piece of timber was burned out. Keccntly Mr. Thomas conceived the Idea of re building the factory, and from the progress thus far made by the workmen It Is evident that the Inten tion was to rebuild It on the old walls. Yesterday workmen were engaged In putting on new Joists, and we are Informed by a resident of the neighbor hood that in raising a heavy piece of timber within the walls the ropo broke, and the timber in Its des cent Jarred Hie south wall, which has always been looked npou as the most dangerous part of the pro perty. Adjoining the mill on the west was a two and a half story frame structure owned by J. K. a u. Solid), and occupied by Mr. James Farrey, his wife, Murgaret, and two children, Annie and Thomas i arrcy, oged respectively four and six years. The west wall overlooked the frame structure. Mr. Farrey had on several occasions left the housu, tearing that the wall might tumble down. Especially when a high wind prevailed ho and his family usually abandoned the domicile. Yesterday wnen he was Informed tltat the wall had been weakened by the fall of the timber, he concluded not to sleep lu the bullying over night. Mr. Karrey Is employed as a driver for the Cold Spring Ice and Uoal Company, having their oillce on Twelfth street, below Willow. To the oillce he moved his family, where they slept last night- This morning they returaed to their own dwelling aud had breakfast, after which Mr. Farrey went to his work. About an hour later the boy was sent to school, and In an hour after that, say 9 o'clock, a portion of the west wall fell over with a crash, tarrying a away a portion of the roof of the frame building, and demolishing the entire front, which fell out and almost tumbled Into pieces on the side walk. At the time of the occurrence Mrs. Farrey nnwt have been standing on the pavement near the door, considering the position in which she was found. The noise occasioned by the fall attracted to tfce scene a large number of persons, and a rumor xocra spread that the entire household had been burled beneath the ruins. Workmen from the neighboring factories soon ap peared in large numbers and a search was at once iiiude for those who were supposed to be In the building. Under some timber, which was In a raised position, wan found Mrs. Farrey, and close by was her danghtcr, to whom she was clinging at the time. The tittle one wns taken ont and then the metner was soon after released from her perilous position. The child was found to be only slightly bruised. Mrs. "Farrey had a sovere cut on the head and she was carried Into the residence of Mr. Evans, No. 40 ortli Twelfth street, In an Insensible condition. A physician was here summoned and the wound dressed. The doctor In attendance did not think the laity was dangerously hurt. The workmen who had rescued the mother anl child continued to search lor the niisslug boy, and It was not until some lime afterwards that Informa tion was received that the lad was In school. In the rear of the frame structure Is a stable, directly under another dangerous part of the west wall, and for fear ol a similar accident the horses and carriages have been removed to a place of safety. Subsequent to the accident a rumor prevailed In the neighborhood that an explosion had occurred, and as a consequence the tire companies for squares around turned out. The lieutenant of the Eighth district, with a Bquad of policemen, was early on the scene, and prohibited the crowd from going near either the wall or tne frame building, which are likely to fall at any moment. The Boors Census Another Akoum knt Ao unst it. A correspondent takes Issue with Marshal U re gory 's figures in the following note : "There Is one way of forming a judgment upon this matter, a very Bimplo and easy way, which per haps has been overlooked. It is to be found in com paring the 'Directory ' of I860 with that ol 1670. The two seem to be built up In the same way; more libe ral of names than In former times, when a young man living with his father did not obtain insertion, though be were a voter and taxpayer. "The 'Directory' of 1860 contains In round num bers 122,000 names, that of 1S70 contains 175,000, If the former number corresponds to a total population of 61S,000, the latter calls for 810,000. "Let us suppose that in the last ten years the city has been more largely depleted of its families than in former decades, by their retiring beyond the city lines, while the head of the hou?e comes dally Into town to do business, and thus figures in the 'Di rectory' but not In the census. Certainly the coun ties of Delaware, Montgomery, and Bucks and the Jersey side of the river have not robbed us of more than 89.000 of all ages, so that we onght still to have credit for 780,000. "In former times I had occasion to compare the sura of taxablet with the sum of population in our whole State, and found that there was one tax payer to 4-8 people. At this rate, assuming each name in the 'Directory' to represent a taxable (some of them women), our population would be MO.oeo. This is another fair way of approaching to the truth. "While it Is a fallacy for any city to build its greatness npon its number of people, we all like to know the very truth of the matter, and Philadelphia will never believe that she holds but 657,000."

The window of the shoo -store of J. A W. Wilson, No. 768 South Nineteenth street, was broken into at 6 o'clock this morning and jobbed of a pair of shoes. At the time of the occur rence Policeman Hunter saw a man at the place. Hearing the noise occasioned by the crash of the class, the policeman started on a run, and the fellow also took to his heels. A sharp chase ensued, but me policeman proven me neeter Ol root, as ne was taking hold of the thief the latter drew a blackjack, which was taken from him after some dliilcultv.

The parann was men reau uy me witness anu then by the Court. jur. u incui, oi counsel ior ine neiense, navinz in spected the pardon and the records of the Court, ob jected to the swearing of the oil'ered witness. He said the man appeared up n tue staua lniamous under the conviction oi iciony, ana tne common wealth proposed to remove that obstacle by pro Juc ing a pardon ; In the records of the Court tho pits m described in tne innicunent on wnicn tms piroon was issued Is named Michael Dunn, alias Edwards; whereas the person pardoned was described in tie pardon simpiy as Micnaei Dunn, ana tnero was nothing to show that the person pardoned and the person indicted were the same. Mr. Bagert said the objection same In advance of the proper point; be now called MloAacl Dunn as a witness, and befure his examination could be ex cluded he mtiBt be shown to be disqualified. The court said that wnen tue witness was pro duced it would lie upon the objecting party to prove his (llsquallilcatlon. , The witness being caned, tne ueiense made me formal objection that he was dlsqualliied by reason of a conviction of felony, and proceeded to proof on the point JUr.

(The pardon was otrcred in evidence ana read by Mr. llagert, in rebuttal of the proof of mis my.) Tne witness was men reguiany ouereii. Counsel for the defense objected to his examina tion, on the eround tuat the pardon did not describe tne man witn an anan, wuereus inu record ui ins sentence to an imprisonment oi two years so de scribed him ; and, secondly, because he was con vlcted of two offenses and pardoned for only one. .indue Ludlow saia it appearing to tne court ny evidence that Michael Dunn Is the Identical person who is held In custody by virtue of the commitment of Aucust 16. 1868, and that the same person has re ceived inepuraon oi tue u-overnorior ooin onenses, we overrule trie objection, ana airect tne witness io be sworn.

Cross-examined Before 1 was convicted I did not know John 11 anion; I knew nothing of him before I was sentenced to orison : never heard of him till be came into my cell ; I never knew of Mary Mohr man 's death until ne tola me ; before l was sen tenced to prison 1 never statu in tne city more than a week at a time, and then I lived in Front street ; 1 never came to the city more than five times In my life; I resided here but live times, and was convicted of two larcenies: I lived when here at No. 833. South Front street; I do not mean that I lived on the water or wnarr; I uvea at ko. km three times out or five; those three times were the beginning of 1867, tbe end or iwi. ana tne beginning ei imm. Mr. Uasrert objected to this cross-examination. because this evidence was directed to the Court in order to lav the eround for the admission of this man's testimony, and confined simply to the point of what occurred in prison; ana the man's previous history was not mvoivea or oi importance now, thouirh hereafter it might be pertinent. Counsel for the prisoner answered that as this did address itself to the Court, he thou; ht the judicial discretion should be exerted, cay. strained, lu favor of the life of the citizen, and where the witness is a thief and a felon, the last man on eartn to be trusted with anything, the Court should allow the broadest liberty In ascertaining his fitness to testify. Mr. Hagert replied that this was not now a ques tion of the credibility of the witness, but Biuiniv whether he used any improper Influences upon the accused to induce him to make his statements. At another stage of the proceedings the question of credibility wouia arise, ana men me neieuse coma elicit all the information concerning the man that they were now asking him. Judge Lndlow The question that now presents Itself is only as to the preliminary examination of me witness, ana wnue.Birictiv BneuKiuir. these Ques tions ay be Irrelevant, yet in a case so grave and of such magnitude, ws are disposed to deal liberally and allow the prisoner every advantage that Is con sonant; wun justice ana ins law oi tne land, ana we permit these questions to be asked, relying upon counsel not to extena mem oeyona a certain limit, The witness resumed Before I came here I lived In New York, in Sing Sing Prison; I was convicted restore robbery, in the day time, and was not par- aonea. Counsel for the prisoner moved the court now to note an objection to the examination of the wit ness, because, by this last answer, be was made infamoas by a conviction in New York, of whicU there was no pardon. The Court said it wonld be improper tosustais the objection at this stage of the proceeding, because the Commonwealth had a right to cross-examine the witness, and to act lnteumentiy, tne court should be further informed as to the facts of the convic tion ; for the present, therefore, the objection was overruled, reserving a final decision, upon it here after, and allowing counsel for the prisoner to re sume tue examination, Dunn resumed 1 was in New York thirty dais before I was sent to Sing Sing; while to New Yotk I supported myself by stealing; I came nere io steal ana aia ileal ; before 1 came to now York I was in Liverpool : I was sent to Australia as a convict bv the KuitliBh Government : when I re turned to England I got live years again for stealing rings oui oi a jeweir j mure ; i served only lour years ; got one year's mitigation for good conduct, wnen John Uanion was btougnt into my cell I did not know he was comma : he was brought there bv the keeper, Daniels; while Uanion was working with me nobodv else was there; the Moudav before he was brought to my cell, Mr. Smith and Mr. Tryon came to see me : 1 was told they were detectives ; Mr. Smith shook hands with me, and said, "How are von.

I said 1 would like it; Mr. Trrou said the body was found on a dunghill; that was all that was said to me; no one was to see me about this matter before that : nobody told me that Uanion was to be brought to me ; I bad been told about four months before that I would have a partner: H union was a perfect stranger ; I had never seen hits be- fore; I did not tell him of the interview I had had with Tryon ; I told him nothing of It. The detectives came to se me about the woman's clothes; they said they wonld find out where the trnnk was when we were.arrestod ; that woman was not my wife: she took my name at mv suggestion, for I pleaded guilty and wanted to get har off; my lawful wife is In Sing Sing for Ove years; I want to tell the truth ; I never'wss told that If I was examine:! 1 should tell this whole thing about myself; I was hard at work In my cell this morning when they sent for me.sud I did not know that I was to be ex jmlDed j tne detectives, when I told them this, said .might be wanted, but did not say certainly that; Smith. Tryon. and Taeuart were the detec tives who came to see me; when Smith asked me what I thought of a inuii who would ravish a g'rl and murder her, I said he onght to be hung; then he next asked melt I would like to Have a nartner: I told him mv hiad Keeper hsd promised me one some time hefre; he did not say I should have for a partner the man who was accused of having ravished a airl and then murdered her: I have told all they said to me about it; Sunday week,' after iiHrion came into my ceil, l was taken down stairs to the oftlccr to see Mr. Smith ; Uanion was in my cell on Sunday; I had previously to this told thit I wanted to see Mr. Smith because he had begun to tuiike statements about the murder; Mr. Fleming unlocked the door aud told me I was wanted oown Hairs; befoie that, I did not, know I was going down; I told mv keeper to tell Mr. Per kins thatlwnnted to see Mr. Smith; I nad never neen Mr. Smith but once before in all my life, and never but the once did we talk about this subject; when Mr. Smith made the remark about the girl and the statements were made to me, 1 thought it was my duty to send for Mr. Smith.

The Indcpcndance Beige says: "We daily receive visits from escaped oflicers of Bazaine's army Their testimony is conclusive as to the treachery of their com mander. " The municipal ofllcers of Metz have If 6ued an address to the inhabitants exhorting tbem to patience under the misfortunes for -which they are not responsible. The country and history will exonerate the people of Metz from any share in the Ignominy of her sur render." The Snprlementary Agreements to the Capita- ibiiod. London, Not. 8 Evening journals print a supplementary agreement in regard to the ca pitulation of Metz by tho civil officials to re move or remain at their option undisturbed in property. None of the inhabitants, either in civil or military capacity, to be interfered with or held responsible for any previous acts, or for political opinions. The Blck and wounded to have every care. Families of ofllcers or soldiers serving in the armies of France not to bo mo lested in any of their rights. Public property, with archives, moneys, and papers, to have pro tection. The mode of disposing of wounded prisoners is als 3 prescribed. The charge is reite rated by the Prussians that Colonel Walderaee, of the Queen's Guards, was betrayed and mur dered near Bourgetrby means of a flag of truce treacherously displayed by th French. The Capture of Dijon. The Prussian forces which operated against Dijon met with obstinate resistance before the town on the 30th. The soldiers of Baden cap tured the heights on which the French forces were posted, when the latter retreated, and on the next day the authorities surrendered. There is nothing of interest in military reports from before Paris. It is alleged that Russia is apprehensive of the revival of Polish nationality under Prussian protection. German official papers recall the fact that France refused an armistice to Austria in 1859, until the latter bad accepted preliminaries of peace, and that the First Napoleon always re fused to grant peace without territorial indem nity. The Swiss troops have been withdrawn from tho French frontier. Order front King William. Berlin, Nov. 3.

You have maintained all the virtues which especially distinguish soldiers With Metz tho last army of the enemy is de stroyed. "I take this opportunity to thank youill, from general to soldiers. Whatever future I look for ward U, it is calmly, because I know that with such soldiers victory cannot fall. "William.' The Wreck of the Cambria. Glasgow, Nov. 3.

Inter ments are still going on, and a considerable space in the centsy plots has been tenanted since I was here a week ago. French coflins were lying piled up and exposed in tbe great side trench. I read some new Inscriptions on the wooden crosses; one was to tho memory of the Baden grenadier Aloys Klein, killed by a bayonet wound from a drunken French soldier during the entrance march into the town; his murderer lies In the same grave. Another was over a patrol fired upon at midnight of the same day; two perpetrators were seized, and as neither would incriminate the other, both were shot. This gloomy spot will be the most abiding record of the horrors of the Strasburg siege. Its citadel, at this moment so crushed by the German artillery, will rise to new life, but pain ful memories will haunt this scene for centuries to come. "For weeks to come there will be abundance of work in the enormous reparations required. Heaps of ruins brought out and piled before the doors reveal an extent of havoc which would be unsuspected from an external survey; one sees only a small hole in the roof through which the bomb had made its way, and then, like the genii of tbe 'Arabian Nights,' has burst from its imprisoning vessel a gigantic and in furiated demon. "Notices are posted in all directions of the temporary instalment of the magaziaes of shop keepers dislodged from the ruined quarter of the city. There are fresh proclamations on the walls from the PrefectsCounts Luxburg and Bismarck-Bohlen announcing help and repair of damages, but a change has come over these. No longer, as has been the usage while Stras burg remained French, does a parallel French and German version appear on the placards. It Is German only now. One sees various indications that the French language is to be hustled out of sight as soon as possible. The new official weekly organ of the general government of Alsace, of which eight numbers have appeared, is printed exclusively in German. None of the Journals of the Fatherland will acknowledge the French names of the streets painted up at the corners. In the reports of their correspondents the Porte de Pierre is the Stein Thor, the Rue des Nuees Bleues becomes the Blau VVolken stracse. "The editors of the Strasburg papers have an nounced the abdication of their functions, which do not seem to have been overpowerfully ardu ous. Sunday's storm of wind and rain has blown into forlorn tatters the two large German flags which proudly waved from the cathedral summit, to which the colony of rooks have now returned; they fly round and rosed, in and out the spire, cawing in curious wonder. 1 he wreck of the railway station is being cleared away, but has been so shattered tkat some days yet will be re quired before it can be opened. One is surprised that no photographers are at work to perpetuate the scenes of the bombardmont; their sale would be enormous; but there has been an exclusive concession of the privilege to one person. It is probable tbe rough and ragged edges of the scene will be smoothed away before tbe artists are ready, as gangs of laborers are bard at work clearing away the chief unslgbtliness. Little crowds gather silently at the street eorners as each new placard is put up, and the disappear ance of the French language upon them is avenged by the pencilling of ' Vive la Franca at their foot. One sees no signs of disaffection, one hears none uttered; nevertheless, I have been several times told by these unmistakable Ger mans, 'We are Deutsch by race and language, but France par coeur.' "As the Grand Duke of Baden was examining the injuries of tbe siege, an Alsace woman asked him if he had got mouey enough to pay for all the damage he had done, lie denied, while laughing at the bluntness of the question, where upon she added. 'Then you had better not come into Alsace.' The breaches in the houses heigh ten tbe picturesque aspect of buildings, many of them already sumciently striking. There a clump at tbe foot of the bridge leading from tbe Porte d'Ansterlitz into the heart of the eity. They have often been painted by artists, and wear the look of a group of staggering belated roysterers trolling out 'We won't go home till morning.' One is In doubt to say whether they are most engaged in propping each otber up or pushing each other down. Their lofty, strag gling, uany-windowed roofs and gables have been knocked about by cannon balls until they have got to wear quite a human aspect of pu sled, helpless perplexity." Tux 'Star" Couksi of Lbctckss. This even lng, at the Academy of Music, Mr. 1'ugh wul Intro duce to the I'hlladelphla public Miss Isabella Olyn, who will read bhafcespeare's tragedy of Macbeth. Miss Olyn has for many years been at the head of tbe English tragto school of acting, and It Is a suffi cient indication of her merits to say that she la the only sctrecs who has of late years achieved success In such characters as "Cleopatra" and the "Duchesn of Maid." As a reader Miss Olyn la the only rival or Mrs. Kenible, and In her rendition of Macbeth this evening, a great Intellectual aud artistic treat mj be expected.
