Evans, on Sampson street, sec ond Ward, Allegheny. Shortly after Evans was seen running frantically from the house, and after telling a neighbor ,a most confused and unsatisfactory story about his wife having been robbed and murder r ed, he hurried back to the ho’ise. To the neighbors .who first came in, a scene of horror, such as can not be described, was presented. Mrs. Evans was found lying in the basement room with her head near the door which opens from Sampson street. Her clothes'were in a blaze, tire flesh upon her left side wits burned to a crisp, her throat cut from' ear to ear—or rather her head Was almost severed from her body— and the hono of her neck broken. An infant of but three or four mouths old lay helplessly by its mother’s side, suffocating in the smoke and suffering from the ef fects of having been dashed upon the floor. The fire was put out by those who first went in and the news of the homi cide noised abroad. -; During all the time that the neighbors were present, Evans was wringing his hands and crying, “my poor dear wife.” The Coroner was summoned, who imme i 7 diately commenced an investigation of the case. - A number of persons living in the immediate vicinity were examined, but nothing elicited ’which scorned to throw any light on the dark scene. Gradually suspicion began to fasten itself upon the husband, and he was taken into custody. The circumstances in the case fully war rant his arrest, and wo think it next to impossible for him to escape conviction, unless evidence not yet made public shall bo adduced. In the room in which the murder was committed' l was foJnd a razor I covered with blood, and near to it a piece of blanket flannel, apparently used for the purpose of wiping the razor. Blood was found upon a settee in the room. A severe contusion was visible upon the face of the murdered woman, near the left eye, as if made by a blow from the fist. Evans upon being questioned as to whether the razqr was his said he did not know, but that ho had one like it. There was no fire in the stove in the room in which the i \ body was found,_nor does it appear that there was any in any other part of the house. Here then is a carious point in the statement of Evans. He says: “When I opened the door, J found the body ly ing thereof I went up? and put my hand on her aim j*bund that the was dead !” Now just imagine a husband, finding his wife lying in a blaze, and her babe by her side, deliberately putting his hand upon her body, to see whether she was alive or not! Then, without attempting to extin guish the flames, or . rescue the struggling infant from suffocation, he runs into the street, and cries out, “my wife has been murdered and robbed.” As to his having money is disbelieved by some, as he had been borrowing small sums, and had been idle during the greater port of the winter. It is stated upon what seems to be good, authority) that the oldest daughter of Mr. Evans,’ (who was awakened by her mother, just before the murder) wiU tes tify .that alter she get up, she met her fa ther upon the stairs, and was; ordered back to bed that she returned to her bed room, and soon after heard the cries of her mother. If i she .testifies to , these facts, there can hardly be a dqubt of the guilt of herfhther. . . •■•••• • *The-babe much injured by being dashed on the floor ..at the time the murder was committed, died on Saturday last.

The origin of the nre is attributed to a couple of miners, who, hav ing some work to perform in drift in the depth of miners, built a fire—they being cold-fin the gangway. The flames destroying the prdp tim ber, were carried by a strong current rapidly along the passage, and the fire communicating to the coal, nil subsequent efforts to extinguish it were ineffectual. The men were cut off from escape, and were undoubtedly suffocated to death. Their remains were never fonqd., A few days since we ascended the mountain at the spot of the fire, and were much interested | in examining the effect of the fire upon the sur face. The course of it is from east to west, and where the vein is nearest the surface, the ground is for the space of several hundred feet, sunken into deep pits, and while the stortes ex hibit evidences of having been exposed to the action of intense heat, every vestige of Vegeta tion has been blasted. It is a desert track in the midst of smiling fertility. The ground in some places was almost too warm for the hand to rest upon it, while steam from water heated by the internal fire rose from every pore. The fire has evidently extended for several .hundred yards from the place it originated, and finds vent and air to continue its progress, -at the pits to which we have alluded.
