Ote Buruiug of the Ohmpic Theatre
—Two Firemen Killed.
Philadelphia, January U. -At three
o'clock this inoruing dame* were diecov
ered issuing from the green room of the
Olympic Theatre, situated on Market
street, below Twelfth. The Are spread
with wonderfol rapidity, igniting the dif
; tereat portions of the stage and the teen
ery and climbing to the roof. Within
twenty minutae after the breaking out of
the Aatpe* the entire structure presented a
broad sheet ef Are which illuminated the
neighborhood for many square*. The
Fire Department went quickly to work,
and tome fifteen powerful stream* were
played upon the burning building. Mean
while the wildest excitement prevailed,
and a crowd ofspeeuton numbering folly
2,000 congregated in the street* immedi
ately surrounding the theatre. The Are
made such fearful headway that it toon bo
came evident that tha building wat doom
ed The flaws* burst from every quarter
of the edifice, and created a heal to latense
that it drove off lira A ram en and seriously
impeded their work. The Aremen became
demoralised to a great extent as tba lurid
flames broke out in freth and unexpected
auartcra, -and Anally turned their atten
on to the saving of tha surrounding
property, which wa* in imminent peril.
St. John's Catholic Church, known a* the
Old Cathedral, standing on a street in the
rear of the theatre, was in great danger ef
igniting from the sparks which continu
ally (all upon the roof, an J it was only, by
the moat Uiuafy and iuplipual effort that
it was saved. During the lite tba boll was
tolled and tlra chimelnc-reased tha excite
ment. The Are spread to the adjoining
More* and warehouse*. About four
o'clock, while the Aamea were still raging,
the floors of the theatre fell in with a lerrt
i ble crash, leaving the bare wall* without 1
support At tbi* lime a aquad of Aremen
I werp }tending upon the roof of a store ad- (

carrying with it the wait of the premises i
upon which the firemen were werkiag and

forty feet into the cellar below, and were
buried beneath tbe ruins and amid the 1
fire The horrible calamity struck terror '
to tbe hearts of tbe hundreds who witness- |
ed it, and iKo work uf rescuing ;ho vic
tims, dead or alive, was immediately he
gun. In about twenty minutes after tbe '
wall fall and after the theatre was antirely i
destroyed the Are wa* subdued. About
six o'clock workmen with pick-axes and .
shovels succeeded in reaching the spot In 1

N. JT., Jan. 27.—A despatch
from Fulion, ou the Oswego Biter, to the
Timet says: The moat extensive Mood
known here for twenty react U now de
vesting the lower portion* of the village.
It iaoccasioned by the high water in the
river and the darning up of a large quan
tity of igp on both aide* of the island chan
nel. From pile* ipafbinp shop to La
prairie and Merlon t grocery, a distance
of about half a mile, and all west of the
canal*, the water covert the ground from
two to *eren feet deep. Sunday evening
about thirty farailie* were obliged te leave
their home*, and many more thi* morning
were carried from the second tory of their
hou*e, where tbey had taken refuge, by
boat*. Unp iptnpe it related where a
whole family were taken from their up
stairs retreat, and among tbein a very tick
: mother, carrying a tiny baby, Men were
teen wading in the water to their waitU,
carrying the women of their households on
their back* to a place of safety. A num
ber of families have been cared for by the
poorniailert, tome %re tping looked after
by charitable citiseot, and many still negd
assistance.
The damage dene to our business inter
est is already greet. The gas-werks are
below the water mark, so we have no gas.
Some of the flour mills are unable to run,
and there is danger that work in all will
be stopped.
CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
Mr. Morten (Rep. ind). moved that the
Senate proceed to the consideration of the
resolution offered by him e few day* ago
providing for creating * commission of Ave
person* to examino and report to Congrats
what legislation it required in rogard to
intar-Slate railroads to previde for cheap
er transportation for the safety and coin
fort of passengers, for the reform of abuses
and to promote the general efficiency of
railroads in tbe interest of commerce and
the convenience of the travelling public.
Mr. Morton addressed tho Senate in fav
or of the resolution. Ha argued that the
l>r to regulate commerce, which the
Constitution gave to Congress, iucludes
the power to regulate the common carrier
and public highway upon which it is trans*
ported. Railroad companies are common
carriers, and railroads are public high*
ways, therefore Congress has the power to
regulate the railroad traffic of the country
end as common carriers are reqaired to
carry for all persons and at reasonable
rates, it is In the power of Congress to de
termine what are reasonable rates.

CONVICTED OF MURDER
lnteieating Trial at Ilarrisburg—A
[ Cae* of Conflicting Evidence.
Harriaburg, Jen. 27.—A murder trial
bet been progressing ia this city since tb*
23d inst., which ha* attracted attention
from tbe circumstantial character of the
' evidence adduced by the prosecution and
tb* positive contredietion* of witneaso* a*
to dates end identity.
Two brothers named Uebm, bulb aged
men, a housekeeper, and servant weman
lived together near Middletown, Pa On
the evening of 14th November lat on* of
the brother* went from the house to the
barn near by for tbe purpose of shelling
corn, laying that he would return by sup
per time. Not coming back, the family
becauia alarmed, and on searohing, found
bit body, yet warm, but dead, lying in an
outhouse adjoining tb* barn. He bad
been killed by blows upon tbe bead. Near
the body was found part of a flail, loosen
ed from lb* handle, with tre, * of blood
upon it, which vu conjectured to be the
instrument with which tbe blow* bad
beeu indicted At tba lime tb* body we*
discovered, footstep# were beard of par
tie* escaping from the barn, and the in
mate# of tb* hou>* were assailed with
stone* thrown at them, but were unable t*
tee their msailanl* ia the darkness In
this emergency tbe housekeeper ran up
Hairs aud bisw tbe dinner born, which
soon brought neighbor* to tb* rescue,
when the muderera ran away. Tba pock
et* of lb# murdered man were rifled, aud
tutu* leaf tobacco taken from a boa of to
bacco in tb* barn
Suspicion attached to twe negro men
who bad been seen in the neighborhood
on the day before, and who, on the day of
tb* murder, bed called at the bouse of lb*
brother* Uebm and begged lerlood, which
had been furnished them. Several aua
pected parlies were arretted, among them
twe negroes resident her* named Rosen
tine and Moody, wb* were identified by
twenty or thirty persons a* having baen
seea in Middletown, and in the neighbor
hood t the place where lb* murder was
committed, on lb* day of tb* murder and
on the proceeding day. On tba mgbl of
tba murder, not long after its commission,
two negro men bed stopped at tba shop of
a shoemaker living not far from Behm's,
and robbed him of a blouse, a cane, and
aome other article*. Th*y alto offered
him sorn* tobacco of lb* quality *to leu
from Behm'a. It was in proof that ou tbe
day before the negro** identified as Rosen
tine end Moody had begged tobacco of
different persons. Tbe blouse and the
cans stolen frem tbe shoeuitkpr wets also
traced to their possession. A bloody shirt
similar to on# owned by Kosentin* wai
found in a lumber yard at Middletown
These were the main facta proven by wit
neasea of unquestioned veracity. Rosen
tine bed boen in jail serving a term for
larceny, and several of bis fellow convicts
•wore that be bad wad* propositus* to
rob some man living near Middletown
when he got out *f jail , also that be had
said ba must have money if be bad to wade
through blood to get it.
Against this very strong array of cir
cumstantial evidence was th* direct lesli
many of witnesses whose veracity ceuld in
no way be impeacned, that may saw
Moody and conversed with him in lb*
streets of Ilarrisburg on tb* 13th end 14lh
of November. Among these witnesses
were person* in whose employ Moody bad (
been for a number of years, and who could (
not be mistaken as to identity. Ruaentine (
also proved en alibi, bqt not ijvi* "0-, (
spectabl# testimony.
Th* pleadings in the caee were finished
last night. The jury were charged this 1
morning, and brought in a verdict of guil
ty of murder in the first degree this after-1'
noon. Jhf negroes were defended by
able coups*].

going on with bis argument and was lean
ing over tha table whan he dropped down,
and in Ave minutes ceased to live. The

woman about eighteen, formerly the wifc (
of a citiaen of Pittsburg whose intemper
ate habits uada her an assy victim to tba
wilat of Young, accepting the position, as
Rarrew did, in tbe prominent dry goods
house of Sample in Allegheny. She has
placed officers in possession of much val

of tbe gang of robbers in large cities. To
make sure of Barrow, the prosecution hava
••cured a requisition from lbs Uovareor of
Ohio to take him to Cincinnati.
