LAJNCASTEK DAILY INTELLIGENCER TUESDAY MAY 9 1882 (Lancaster -iUrllmmcet. TUE8DAY EVENING, HAT 9,1862. Tfce Effect ef the Marten;. The responsibility for the murder of Cavendish and Burke seems te be pretty well fixed upon the Fenians, or the Rib Rib benmen, but it is thought by some that Burke was the real object of the assas sins' vengeance and that Cavendish fell only because of his companionship with him at the time. The support of this theory is found in the supposition that the new secretary had only arrived in Dublin the previous day and that he was there fore, unknown te the Irish assassins. It is furthermore urged that he would have aroused no personal enmity against him self : whereas the under secretary had long been connected with the Irish administration and had made him self exceedingly obnoxious te the discon tented Irishmen by the ability and vigor he displayed in the discharge of his responsible duties. lie is said te have been very influential in the admin istration and te have been in effect the governor of the country. It seems that Ireland is net always or even generally governed by the viceroy, who is often an ornamental and weak person who per mits his duties te be discharged by the secretary. But whether the viceroy or the secretary is the stronger man and the real governor, the under secretary, who has remained in the place through the mutations in the two superior ellices, has by his experience and ability been ex ceedingly influential in the government. This fact has been recognized and may have drawn upon him the fatal knives of his assassins. But it seems quite as probable that the assassinations were a cold-blooded political act, determined upon and exe cuted by Irishmen who aimed te defeat the conciliatory policy of the Land League and te destroy the coalition seemingly formed between it and the Gladstone ministry. It is said by the Londen Times that during the precession upon the day of Lord Cavendish's arrival in Dublin a man inquired three times whether he was in the precession, and w;:s finally satisfied by Lord Cavendish himself, who told him his name. This public appearance having been made ly the under secretary, there was ample opportunity for him te become known te the assassins in many ways, and they cannot be presumed te have slain him ignorantly. That this brutal device will avail te interrupt the conciliatory measures of the English miuistry can hardly be sup' posed, although Mr. Gladstone has de clared in Parliament that " all previous arrangements must be recast." But if it should clearly appear that these assas sinations were made te defeat his policy, it is net possible that he will be ready te yield them this effect, if he can control the situation ; and the fact seems te be that they place it in his power mere completely than ever. The sympathy of both the English and Irish people who desire a peaceful settlement of their rela tiens will be aroused in behalf of his policy by their detestation of the crime resorted te by the enemies te break it down. Let it once be known that the assassinations were of Fenian origin, and Mr. Gladstone will have plain sailing for the policy he has undertaken. The out rage which was intended te defeat it will be its guarantee of successful trial. It is thought by some persons that the murders were by ltibbenmeu rather tha.i Fenians. The distinction between the two is, as we understand it, that the Fenians are for Irish independence and will be content with nothing less; while the Kibben societies have for their chief r.iin the extinction of British landlords. Their favorite weapon is assassination, while the Fenians claim te have no spe cial fondness for this resort. But still it may have recommended itself te them in this instance ;is an effective way te defeat a scheme of conciliation that bjded ill te Irish nationality. A Better 1'lan. Edward J. Phelps, Courtlandt Parker, William M. Evarts and llichard T. Mer rick are the four members of the Ameri can Bar association who propose te relieve the supreme court by dividing it into two or mere sections in hearing causes rather .than by creating subordinate courts with final jurisdiction in stipu lated cases, which is the plan preferred by some members of the committee and which is embodied in the bill new being pressed in the Senate by Judge Davis. The division of the court certainly has great advantages. It does net increase the number of judges or even of courts ; for it is proposed that all the decisions made by the different sections of the su preme court shall be adopted by the whole court, which is given the power te order a re-argument of cases before the full bench if it shall deem it advis able. It is necessary that the decisions should be rendered by the whole court, because the constitution requires that the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme court. The plan, as we understand it, is little mere than a permission granted te the supreme court te divide their body into two or mere parts and te distribute the cases en the docket for argument among these sections, reserving the power te accept or reverse their decision as seems proper te them. Practically under this system if there was net unanimity in the court a rcvirgument before the whole body would be secured ; but as the court is generally unanimous in its decisions the occasions when such rc-argument would be necessary would be comparatively few. There might be some risk that the decision rendered would be different from that which would be made if the cause was heard originally by the whole body; but the danger would, be slight, and would be almost nothing if the judges should be men of the ability that they should be te obtain their exalted places. At any rate the public damage would net be anything, since the deci sion of three men is just as likely te be correct as that of nine ; and it may ha even mere se. But it would work an injustice te suitors if they were net all permitted te get a decisen of their cases from the highest court. The plan of subordinate courts provides a high money value for cases appealed from them. It new re quires a disputed value of lye thousand dollars te get a case te the supreme court. The new plan would make it fif teen or twenty, and the supreme court would get te be one for the rich man only. The blonde field marshal is te be con tinued in command of the Republican forces. Gen. Beaver is said te be an ad mirer of any color se it's red. The Louisiana Heuse of Representa tives has adopted a resolution of thauks te the president and Congress for the prompt and liberal relief aflertled during the Mis sissippi overflow. Did any one iuquire for that Chester county hayseed gubernatorial canvass that, a few weeks age was making such a stir stir aeout, but which has gently aud gradu ally subsided under the benigi' reform-next-year dispensation ? When the intellectual person who has been compiling the rcpoilsef the ieraviau investigation for the associated press ob serves at the conclusion of Senater Blair's examination that the members of the coni ceni coni mittce "Congratulated themselves upon the termination of what has proved mere barren than profitable," he perpetrates an epigrammatic stroke that leaves his read cis in delightful bewilderment as te what was the subject of felicitation. The Yeung Men's Democratic associa tion of Philadelphia have passed a resolu tion thanking the Hen. Perry Belmont for his efforts " te compel Blaiue te testify fully as te his action in the negotiation connected with the Peruvian difliculties." The association furthermore declared that 'Mr. Blaine deserves te be universally con demned for his insolent disregard of pro priety aud gross discourtesy te Mr. Bel mont, who was acting in the strict per per feimauce of his official duty." Arnores the proposed change in the boss pregramme, which originally con templated making room for Welfe in to morrow's ticket, it is remarked by an es teemed and astute contemporary that while the oflice of attorney general is net as fruitful in opportunities as that of congressman-at-large, nor as consequential as that of lieutenant governor, it is vastly mero lucrative than cither, and te Welfe there would he an inherent pleasure in rotating Palmer out of a snug place that would compensate for material sacrifices of a transcendental character. The lottery mania is spreading with alarming rapidity in France. The Paris Figare even gees be far as te publish sori seri sori eusly a proposal for the steppage of ene franc per month from the salaries of all the empleyes in the posteffice and ether government or private administrations, in erder that all might participate in a monthly drawing or lottery. The French posteffice employs 160,000 persons, and consequently the ene franc a month would furnish four prizes of 40,000 francs a month, or one a week. Thcre is net a single empleye, according te the same paper, who would refuse te pay the small monthly contribution te obtain the chance of se large a profit, and te "previde he sides for the future of a family of work people." Akisteckacy in England is coming in every direction te grief. In addition te Lord Iluutly, we have another Scotch lord of ancient lineage, Lord Ituthvcu, in the bankruptcy court, who finds matters even harder te arrange.

At Ealing they will ask you if you will have a cup of milk from the Viscount's dairy," and at Uxbridge thcre is the nursery ground where a few mouths age you might have beheld a Scotch earl aud his wife and children weeding aud watering the vegetables for the Louden market. The carl is dead, aud his widow has been pensioned off by the purchaser of the ground. PERSONAL. TlIEODOUE H. SWEETSTKIt, 2 1 eiiliueilt lawyer and once a Democratic caui-date for governor, died yesterday at Uer-iji. The Democratic congressional conven tion of the seventh Indiana district, which met at Shelby ville yesterday, nominated Hen. William E. English by acclama tion. Mr. English is a son of lien. W. II, English. A niece of the Pepe, daughter of his bro ther, Count Camillie Pccci, is going te be married te the Marchcse Canali di Risti, and in addition te the apostolic blessing en her nuptials, his holiness also bestews many rich and solid gifts en the bride. Mrs. William Ress Bkewxe, a writer of verses that are described as sweet aud tender as her heart and face, has left for her lovely cottage at Vineyard Haven, which is rightly named "Summer Rest," for there amid trees and flowers and books a summer's rest is always found. Rumer whispers that Mr. Archibald Ferbes, the great English war correspond ent, who is a widower with three children. is enamored of a young lady whose voice is described as musical as the wind-harp, and whose talents and accomplishments are universally acknowledged and admired. Albert Operti has begun an action at New Yerk against Prang & Ce., oil pub lishers, of Bosten, for an alleged prize of 11,000, said te have been offered by Prang & Ce. for the best design for a Christmas card, Operti alleging that his design wen the prize, out of which he was defrauded. W. W. Story, the sculptor, who was designated by Congress te make a $15,000 statue in bronze of the late Professer Henry, writes from Reme stating that in censequence of a serious accident in the workshop of the bronze caster there will be a indefinite delay in the completion of the statue and that it may be necessary te mske a new casting. The statue was ex- jpected in Washington about the middle of tins month. Mrs. Fair, the wife of the popular Nevada senator, is of medium height, with a figure round and full, black waving nair, aaric eyes ana a round, fair face showing mere summers than winters. Her manners are cordial, frank and winning and her bearing is self-possessed and dig nified. She has a beautiful home in Vir ginia City and another in San Tranche, where she is loved and respected for her liree charities and her lovable personal qualities. The Fairs are famous for their hospitality at home and Mrs. Fair is sure te be as much in favor in Washington society as she is in that of her golden home. PEETTY JENNIE CEAMEK. TVHD OF COMPANY' AUD ADMlRATIOJf- The Life et the New Jlaien itcauty Before She rtl'.ln With the Malleys Whattbe LsitjerH Keek te Establish. When the body of Jennie Cramer was discovered by Uncle Asa Curtiss, the clam diggev, early en the morning cf August G last, in the waters of Leng Islaud Sound that skirt Savin Reck, it was attired iu clothes quite characteristic of the girl. The dress was of pure white, tastefully trimmed and cut low at the neck. Her hat was of the Gainsborough style turned back from the forehead aud embellished with feathers and flowers te add te its attrac tiveness. Her stockings were of iashion iashien iashion able hue and her shoes new aud of the best make. Around her neck was a double row of silver beads aud en her lingers were several rings, ene of thorn having a geld dollar pendant, ou which was engraved her initials. As scen a few days befere her death iu this costume Jennie looked very attractive, but did net give ene the im pression that she was possessed of an over abundance of modesty. It could be sceu at a glauce that she was fend et admira tion and an acquaintance could easily be formed. The girl was of striking type of beaut'. Her eyes were black, large and lustrous, with drooping, dark eyelashes. Her features were regular, the mouth par ticularly pretty, with bright red lips aud just a trifling inclination te pout. Her teeth were regular aud white aud her skin of a remarkable whiteness and purity. This gave credence te the report that she was an habitual arsenic cater, but these who kuew her in early childhood say that her skin was always white and clear. Her form was well rounded aud her carriage graceful. The girl had hosts of admirers aud at tracted the attention of young meu above her in social station. Though net possess ing mero than an ordinary education aud haviug no gift of conversation, she was fend of gaycty and at times vivacious. Her mother allowed her a wide latitude, much te her i eg rat, doubtless. She was taken from school at an early age, aud ler five years before her death her age then heiug twenty-one she had little te de but nurse her beauty aud receive the flattery of young men. She attended her father's cigar store suflicieutly te enable her te form au extcusive acquaintance with the youth of the city. Her facilities iu this regard were enlarged through the indul gence of her mother aud the sociability which prevails among the Germans. Mrs. Cramer accompanied her daughter te balls, seciables and picnics and frequently left her te he escorted home by a young man. At German dances aud seciables heie, as clscwheic, it is net ceusideied out of the way for young ladies te indulge in au oc casional glass of wine or beer, aud Jennie was no exception te the rule. She enjoyed a glass of cool lager after a waltz aud did net hesitate te drink it at the bar. At many of these German dances which she attended young men of the tewn'aud Yale students were frcquentcis, aud Jennie was an attraction for thorn. It is said that en mero than one occasion she had been seen smoking cigarettes surrounded by luale ad mirers in the refreshment room of the dance hall. This ficedem caused talk and all agree that the girl's training was un fortunate. In cress-examining Mrs. Cra mer the ether day en the witness stand, the lawyers for the defouse endeavored te show from her own lips that she was in dulgent in her control of Jennie, aud tel crated conduct that would he condemned by parents having a pieper comprehension of the rules of propriety. Admissions te this effect were skillfully drawn out aud will be used iu the summing up with the best possible effect en the jury. The theory of the prosecution is that Jonuie Cramer was first ruined and then poisoned by the Malleys and Blanche Douglass, the motive for the murder being a threat of prosecution of James Mai ley if he did net marry her. The de fense realize the importance of proving that the girl was unchaste befere associ ating se intimately with the Malleys aud Blanche Douglas. The latter, the prose cution claim, was brought herb te assist in the luiu of Jonuie, and thus the theory of the st.. te is a strong ene iu view of the character et Blanche. Detectives have bi-cn at work for a long time te obtain testimony rcgaidiug the chastity of Jen nie. Tite experienced lawyers for the defc n ,n fully aware that it would ruin lliei'- ise with a Yankee jury jury te ai' the dead girl's character witheu !- nlimr overwhelming proof of the cVvi.,. The point is au important one, yet i..- lingly delicate te handle. That the . i -iy of the defonse is new di rected Oxu i getting such proof, how ever, thcre is no doubt. A girl living a free aud easy sort of life, with hosts of male admirers, an indulgent mother, aud given te carriage riding and shore suppers, is bound te suffer somewhat iu reputation in any community ; but it is a fact that iu all that has been said aud doue since the discovery of the body of the dead girl, no ene has openly assailed her character as te chastity previous te her carousels with theMallcysand the New Yerk strumpet, Blauce Douglass. Iu her eighteenth year Jennie kept steady company with a young German barber of New Haven, te whom she seem ed devotedly attached. Fer twelve or fifteen months the twaiu were constantly together evenings and en fiue Sundays weut riding. It was supposed they were engaged te be married. Iuthe latter part of this intimacy Jennie went te New Yerk en a visit aud was absent several days. Ou her return her lever treated her quite coolly and finally the pair parted company and the friendship was never afterward rcuewed. Streng efforts have been made by agents for the dofeuse te induce this young man te explain why he se abruptly broke off with Jennie, hut, it is said, with out avail. He refuses te say anything mere than, se far as he kuew, Jennie was a geed girl, but strong-headed and fend of pleasure. Restored te the liar. Chief Justice Sharswood iu the supreme court yesterday reversed the decision of the Bucks county common picas in dis barring Henry Trumbore, a member of tue bar, ordered him reinstated and all the costs of the suit put upon the county. The chief justice in his opinion said: "The young man has had a severe lessen and he may yet hereafter redeem himself. He argued his case in person aud iu the course of it we had occasion te netice that though the records did net show that he had becu served with a copy of the fifth specification, of which default he might have availed himself, he declined te take advaulage of it, but frankly admitted service of a copy. Wc need net say that this regard for trutlx produced a very favorable impression en the court." Net This year. The beard of directors of the Cumber laud Valley campmeeting association at a meeting held en the ground of the associa tion, at which weie present the presiding elder and district steward, decided te held no campmeeting the present year. This was caused by a difference of opinion en the subject of open gates en Suuday. The ground will mero than likely be sold. Verdict Against a Milling Company. Gastave Pantzar, who sued the Tilly Fester iron mining company in the su preeo court at New Yerk for $30,000, yesterday recovered a verdict of $12,000 damages. He was injured by a fall of earth at the mines in Putney county te such an extent that his leg had te be amputated. GLADSTONE'S PLANS. A NEW FOUCT FORESHADOWED. The Queen Petitioned te DtaaelT Parliament aud Order a New Election many Clues te the Murderers Followed Up and One Arrest Made. Absorbing interest attached te the hr&t meeting of Parliament since the assassina tion. The arrival of the members was watched by a large crowd which vented its opinions in mingled groaning and cheer ing. Many members were mourning bands en their hats, and some of the ladies iu the members' lobby were also iu mourn ing. In the Heuse solemn stillness reigned. Mr. Gladstone, ou entering, was greeted with subdued applause, which he quietly acknowledged, and taking his seat he shaded his face with his hand. His seech was delivered with difficulty and was filled with halt ing sentences a most unusual thing for him. He was followed by Sir Stafferd Northcetc, Mr. Paruell, Mr. Ferster and Mr. Lewther. Mr. Ferster paid a tribute te the high character and ability of the murdered meu. There was an attempt en the opposition side te raise a hoot against Mr. Parnell, hut at the stem cry of "order '."from all parts of the house, it was instantly repressed. The proceedings lasted only twenty minutes aud were re markable for their impressive intensity. A great crowd gathered outside the Heuse at the opening of the session. Mr. Bright and Lord Sclbernc, en arriving, were received with mixed applause and groans. Mr. Gladstone was vigorously hooted iu Palace yard, as was also Mr. Bradlaugh, but Mr. Ferster was cheered. Every part of the Heuse was crowded. At twenty minutes p.i3t four o'clock Mr. Gladstone arose, and, with great emotion and in a tremulous voice, moved an ad journment of the Heuso. He said the black ness of the crime and the horror it ex cited throughout the entire kingdom were uuparallelcd. In the murder of Mr. Burke, he said, they, had been robbed of one of the ablest aud most upright mem bers of the civil sarviee ; but the baud of the assassin had ceme nearer home and one of tlie noblest of hearts had ceased beating while full of hope and leve for Ireland. As far as the government were concerned, said Mr. Gladstone, all previ ous arrangements must he recast. Mr. Gladstone stated that he would en Thurs day ask the Heusa for leave te inlroduce a measure for the repression of crime in Ireland. He said he bolievcd he would be assisted from all quarters of the Heuse. On an early day he would introduce a measure dealing with the question of ar rears of rent. The Heuse, after speeches from North Nerth North eotc, Paruell and Ferster, adjourned until Thursday. In the Heuse of Lords Earl Granville moved au adjournment until Tuesday. He deiivered an eulogy ou Lord Frederick Cavendish, who, he said, had suffered a shocking death, but .a glorious ene, for he had fallen in the service of his country. Lord Salisbury seconded the motieu. He remarked that, though this was net the occasion for political observations, he had no doubt the ceurse taken te-night would be only the prelude te stern and vigorous action. Earl Cooper expressed his sense of the irreparable less which the country had sustained. The Duke of Marlborough fully concurred in the sentiments express ed by Earl Cowper aud referred te the great services of Mr. Burke. Lord Car Car liugleu spoke in a similar strain. The Housu then adjourned. The Parnellitcs held a meeting aud pass cd a resolution in accordance with the manifesto issued by Messrs. Paruell, Dil Dil eon and Davitt, after which they immedi ately adjourned. Mr. Paruell appeared in the Heuse of Commens attired in mourn ing. Tracing the lied Car. Twe men named Courtney and McBride, in the employ of Mr. O'Neill, a sculptor, were returning from Mayuoeth with a dray at 8 o'clock ou Saturday night. When within ene mile aud a quarter of the village of Lucau, which is four miles from Dublin, ou the Chapelizod read, they met a red backed car with the horce bathed in sweat and galloping at a very rapid pace. Four men were ou the car aud appeared te be in a terrible state of excitement. They shouted te the driver of the dray, " Clear the read !" This he was unable te de in time, aud as the car pulled up te prevent a collision he had a geed leek at the men. One, mere excited than the rest, struck at him with a heavy stick. .He slashed in return with his whip. The man again aimed a blew, but a compauieu held his arm. The back of the car was by this time, past, ana the herse was again put te a gallop at a furious pace. Thcre was ue number en the car. A rumor was cur rent that the car driver had been found beyond Lucau with his threat cut, but thcre was no confirmation of the report given by the police. An Arrest. A man named Charles Moere was ar rested en suspicion at Mayuoeth. He had travoied by the four o'clock train from Dublin. He stated that he had intended te go te Longford, but, feeling ill, had taken a ticket for Mayuoeth. He almost fainted when he was arrested. He re turned from Amciica last Friday. He answers the description of ene of the murderers and lias marks ou his face aud wounds about his body. He was formerly in the army. Moere has been brought te Dublin for identification. It is reported that auethcr arrest has becu effected at Kildare. Au American who visited the sccne of the murder scru tinized the foetpiints around the spot, and distinctly recognized marks of the peculiar broad-teed beet commonly worn by Irish Americans. It is stated that a few days age Mr. Burke received a letter warning him that if he did net at encj fellow the example of Mr. Ferster and clear out of the castle he would have only three days te live. Asking for a New Parliament. The St. James Gazette says that a requi sition has been made te the lord mayor of Londen te call a meeting in Guildhall te petition the queen te disselve Parliament en the ground of belief that many Liberals aud Conservatives desire te elect auethcr Parliament te deal mero successfully with the reign of murder in Ireland. t Iturned Herself te Death. At HunimclstewH, Dauphin county, Mrs. Mary Blessing, aged 72, and partially demented, while the family were attending Sunday school locked all the doers and windows aud removing all her clothing, piled them en the fleer, set fire te them and then deliberately sat down en the flames. Exactly hew long she remained in this position is net known, but she was found te be horribly burned, though still conscious. The greater part of her body was burned te a crisp. Death ensued about live hours afterward. Infernal Machines In the West. Twe attempts have recently been made te blew up buildings in Northfield, Minn., by means of infernal machines. About two weeks age an attempt was made te blew up a public hall, in which there was gathered a large audience, butthomachiue missed fire. Last Saturday evening a box was exploded in the bascment of a build ing occupied by a doctor's office, wrecking the buildinc, but no person was injured. The citizens believe the recent troubles with the Jamts and Younger brothers have something te de with the matter. a A Jury Falls te Agree. The jury in the case of Emmet Claude, colored, en trial in the Southampton, Vir ginia. COnntV COnrt. far thn r.MrHn nffnn white men, were discharged yesterday for I failure te agree. ' CAMKKOnM CONVENTION. TheSitaatloaatHarrlsbersLast NlgHt. This Berniag's advices from the state capital where the Republican clans are gathering in anticipation of te-morrow's convention, indicate the nomination of General Beaver te-morrow y ba practically unanimous vote. The opposition is unable te make even a respectable dress parade, and it is probable that Farmer Butler will retreat without a battle. The nomination of Senater Davies for lieutenant governor is conceded and it will be made by acclamation. There will be a desperate struggle made te defeat Rawle, but Quay, who has been en the ground all day and night, confi dentially predicts Rawle's success. The lack el concentration against Sen Sen aeor Greer, the originally slated caudidate for secretary of internal affairs, premises him an easy victory, although his office is tee far down en the list te make any man safe. Souater Camcreu had decided te entrust the management of the convention te his lieutenants, Quay, Rutan and Magce, but the Welfe complication has compelled him te appear ou the field and take command in person. He doesn't seem te have fully decided whether he will crucify Wolf in the convention or nominate him and let him be crucicfied in November. CltlAIK AN 11 CASUALTY. A Jtutlgct ,r Tragic Happenings. Mrs. Geerge Lawrcnce yesterday com mitted suicide at Skancateles, N. Y., by sheeting herself.

An Early Moraine Blase en Water Street That Entailed 05,000 Less The family's Narrow Escape. About 1 o'clock this morning the ex tensive butchering and meat curing es tablishment of Henry Deerr, Ne. 113 North Water street, was discovered te be en fire. An alarm was first struck from box 2G, corner Market and Chestnut streets, and almost immediately after wards from box 1G, corner West King aud Water. Mr. Deerr and his family were fast asleep iu their beds' (the family residence adjoining the market) aud it was with seme difficulty that they escaped from the burning build ing. The firemen promptly responded te the alarm, and although the situation of the lire made it difficult for tbcm te get at the flames, they worked with a will and at last get the tire under control. It is net kuewu exactly hew the fire originated, hut it is supposed te have been caused by some meat or fat catching fire iu the smeke beuse, which adjoins a large room, seme 25 feet wide by 10 feet long, used for preparing slaughtered meats for market. This room contained a large number of valuable machines for cuttingand stuffing sausages and puddings, all of which were worked by steam, also large vats for rendering lard aud tallow, aud much ether valuable property, includ ing the boiler used for mnning the engine, some parts of a new ongine which was te have been put up te-day, aud the tools of the workmen who were engaged te set up the engine. It also contained an immense amount of cured and fresh meats net less than $70 worth of sausages and puddings haviug been made yesterday all of which were destroy ed. Adjoining this room ou the south is the engine room which also contains a number of choppers and ether machinery, none of which were seriously damaged. Adjoining the large room ou the east, aud fronting en Water street are the sales room and the ware room, stored with from $1,000 te $2,000 worth of fresh and cured meats. The -interior of the se rooms were entirely burned out -and their contents almost entirely destroyed. It was a sad sight te sec se many hundred plump hams, tongues, rounds of beef, bologna and ether sausages, lying charred among ether debris or hanging burned te a crisp en their hooks. Mr. Decrr's dwelling heuse adjeius the meat market, aud is connected with it en the south. It has net suffered much from fire, but the dcuse volumes of smeke from the burning meats entered every room from top te bottom, discoloring the paint aud paper and making the whole building smell like asmoke-heuse. It will probably have te be repainted aud papered throughout. Mr. Deerr has au iusurance with Mr. J. U. Ostcrmaycref $10,000 en that part of the premises including the residence, sales room and ware-room, which will much mere thau cover the less ; but uufortuu uufertuu atcly he has ue insurance en that part in cluding the large room containing the most of his machinery, boiler, meat vats aud ether apparatus. His less in this room alone will perhaps reach $2,000. The less en the ether portions of the building and their contents may reach (3,000 mere. The books, papers, &c, were locked up in afire-proof safe and escaped damage. The firemen deserve unstinted praise for the active and intelligent manner in which they did their work. Mr.. Deerr speaks in the highest terms of them ; and also of the valuable services rendered by his neighbors and friends during the fire. Chief Engineer Hewell made a narrow escape with his life while superintending operations. He stepped upon a rear bal cony, which was se much burned that the flooring broke beneath him, and he would have fallen through into the fire had he net succeeded in catching the ratling and thus saving himself. THE AUDITORS. 1 xamluatlen of Justice Grier, of Columbia. The county auditors reassembled at 10 o'clock this morning and examined W. Hayes Gricr, justice of tbe peace of the Second ward, Columbia. After answering negatively the five questions asked the ether aldermen and justices, 'Squire Grier made a statement te the effect that he was elected justice of the peace iu c ebruary and entered upon his duties May 2, 1831, at which time he asked the advice of men old iu the busi ness as te the proper way of discharging his duties, aud he followed the advice given by them as nearly as he could. If errors were committed they were of the head aud net of the heart. Any mistakes made by him he was perfectly willing te be subcharged with. Mr. Greider stated that the bills presen ted by Squire Grier had disposed of 369 cases since May last, at a cost te the coun ty of $028.18 for justices' fees and $347.72 for constables' fees. During that time Constable Fisher had made 180 complaints, High Constable Stawbridge G4, Constable Lyle 3 and Coustable Stuck 2. He asked the justice whether these officers were net professional complaint makers. Squire Grier replied that the business of the constables was te make complaints when they saw anything wrong. When asked why the cases were se gen erally dismissed when the constables were complainants, heanswcrdthatjusticosheuld be tempered with mercy. Sometimes the offender was a married mau with a family dependent for support ; he frequently discharged such cases. He said he never issued warrants in blank ; entered suits iu his docket as seen as they were brought. When asked whether a great many of these cases were net persons who were be lated aud spent the night in the station heuse, he answered, net te his knewl-de. When an officer made complaint befere him he accepted it without question, but if a private citizen made complaint he frequently inquired into tbe matter and declined te receive them if he thought them without foundation, and the com plainant would go te seme ether justice where their complaints were accepted. The squire's attention was next called te subpeunas issued te constables who arc prosecutors, te subpoena themselves, aud charging 27 cents each for the same. The 'snuire answered that in the early part of his career he had issued such subpoenas, but when he learned that it was net right he stepped it. Anether Fair in Prospect.
