The manner of the escape is somwhat involved in mystery. It appears, however, that the ball and chain attached to his leg were sawed off by some means, and, forcing the iron bars of one of the windows of the guards, he either precipitated himself into the moat and swam out of the tide gates, or else scaled the parapet and thus made his escape from in side the fort.

It seems that about eight years ago a German who lived on Rocky Hill found in a quarry on his premises what he sup posed to be gold. The same substance is found in almost every deep well about Frankford, and is a species of iron ore somewhat resembling isinglass. The German was not aware of that fact, and being highly elated at his supposed good luck, sent some of the article to the city, but of course, get nothing for it. Subsequently he moved away aad then told some of his friends about his discovery of gold. He said that he had collected a sufficient quantity to fill a barrel and cheese box and and that he had buried it in the cellar un der the stairway. A good thing was anticipated. The Ger man was cajoled and flattered, and-every thing was done to keep him in a good hu mor, but he would never reveal the location of the house on which the bright hopes of the party centred. Finally it was con cludeid to make an endeavor to find the place. On Thursday last several indivi duals drove out to FrankfOrd in a wagon, and commenced making inquiries among the different farm houses. This caused quite a commotion. Success came at last. The house was found. It is now inhabited by an Irish man. The case was Stated as lightly as possible, but the occupant refused to allow any digging. Persuasion was of no use. Threats were then used. These were of no avail. The Irishman was inexorable. Then offers to share the spoils were made, but he thought that if there was anything in his house he had the best right to it. Lieut. Street of the Police force was then appealed tp. He went to the house but the Irishman was not to be moved from his po sition. The next morning a warrant for his arrest on the charge of ha,ving valuables unlawfully concealed upon his premises was procured and he was taken into custody. A hearing was had before Aid. Holme. The German who started the story, was ex amined. He said that the stuff found by him was nothing but isinglass, and he had told the gold story for sport. The Irishman was thereupon discharged. Hispersecutors did not give it up yet. On Saturday night they went out in a wagon with shovels, but the weather interfered with operations. The work was postponed until last night,'and about ten o'clock the "diggers" called for their shovels, but Lieut. Street was notified and took a squad of men to the house to pre vent violence. The anxious party, how ever, did not appear. The excitement still continues, and. we understand that the po lice intend to dig for the purpose of ascer taining whether there is really anything concealed in the cellar. FIREMEN'S FlGHT.—Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, there was a false alarm of fire in a southeasterly di rection.. As the firemen were returning the members or adherents of the Weccacoe En-' gine and Shiffier and Niagara Hose Compa nies, got into a row at Second and Reed streets. Pistols are said to have been fired, but, as far as ascertained no person was in jured. A running fight was kept up along Second street, and bricks and other missiles were used. At Queen street things began to look serious, and the Second District police inteifered. Several of the alleged ; rioters were arrested. The prisoners were arraigned before Alderman rsittermary and 2111 k, DAILY EVENING :BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, APRIL 9. 1866. gave their names'as Wrn. H. Lee, Thos..l o . Hoy, Win.
