The Baltimore American ot yesterday says
On Saturday night, a fovr moments aftor 9
o’clock, flames and em»ke were seen issulngfrom
mo houM No. 14 McClellan’s alley, about haif
wov between Baltimore and Fayette streets. The
burning house was a very old structure. When
first built It was known as the York Bond Hotel.
Tt was a brick' structure, three stories high In
front with a two-story back building. When
the Fire Department arrived at the eceno tho
flames had already made considerable headway.
AS soon as a half dozen wit directed streams of
water were thrown uDptfihG flames, they were
got undeAontrtrrrand before 10 o’docknn
occasionalpntbursTaloneshowed tbattho con
flagraUon had not bben utterly quenched. AJIO
o’clock there were about twenty ttromen inside of
the'bhrnlnar building.
Uoon the roof of the house on the south sldo
of No 14 were other firemen with hose, seeking
lor anv places where the flamcß were not
onenchcd. These latter observed the hanging
chimney to be in a very insecure condition and
already tottering, and they shouted to warn their
comrades of their danger. They had scarcely
called out to those below them when the noise of
their voices was drowned by the crash of falling
bricks and Umber, and the burning house became
amassof confused ruiuß. The huge chimney
swayed and fell lnwardp, and the Immense weight
of tbo bricks which composed It falling upon
the roof and floors of the building, crashed
them as if they were made of paper, and
carrying the wallß with them they wore plied up
into on# confused heap of bricks and charred and
smouldering timbers, from which tongues of fire
every now andthen flamed upwards. Nearly
every man who Wasin the building at the time ot
the failing of the wallß was precipitated down
ward into the celiar and hidden from 6lght and
hearing by the huge pile of ruins. The entire
front building fell in, there being scarcely a brick
left upon another above the first course of bricks
upon the ground floor.
TTTR KItLED AHI) WOUNDED.
The noise of the falling bniidiDg, the shower of
sparks that ascended from the burning ti-aber
and the avalanche of brickß which poured down
into the narrow alley for a few moments, drove
the firemen and policemen from the immediate
Vicinity, but they soon returned and began to
labor among the debris for tho recovery of the
bodleß of the dead and wounded. At first it was
anticipated that scarcely a man could have
escaped with his life; bnt as the masses of each
were delved among and one after another of the
missing men were exhumed alive, It was found
that the extent of the casualties had not been so
great as was first feared, ft was but slow pro
gress that was made in digging through tbo ruins,
and not until 6 o'clock on Sunday morning that
the last body was taken out.
At the moment before the falling of the chlm
ney. Mr. William C. Boss, Assistant Chief En
gineer of the Fire Department, was standing
upon one of the upper rungs of a ladder which |
was placed against the house on the south eldo
of No. 14. Seeing that the chimney was about to
fall he descended the ladder as quickly as possi
ble and ran to the opposite side of McClellan s al
ley, immediately in front of the burning building.
He stopped with his body close against an iron
railing, surmounted by sharp points, which ex
tended along the side walls of houses which front
on Baltimore street. At this moment the
chimney fell, and the front walla falling
in an immense pUe of bricks into
the allev, Mr. Boss was thrown with
tremendous force agaipst this railing and one of
tbc sharp points penetrated his left breast about
an inch below the nipple. The bricks and tim
ber which fell upon his limbs and the lower part
of his body crashed him severely and held him a
fast prisoner until rescued by some of the fire
men. He was carried into a tavern near by, that
being the nearest place where he could be placed,
and the aid of Doctors Tbeobad, Warren and
Bull procured. At a late hour last night he was
in a precarious condition, but not suffering
greatly, a stupor seeming to have set in.
James Mcßride was on the Becond floor
oi the building when it fell in. He was thrown
to the cellar and his neck broken by the violence
of the fall. Hlb body whb not recovered until
about five o’clock on Sunday morning.
THE DAMAGE TO rKOPBBTT.
The building in which the fire cangbt Is an en
tire min, together with all itß contents, the stock
and working materials of both cooper shop and
caTpcnter-ehop. -Tbodamagetothebulldlng and
its contents is placed at $7,000 in all, on which
neither Mr. Boyd nor Mr. Cook are said to have
any insurance.
CITY BULLETIN.
Want to be Policemen. —Tho Legislature
baying adjourned, and therefore all fears of the
passage of a Metropolitan Police bill being at an
end, the rush of “patriots” who want to be po
licemen, to the office of the Mayor has again be
came quite large. For several days past the pub
lic reception room has been pretty well filled
with these Individuals who desire to wear the
municipal 6tar and to pocket the cash of the tar
payers. If countenances are any Indication oi
character, the most of these office-seekers are not
the kind of persons a citizen would like to have
to protect him from assault and robbery.
TbUB tar the Mayor has not intimated
his Intention of making any immediate changes.
This delay cannot be understood by the fellows
who got sore throats by shouting for “Dan Fox”
last October. Weeks ago it was hinted that no
appointments except to fill vacancies would be
made until after the adiournment of the Legisla
ture. TJtis had the etfectof keeping away from
the office the applicants for places, and the Mayor
and his clerks cDjoyed a season of comparative
quietness, and those having business at the office
were able to transact it withoutany trouble. Now,
things have resumed the same condition
that they were in the first few weeks of the pres
ent administration. It is almost impossible to
get within balling distance of the clerks, and the
timo of the Mayor is principally occupied in re
ceiving visits from prominent Democratic poli
ticians, who desire to get plaeeß for their
friende. The Johnson men who have been de
capitated by Collector Henry D. Moore are also
swarming about the Mayor's office, urging their
claims for consideration in the appointments
which are expected soon to be made.
Mysterious. —A man was fonnd concealed un
der a pile of boards in a lumber yard at Beach
and Poplar streets, at a late hour on Saturday

but no cuts or other marks of violonce could be

ley took hold of him he, exclaimed, "I didn't do
it," and when ashed what he meant he replied
nothing. No explanation in regard to hlB condi

prison by Alderman Toland to await further de

Tbc Condition of Bishop Dnggan.
IFrom the Chicago Tribune of April 17.1
On Wednesday evening Biabop Duggan, whose
condition bad by no means improved, was re
moved by bis friends from bis residence and
taken to ’Bt. Louis, where it is hoped his health
may be restored.
It may not be out ot place to say that the
affairs of the dioceße are in rather an anomalous
condition. The Bishopric of Chicago is a corpo
ration created by an act of the Legislature.
There is no ecclesiastical authority to appoint an
administrator to manage the affairs of that cor
poration, so there can be legal transfer of
property or other like business performed. No
Bishop of Chicago can be appointed daring tho
lifetime of Bishop Duggan, unless he resign, and
be is not in a condition to do so, even if willing.
This circumstance odds additional embarrassment
to tho affair.

CHAMPION SAFES
New Yobk, April 10,1869-
Herbiso, Farrkl & Shhrmak, No. 251 Broad
way.
Gents : On the night of Uio 22d ult., our store,
"No: 20 Somh Btrcet, was entered, and a desporate
attempt made by burglars upon one of your safes
In onr counting-room.
Tbe key to the safe in which we kept our se
curities was locked Inside of our firo-proof book
rafe, tbe doors of which wero literalljr cut to
pieces; from this they obtained thbkov to the
other safe and opened it. Fortunately we had One
of yonr Burglar-Proof Bankers’ Chests Inside, In
which onr valuables were deposited. This they
went to work at with a will, anil evidently used
up all their time and tools In vain attempts to
force It. The night was dark and stormy, and
ihe fact of their knownlg where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well ma
tured. They tried wedging the door ond body of
the Chest, and the faithful safe,bears evidence of
tbe labor and skill devoted to tho work. AU wns
useless, and It is with great sotlsfactlon we report
that upon opening It we fonnd our. securities all
ta fe, and can therefore cheerfully indorse the
Burglar-Proof work recommended by yon.
Ton will please send the new safe purchased by
us to our counting-house, and take the Old One
to show that some safes ere still manufactured
worthy of the name. ® AVII>^°T B *; ■
