The foe had been lighted only about two hours ; and. aeedrding to the statement of the engineer, there was plenty of water, but as the supply of coal lad been exhausted. very little fire_ When the RY. plosion occurred he' hadjust come from the boiler room into the basement of the building, and was as cending the stairs to the first story, when, by the force of the concussion, he was thrown down anti tumbled to the foot of the stairs again: The shock was very great.

FOOLISH RUMORS.- - Yesterday afternoon a rumor Was set afloat, which, like a rolling snowball, gained dimensions as it proceeded. It was to the effect that errors had been discovered in the count ing, and defective ballots rejected, and that the canvass would prove Mr_ Gunther to have been elected. These reports came to our ears early in the day, but having already informed ourselves of the true state of the case, we did not deem it worth while to alarm the public by the publication of them. day attempt at fraud would prove fatal to the =a by whom it should be made The awarding of a certificate to Mr. Gunther, under the circum stances, would dirguat the people more than the narrowest partisan ended. There is r 011.4011 to believe that those now eager to show that Mr. Gunther has been elected are secretly hostile to the Government, and in favor of the continued rule of Mozart Hall. It is giving almost too much prominence to the rumors to disprove them. But tfie friends of purity of elections perhaps ought to receive some assu rance. There were three lists made of the votes given in every election district of the city—one for the Pollee Board, one for the Trsbaae, and one for Mfr. Opdyite. These nearly agree. They were signed and certified by the canvassers and clerks. Besides, there were lists kept for other morning papers. efw.ely approximating these figort:s, and rendering the fiaudulent attempt to count 31r. Gunther in abortive.
