TII.V. CITY.
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN SOUTHWARK.
rive Fires in One Block within Twenty-
roar Motors
THE NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPOSED
TO BE HAUNTED.
THE REAL CAUSE WILL PROBABLY BE
PYROMANIA
The Russian Plague may have alarmed many
of our citizens ; the delivery of - the Stonewall
excited them, the successful launch of the
Duralerberg gratified them ; but talk not of
any of thse things to the citizens of what was
once the glorious old District of Southwark.
Their hobby now is fire, the devil, ghosts,
haunted houses ; in fact, anything that bears
upon the supernatural. We are led to these
remarks by a terrible excitement prevailing
in Reckless street. This is a singular name
for a street, but we shall not be reckless in our
remarks, rather confining oursolvcs strictly
Many years ago therp was a gentleman
named Samuel Reckless opened a grocery
store in the old district of Southwark, and, by
strict attention to business, courtesy to pa
irons, and liberal advertisements, soon semi-
TM - dated swilietent money to build houses. He
subsequently retired to a farm in Ducks
county, but before leaving the city the Street
upon which his houses were erected was called
after him. Reckless street runs from Front to
Otsego, north of Washington avenue, in what
is now the Second ward. Small three-story
houses are built on each side of the street,
na i l arc occupied by a very worthy class of
persons, - Wile are engaged in the pursuits of
rigging, painting, and other branelleS of honest
industry. All went along smoothly in Reck
less street np to four o'clock on Saturday after
noon, and since then no mace of mind hiss for
a moment bees participated in by any of the
residents.
Among Those who reside in the street is Mr:
Samuel Wilson, his house being numbered
eight ; hut he and his tinnily have been in the
country for some weeks, and the house has
been closed told in the care of a relative, who
lives opposite. Last Saturday week Mr. Wil
son left, shutting up his house securely, and
about three hours afterwards the relative who
had charge of the premises went over to see
if an - was right, when he was surprised at
lintling the house had been entered front a
three-story back window, which leads on to a
- tat, and various acts of mischief bad been
committed, such as cutting up a hat and a
bonnet and tearing some wearing apparel into
shreds. The house was securely closed, and
nothing more was noticed wrong about it until
last Saturday afternoon, at four o'clock, when
,moke was seen issuing from it. The neigh
bors rushed in and discovered a lot of clothing
on lire in the third-story back room. The
Mantes were quickly extinguished by them
and a few firemen who happened to be in the
vicinity. A number of matches were found
upon the floor and the window-sill. -
eisaminatiou showed that the matches had
evidently been communicated to the clothing
through a broken pane of glass, there being
no shutters; and the sash being securely fas
tened. The flames were extinguished with
but trilling damage, and peace reigned in the
neighborhood.
On Sunday, at noon, fire was discovered in
the building situated oil theeast, numbered 0,
and occupied by George Rusk. The list we
have before alluded to is a continuous one, ex
tending the entire length of the row. It was
discovered that from this that a quantity of
coat oil had been poured upon the shingles of
it and the Sill of the window, and then set on
fire. The sill was burned to a considerable
depth, and the sash hail beeOlne ignited, the
heat breaking the glass when the fire was
discovered. The neighbors again rallied and
checked the - Raines as they were entering the
room.
Women generally can talk, but just stir up
a series of fires around them, aald the dames
of Southwark can let loose the tongue, and
give vent to their feelings. Some said the
devil was in the street, while others as firmly
maintained that ghosts were prowling about
the row of houses.
In half an hour, and before the good ladies
had Commenced to end-.their discussion, a fire
was discovered in the second story fron t /
the same building, the room being °cabled
by Charles F. Bute; a returned sold t, An
examination revealed the fact the! . 'a
: \idy,
which was placed upon the back of aCantest
chair, bad been set on fire. The fi:imes (A m _
umnicated with the cane, which bUrteit
quickly and spread to a bedstead and a Chair
near it, upon which was some eli thing. This ,
fire was also promptly extinguished; and now 1
the men took the alarm, and they joined in
with the women to ascertain the meaning of it
all tio one thought of preparing meals, gels' g
to church, or of any thing but the tires, and
they sorely tried their brains to arrive at the
cause of them.
Thus things continued until half past three
o'clock Sunday afternoon, when smoke was
discovered issuing from the loft of house No.
4, occupied by a sailor, named William Oliver,
and one of the heroes of Fort Fisher. These
lenges arc so constructed that there is no par
tition between the lofts of any of them, and
by standing in the Inft at one end of the row,
you can see through to the other end. The lire.
men came upon the ground in large numbers,
and commenced cutting the roofs in various
places. They finally discovered that some
rags had been fired in Mr. Oliver's loft. The
whole fire was not more than the size of a.
Man's hat, and, when discovered, was promptly
extinguished. The smoke, however, extend
ing throughout all the lofts, created a.great
panic among the minds of the people, whose
feelings were already highly wrought upon.
All manner of rumors were, circulated, and
the people in the upper wards heard that the
Cooper-Shop FMPion, Navy Yard, and other
places, had been burned.
During this excitement, Mr. WllBOll,lOlO had
been apprised of the occurrences at his house,
arrived home with his family from the coun
try, and took possession of their domicile. A
few minutes after they had made themselves
comfortable, a fire was discovered in the third
story of their house. An examination showed
that some ladies' wearing apparel hanging On
the wall had been fired through the same win
dow previously referred to. Thus, the neigh
bors of Reckless street had five distinct fires
in the space of twenty-four hours, all evidently
the work of design, and no one to account for
the originator of them.
Fire Ifinrshal Blackburn soon arrived at the
place mat comineneed an examination of tile
circumstances. He quieted the fears of the
residents, and to his skill we will leavc the
thorough elucidation of the mystery.
Without expressing nay opinion as to the
Origin of the above fires, it may be of interest
to allude to some cases Where fires have oe-
GUrred in an apparently unaccountable man-
A Michigan paper not long since contained
an account of a series of fires that had occurred
in a building while a number of neighbors were
present, and wound up the article by saying
that if they had a smart detective there, no
doubt the origin of the fires would be dis
covered. This is just the true way of setting
down the Case ; and our city is blessed with;;
fire marshal who is unusually accomplished in
his business. We will give in brief a few cases
that he has examined into. In one instance a
small colored girl was bound out from the
almshouse to a lady who frequently saw her
kindling fires about the yard and cellar, and
punished her for it. The officials were not no
tified of these occurrences until upon one oc
casion, vhile a corpse was in the house, a fire
was discovered in the cell ar,having been built
with a large basket, of kindling wood against a
coal bin. Upon the occupants attempting to
get to the Cellar they found the door leading
thereto was tied securely with a rope. Fire
blarsbal Blackburn was now notified, and upon
questioning the family heard of the fires before
kindled, and of the excited character of the
child whenever a tire-endue would pass the
house. No matter what h e was engaged at
she would drop it and rash after the engine,
The child was taken. from the house and pro
perly eared for.
Another case was that of a number of fires
being discovered in a house. The Fire - Marshal
ices notified of it, and upon investigation a
fire in a cellar, a bright little girl seemed
anxious to give him information. She said an
old colored man had been cutting. wood, and,
as he smOked a pipe, the wOOd must have ig
n lied from it. The little girl left the Cellar
while the Marshal wt - as making his investiga
-1 ion, and, in a few minutes, a great uproar was
- ten❑ni up stairs. Upon ascendi
13;., to the third
story, a quantity of WOllltil'S wearing apparel
was discovered on tire, and now the Fire .Afar.
slid], WllO had already suspected the child, had
his suspicions folly confirmed. A gentleman,
vim was sick in the room opposite to that in
I:bieb the fire was discovered, said the child
brought some wood into his room, and then
pask,,m to the other room, and upon coming
out closed the door. A fcwminutcs afterwards
he saw the smoke. We might cite a number
of similar eases, but the above are sufficient
for the present. This disease in children was
formerly called monomania, but physicians
and moral writers have of late years called it
by the more appropriate name of pyromania.
They attribute the disease, if it may so be
called, to a lack of moro.l sense; the children
not being able to discriminate between right
to
wrong, the evil propensity tending t
wards fires, as, in some instances, it does
towards stealing.
It puzzles our authorities to properly dis
pose of these children. This community
would be shocked to hear of small children
being sent to separate and solitary con a nm _
meat, at liftrinallor, in the Eastern Peniteia
tiary. Why not scud them to the House o f
Refuge 7 say some. The managers of that institu.
tion will not rev.ive any children charged with
arson. Their woistiope would not be safe with
such children ; hence the necessity of a passage
of a rule forbidding their entrance. We have no
House of Correction in this goodly City where
such cases could be properly cared for. His
Honor the Mayor, is thus placed in an unplea
sant position oftentimes, and must work out
I he menus toe heir disposition as best he mit.
To hand them over to their parents would in
many instances he of no avail, as some of them
will not believe their children ever did seal
things. They are, tinnily, properly cared for
until some Unman° persons thoroughly
ap
prised of their mania take them, and often
they forget their past acts, and become exeei
lent citizens and are an ornament to society .
Such is the humanity of the nineteenth centu.
ry at present, and while noble men continue
in office it will gradually be improved upon.
THE COMING PARADE OF THE FIRE DE_
PARTIAIMT.—A the company has recently been
organized - hi Washington, D. C., under the
"name, style, and title , ' of "The Northern
Liberties' Fire AsSociation." The Washington
Chronicle thus refers to the subject:

members comprising 'the United States Fire
Brigade, and to Chief Engineer Sessford, and.
the of each company of the lilashing

them in the said visit to the City of Brotherly
Love.
A magnificent silver-mounted Mount Ver
non Came has been nianufauturea to order, for
three members of the association, as a present
to Samuel S. Armstrong, Esrl., a very promi
nent lirentan. of Philadelphia. The wood was
procured at Blount Vernon, near the tomb of
the immortal Washington. The head of the
cane is elaborately chased, with a handsomely
engraved shield, containing the following in
scription ; " Bresented to S. S. Armstrong, of
Thiladelphia, by Benjamin Rainier, Charles
Matlock. and 11 - . 13. Curtis, Of. Washington,
D. C.,7
To further enhance the friendship long ex
isting between Samuel S. Armstrong and Ben
jamin Rainier, the latter gentleman has made
and had framed and encased a handsome ten
cornered star of the remnants of the materials
used in constructing the burial case of our late
martyr President, Abraham Lincoln, consist
ing of a star six inches in diameter, set upon a
black cloth background, the cloth being a por
tion of the covering of the uoilln, decorated
with black and white imp, silk fringe, silver
lace, &c. This star, of black walnut used in
the construction of the case, is surmounted
with a four-inch mahogany one, neatly orna
inenfed with silver tacks, and the centre of
which is inlaid with a handsome medallion
likeness of our late President.
A special meeting of Councils was held yea
terday afternoon, at which the following busi
ness was transacted:

The roll was called, and but nine members
answered. The Council adjourned for want Of
a quorum, without taking any action on.the
bills.
The articles composing this present were
kindly furnished by William Harvey,. Esq.,
- andeltaker, to Mr. Rainier. This relic has
been greatly admired by all who have seen it,
and reflects much credit upon the designer.
It and the cane eau be seen for a few days at
the headquarters of the N. L. P. Association,
452 G street north, as they will shortly be de-
Spate - Ma 011 to Mr. Armstrong.
YOUNG A3IERICA ON A VOYAGE.—On
Sunday two boys procured a boat and con
structed a sail, which, although not neat in
aPPearance, was sufficient to waft the boat
over the Schuylkill at a rate they did not ap
preciate. The first thing that the youthful
navigators knew was the boat pitching over
the dam at Fairmount. Mr. Nelson Hughes,
one of the engineers at the Water Works, pro
cured a skiff, and succeeded in placing the
boys on a rock. The Park Police came to the
rescue and took them from their refuge. The
boys got an elegant shower-bath while under
the dam, and their boat was badly broken.

- Taylor completed the inquest yesterday
in the ease of Sophia Hitter, tile young girl

nia Railway Company; on the 19th inst. The
jury rendered a verdict that she came to her
death by being struck with a car which was

The CHAIR presented a commilnication from
the Chief Engineer and Surveyor, setting forth
that a number of bridges were carried away
by the late freshet. It will require $25,000 to

put the Penrose Ferry bridge in good condi
tion, and that it will need $7,500 to repair the
ailltid Avenue brillge.
lr. P.a.ki.v, Chairman of the Committee on
Highways, presented a bill making an appro
priation of $55,000 for the purpose of repairing
the bridges.
Mr. Beam suggested that a special commit
tee be appointed to consider the Penrose Ferry
bridge. Enough money had already been ex-
Penned upon it.
Mr. MAIWBR moved to strike out $B2OOO anti
insert *35 000 as follows ; For the WiA4nhiekOn.

bridge VORA
Considerable discussion ensued relative to
the Penrose Ferry Bridge, some members con
tending that it never was of use, and unless it
was thoroughly rebuilt it would always be a
drain upon the public treasury. The mem
bers from the southern section of the city :
urged that market folks used the bridge, and
as long as it was 011 t of repair they had to go
a long distance around. Other members con
tended that the Chief Engineer was worthy of
all confidence, and if 00,000 were given hhn
he would make a substantial structure of the
Penrose Bridge.
The motion of Mr. Mercer was not agreed
to, and the bill was referred to the Committee
on Surveys-

Recorder. Well, Peter, what have you to say I
Peter. Some of that is true, and some ain't.
Recorder. Well, which is true, and which is
not?
Peter. That's to be found ont, sir.
This ended the conversation, and Peter was
committed to prison. His partners in crime
have not yet been. arrested.
Last evening a gray-haired and bald-beaded
Irishman was before the Recorder on the
charge of insulting females, both old and
young, in Washington Square. Several citi
zens testified that the old man drove.the ladies
from their seats. Reserves Findley and [less
corroborated the statement. The Recorder
asked the priponer his name, when he said it
was John Smith, and continued to say that he
knew all about the law of this country 2 and.
nothing could be done with him. John missed
it for once, as he was sent to Dloyamensing,
and that certainly amounts to something.
RIVER 'PIRATES.
At 3 o'clock yesterday morning, one of the
boats of the harbor Police glided quickly
around the stern of an English vessel on the
Delaware and hailed her. A response came
instantly, but the police-boys were already.
alongside. A small boat was lying by the side of
the vessel and in it was large a bag of sugar.
The boat and contents were seized and the ves
sel boarded when another formidable bag was
discovered on the deck ready slung to be
lowered into the boat. The first mate was
discovered and the owner Of the boat. A hogs
head of sugar, in the vessel's hold, bad been
broken into and the sugar taken from it. The
owner of the boat says he bought the sugar
from the mate. As the Harbor Police do not
do things by halves they arrested the mate,
the boat and owner, the sugar, and the money.
A hearing will be had to-day.
[Before Mr. Alderman Godbon.]
Two men calling themselves Patrick Carroll
and Joseph Kelley, were committed by Alder-
Man Godbou, yesterday, upon the charge of at
tempting to rob a soldier. The latter testifiedk
that he had seen the two rob one soldier, and
was on his guard when they attempted the
same game on him, and had them arrested.
A German woman who was quietly looking
at the return of the German societies on
Saturday night, Mit a hand in her pocket, and
gave chase to the owner of the digits. , A long
chase ensued, but Mrs. Sneitzer got: hold of the
extremetics of the thief's coat. She held on,
and so did the coat-tail; and finally, a police-
man came up, and found the German lady's
purse in the pocket of the thief, who gave thq
name of George Carter. AldermaniGodnon sent
George to Moyamensing.
[Before Mr. Mclennan Mettler.)
NULLS! COMMITTED.
August Johns, who was arrested a short time
since for having disposed of some silver ware,
was fully committed yesterday, for having in
his possession stolen goods, knowing them to
have been stolen.
.Terry Donavan was before Aldermanßattler
yesterday, on the charge of stealing, *2OO from
an °Meer m the United States army, named J.
G. Cooper. The latter, it seems,was asleep on
a step in Market street, above Eighth, and,
upon being aroused, found Jerry near him. As
soon as the officer felt for his money Jerry ran,
and was arrested in a house near by. lie was
fully committed.
David Sharp (white), and John Tyler (black),
were before Ald. Toland yesterday, charged
with being in a serious Barmy the previous
evening, at Fifth and Poplar streets. It seems
three whites and two blacks had a disturbance,
when one of the latter fired a pistol at what he
chared the assaulting party. Both parties
fought well, but the alderman committed the
parties who were arrested in default of $l,OOO,
to answer at court.
['Before Mr. Alderman Ramsdell.]
SOUTH CAROLINIAN IN Tito-nap%
Sydney Kelley, a colored soldier, claiming
South Carolina as his place of nativity, was
committed yesterday by Alderman Ramsdell
to answer the charge of robbing a fellow-sol
dier of seventeen dollars.
Nearly every night some soldier is robbed
along Delaware avenue, notwithstanding the
most strenuous exertions made to prevent it
by the police. The plan resorted to by the
thieves is to drug the soldiers, who slip ok and
lay about in wood and lumber piles. Of course,
one of the thieves keeps watch upon the place
selected as a bed, and when the proper time
arrives they rob the senseless soldier. On
Sunday evening a soldier was robbed of VW,
nothing being left in his pockets but thirty
cents. Officer Lister, of theHartior Police, sub
sequently discovered another soldier asleep
in a wood yard, and took him to the station
house, where $144 was found on him. It was
restored to him when he became sober, and he
went on his way rejoicing.
Patrick O'Neil James Foley, and Matthew
McDonald, who 'have been or are soldiers,
went into the vicinity of Seventh and Oxford
streets, on Sunday, and commenced beating
all the colored persons who passed by. The
police promptly arrested them, and Alderman
Fitch committed the trio to prison to answer.
(Before Mr. Alderman Tittermary.]
JUSTICE SLOW, BUT SURE.
About three months since an onlcer of the
United States army was assaulted in the vi
cinity of Camp Cadwalader, and robbed of his
revolver and $l3OO. Several parties were ar
rested, but could not be identified and were
discharged. Officer llcEffee, of the Second
district, received some information that led
him to arrest .Jos, Duffy as one of the high
waymen, and upon searching, the officer's re
volver. was found upon him. Duffy was fully
committed to answer.
[Before Mr. Alderman Shoemaker.]
SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS.
In consequence of suspicious characters
having been seen prowling about the Seven
teenth ward, Lieutenant Spear gave orders to
have all such brought in: On- Sunday evening
John Milligan, James O'Brien, and Robert
Riley, who hail from New York, were arrested,
and some burglars , tools found upon them.
They were all sent below by Alderman. Shoe
maker.
On Sunday evening a noisy disturbance oc
curred in Lithgow street, below Thompson,
between a man and his wife. Officer Jas. Her
berson started towards the place, and before
he reached it he was felled to the earth by a
club, and badly kicked by some unknown per
sons. Mr. EarberSoll had his cheek-bone
broken, his eye cut, and was otherwise badly
injured. •
John P. Harris, who is a wounded soldier at
one of the hospitals in the outer districts, at
tempted to cross a farm near the line of 'Mont
gomery and Philadelphia counties on Sunday.
Re WaS attached, as he alleges, by Christian,.
Jackson, and Edwin Fisher with pitch-forks
and stones, and finally was shot in the bead by
Edwin Fisher. Alderman Thomas held Chris
tian in VASA Jackson in $1,500, and Edwin in
$2,000 bail to answer the charge of assault and
battery with intent to kill.
The Fishers subsequently preferred a simi
lar charge aainst the soldier, who was com
mitted by Alderman Good in default of $l,OOO
bail.
