Ox Monday of Inst week a fire broke ' out In nn upper room of the Patent offlce, which resulted In the destruction of the valuable models and records of the office. The land office was nlso damaged and many valuable pripers Were wet and destroyed. It Is feared the fire will cause much trouble and expen sive litigation. The fire is supposed to have originated from a defective flue. The loss is variously estimated at from 5300,000 to $700,000. - John S. Morton, President of the Market Street Passenger Railway Com pany, In Philadelphia, has confessed to having over-issued the stock of that company to the amount of 10,000 shares, or $1,000,000. He has resigned his posi tion as President of the road, and prom ises to make a full confession as to the amount of the fraud. The over issue was commenced in 1870, and lias been going on ever since. The present treasurer of the West Philadelphia passenger railway compa ny says the examination of the stock book of the company develops the fact of an over issue of 12,000 I This amount added to the legal stock issue of the com pany of 8,000 shares, give a total of just 20,000. This, at $50 per Bliare, would make $1,000,000, double the company's authorized capital, of which, however, only $100,000 is subscribed and paid for. Losses at the Patent Office.

A. L. Pearson on the charge of Murder growing out of the riots which occurred here on July 21st and 22nd. General Pearson had command of all the troops brought here to suppress the 1 strike on the Pennsylvania railroad against the double header trains. Among these were the troops of General Brin ton's division which arrived on Satur day morning, the 21st of July. In the afternoon of that day General Brinton's command were ordered out to the 28th street crossing to clear the crowds away. The collision occurred, during which some twenty citizens were killed. Among the&e was Nicholas Stoppel. Residing on Twenty-eighth street. When the Philadelphia troops fired he was sitting on his own doorstep, and was pierced by a bullet, the wound caus ing his death in a few hours. On the 1st of September a son of deceased made information before Mayor M'Carthy, charging General Pearson witli murder, the information setting forth that the command to fire had been given by him. Shortly after the commitment General Pearson's counsel applied to Judge Kirkpatrick, of the criminal court, for a writ of habeas corpus, which the court formally granted and waB made returna ble at twelve o'clock. At that hour Gen. Pearson appeared In court with his counsel, but owing .to the absence of Stoppel and other witnesses for the com monwealth the hearing- was adjourned until three o'clock. At that hour the court room wus crowded to suffocation and the court announced its readiness to proceed. The district attorney called the prose cutor, -Stoppel, and one other witness, and informed the court that these were the only witnesses that could be found. After taking the testimony of Stoppel, who admitted that he had made the in formation on the evidence of other par ties, he being absent, the court fixed the ball at $10,000 for another hearing on Saturday, and the amouutbeliigspeedily furnished General Pearson was released. A Happy Couple. ' On Thursday evening last Trof. W. N. Earhnrt was united in the bonds of matrimony to Miss Julia Whltenlght, daughter of D. E. Whltenlght, Esq., by Rev. N. D. McComas. Prof. E.,belng of a practical turn of mind, had a house furnished and stocked from cellar to garret. Ills bride removed her elegant piano to the house, and after the cere mony was over they took possession and are now fixed ns comfortably as any one and realizing their most sanguine wishes for domestic contentment and happiness. We join many friends in wishing them long continued happiness and prosperi ty. Tamaqua Courier. fTJ'A deplorable state of affairs Is said to exist at Sitka, since the with drawal of the troops at that place. There is now no protection either for life or property. There is not a semblance of law, either civil, military or naval, and no power whatever to restrain the law less elements. The white residents In tend to abandon the country as soon ns possible. Already the Indians have be gun to plunder the public buildings, car rying away doors and windows, tearing down nnd burning for fuel the stockade about the deserted garrison . There is no authority to Interfere and prevent the demolition of the place, and a massacre of the Inhabitants is feared. A Confession of a Thieving Official. Cincinnati, September 27. Lewis Myers, the county treasurer of Wapa koneta, Ohio, who was arrested and lodged in jail for being implicated in the recent robbery of the county treasury, has confessed that County Auditor J. T. Smith was the person who was per mitted to bind and gag Myers, and afterwards rob the safe of what money remained. It appears from the confes son that money had been heretofore ab stracted from the safe with Myers' knowledge and probable consent. CS" A dispatch from Sandoval, 111., says : " A train on the Illinois Central railroad was thrown from the track at threo o'clock Wednesday morning, kill ing seven passengers and injuring a number of others. " Masked men were seen by the pas sengers from the car windows, ns tho moon was shining bright, but after the accident they could not be found. It is supposed they intended to plunder nnd rob tho passengers, but were frightened away." U3T William Schrack, a young farmer of Bethel township, Berks county, was gunning ncarMillersburg, recently, with five other young men,and he accidental ly shot himself, the load of shot entering his thigh and passing upward Into his body. He died In two minutes after the accident. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, Sept. 26th, 1877. Yesterday morning about 11.25 A. 31., a lire alarm was sounded, and in a very short time it was known throughout the city that tho Patent Office was on fire. Every effort was made to extinguish tbo flames, but without avail, aud in a few hours the model room was swept more than half clean of its contents by tho devouring fire. It broke . out in the top or attio story, the floor of which was the only one in the whole immense building, but what was fire-proof, and which soon burnt through into the room whore were stored all the thousands of models that have collected for the last forty years. In 1830 the Patent Office was burnt with all tho models which were then in existence. How the fire originated yes terday is not known, but there are various theories concerning it. The general alarm was sounded half au hour after it was dis covered, and in a few minutes after, the Georgetown engines came to the assistance of the Capital fire force. Then Baltimore was telegraphed and her engines arrived in half an hour more. There was work for them all to do, for, although the streets are wido, the heat was so intense that the sur rounding squares were only saved by a con stant play of water upon them. The fire was scarcely under control when a livery stable in an adjoining square was discover, ed to be burning, aud the attention of some half a dozen more engines were turned upon it, but when liar begins to burn it isn't eory to stop it. The first wall of brick, and supported on cither side by other buildings alono was saved. The horses were all gotten out, but the car riages were lost. The city was a scene of intense excite ment which died away only at the ap proach of nightfall. Several persons were hurt, but as vet I have beard of no fatal accidents. Tbis morning crowds are thronging to see the ruins and in my next letter I can give a much clearer account of the whole matter than at present is possi ble. ' ; Tie near approach of Congress wares the citizens of the Capital nnd District that it Is high time to organize for the purpoao of obtaining the legislation necessary for the local interests of the city. Howerer well disposed the members of Congress may be toward the Dlstriot, it is remem bered that there are so many new ones that its needs are but little-understood by tho mars, and the subject is too complicated to admit of their becoming familiar ized with all its points tintil its details are explained to them by nn intelligent, well informed and Influential committee of cit izens. Therefore tiiore is necessity for par ticularly nctive preliminaries, aud steps are already boiug taken for the collection, and arrangement of such information as Con gress will need for proper legislation. Senator Bogy, of Missouri, is dead and politicians are already hard at work filling his place in the Senate. Half a dozen at least are eagerly baiting their hooks for the ofilce, and much wire pulling will go on beoauseof the vacant seat. Mr. Bogy was a poor boy, and arrived at the age of man hood in possession of no means aud of a very limited education. But lie was am bitious, persevering and industrious ; and with these qualities one rarely fails of suc cess. The following letter writton by him when he started out iu life, shows that his plans laid then wero adhered to nnd car ried. out with tenacity. St. Genevieve, January, 10th, 1833. On this day I loft homo under charge of Mr. William Shannon, an old friend of my father, to go to Kaskaskla to road law iu the oflice of Judge Pope. My education is very limited, but with hard study I may overcome it. I ant determined to try it, and my intention is to return to my native State to practice, if I can qualify myself, and while doing so to work to become U. S. Senator for my native State, and to work for this till I am 60 years old. I will pray God to give me the resolution to persevere in this intention. I have communicated this to my mother and irlven her this papor to keep. So help me God. Lewis V. Boov. Ho was elected to the Senate wheu ho was 00 years old. A.
