THE PARTICULARS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—One" of the largest fires for some time past in this city took place this morning shortly before 7 o'clock. The fire was discovered in the stables of the Eighth avenue horse-car railroad, and notwithstanding that within five minutes after the ^discovery fefully forty streams of water were turned upon the blazing building, it was only when there was nothing further for the flames to leed upon that the firemen obtained mastery. The stables were in a four story brick building, fritting 200 feet on Eighth Avenue, and 400 feet on 49th and 50th street in the rear of Ninth avenue is a wilderness of carpenter and wagon shops, and a mountain of old barrels, many thousands stacked to the height of -30 or 40 feet. These were saved by the efiorts of the firemen, who, from the beginning especially directed their efforts to this point to prevent a general conflagration among the tenement houses on Ninth Avenue. Almost before a movement to save the stock in the stables could be made, FLAMES BURST SIMULTANEOUSLY FROM

THE WINDOWS.

on:the Fiftieth and Forty-ninth street ides. It became clear that the building was doomed to destruction. The cars stored on the ground floor were run out and saved. The horses stalled on the upper floors were untied and run down the inclined planes to the ground. There were nearly eight hundred and the work of getting them out was one of great difficulty and danger. Blinded by the smoke and frightened by the flames, they kicked and reared' and over one hundred had to be abandoned to destmction. Their .PITEOUS WHINNYING could be heard above the roar of the flames. The three upper floors were one vast sheet of fire. Two brick buildings, one a liquor store and the other a restaurant out into the stable building on the corner, were saved. At this point in the stables an immense quantity of hay in bales was stored. When these caught fire, a sudden bursting of the bars that bound the bales caused aa explosion that shattered the side of a building and threw the brick wall into the street, it fell with crashing iorce upon the ladder, on which were Chief Campbell, Foreman John Worth, of engine 8, and firemen Henry C. Mount and John Regan, of the same company. Each and all were buried under the smo ing mass, and

SHOUTS or HORROR WENT UP from the spectators. Their comrades instantly fell to the work of rescue, and soon all were recovered, bruised, bleeding and unsensible.

THE WOUNDED.

ACount had his skull and leg fract

ured, and was also injured internally hedied an hour afterwards in a hospital. Regan had his leg broken and was badly cut. Chief Campbell and Foreman Worth were painfully but not seriously hurt, and remained on duty. Hardly had the firemen and spectators recovered from the excitement caused by the fall ing of the wall, when it was rumored that a fireman had fallen into the building, but a muster of the companies later, showed all the men to be present, except those taken to the hospital. Soon afterwards the walls on Fiftieth street, fell with a crash the FLAMES LEAPED ACROSS THE STREET threatening houses there. The occupants fled and a thief attempting to enter one was speedily nabbed and hustled off to the police station. The firemen gave attention now to the surrounding proper-

.1" «, £.i as ?t' AJ

ty, the stables being amass of ruins. By 110 o'clock all danger of the spread of the fire was over and a number of engines were sent to their quarters. The others remained pouring water upon the dying flames. The loses are estimated at about $250,000. Insurance $270,000.

CHIEF FISHER, OF THE EIGHTH BATTALION, WAS INJUREDH in the back by the failing of the wall, and Fireman David Bosey was severely injured. Mount has a wite and four children. He was buried under the ruins, and' when discovered was lying with a heavy

IRON GIRDER ACROSS HIS CHEST. His skull was fractured, and several ribs broken. It was almost 3 o'clock before the road got fairly in running order, the cars being started from Fiftieth-eighth street. At that hour the firemen were pulling doWn what fragments remained of the walls, and the flames were entirelv subdued.

SHIPWREGKED.

Steamer Bellona and the Mail Steamer Albert are

ASTER.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says, the board of United States steam vessel inspectors, made public this morning, their conclusions regarding the Champion and Lady Octavia collision on the 7th inst, off Cape Delaware and by which so many people perished. The bofcrd finds, after'the examination of 15 witnesses of the Champion's crew and passengers and six of the Lady Octavia's crew, that the disaster was wholly due to the absence of a proper lookout on the Champion,as the night was clear, and the maie and boatswain of the Lady Octov a state that the lights on the Champion were se^n from 12 to 15 minutes before colli6sion. Report further says we are of opinion that the fault rests mainly with R. H. Leonard, first mate of the Champion, who had charge of the watch and were it not for the uict that he is lost, we should express ourselves in condemnation of his action^ in more severe terms, as it is in evidence that he called the lookout from his post te assist in setting the top sail, and not keeping a lookout himself or giving instructions to the man at the wheel to do so, the small number of the crew necessitating the assistance of the mate.

LOCAL NOTICES.

A BEAUTIFUL WORK. Things are getting finer and finer. Bread wagons nowadays are as fine as coaches used to be and now, thanks to the skill of the mechanics at the Terre Haute Carriage Shops, on Third street milk wagons will eclipse everything else When people want to ride in style they will get into W. G. Davis & Son's new milk wagon. The Terre Haute Carriage Company has just completed for the Davises a beauty, resembling at front and rear a palace car and finished after the simple elegance of the style of fine coaches in glossy black. The ornamentation is exquisitely done. It it nottransferred work. The gearings are of dark green and the wheel trimmings done in gold and carmine. The new plan adopted for holding up the tongue is good. In fact, ever} thing about the job bespeaks for Messrs. Whittaker and Stickle, the: iron and wood workers, and Jonn Tobin, head painter, the credit of first class mechanics.

TOSSING UPON A BED AGONY, Tortured iii every joint with inflamtft&-~ tory rheumatism, is a prospeot which may become a melancholy fact if the twinges of the dread .disorder are not checked 'at the outset Persons of a rheumatic tendency find Hostetter's Stomach Bitters a useful remedy, nor do they encounter the risk in uaing it they do from resorting to that active poison* Colchicum, which is often employed to arrest the malady. The use of the bitters is equally as effective in its results* and taatteoded with no risk. There is ample testimony to prove that the medicine possesses blood depurating qualities of no common order, besides those of a tonic and general alterative. It stimulates the action of the kidneys and promotes the removal from the system of impurities which develop disease, and are fraught with serious danger. Fever and ague, dyspepsia, debility, nervousness, constipation, &c„ are remedied by it.

ROAST PIG!

A SPLENDID FEAST FOR THANKSGIVING BY JOS. RUPP. Joe Rupp, the boss butcher, will sustain his usual high reputation for haying the best on Thanksgiving.

The proceeds of the ball will be turned into the fund for the payment of uniforms for the members. Every lady attending thei ball will receive fa ticket to the prize drawing. The prizes to be drawn wilt be on exhibition to-day at H. F.. Schmidt's jewelry store.
