Great Conflagration In Rev for*—Bar
nan’s Hasean Totally Destroyed.
The destruction of Barnum’s Museum by
lire on the 13th, from the noted character of
the place, caused great excitement. The
New York papers are filled with detailed de
scriptions of the conflagration, from which
we condense the following:
It broke out at about half-past twelve
o’clock in the afternoon in a basement stor
age room adjoining another room in which
there was a steam boiler, under the rear of
Barnunt's Museum, on Auu street, and
swept upward rapidly through that famous
establishment, and extended thence hlong
Ann street to Broadway and towards Nassau
street and through the block to Fulton street
The progress ot the flames was very rapid,
and soon all that was left of the world re
nowned Museum was a heap of blackened
and smouldering ruins, and ultimately, be-,
fore mastery of the devouring element had
been gained by the firemen, a clean sweep
was made of all the buildings on Broadway
between Ann and Fulton streets, along Ann
street as far as and including No. 12, and
along Fulton street to No. 155. Other houses
were considerably damaged. Altogether
eighteen buildings were destroyed,and others
received considerable damages.
At one time during the fire the Herald
Building, and in fact the entire block em
braced by Broadway, Ann, Fulton and Nas
sau streets, was in imminent danger. That
ancient edifice, St. Paul’s church, on Broad
way, opposite Barnum’s Museum, was also
at one time Seriously threatened; but it also
was saved. Some lew of the Museum.curi
osities were rescued ; but by far the greater
part of this rare aud valuable collection, to
gether with the other property in the estab
ment, was in a very short time swept,out of
existence. Mr. Barnum’s loss on stock is
estimated at three hundred thousand dollars,
on which it is said, he had an insurance ot
only sixty thousand dollars. The loss on
the building, which did not belong to Mr.
Barnum, is forty thousand dollars. It was
insured.
Tbe entire losses on buildings aud Stocks
by this lire foot up about one million and a
quarter of dollars. During its progress sev
seral persons received injuries, and there are
rumors, though it cannot be ascertained to a
certainty, that some few lives were lost. It
is supposed the origin of the fire was acc-i
--de ntal.
The New York Herald has the following
account ot scenes at the fire. ✓
SEEING THE CURIOSITIES.
The majority of the crowd seemed delight
ed at the chance of seeing the curiosities
gratis. One of the employees of the Museum,
who passed through the crowd with a bunch
of coral in one hand and a stuffed raccoon in
the other, was loudly cheered. But the ex
citement rose to its height when the giantess,
the fat 'lady and the white woolly-headed
Albino passed down Fulton street, followed
by a number of the ladies of the corps de
ballet, who, poor things, had lost all of their
theatrical wardrobe. The pantomime of the
Green-Monster was to have been performed
at the Museum iu the afternoon; but the
Monster was consumed with the whales, the
Happy Family and the snakes. The fat lady,
the giantess and the ballet girls found a tem
porary refuge in a newspaper office, where
they rehearsed their losses to h small but se
lect audience, and the Albino was spirited
away to a more private location, where she
could not be seen without paying for the
privilege. About one hundred persons must
have been thrown out of employment at the
Museum, and many of the pantomimists,
dancers and keepers will find it difficult to
obtain employment at this dull season for
amusements The crowd did not think of
this, however. They were incessant in their
cries of ‘boiled whale,’ ‘fried snakes,’ ‘broil
ed monkey,’ aud ‘roast elephant,’ thus dis
playing a sort of yamin wit and perfect fa
miliarity willi the contents of the Museum.
‘Throw me out one of the canoes,’ or ‘Pitch
me the bow-constructor, I wants it for a tip
pet,’ or ‘How are you, learned seal ?’ pro
voked continual laughter.
HOW THE ANIMALS FARED.
When the fire first broke out and the
smoke Commenced to penetrate the galleries
there arose the most peculiar Babel of sounds
which it was ever allotted to mortal to
The Happy Family quite belied that cogno
men —the moukeys jabbered, the dogs bark
ed, the cats mewed, parrots screamed, bears
growled, kangaroos kangarooed, paroquets
screamed ‘ otter, otter," aud the poor otter,
not caring for the smoke, buried himself in
his native element. The g birds fluttered
against the bars of their cages and sang most
doleful melodies. To save those poor ani
mals was one of the first things thought of,
aud the first who presented himself to our
notice was poor “bruin” himseli, making the
descent of tbe ladder in a very peculiar man
ner. He seemed quite savage and not at all
inclined for fun. After some consibe rable
time he reached not the top of the ladder
but|the foot,and once on terra jinna he looked
as contented as a bear could look under the
circumstances.
Louder grew the jabberings of the mon
key tribe, who leaped frantically about, the
boa constrictor writhed in agony as the heat
became stronger, and a dismal series of wails
from the whales, who had not been used to
tropical seas, mingled with the rhapsodies of
the astrologer, the pantings of the fat wo
man and the groanings of the giantess. The
two latter were half frantic, and the maniac
penman made the most artistic flourishes
with his quill. Poor Ned, the educated seal,
who was wont to astohish spectators with
his sagacity, who used to turn the handle of
a barrel organ, and do everything but speak,
was seized upon by a couple of men; his res
cuers succeeded in bringing Ned to a place
of safety, and we may at some future time
see him perform as of yore. „
With these exceptions, we fear all the ex
ensive and interesting collection of animals
tell a prey to the fiery element, with the ex
ception perhaps of a few birds, which may
have succeed in flying off.
Rehabilitation -of Florida.
