eyes after the shock
oocurrenfe was one beyond description—
rtrending in the extreme. About the
e stated a dense smoke was seen issuing
from the basement of the fourth-story build
ing occupied by Joseph Specht, ou Madison
street, between Main and Second, as,a con
fectionery, and in a- short time the entire
building warf wrapt bya^loud of smoko that
hid the walls from their eyes. The people
living across from the burning building were
awakened by the piteous cries (tad doleful
lamentations of the unfortunate inmates,
who, too late, discovered the awful doom
that awaited them. The cries of “Help,
help I oh, iplp me 1” could be heard ringing
in the air, making night mournful by their
anguish. And again the supplicating voices
would be heard gradually dying^mwav until
the unfortunate victim, overcome by the
suffocating effect of the smoke, yielded up
life with a last struggle. The poor creatures
called in vain on their friends in tue oppo
site buildings, who wove making fruitless
efforts fo save them from the awful fale that
seemed inevitable. But one building being
so much higher than the other, and no ropes
being at band, the friends of the unfortunate
leople in the burning building could only
00k upon them with anguish, being power-*
less to help.
The steamer No. 3 Was the first ou the
spot. iVbfin she readied tbe scene, tbe
wildest excitement prevailed; to flame
could be seen, bqi tbe smoke was puffing un
iu massive columns, thick and black, and
through it could be heard an appealing voice;
“ Qh, save me, save me!” aod iu a' short
time gtierwards, the cries tor help could buve
been beard from several parts at the build
ing, and tbe faces of the suffering people
could be barely seen through tbe srnoke as
they reached out to catcu breath. Here the
e was tiuly dreadful; water would have
d strength to the Bmokc, ayd in a short
tilde the building might be one lurid flame
crocking to the heavens. While tbe excite
ment was at its heieht, the tapping of Ibe
grog belonging to tbe hook and iaduer com-
say, in charge of Capt. Teaffe, were heard,
>d they came driving as fast as tbe horses
aid go. The gallant members went man-
illy to work. In ft short time flieir ladders
ere erected, and one of ibe gallant boys
wgs gpon -climbing up to tfie rescue- One of
the ladders was placed against a window on
■’ ’ — J a -fit fife saved was
, young babe, and the next was a girl about
eight years old.
Information was brought to Capt. Teaffe
that Mr. and Mrs. Jehle were in a room in
tbe third story, and tbe capiain ordered his
ladder to that point, nud Mr, Waldravcu
went up, but too late tosaye the unlortunute
couple, \ybp, it seemed, had made au at
tempt to save, themselves, hut full powerless
nearly side by side. Mrs. Jehle being too
heavy for the sireugth of tbe firemen, her
babe, about five weeks old, was taken down
by him iu safety. Mr. Waldraven, Mr.
George McGuin, and a young McGowan
next went up and brought down Mrs, 4eh\e,
and afterward Mr. Jehle, hut they had ex
pired before tty>y reached the ground. Qoe
afler another, those who were lucky enough
tc escape ibe awful death that' seemed to
await them were brought* -imtli, among
whom were Mr- Joseph Specht, tbe propri
etor, Mrs. Yurbry,mother ol Mrs.Jehle, Miss
SalfieLee, and tbe two children named.
Mr. Joseph Barthel jumped from the fourth
slory window, and had his fall broken by a
futile attempt of a friend to catch h ‘h 1 >
his life VV saved by tortunately alighting in
a bed of mud. Amoe? ‘hose who are dead,
ilrst comes Mr. Yfm. Jehle, who was a
young man about twcply-flve years old,
uid bad been worried over two years. His
vile, Nannie J , was about eighteen years

vife and two children.
Augustus Mienhauser was quite a young

blind mother. Hia death W probably the
Haddest Of afi. Ris poor old mother, help-
1ms and alone, without means of support aud
unable fo take care of herself; was yesterday
taken to the hospital. J. C. Hauck was
onoe a fireman, and his death was a terrible
one indeed. Finding himself enveloped in
hot smoke, and no doubt fearing he was
BC ,i nK to be burned alive, he took the des
perate resolve of jumping from the tomtit
story. He did so, and fell OU his head,
vhich killed him instantly aud disfigured
Rw Very much. Mr. Hauck s wife died ou
thelOth of last September, and his death
leaves three small ehtiaren friendless in the
world. An old gentleman, who was known
hv the name of old Uncle Billy, was taken
out dead. The candy-maker, who was
known as Philip, was an Italian, and but
little was known of him, except that be was

previous question can be brought in to mo

Novel Method of Cubing Meats fob
Food—A Novel Application of Science.—
We were enabled to witness, in company
with many others, several entirely satisfac
tory demonstrations of its successful ampli
cation to the curing of meats for food. The
process is exceedingly simple, and consists
iu using the natural organism provided for
the circulation of the blood as a conduit for
the infusion of pure brine into the animal,
and thereby salting the meat in as many
minutes as it took weeks under the old pro
cess. The method has been in daily use at
the extensive slaughter-house of Messrs.
Alberger, in this city, for several months
past, and is pronounced a decided success
by all who have witnessed it.
It applies equally well to cattle as to
swine, although the demonstrations wit
nessed by us were confined to the latter.
The following is a brief description of the
process: The hog having first been ren
dered unconscious by a blow on the
head, Is brought to the edge of tbe scald
ing vat, laid upon its back, and its ster
num or breast-bone laid open with a saw so
us to expose the heart. That organ is then
pierced, allowing as much of the arterial
blood to escai>c as wifi flow- The animal is
scalded, iu Lair removed, and it is then con-
vayed to the injecting table. Over this table,
at the height of eight or ten feet, is placed a
reservoir uf strong, oold brine, into which
are inserted rubber tubes terminating in
smnll met allic pipes. An orifice having been
made in the left ventricle of the heart, one of
these pipes is inserted into it and tied, and
the brine flows into the channels of circula
tion, driving tim blood before it and oat of
the incision'in the heart itself. As soon as
the blood ceases to flow, a full circulation oi
b.riue has taken its place, and in from eight
to ten minutes the flesh is sufficiently im-
S ated with salt to warrant its being fin
itely sent to market. The animal is
then disemboweled, cut up, and the product
disposed of in ibe usual way. Those por
tions designed for smoking are submitted to
that process at once, and the rest is either
packed or dry salted, as may be desired.
Tbe great features of this process of eating
meats tor tood arc that it may be need in all
seasons df the year aad in fill climates; that
it is simple and easy in ils application, re-
i.ijuirisg nn peculiar skill sad no expensive OV
complicated machinery; and last, bat not .
ieast, mat it oDviatea sue customary delays
in getting the produce to market which is
involved in the old process, and thereby
largely reduces the amount of active capital
necessary to carry on the business. This
ucw process also seems to us to be destined
to become a valuable agency the world’s
ecouomy in warm climates.—Buffalo Ad-

mander E. Simpson, of the steamer Mohi
can, from Cura Brazil nnder date of Nov- 7,
reports to the Navy Department that on the
afternoon ot the 30th nit, when off the coast
of Maranham, the back of a large fish was
seen about a cable's length from the ship,
and inclined diagonally toward her. A few
moments afterward the engines suddenly
stopped. Steam was shnt off, and a hurried
examination made. No .cause conld be dis
covered for the remarkable result. Steam
was again turned on, bnt the engines could
not be forced ahead. At this time several

One partv was found with half the body out
and half in a window perfectly dead, while
another had evidently knelt down to pray
bv a window, leaning the btad out, and the
hands clasped as though in the actof im-
nloriDg mercy. Thus the spirit wandered to
the God who gave it, and in this position
the body was found. Tbe death of Mr. and

few moments it was discovered that a large
blackfish or whale had been caught between

The Pope.—Archbishop Manning,
London, professes to have no fear, even
should tbe Pope quit Rome. In his address,
delivered a few days ago, be said :
It the sovereign Pontiff left the city of
Romo, be did not make a leap in tbe dark in
the wide world. Forty-five Pontiffs bad
been driven out of Rome, or had never set
their foot in it, and if it happened to tbe
46th they would neither be amazed nor
afraid. To shift tbe centre of Christendom
from tbe centre of Roman unity would carry
disorder into every Christian laud. If there
were Christian statesmen in Europe, or if
without tieing Christian there were enlight
ened statesmen, they would never suffer that
calamity to reach their own ’
