Fire.
About 7 o’clock last night the alarm of
fire was sounded and was soon caught up
in every part of tho city. Everybody
seemed to try to yell as loud as possible,
and the tumult was certainly a success.
The companies all began to turn out and
get ready for work, when it was ascertain
ed that the cause of all the trouble was
tho burning out of a chimney on Jackson
street. Everything soon subsided Into
original peace.

An Im|ior(iu\( Event.
Yesterday an event of considerable local
importance transpired' on Broad street.
Our friend Jake Burrus, who has for many
years been regularly found ut the corner
which boat's his name, rudely severed the
ties of association which bound him to
the spot, and crossed the street, carrying
with him his varied stock of merchandise.
H' is now to bo found next door to Fee’s
tin shop, and expresses a determination
to remain there for all time to come.
The poet once sung
“You may break, you may shatter tho vase if you
will,
But tlu* scent of tho roses will oliug to it still.”
Wo six> a strong illustration of this
poetic truth in the ease now before us.
Burrus hns stayed at that corner until it
has actually begun to look like him. Long
ago it became known to the public and
especially to newspaper reporters ns
“Burrus’ corner.” The famjljau; spirit has
flown from it and can noWiv lie seen
moving about it, but posterity, yes, un
born generations will still call it “Burrus’
corner.”

SOMETHING FURTHER .])<*' f THE BRIDGE.
Mr. Editor : —At tl. request of the tax
payers and citizens of Girard, allow me to
trouble you once more on the creek bridge
question, and then I will leave It for the
present.
“Marshall" waxes warm, and no doubt
felicitates himself upon Ids happy hits and
unanswerable arguments. lie accuses me
of selfishness in advocacy of a bridge at
the old point. I do not deny it. Selfish
ness lies at the foundation of all human ac
tion. Perhaps “Marshall” displays no sel
fishness in tlio positions taken by him.
Perhaps most of tho Marshall merchants
feel little or no interest in a bridge over
the creek, as their interests are not likely
to be promoted much thereby. The same
selfishness which leads pie to advocate this
bridge would lead me to assist by taxation
in building all other bridges of the county.
And now for some points which our oppo
nent will please make a note of. The heav
iest tax-payors on both sides of the creek
favor the rebuilding of the bridge, and on
tho old site where one has existed for forty
years. No other point would be so conve
nient or subserve so well the public Inter
est.
The impracticable idea of forcing people
to go throe or four miles out of their way
to cross the creek at Godwin’s old mill, is
an absurdity, and to cutout the road and
build the necessary bridges and culverts,
would involve more expense than to build
a bridge at the old sit**. Two years ago,
when a cheap and inferior bridge was
erected, tho Commissioners and bridge
builders examined the creek for a mile up,
and finally and unanimously concluded
that no sito was so accessible as the old
one. The actual measurement of the
bridge and abutments is 225 foot. Admi
rable marl foundations may be obtained.
The bridge should I*3 a lattice span, like
those over Bull Creek, in Muscogee coun
ty, and Maj. Bates will build and guaran
tee such a bridge, w f o are Informed, for
fifteen hundred or two thousand dollars.
Only one small additional trestle will be
required in front of Dan Collins' to com
plete the way. The bridge is not only
needed for the convenience of Girard and
vicinity, but it is also a necessity for Co
lumbus, when, as is frequently tho (rase,
either of the river bridges is out of repair.
Feeling little or no interest in the incor
poration question, 1 leave that for “Mar
shall,” and hoping this discussion will
wake up the Bussell Commissioners to a
sense of duty, I remain,
Respectfully,
Girard.

BLOODY TRAGEDY.
A MAN HOUR IDLY HI TCHKIIEII IN
THE NTBKKTM OK tOLI RBI 8.
Defer Finnegan Kill* Charles 11. %VIIUIng.
Yesterday morning tho whole communi
ty whs startled by tho report that a man
had been found in tho upper part of tho
city literally cut to pieces. There seemed
to bo, at first, no trace of the guilty party,
and the whole affair seemed to be envelop
ed In mystery. It was soon ascertained
that the dead man was one Charles H.
Wilding, a well known bootmaker, who has
! resided in this city for a long time.
Early yesterday morning a party of
ehildron found his body lying near the
track of the North A South Railroad, at
the intersection of Oglethorpe and Frank
lin streets. The body was In a perfect pool
of blood, and the head, lying on the side
walk, presented a most ghastly appear
ance. Soon, the attention of passers by
was called to tho spot, and several police
men came up.
Several of the spec tutors recognized the
mutilated body as that of Charles H. Wild
ing, hut could not surmise any probable
cause of his death. On tho other side of
tho track, and about ten feet distant from
his body, was found a huge knife, which
was recognized as having belonged to the
deceased. The blade was covered with
blood, and it was at once presumed that it
was tho instrument of death. Tho news
soon spread like wild Are, and the friends
of the deceased flocked to the spot. Sus
picion at once fell on one Peter Finnegan,
witii whom Wilding was lost, seen alive,
and the police were informed <f this fact.
Accordingly, Marshal Robinson ami po
licemen Cash and McEachern, and Sheriff
j Ivey, procured horses and a buggy and
proceeded at once to Amos’ carriage shop,
on Wynn’s Hill, where they supposed Fin
negan could he found. When they arrived
there, Marshal Robinson rushed up stairs,
while tho other officers surrounded the
house. The Marshal found Finnegan at
work, preparing to paint some wagons.
Ho arrested him, and told him to come
along. Finnegan asked permission to
wash Ids hands. Robinson told him there
was no time for that. The prisoner was
taken out and put into the buggy. He
kept perfectly silent until about half way
down the hill.
THE CONFESSION.
He then asked Marshal Robinson why
he was arrested. The latter replied, “Be
cause you killed Charlie Wilding.” The
prisoner denied the deed. Robinson then
told him that there was evidence of his
guilt, and asked him why lie killed Wild
ing. Finnegan then confessed the killing,
and said that Wilding knocked him down,
and he had to kill him.
In a short time the policemen and the
Sheriff arrived at the scene of the killing
with the prisoner. The body had been re
moved from the street into a small house
in Me’Daniel's wagon yard, at tho corner
of Oglethorpe and Franklin streets. A
large crowd of people had surrounded this
house, and all seemed anxious to get a
glimpse of the mutilated body.
A coroner’s jury had been summoned
and were about to begin their investiga
tion. The prisoner was carried into the
room where the dead man was laid. He
gazed upon the corpse without the slight
est emotion, and really looked somewhat
indifferent. The sight was terrible enough
to move the stoutest heart. There lay the
dead man, surrounded by pools of blood.
His face was completely covered with
blood, and was scarcely recognizable. His
body was bare, and completely rent with
gashes. Two terrible cuts near the left
shoulder, several in the lower part of the
chest, several in the back, and one which
had almost severed the nose made the
sight too sickening to look at.
CORONER’S inquest.
The coroner’s jury began their work,
and commenced the examination of wit
nesses.
Early Slaughter, sworn—Wilding came
up to my saloon, at 82 Broad street-t.he
old Harris (bounty bar -about 2 o'clock this
morning. Nobody was with him when he
came in. He was drinking. Ho said noth
ing of having had any difficulty. Finne
gan was there when deceased came in.
Finnegan was there front 11 o'clock until 1
closed my bar. He and Hackney wen* talk
ing together; then Finnegan said ho was
going to carry deceased home. They wont
out together. There was no difficulty be
tween them at my bar-room. Finnegan
came back after a while alone. Don’t know
whether there was any blood on him or
not. The deceased did not come back to
mv bar-room after ho left with Finnegan.
F. Reich, sworn—Saw deceased about 1
o’clock, lie had been drinking; wanted a
drink from me. I refused to give it to
him. Know nothing of any difficulty he
had.
Lewis Pryor, swortt f was ut Slaugh
ter’ Saloon at half-past 2 or 3 o’clock.
Asked deceased to come and go home with
me. He did not reply. Finnegan came up
and said. “Halloa, Charley! how are you?'’
Deceased said, “Why, Low are you, Fete ?
1 haven’t seen you since you were a little
fellow.” Deceased and Finnegan walked
outside and talked. They went off to
gether. In about twenty minutes Finne
gan ean>e back alone. lie was asked if
Wilding had gone home; said he did not
know; said that after he and deceased
had gone some distance, dweiised had
cursed his dead parent---and no maneould
do that. Ho said lie gave deceased a shove
and left him; did not know whether he
went home or not. Finnegan seemed to
be in a great hurry; he kept hurrying
Hackney to go home; said he was deter
mined to go home. He was drinking at
this time.
Peter Bidder, sworn I have beep work
ing with deceased about two weeks. At
about 7 o’clock last night we went into
Springer’s and took a live cents drink of
whiskey together. I asked him to go back
to the shop with me and finish a pair of
boots wo were making for Mr. Crawford;
said he did not feel like working then but
would get up early. We went into Lipps’
and got some cigars. 1 told him good
bye. Did not set* Finnegan or anybody
wit Ii deceased.
Policeman Roberts testified That some
children found the body in the street
about 6 o’clock. He came up soon ufter
wa rds.
The foreman of the jury then stated that
Finnegan had confessed tlu* deed to him.
Dr. W. W. Flewellen tin'll examined the
body of the deceased, and delivered tho
following opinion as to the cause of death:
The wounds which produced tho death
of Mr. Wilding were two; which wen* made
to the side of the scapular on tho lett side,
severing the sub-scapular vein and the
other from tin* front, entering the cavity
of the chest and lung, severing the artic
ulation of tlu* third rib. and wguqdtng the
pulmonary vein. The other eleven wounds,
while they made a ghastly appearance,
would not have produced death.

THE PRISONER.
Peter Finnegan was carried to tho jail
by the sheriff and imprisoned. Finnegan
is a young man—about 21 years of age.
His parents are Irish. He was born in
Ireland, and came from tliatcountry when
aboilt four years of age. He has lived in
Columbus for a number of years. His
mother is dead. His father and a sister,
Isoldes himself, compose the immediate
family. He has two aunts in the city. Ho
is rather youthful in apjfoarance, and has
a rather dogged look. His pants were
badly smeared with blood. Clotted blood
was also on his hands and Anger nails.
THE DECEASED.
Charles H. Wilding, the deceased, is a
native of Prussia. He came to Columbus
about twentv-two years ago. For a long
time he has made a livelihood by making
boots and shoos, on St. Clair street. He
has two brothers now living. Fred Wild
ing lives here, and is also a boot-maker.
Chris., another brother, went from Co
lumbus to Texas several years ago. The
deceased was about 43 years of age. Sev
eral years since he married a Miss Dun
can, sister to policeman Duncan. He
leaves her and three children, one Of whom
is an infant.
Wo heard it stated that up to ten o’clock,
his wife was perfectly ignorant of tho
deatii of her husband. She is, at present,
very sick and it is feared that the shock
will go very hard with her.
THE WOUNDS.
The decease*! was cut in fourteen differ
ent places. There are three terrible gash
es any one of which would have proven
fatal. One or two fingers of the right
hand were badly cut. It is suppose*! that
a knife was held in it and being violently
jerked through caused the cuts.
Two knives were found both of which
were bloody. Some of the spectatorsj
thought that the killing was done with
tin* larger, which belonged to deceased.
The blade of this is about fourteen inches
long and one and a half wide, a terrible
weapon. The other is a much smaller
weapon and shuts like a common pocket
knife.
After the Coroner’s inquest was held, the
body was washed and prepared for inter
ment. We believe tin* remains will be in
terred to-day.
IN JAIL.
We went to the jail about noon yester
day and had a short conversation with the
prisoner. He seemed calm and collected;
said that Wilding us<*l some abusive lan
guage about his father. He grew an
gry and replied, when Wilding caught
him by the collar with a terrible grip and
drew his knife. They both fell, prisoner
on top. Then lie did the cutting. He says
he acted in pure self-defence.
We have thus given the public-the de
tails of a most horrible affair. Such occur
rences greatly injure the peace and mor
als of society, and should l>e deeply de
plored by all. It is true that circumstan
ces point out Peter Finnegan plainly as a
murderer. We t hink, however, t hat public
prejudice should not grow too bitter. The
prisoner is entitled to a fair and impartial
trial. His guilt or innocence will be deter
mined by the proper tribunal. There let
the matter rest.
The preliminary examination of the pris
oner will be held this afternoon at two
o’clock, before one or more Justices of the
Peace.
