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.

A whole chicken house full of fowls was stolen from a houso cm Mercer street, near the jail. The thieves were very quiet about their work, and got away before their degradations were discovered. Mr. Miller, who resides in the lower part of tho city, also had a large number of fowls stolen from Ills yard.

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.” Call at Bedell A Ware’s for Calf.

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.

The passage of the Usury law was the fertile source of conversation yesterday. We have been assured that there was not tlu* least foundation fur the idle rumors about a deficit in the State which were floating around a day or two since. It was rumored that a shooting scrape occurred on the lower part of Broad street on Monday night. Twenty shots were said to have been fired wit bout effect. No bones cracked. The ghost is getting tired of scaring mortals. It has not appeared for three nights. The hoped for opera troupe still delays its coming.

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. ISigncdj W. W.

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. lintel Arrival*——Februury 10, IH7X.
