Pauling wotua.j, overcome by the iiim'S,
i"i?u.doned ihe animal to its fate. A

burning rags fell upon herneck and caused _
her to look around. "With ft howl oC dis

den and flea for dear life. j
One immense Dutchman trundled al
wheel-Narrow along loaded with a keg or,
laser beer, *ome fiancees, and clothing.
Ill* wlfo and children followed, all laden
with sundrv articles, two dosr* bringing up
the resr. lie tolled and putfVd along until
tho approach of the fliuioB rendered moro
rapid flight necessary. The wheelbarrow
was then abandoned, but not until the beer I
to eg was opened and a parting drink taken
all around. One Incident combined the
pntbetie with tho ridiculous. Two blocks
beyond where I lived, in Hatstead street,
resided an old German, an almost helpless j
cripple, whose sole support was bis wife
and younn son. The latter went away In
the morning, and did not return. The fire
rapldlv approached with deadly omen, and
the old c<>uple were not only distracted at
ibe absence of the boy but fearful of their
possible fate. At last the flimes came so
near that they must fly or die. In the
strength of her offllction the old woman
seized ttic poor cripple, placed bira upon
her back, unci thus staggered along lor 3
distance of two blocks, when some men
placed him In a grocer's wagon and drew
him to a place ot safety. But it ??iw
wicked to think of such trifle amidst all
the harrowing scenes In memory. I never
can tell of t he universal horror of those
hour*. Thev were years. I don't wonder
thit men seemed demented and women
h? stoical. One or the littlo girls that at
tended ntv school became lost. 1 found
her crying as though her heart would
break. Mic Is but seven years old, and she
could not tell what had become of her pa
rents and family.
There were many such cases. As we
went on further the thron? increased until
the streets and sidewalks were black with
people, it was like a freshet, and poured
in the one direction of safety. By-and-by
we found the tire getting around us as
thoiv'h escape would bft cut on, and ^e
would be entomlH-it in one grand pyre of]
tl ime. 44 Go the other way j wc arc headed
off was now und then the cry and the
multitude would turn back, strugRling in
a new direction. I saw some women and
children and one man, exhausted, lay down
in the gutters to die in the hopelessness
of desperation. Others would seize and
uree them along. Smoke and cinders
nrid flame and scorching beat filled
the air. Children screamed In terror aud
brs"ed for water. Some would catch up
water from puddles near hydrants aud
moisten the mouth. "This is liell-fire.

In tbo interior of these fireproof build

Radical Bow In Portsmouth.
fp^el *1 telo<iam to the Dispatch.
Portsmouth, Va., CcLobnr 13.? A meet
ing of the Republican party of Jackson
Ward was held last night at Oxford Hall,
and the Republicans of Jefferson Ward met
at ihe Bbzot building In that ward. About
half-past 8 o'clock the Bazar meeting ad
journed and proceeded to Oxford HalJ.
Upon their arrival it was proposed by a
member of the Hall meeting that they
would adjourn, when a negro Interfered,
jumped on the stage, and proposed that
tbe meeting be addressed by a member of
Jefferson Ward, ile was struck by the
speaker who first proposed to adjourn, and
this created a row. In a few momenta the
stage was crowded with men of both fac
tions, engaged in combat, using bludgeons
and black-jacks, but no lire-arms.
The row terminated in the badly cutting
of one negro, whilst several whites and
blacks? all republicans received some
heavy blows. Several parties were also
conlined in prison for trial. Lyons, who
dispenses Government patronage in the
navy-yard, struck the first blow. Mayor
Tboma*, lately impeached by Conserva
tives but still in oflhe, took some part in
the row, and the Lyons faction this morn
ing threaten anothor impeachment.
Will give full particulars when ascer
tained.
