LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. AREEsT oF ALLKGED K:ipNarrees.—Fromthe New York Journal of Commerce of yesterday we leara that aman named James B Finley alias Haly A. Howard and bis wife were taken to New York on last Wednesday morning, from Fili- cott’s Mills, Howard cou Md , charged with having kiduapped Sarab Taylor, a colored girl, aged fourteeo, in New York city, and with hav- ing attempted to sel! her to a slave-dealer in this el The Journal says: “It is allezed tha’ Finley and wife persuaded the parents of the girl to allow her to leave her home, aad go with them to live in Newark, on the sth inst., bat instead of taking her to new- ark they went directly to Washington, putting upat Willards’ Hotel. Itis also alleged that the next morning Finley attempted to sell the girl for $600 to a slavedealer, but she understood his exposed him. The man acd his wife imunediately left Washington, aban- doning the yirl and went to Baltimore. Mr. Willard, on bearing the girl’s story, telegraphed to Mayor Tiemann, who at once made inquiry about the matter. The mother of the ft was found, and made an affidavit setting forth the facts of the case. At the Mayor’s request the girl was detained at the botel until the police could bring hertothiseity. Ofticers Barry and Lusk, of the Fourteenth precinct, were detailed to investi- vate the affair, and on the following day they ar- rested Dr. F.C. Clay of this city on suspicion of being connected with Finley in the kidnapping It ts said that he was not asseciated with Finley in the perpetration of the crime, but knew him intimately, and accompanied him to the cars when the party left for Washington. Dr. Clay was held to bail in the sum of $1,000 as a wit- ness. The officers went South. and after 2 pro- tracted search ascertaiued that Finley was at El- licott’s Milis, Howard county, Md. Oilicer Bar- Ty watched for him in disguise, and saw him go to the post office and inquire fora letter. The officer tben followed bim to a hotel, where ibe accused and his wife were arrested The neces- sary requisition was obtained trom the Governor of M&ryland, and the prisoners were broughi to this city w t diticulty, and held for examin- ation The girl hi been brought back and restored to her pareats Destructive Fire!—About two o'clock this morning, 2 fire broke out in arow of two-story frame LPuses ou Niath street, between O and P streets, Which destroyed eiyut dwellings. The fire commenced in a corner house belc Mr. H Crattenden, aud a stroug breeze al the ti aused the flames to <pread ly that, in afew minutes, they had com ca ted tothe © row, and in am incredibly short space of t they were burned to the ground. Five of the houxes belonged to Mr. Cruttenden. and were occupied by colored people as follows: The corner house, where the fire wroke out, by fl Barke. the second by Mrs.C. Dixon, the thin by Mrs. Bundy, the fourth by R. Bruce, the tifth by Eliza Hill, ‘The furniture in all these was almost entirely destroyed = ‘The next two houses were owned by Fowble, and one of them ‘was occupied by Wm. Harris. The name of the occupant of the othe e did not learn. The last bouse was owned by Thomas Lewis, bricklayer, and was not ocenptied The principal loss is sustained by those who lived in the houses, who lost all they possessed in the shape of furniture and clothing. Crutten- den was insured in the Franklin Company to the amount of 21,500. Fowble to the amount of $500 in the Mutual office, and Lewis to the amount of #00 in the Home office. The only fire compa- nies on the spot were the Northern Liberties and the Metropolitan Hook and Ladder Company, but owing to the entire abseuce of water, the engine Was of no use. This morning the scene of the fire was occu- pied by a large number of pe:soas,among whom Were the sulferers by the disaster, who were taking over the ashes to recover money and other valuables which had been left in the rooms in the burry of removal. The flre was the work of an incendiary, we bear. A mulatto girl, fourteen years of age, while standing over the hot ashes, had her clothing fired ; and, in an instant of time, she was envel- oped in flames. Prompt assistauce, however, saved her life, but with the loss of ali her cloth- ing. New Moog oF Licurixc Gas-Brorners.—A Mr. Samuel Gardiner, jr., of New York city, has invented and patented a new machine for light- ing public balls, churches, theatres, and alllarge rooms, where many yas-lights are used, by means of electriesty. He bas attached this machine to the large chandelier in the United States Senate Chamber, and on Wednesday morning the whole fifteen hundred burners in the Senate were, by simply touching & key, instantaneously ignited. ‘This experiment was tried upward of oue hun- dred times, and each time with complete suc- cess The operator, who stands on the tloor of the Senate Hail, bas perfect control over the yas, which is turned on yradualiy or rapidly et pleas- ure, by the simple process of touching am electric key. Placed in close contact is another key, by touching which the entire chandelier, contain ny no matter how many burners, is illuminated as iddenly as thongh by a flash of lightning. By a siunple reversion of the key, the lizbt is as sud- denly extinguished. The experiments with this new Inmp-lighter were ,witnessed by a large number of persons who had been apprized be- foreband of the matter. .

Segel was arrested at the cars, by officers Arnold and Asbe, on acharge of frand. “He was taken before Justice Donn, when it appeared tbat he bad sold three table cloths for $15, and represented that he was about leaving the city—that he had agreed to sell them to another lady for twice that amount, but he had not time to go to her house. The three cloths were not worth over $5. Justice Donn ordered him to refund ; he demurred until the Squire be- gan filling up a blank commitment, when he forked over. Segel was then told by the Squire he would have to pay a fine of $20 and costs for selling without a j Bedlanag To this he replied that he had no money. “ Well,’ said the Squire, “ you can work it out at the workhouse—it will take you only ninety days.’’ “Shtop! shtop!’’ ex- claimed Segel, “1 don't go to der workhouse!” In a moment he brought up from the far corner of his pocket the amount demanded for fine and costs, and left with a few Dutch ejaculations, snpposed to be not very complimentary to the Justice and his officers.
