An alarm was at once sounded from box 14 (Columbia building), azd soon atter- Wards a general alarm brought out the entire fire department. In the meantime the chamber door was forced open, and if was found that the fire was just at the platform on which the judge sits and had got Into the partition in the rear of this platform. On the entrance of Officer Byrnes, Fire Commissioner Bacon and the fire- men, the fine ofl paintingor Washington was removed with some difticulty. A portion of the Toot was soon cut away by the firemen, under direction of Chief Cronin, exposing the flames, which were thus soon extinguished; not, how- ever, until the entire western wing of the build- ing had been flooded. There was a fearat one time that the fire would communicate to the extreme western end of the building, which is occupied by the register of wills, but this fear ‘was soon dispelled, as the firemen’ worked with a will and soon had the flames under control. ‘They thus prevented what might have been, except for their efforts, a most disastrous con- Dagration. ‘The rcom where the fire started was pretty well saturated with water and the carpets burnt pailally. The room was formerly occu- pied—in the days of the old municipal govern- ment—as the chamber of the board of common evuncil, and at one time it extenged to the east wail of the west wing of the building. but ante- rooms being needed the partition was erected, cutting off two rooms, BOW THE FIRE ORIGINATED—PINE BOARDS OVER REGISTERS! ‘The room was heated from a furnace In the basement. the registers being on either side of the judges platform, and in order to divert the direct escent of the heat and at the same time enlarge the platform to accommodate the 1n- creased number of judges, the plan was adopted and carried Into execution of extending the platform on bricks about 6 Inches above the re- isters. It is pretty certain that the constant eat converted this flooring Into material as inflammable as tinder, and as the fire in the fur- nace was quite low When the platform was | found to be on fire that it must have been smcidering for some hours previously. Some builders who examined the work to-day state that the only epee plan to have adopted was to have left an air chamber between the brick and the flooring. The actual loss will not ex- ceed £1,000 by fire and water, and fortnately nO papers or records were lost, Had the alarm been half an hour later it is likely that it would have been totally impos- sible to save the building. Had the loft been reache® (this being filled with old dry tim- ber and rubbish) the flames would have rapidly spread over the entire building, which is occu- Pied as follows: West wing by District Attor- ney’s office, Equity Court room on left of main story, Bar Association and judges’ consultation room on right on the main floor, Cireuit Court No. 2) room, Register of Wills éffice, which {s the only fire-proof depository in the hall in the upper story. In the other end of the building are the Criminal Court room, the Marshal's office, Clerk’s office. witness’ room, Recorder of Deeds office and grand jury room. Had the Temes spread the loss would have been beyond caleniauion. HISTORY OF THE BUILDIN ‘The building was erected about nd was occupted unt! after the war by the city govern- ment and the courts of the District, but under the board of public works the city’s interest in the building was acquired by the general gov- erpment. At present the buiiding ts entirely Insufiicient for the purposes for which it ts used, and it is notoriously unsafe. For the present the Court in General Term has been compelled to seek quarters in the Columbia Law School ‘building, and there is now a bill pending in Congress to erect an addition on the origival plan, which provides for a wing extending northward from the vestibule. This tire is about the best argument which can be made in sup- | port of the bill. | REPAIRING DAMAGE. Deputy Marshall Williams last night ordered the room in the Columbia College building to be | prepared. and Judge MacArthur, holding Ctr- eutt Court No. 1, convened it there this morn- ing. Mr, Architect Clark (of the Capitol) who is in Immediate charge of the building. was pres- ent last evening while the fire was in progress | and immediately gave orders on its extinguish- ment for clearing away the rubbish and for the work of repair to commence to-day. Conse- quently the carpenters and brick layers are at work to-day, abd in a few days at most the Court may resume {ts old quarters. ‘The oft of the register of wills was flooded with water but the records were unburt. There will be no Probate Court however until Saturday. i addition to proper credit to the fire dlepart- ment and police for good work, not a little is due to the employés of the several courts and officers in the building, who when they ascer- tained the building was tn flames, repaired there and worked manfully.

Pody-snatching if carried on at all in this } District within afew years past has been so quietly conducted as not to attract attention until Saturday night last, when it ay two Persons were arrested in the act of Topbing a grave in the potter’s field. The arrest and con- Viction some years ago of Christian, the resur- rectionist, arouged stich a storm of Indignation im this community when the dt: ‘ing details were pubiisbed in THE Stak with the contents of the memorandum-book kept by Christian, and which fell into the hands of a Sak reporter, that it was hoped nothing of the kind would be attempted here again. Several days since, how- ever. Mr. Geo. A. Caswell, intendant and com- misstoner of the Washington almshouse, be- came aware that a panel of the fence inclosing the potter's field had been removed and two bo- dies stolen. The graves were opened in the night, and the next morning they were found left open, with pieces of the coffins and of the grave clothes scattered around. Orders were yiven to have this enclosure watched every night and a report made to the intendant every morning. Saturday night word was sent tohim that a covered wagon and two men had passed down the road leading to the ceme- tery. This was about § o'clock. Mr. Caswell’s men received their orders how to proceed, and were stationed so as to prevent the escape of the men, and all slowly opproached the enclo- sure, where it was discovered that the robbers had dug down to a coffin some four feet_ below the surface. ‘They were both at work digging when Caswell called upon them to surrender. At the same time all of his aids rushed upon the depredators at the sare moment, and they were thus easily secured. It was then found that one Was a white man and the other a color d man. The white man gave his name as Jun Spedden, 40 years old, and said he had been in the business for more than ten years. He said he would soon be released from arrest and wou d return to the business again. The colored man gave the name of Richard Tilghman, 25 years old, had never before been engaged in such « job, but had been hired in this particular case. They were by direciion of Mr. Caswell turned over to the police, and were seut to the elghth precinct station. The tools and implements were selzea by Mr. Caswell. They were two spades, grappling Irons, a hatehet and a stout canvas bag. The horse and wagon were also retained until the owner calls for it. Spedden would not talk much, but spoke confidentially of getting easily out of the difficulty. It is thought that he halls from Baltimore, and had been engaged In most of the large cities for several years in this business. The bodies these men were after were those of colored persons who had been recently in- terred in the pottef’s fleld. It was ascertained to-day that the horse and Wagon belong to one Jansen, who was several years ago arrested by Detective McDevitt with Billy Forrest, the noted cracksman, who was re- turned to the authorities of Illinois and is now serving time in the Joliet prison for house- t breaking. was at that time believed that. Jansen was traveling with Forrest, but_he was released, and since that time has been living in this city, and, sofarasis known, conducting himself in a quiet and honest manner. The implements used by the resurrectionists were at the Police Court this morning. Spedden first gave the name of Jansen, but afterwards ad- mitted that his right name was Spedden, and that he was in the employ of Jansen. tis well known amovg the police that Jansen has been employed to furnish cadavers for the medi colleges in this District, but, with the under- Standing that he was not to disturb the ceme- terles. ‘The fact that graves in several of the cemeteries had been tampered with was made known to the authorities, and Jansen was sent for, but degicd that he had anything f® do with it, Stating that the colleges had all closed and he had suspended operations for the season. IN THE POLICE COURT TO-DAY Spedden and Tilghman was called up, when M Sweet, for the ‘prisoners, moved a’ postpon: ment of the bea ng Saying there were several Intricate points of law to be inquired into. Mr. Padgett thought the hearing should proceed, the charge was laid on a violation of an act en- tirely within the jurisdiction of the Police Court. The court decided to proceed, and Mr. Caswell, commissioner and intendent of the Washington Asylum, took the stand, and gave testimony to the effect as above stated. He said when they reached the potter’s fleld these men had parti- ally unearthed two coffins, and the ld of one was broken off, They made their entrance in- to the grounds by breaking away a portion of Martin, alias Reddy Welch, driver of the dead wagon for the almshouse hospital, tes- Ufied to about the same effect, and another em- ployé also gave testimony. Welch testified that Spedden said he would soon be back, and get the bodies they were after. Mr. Ps t read the act relating to burial grounds, fixing a pen- alty of not léss than $3, nor more than $20 for aisturbing or di: ee fences or graves. The court imposed a fine of $20, or 90 days in jail. An appeal was taken, and bonds fixed at $100. THE PRISONERS were sent back to the cells. Spedden ts a short, thick-set white man,with a scar across his nose, and bas a down-cast look, as If ashamed of him- self for being engaged ih so mean a business. Tilghman Is a very tall, broad shouldered, col- ored man, very black, and 1s decidedly the'best specimen of the two.’ Jansen will not probably ey tale Sunday at the Jail. — SOMETHING ABOUT THE CONDEMNED MEN AND OTHER PRISONERS. Judging from the number of visitors at the jail yesterdgy that institution fs a very popular one. This was partly owing tothe fact that the day fixed for the execution of Stone, con- victed of the murder of inis wife, ts rapidly ap- proaching, and some of the visitors expected to see the scaffold in place. The gallows, al- though ready to put together, had not yet been Drought out however. It will require but a few hours to put it in place when required. THE CONDEMNED MAN. Stone is now in health and appears per- feclly resigned.

There were at the jail yesterday many of the friends of A. E. L. Keese and Police Officer Howell, who were sent down by Judge Mac- Arthur for contempt of court on Saturday—the first for 30 days and the second for 20 days. They both appeared in good spirits and were kept quite busy greeting their acquaintances. Mr. Howell states that he has a room, but would rather be out than have his name borne Ee connected with the transaction, as he was ! not present. A Novel Petition. To-day, & couple of ladies appeared at the City Hall, and, presenting to one of the officials the following memorial to Congress, asked him to obtain some signatures thereto: “Whereas the death penalty is not reformatory, precludes the pessibility of reformation, and is so cruel, barbaric and revolting to the feelings in the present age that it is seldom enforced, and there- fore has ceased to be a terror to evil’ doers, and whereas, from information in our possession, we belleve the crime of rape to be more frequent in this District than 1s usually supposed, and whereas the death penalty for the crime, if en- sorced. would generally result in the murder of the victim, and whereas the reformation of criminals and the prevention of there propaga- tion is in harmony with the pi sion and humane spirit of the 19th century, therefore, for the immediate protection of the women ‘and children of this District, we appeal to your hon- orable body to enact alaw providing for the cepa of criminals convicted of the crime of rape.” A number of signatures were obtained, the incentive being that a rape case was on triai xt the t'me In the Criminal Court. —$—— Amusements, &c.

When the new rules were pending In the | House for its action, the District of Columbia | committee held a meeting and discussed the juestion whether they should antagonize so fhucn of the proposed rules as abolished what is known as District of Columbia day, (the third , Mon in each month), or offer an amend- ment to the retention of those days, which after two o'clock in the afternoon gave the District committee the undisputed claim the floor. The subject was with a good deal of earnestness by the committee, and a decision was reached tuat the committee would not insist on the days heretofore ac- corded it by the old rules, but would take its chances with the other standing committees of the House. It is to be doubted now if there is a single member of the District committee who | does not think a mistake was made in not in- sisting upon the old rule which gave the Dis- trict committee its recognition on days set Fy for District bi ‘The new rules have been in force more than a fortnight, and the ex- perience of their operation demonstrates that they will work to a disadvantage, especially so far as the consideration of District matters by the House is concerned. All of the committees thus far called in advance of the District committee have loaded the calendar with sufficient public business to engage the attention of Congress for months, and when the District committee is reached it can only report its business to go on the calendar, and atthe foot of the great number of bills with which the calendar ts already loaded. In view of this unfortunat«® condition of affairs, the chances for any legidation of real benefit to the District are exceedingiy slim. The new muni- cipal code upon which the full committee spent more than a half month, and a sub-committee more than two months, wili hardly have any otter consideration than to be reported and go tothe House catacombs—the calendar. - An- other impoitant bill, and one in which Prest- dent Hayes and Chainman Hunton take a spe- cial interest (the bill to imprdve the Potomac channel) will also be jeopardiaed unless, iadeed, Chairman Hunton succeeds tn ‘having the com- mittee on commerce put an appropriation for the commencement of the improvement in the river and barbor bill. Right here it ought to be added in parenthesis that the District has no better friend than Gen. Hunton, and it embar- rasses him more than enough (0 realize that the existing rules of the House preclude him from doing for the District What ought to be done. There is one bill pending, however, which will be passed under a suspension of the rules on some Monday nct toofar in the future—that is the bill to increase the police force,of the Dis- trict. Speaker Randall will jotn Chatrman Hunton in every way in his power to advance this bill, and it may be passed on Monday next. THE BULLS NOW PENDING on the calendar of the House affecting the In- terest8 of the District are the following: A bill to locate and purchase a new site for United States naval observatory; a bill to provide for the increase of the Metropolitan police force of the District of Columbia; a bill to prohibit the publishing of lottery schemes in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes. ‘The Senate bills of District interest which are with the House on their final and second read- ing, is one to introduce moral and social science into the public schools of the District. This bill isthe one concetved by Senator Burnside, of khode Island. Another is the biil to amend an act to reorganize the courts of the District, ap- proved March 3d, 1563. THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS. ‘The District of Columbia committee of the Tiouse is now engaged in reviewing and revising the egtimates of the District Commissioners for the support of the District for the next fiscal year.

The Senate Distuict committee to-day agreed to report adversely the bill to incorporate the Suburban Street Railway company, Quite a discussion took place upon the subject of street railways, which indicated that the committee are not inclined to grant any new charters, except, perbaps, in cases where companies are ready to prceen without delay in the work of construction, It is apparent that no charters will be granted to be held indetinitely eitner for speculation or with the view of building in case it might appear profitable. The committee are also averse to having any more double tracks put down on the same street. The proposed charter of the Suburban Railway gave it right of way over numerous streets. The bill was re- ported adversely to the Senate. ‘THE DISTRICT ESTIMATES. ‘The House committee on the District to-day completed the revision of the estimates sub- mitted by the District Commissioners for the support ofthe District for the next fiscal year. The revised estimates will be referred to the committee on appropriations for incorporation in the sundry civil appropriation bi. The Dis- trict committee have made but few changes in the estimates, and have increased some of the items, notably for the support of the Metro- politan police force. CITY ITEMS.
