J. . oe (ig FERS Over an Acre of Buildings in Ruins—Loss Less than $100,000—Suspected Incendi- arism. Boonton, one of the oldest settlements in New Jersey, suffered the most destructive fire in its his- tory at a late hour on Sunday night, the immediate results of which are the throwing out of employ- ment several hundred persons and the destruction of property valued at from $75,000 to $100,000. At the base of a hill, on which the town, numbering about three thousand five hundred inhabitants, is ‘built, are located the extensive nail works of Ful- ter, Lord & Co., covering from four to five acres of ground. : A branch of the Morris Canal rons through thé works. On one side stands the main factory, and on the other stood the lesser.or lower works—four ‘beparate buildings.

About eleven o'clock on Sunday night - THE FIRE BROKE OUT in the sawmill and spread with rapidity, eo that in @ few hours the four buildings and two store sheds adjoining were reduced to a pile of débria, together with machinery worth $15,000 and considerable stock.

The sawmill con- tained some bee machines and employed about fifty hands, About 1,000 kegs of nails were turned out per day. The amount of stook destroyed was tri compared with the loss in keg mate! rial. About benned staves were burned up. The total number ot Pranisen an epyes in the works was between persons. The works have been closed ‘Bince July 1. Last week the puddlers commenced ‘operations in the main building, and but for the fire all hands would have resumed work by the 1st of September.

Opera Bouffe at the Broadway—“La Fille de Madame Angot.”' Tye new op¢ra bouffe, by Charles Lecoca, “La Fille de Madame Angot,” was sung at the Broad. way Theatre last night, for the first time in this country. Mile. Aimée and her reconstructed com- pany made their appearance before a large audi- ence, and they and the new opera were very well received, The oper belongs to the school of comio opera rather than opéra bouffe, though itis not lacking tn some of the elements of the latter. Mile. Lange is not @ very instructive creation, and, dressed as the part is, according to the free ideas of the French revolution, it is far from being novel. Madame Angot, who 1s almost as mythical as Betsey Prig’s Mrs. Har- rig, 18 not @ model of virt even among Ashwomen. Clatrette Angot is a stupid nonentity in the lbretto, but a sprightly and rather mis- chievons bride, as represented by Mile. Aimée. The story of the opera is a frail framework upon which to hang the music. lairette, Angot’s daughter, is the child of the market, betrothed to Pompennet, a barber, but in love with Ange Pitou, 4 ballad singer against the Directory—often in jail for his singing. He sings a:song aimed at Mile. Lange, an actress, and ‘the friend of Barras” and Larivandiore one of her favorites. To prevent its repetition Larivandiere bi Pitou off, and, conse- quay, he is rich enough to marry Clairette. Un- rtunately, it 1s her wedding day. To dolay the m 5 ret vale the song hersel!, and as she is. ison the curtain falis on the first act. 6 second act takes place in the salon of Mile. Tania: and is merely an elaboration of the first, Clairette being released from prison Pom- pounes taking her while @ little intrigue is leveloped between Lange and Ange. with the introduction 0. some conspirator! the Directory, the curtain falling on an improvised waltz. In the last act everybody is enticed toa ball at the garden of Calypso, where Ange is awarded to Lange, Clairette goes back to Pompon- net, and, ag the curtain falls, it seems quite sure that somebody is to be married. Mile. aimée sung the part of Clairette with much of her old fire, and particularly in Ange Piton’s song she was greeted with great applause. Mlie. Stani, who personated Mle, e, 18 @ woman of more than oecheay: et but her musical powers are not re- markable. Mile, Oantreile, as aranth, claims some attention, because she sings the aria of Mme. t, the “beautiful fisherwomane.” Her acting is not ineffective, but her voice is utterly without cultivation and her singing is, like Mme, Augot, Very pretty, Baraat relied. M. Juteau, as Ange Pitou, was very acceptable, the role being a light and easy vue, well adapted to his powers. Deschamps, the tenor comique, took the part of Pomponnet. He has a pretty, be- cause almost a girlish, face, and he must depend upon it rather than on his voice for success, M. Duplan, who is also new to this city, appeared as Louchard, his “make-up” of the pollce Spy being more remarkable than singing. M. Duchesne, as Larivandiere, does the little he has to do very well, and M. Lecuyer, as Trenitz, does the same with his part, butis a little too sprightly in his move- ments to be very funny. The arias and choruses are, many of them, hee? pretty, and the conspira- tors’ song in the second act especiaily has the ele- ments oj Popularity, This gong, or chorus as it May be more properly called, is aiter the true Otfenbachian method, being at the same time both wild and subdued, grotesque and harmonious. It is the gem of the piece, and likely to insure its success here as in Paris, The opera is far from being What it was said to be—the equal of ‘La Grande Duchesse,” and it is presented in this country by artists of mediocre merit; but both the opera and the company are, nevertheless, the best we have heard for some years, Reopening of the Olympic Theatre—The Lydia Thompson Troupe. The Olympic Theatre was reopened last night by the Lydia Thompson Troupe with their new ex- travaganza, ‘Mephisto.’ Tho piece itself is one of those {indescribable burlesques which have neither beginning nor end and are interminable as to the middle. It is better than many of its predecessors, and this is something to be thankful for, though it must be confeased that burlesque, founded on romance or mythology, is in itself a frightful bore at best. But perbaps there is no reason to complain of the nonsensical character of the piece, since it 1s, after all, 01 sti on which to hang the specialties ihé “per. formers. These it brings to public notice as well as it is possible to bring them, and song aad dance and extrav: at behavior, sometimes coarse and often funny, follow each other in rapia succession. The new company is stronger than of old, and if some of the old faces, like those of Mr. Beckett and and Miss Weathersby, are missed, their absence is supplied by new people and fresh voices. Miss Thompson, though perceptibly worn to those who have followed her year after year, retains all her old vim and the dash and plquancy which have so often charmed. As Pluto sie is an exceedingly ood natured Emperor of Hades, and discards the imperial wives With the Le age sacle spirit of a chic: husband.

Pte A ale ee Minerva also made & good impression, and he bids fair to become 3 favorite ang thé admirers of his pecu- iat eke 1, Minerva's school is a little coarse, it is true, but it is useless to complain of that which is not intended to be fine when the audience ap- plauds. The four sensations—the Belle Helene (Miss Augusta ct: Camille (Miss Alice Ather- ton), Frou-Frou (Miss iny Bart) and Geneviéve de Brabant (Miss Mansfeld)—ate attractivel, dressed young ladies, but not remarkable beyon od looks and fine attire. The other immortals— calaphus (Willie Edouin), dressed in the style of Dickens’ “fat boy,” and Hermes (W. B. Cahill), a Greek god after the Irish pattern—were as gro- tesque as possible, and their brother gods in the galle: pronounced them very funny. The hhortels of this wonderful piece were Robin Adair (Misa Alma Santon) and Sa- charissa (Miss Camille Dubois), inhabitants of the enchanted valley, who play their little parts am the gods and goddesses very prettily. The introduction of the talking head and CM a is a mistake, this ratuer disgusting exhibition betng an element of weakness rather than of strength. They add nothing to the entertainment and detract something from it. As a whole the performance is very attractive one of its kind, the actors doing their best to please and gaining fre- quent and often very hearty applause. The music of “La Fille de Mme. Angot” is copiously sprinkled throughout the piece, and some of the songs and choruses are made very effective. The house was a@ large one and the success of the piece seems assured. Edwin fady at Wood's. A revival of the “legitimate” drama was had last night at Wood’s Museum, Mr. E.

The gallery gods turned out in iull force to do homage to Mr. Eddy, who has lost none of the popularity earned by him at the Old Drury, in the owery. Bowery Theatre—“Buffalo Bil).” Last night the patrons of the Bowery Theatre had a great treat, and they showed their apprecia- tion by crowding every part of the house. Buffalo Bill, ag the piay-bilis said, was “played by Bustale Bill himself,” and the piece has all the attractions for the lovers of the ro! tic, the sensational and the tragic, with just nough of comedy in it to save it from ing all burlesque, and to insure it. very successful run, Every act has a terrific Indian conflict, a flesh-creeping rescue, an overpowering smeil of burned powder and an abundance of real fire.

The engine struck the haunches of the horse attached to the Carriage, killing it and rendering the carriage & complete wreck. The names of the occupants of the carriage are James Anderson and Dennis Delaney. One of them was thrown a number of yards into a field, and the other was dragged along until the train was stopped. His body was horribly mangled. The engineer, John Day, stopped the train a8 s00n as possible and got off the engine to see what ‘was done.

A Construction Train Thrown Off the Rails by an Ox—The Conductor Killed and a Number of Convicts Seriously Bart, MARSHALL, Texas, August 2, 182. Last night, about seven o'clock, a construction train laden with ties forwarded by Dewey & Co., Penitentiary lessees, ran of the track a mile and a halr west of Glade Water station, throwing seven cars down an embankment, killing the conductor Mr. Kendall, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and seriously injuring others. A special train with medical aid roceeded to the acene immediately, and every- nine, pom ible was done to afford relief to the wounded, The following are the names of the wounded, as far as ascertained ;— 3. 5. Kelly, guard, cut all over. William Price, guard, shot in the thigd by a gan which exploded, James Smith, thigh broken, A brakeman, his legs broken, McD.

The account published recently in the HERALD of the disgraceful scene witnessed at the meeting of the Board of Education gave rise to universal com- menton the composition of the present Board, Last evening the memoers again assembled, when it was expected that the fight on the appointment of Miss Cook, of Brooklyn, would be renewed. Member Reid’s chair was vacant, as a protest against the refusal ofthe Board to appoint Miss Cook, who is said to have averaged minety per cent at her examination, Last evening, however, no action was taken in her case, and here, it is thought, the matter will end. Messrs, Crane and Edmondson, of the Oom- mittee on Teachers, who voted against tneir own nominee, have explained their motives for so doing. They aver that Mr. Reid said he would vote against one of those whom he had agreed to recom- mend at a committee meeting; that Miss Cook being a resident of Brooklyn, was not seen ey, well known in Hoboken, and that several politi cians who “lobbied” in her bebalf were not cal- culated to increase the confidence of the Board, She was advocated by Mr. Reid, however, in good faith. It is needless to add that Mr. Harp did not raise a breeze by proposing his friend again, he having received his quietus from the scathing de- nunciation by Mr. Reid of partiality in making such appointments.

While ‘they were together Wiley displayed §50 or $00 in greenbacks, After dark Wiley, who was in towg with bjs team, started for his home, in the towh of Glinton, Cookingham accompanying him, When some distance out on the Salt Point road Cookingham got out of his seat with the avowed intention of regulating the position of some empty barrels in the rear of the wagon. He ped no sooner got among the barrels, however, han he turned suddenly upon Wiley and dealt him two or three severe blows upon the head and neck with some sharp-pointed instrument, sup- posed to have been a knife, Wiley, with the blood Streaming from his wounds, jumped from the wagon and staggered, rather than walked, pa his ae en ree ing Gg bn and crying “murder, uc! ee Reieh- 0 2 jus Bereama, A Shotesta abt a pled with Cookinghan instautis and secured him, Wiiey was then attended to, when it was ascertained that his wounds, though severe, were not necessarily serious.

Saratoca Srrivas, August 23, 1973, To THe EpiTox or THE HERALD:— The Saratoga Rowing Association has received @large number of communications from various rowing clubs in regard to the amateur regatta to take place on Saratoga Lake September 11 and 12, in many of which the Association's idea of an amateur is misconstrued. We do not wish to admit any who can be objectionable to a majority of the amateur earsmen of the country, and, there- fore, deem it proper to state, in explanation, that BO person will be allowed to compete who has ever entered in an open regatta or has rowed or been willing to row for money since May 1, 1872, or has trained or taught any person in rowing or athletics for any compensation whatsoever. We iter from the definition adopted by the Convention of Amateur Oarsmen thus:—Our first clause is more strict than theirs, as it takes in the entire past. ‘The second clause ts the same as theirs, with the difference of May, 1872, in place of August, 1872, The third clanse a a with theirs regarding training in athletics.

HAMILTON, on W. A. COSTER, Qualifications, Kelley and Bagnall on the Tyne for £400. {From the Sportsman, Angust 12.) Yesterday (Monday) afternoon the great open boat match for £400 between Henry Kelley, of New- castle (the ex-champton), and Robert Bagnall, of the Ouseburn, was brought off on the Tyne, from High Level Bridge to Scotswood Suspension Bridge, according to such of the Thames National Regatta rules 88 were applicable, and in two new craft specially built by Messrs, Swaddle & Winship, of Scotswood. This match was arranged at the same time as that of a fortnight ago, in which Keilev easily vanquished James Taylor, Bagnall’s mentor, and the grand form exhibited on tnat occasion by the ex-champion tended to considerably tncrease the public interest in the competition under Notice. Previous to the skiffrace on the 28th ult. there is no denying the fact that that in open boats was considered by most people as @ foregone conciu- sion for the clipping Ouseburn sculler, Bagnall had never yet been beaten in any kind of craft, and had landed for his backers eleven matches olf the reel, and it was argued, thereiore, that Kelley, who was no leas than-seventeen years the sentor of Robert, was given a task amounting almost to an impossibility this journey, When, however, Harry's real form was shown and his rapidity of action, long, steady stroke, and grand use of the slider were noticed, there was @ complete chanve in public Oat and lots began to fancy that the youngster had his work set to vanguish ‘the old wonder,” as he is termed on Tyneside, Few Matches have, therefore, produced more pre- excitement, and the time during the ek seemed to ipeen wearily in the the friends of the opposing schools, the anxiety for the eventful day Was so great. Kelley continued his work from Mr. Gibson's, the Ord Arms inn, Scotswood, under the care of James Percy, and the pair frequently hada Tun down to Tynemouth for a bath and a row in the haven when the weather permitted. The day aiter the Kelley and Taylor match Bagnall dis- covered that he was losing streugth, and his trainer, the host of the Trafalgar, determined to ase him in nis work. The Ouseburn sculler, ac- companied by Taylor, proceeded to Harrogate, but returned to Tyneside on Monday last. In the in- terval occupied by their absence a telegram was received by the chief supporter of the Adelaide tating that Bagnall was no better, and requesting that no speculation should be attempted just then, This had a wonderful efiect upon the Wagering, and from 2 to 1 on Bagnall, the betting came evens offered. When, however, the Quseburn sculler arrived in Newoastle on Monday and his healthy state and good condition were seen, there was @ reaction his favor, and during the weck @ lot fs business was cone at iy oF ‘ on * Be oe he stipulations @ articles W he final Ueposit of £50 aside should be Panton telore tho first race between the opposing schools took Place, and acco! ingly the parties met so long ago gn 25, at James Taylor’s, tie Trafalgar Inn, ‘ow Bridge street, Newcastle.

Bagnall tollowed suit and appeared thick, muscular and well, Amidst intense excitement the men then took up their positions, and at g secoud attempt they broke Awa, excellent start. Bagnall commenced with @ great burst of speed, and before sixty yardg had been covered was leading by three-quarters of a length, Kelley, however, then quickened up, and rowing up level as they past the Mansion House, he, with immense reach and power, gradu- ally drove the nose of his boat in advance, until of Davidson's Mill he was a quarter of a length alead, Bagnall responded with @ fine effort and shot up level. He kept up the spurt for a little while and led by.balfa length at Wyllie’s Quay, which he held to the Skinner burn, when Kelley came with another dash directly after passing that point, and rowing up level in, @ terrific race resulted for the lead at the iheugh Bridge, about which there been some speculation. Bagnall steadily drew hs by inch ahead as they rowed towards the Pot+ ries, at which point fe was three-quarters of a length in advance ; but Kelley came again, and got oe a quarter of a length. This lead by great efforts Bagnall maintained until fifty yards below Redheugh Bridge, when he put on an extra dozen, and led through the erection by half a length. Time, 3m, 478, Directly they were through Kelley came wit purt and reduced the lead of Bagnall to two or three feet, and the race was continued with more severity to Cooper's stairs; Bagnall, on the inside, then reaped the advantage at the vend, and when they straightened opposite Hall’s boat- house he was three-quarters of a jenggh ahead, Kelley was then taking an indiffere! course to she south of the Commissioner's dredger, and when, a8 near as the distance the boats were apart would allow us to judge, Bagnall led peat the mile by a length and a haif. ‘Time, 7m. 203. ‘he favort jowever, had now to cross over to the south side of the Annie, and in doing 30 he lost @ little ground, but in order to make it up he put on an extra dozen, and led by a length at the foot of the Annie. Keeping up the spurt for an- other fifty yards, he improved the advantage to two lengths. Both men were pulling as strong ag their best friends could desire, and the race was not yetover. Bagnall maintained his lead of two lengths until a little above the head of the Annie, when he crossed over and backwashed his op: nent. This caused Kelley to drop half a length fur- ther astern, and, with a lead of two lengths and a half, Bagna!l passed the Meadows House. Time. 14m. 28. Immediately poet Meg Ail int Kel- ley, who would not be beaten, made another effort and reduced the lead to a length and a hall. Bagnall, however, drew away again jd, with an advan of two lengths and a balf, backwashed Harr, il the way up by the side of the Meadows. other rush, and redu length as they a wait replied aay elley, however, came with an- the gap toa little ever a roached Paradise Quay, but resumed lus former advantage.

Time, 27m. 18s, The ol adage thi youtn must be served was never more clearly illustrated than in this race. Bagnall rowed @ jt and polished sculier, quite good enough to row for the championship whenever nis frends desire to make the match. The stories afloat with regard to his illness were dispelied the moment he was seen in his boat, and we are rather inclined to think that he had little bit a) bia sleeve” at the finish.

Governor Leslie, some weeks since, offered a reward of $500 cach for the appre- hension of the Ku Klux concerned in the murder of the negro Wilson on the Knox-; Brown plantation, .but since that prociama~ tlon several other outrages have been committed.
