VOL. XVII.-NO: 94.
Narrow Earape of An Old Landmark
from Dtitrneilon bjr rira.
The old "Mechanics Hotel," located on
Front, between Orange, and Ann streets,
called by some Seventy-Six," said by
others to have been at one time the head
quarters of Lord Cornwallis or some of his
subordinates during " the days that tried
men a souls,", and known by people gnn
erally as being almost the only landmark of
the olden times now remaining, having
thus far .withstood the insidious innova
tions of improvement and progress that
have levelled and wiped out so many: of the
old, dilapidated and wornout relics of a
by-gone age, came near losing its identity
and significance forever, in a vortex of
smoke and embers, on Tuesday nieht.
It appears that Mr. W. G. Fowler, the
owner of tbe property, who resides nearly
opposite the building in question, which
has for some time past been untenanted,
happening to be up about midnight and
casting bis eye in that direction, discovered
a light burning in the house. Hastily re
pairing thither, be found one of the rooms
occupied by the well-known colored indi
vidual, usually designated as "Crazy
Tenny," who, with a colored j com
panion iwho ran ! and secreted himself
upon Mr. Fowler's appioach, bad torn loose
a lot ot boards, many of which were scat
tered around, and started a rousing fire,
which was rapidly communicating itself to
the combustible material with which it was
surrounded. Mr. F. states that if be had
arrived twenty minutes later the bouse
would have been in flames, and thus much
valuable property in the vicinity would
have been endangered.
We are glad to learn, in this connection,
that Mr.. Fowler designs tearing down ibis
old building very shortly and erecting on
the site thereof tome good and substantial
frame buildings.
As for old " Tenny," who so narrowly
escaped causing what might have proven in
the end a destructive confiagratioa, we
thiuk it w ill occur to our authorities that he
sliould be provided for in such a way as to
guard against his indulging iu such danger
ous practices in tbe future. He was con
fined iu the building lor the insane at the
County Poor House for some time, from
which he seems to have been : lately re
leased. . '
Since writing the above we learn that,
upon complaint made by Mr. Fowler,
'Tenny" Mcllbenuy; by which name the
party above mentioned is known, has' been
arrested on a warrant issued by Justice
Vau Amringe and will be sent to the county
asylum at the Poor House to await an.
opeuiug for bis admission at the State In
sane Asylum at Kaleigh.

Narrow Baeape from Uurnliie,
Miss Ann F. James, daughter of Mr. F
M. James, of this city, aged about 19 years,
met with a very narrow escape from burn
ing yeMerday morning. It appears that
about 10 o'clock, while engaged in super
intending a fire in a furnace in the yard,
which had been made for the purpose of
beating water for , washing purposes, ber
dress suddenly became ignited, and; by the
time she was made aware of the fact the
flames bad attalued sQch headway that she
could uot arrest them. With remarkable
presence of mind she refrained from run
ning, as most ladies would have done un
der like circumstances, but cried out for
assistance, while in the meantime she used
what efforts she could to shield ; herself
from, harm. Fortunately, her bister discov
ered tbe situation, of affairs and quickly
brought a bucket of water into requisition,
which was thrown upon ner and the fire so
nearly extinguished that tbe remnants of her
outside dress could be easily removed, when
the danger was over: ,' Had the young lady
been seized with a panic and attempted to
run, thus fanning the flames, the result
might - have , been t much t more disastrous.
As it was, she was only slightly injured.

Tbe woman, Mollte Dove, who was found
on Nutt street arly yesterday morning
bleeding from severe wounds received at
the hands of an unknown colored man,
was conveyed to the Poor House after the
hour of our going to press. Her condition
is said to be critical. It seems strange under
tbe circumstances that she should be unable
to say who ber assailant was, and the police
ard of opiuion that she could tell j if she
would. We hear that tbe colored men who
originally found ber, after tbe cutting, were
directed to the spot where 6he lay by a col
ored woman. Perhaps this woman, if
found, might be able to make somejstate
