Aooa* eleven o'clock this evening Are wag dls covered in the new car shops of the New York, New Haven * and Hartford Itall road Company in thla city, unci lh a lew momenta after tbe dlsouverv the entire building, which la 150 by 60 leer, was wrapped in the embrace of the nevortng element, * hlch draped forth its forked toi.gucs of flames irom the windows, doors, and through the root of the building, in an instant, making a hot lire which u was extremely diflicuit iur tbe firemen to handle. The building was filled with the most Inflammable ma tenuis, sacn as are used In car manulacture whloh burned with great rapidity, lu the build lng were two new passenger oars In process o."f paiutmg, two engine tenders and a dozen or so of flat and box freight earn, somo new and otiieis undergoing repairs. In ihe second story was a large lot of patterns of various descrip tions, which were of great value to the company, and whicn cannot be replaced for any amount of money. These will bo the great est loss to the company, who prized t hem very highly- The value of the building it-eli is $25,000. It was erected la 1874 from plans drawn by Mr. Bishop, the President of the road, and was com plete In all Its appointments. ESTIMATE OF THE LOSS. The loss on the entlro property will not fall abort of $50,000, and may rcach $75,000. un this there is an Insurance suilloicnt to cover the loss, mainly In Now York and Boston companies, who had insurance on tho railway plan on all the build ing! and rolling stock of the company on the interior line of roads under tnelr contract. Hart ford companies cscape without loss, so lar as can be ascertained, though it is possible that the Hartford is in lor a small amount. A FATAL ACCIDFNT. After the lire had been got under oontrol a sad catastrophe occurred which resulted la tbe jleaih of one of the firemen and the severe Injury ol two others. The heavy timbers of tne room in the centre of the building began to fall and the heavy beams pushed to the east wall, flnallv lorclng It over with a terrible crash on to tne building: occupied as a machine shop of a boiler room. In the gang way uetween these two buildings were assembled nearly loo spectators and firemen of the Stlllman H"se Company, who wore at work fighting the lire. The cr.v, "The walls are falling," aiosc, and all rushed headlong away irotn the falling debris excepting the firemen, who clung to tti?lr post, and were carried down by the bricks and timbfrs. One ol thern. Prank Herrlek, was completely burled irom surht in the mass, and Charles hubbard and Charles Haas were also caught In the rubblsn. Haas managed to get <>nt wituout help and eacaned with only a crushed loot and a broken lesr. Hubbard iia<! n miraculous escape, cue timners forming a frame over nlm, wmen prevented any serious injury lurther than seven or eight cuts on the body and nead. EXTENT OF THE INJURIES. But poor Ilernck was crushed by the Dricks and timbers, and wtien taken out presented a horrlole sight. Ills face was gashed, there were two deep cuts in tne back of his head and nis breastbone was broken and his chest badly lacecatod. One arm and one ice were brokcu. It is thought mat internal injuries wnich he received make death a certainty. Tenderly he was lilted oy th9 I rough rlreinen, who handled him as carefully as tney w ould a woman, and lie was taken 10 a place of saiety, when, as soon as he recovered partial ! consciousness, ne begged of his friends i to put an end 10 his sufTerinirs by kill : lng him.

Senor Coriereal Wounds Dr. Curtis and Then Kills Himself. A PROBABLY CAUSELESS QUARREL , A desp itch, conveying news that will astound a Breat number of peopl ? here, was "jjetved from Havana mil nlgnt. It states that on Frtday Ila-t a oubI was foogti t at the beautiful suburu of Marlauao, between a young New Yorker, named Dr. Alger uon Mdney Curtis, and a SpanisQ tobacco dealer, named Salvador Cor tereal; tnat Dr. wounded, ami that Coretrcal, believing that ho had killed his opponent, blew out his own Uoth the parlies are well known in New York. Tney were friends wnlle nere, anu to throw ilah upon the occurrcneo or the duel between the in it ! j, necessrry to tell something or tiielr peculiar characters and of the beginning of tneir courtesy. WHEN THEY HHfVr MET. l,ate in the spring time of 18.4 a Spanish gentle man, giving ills name *s Seiior Salvador Cortereal. arrived with his wife at a fashionable boarding I liouse in nineteenth street, near Fourtn avenue, wnero ne hired apartments, whlcti he chose to lurnish himself. It was dlsrovere,<' ?by otuer occupants of the house, a Cortereal had been in their company 10 a short time, that he was not a communicative man; but rather taciturn, and even moody at times. Still, he would very often engage in couvo; satlon at the table, ana at s cn times would prove by his reference* and quo tatlons that he was a man of talent, cultivated t>y travel and study. Mrs. Cortereal, an American lady, seemed to oe devoted to her husband, proud cl nls mental powers, yet occasionally expressing by her action that she was in awe ol him. THE DOCTOR ENTERS. Soon alter the arrival of Seiior and Mrs. Cor tereal at the house in Nineteenth street another but very different kind of a family party took up tneir abode there. This party was composed of l)r. Algernon Sidney Curtis, a young puysiclan without practice, somewhat dissipated, it Is said and seemingly without a well poised intellect; Mrs. Curtis, a youthful matron, who appeared to be stricken with sorrow by tne erratic life of her husband, and three very young children. Ttiere sprung up a friend ship between the two families, l'his attachment was apparently encouraged more by the almost simultaneous arrival of the parties in the house and tne contiguity ol their rooms tnan by any real sym pathy between them. Mrs. Cortereal ami Mr*. Cur lis, indeed, were naturally enough attached to each other, for both were members of wealthy New York families and upon meeting found many social topics ujJon which they were equally in formed. But the association of Seiior cortereal aud Dr. Curtis was a matter lor which no real cause can oe lound. 1 he latter was light In body, as well as in intellect. About iwenty-sn years of age. he was short and thin, lijht haired and blue eyed, his manner without a token of manliness nor ol healthy boyishness; he seemed, Indeed, an enlarged mianr, with leeble, dl-solute instincts, lie was a spendthriit, and glontled himself as a true gentleman, and therefore a being who should labor neither witn nis nanda nor his head, lie often | declared, it is said, tnat NO MAN WHO LABORED ! could be a true gentleman. Hence his only real business la life was to engage in freaks that brought sjrrow and dismay to his respectable parents an t the estimable mother of his cniidren. Mr Cortereal. on the other hand, was a strong, manly person, aoout five feet nine inches high, well developed, and with a dark lace, on wnioh intelligence was depicted. He Impressed every one witn the belief that he was a sturdy man, yet inspired very few with a <??lr8 10 friendly. He spoke English, French and German almost as fluently a? ne did his native tougue, the Spanisn. He appeared to be a man who lived very much within hlmseif?that la. he brooded, and hence was sensitive and suspicions. In him the fiery Spanisn nature was very fully de veloped. He was apt to take offence, mag nified slight omissions into great insults to Himself, and reseated them speedily and poweriuiiy. aim was a mai n?tural|J <rt>od at heart, and though he would do harm in bis auger, when his fit was past would quickly apnroa-n and apologize to tnose he haJ been embittered against. Mr. Cortereal, in fact, was a i assionate man. but a gentleman. Ho was en gaged in the tobacco business in this city, and nad a b auch establishment or agency in Havana. Sirauge as it may bo to the readers, incompre hensible as It was to the observers at the time, ur. Curtis aud Mr. Cortereal, during the two months' stay of the former and his family in the Nineteenth street residence, BECAME 0l}EAT friends. And alter Dr.? curcs aud wife left tne house Wj remained sucn. Mr. Cortereal and his wife continued to reside IB Nineteenth street, the lormer until last April, the Utter until the eany days of May. In the m?antimo Dr. Curtis called u on them veiy oiten. Ihe departure of Mr. Cortereal for Havana was very sudden, and he, thereiore. leit nis wile behind him to make all the necessary arrangements here for their residence in Havana for soma time. THE DOCTOR GOES TO HAVANA. After Dr. Curtis and hi* lamliy left Nineteenth street tney went to the country, and upon their return took ut> their residence in Sixteenth street, where they remained nmll abotit three weeks ago. At tnat time the youug doctor, wito was still frraK a. ever suddenly in.orrued Mr-.Curtis, luswiw.

WASHINGTON. Washington, Juno 7, 1875. THE BOBBEBY OF THE TBEASUBY?PRECAU TIONS FOB THE FCTUBE PRESCRIBED BY THE SECRETABY. The secretary of the Treasury to-day made a visit of inspection to the cash room of the Treas ury Department and other rooms where money is handled, wltn a view or malting some alteration In the construction of the de-ks, *c., for the bet ter protection of the government funds. The Sec retary gave notice to-day that irom and after this date visitors will not bo admitted to the Bureau of Engraving aad Printing, the vaults of the Treasury, or to auy room in the oulldmg in which monoj is kept or handled. The defectives havo not yet obtained a clew to the robbers. There is *ome talk of the Treasury offering a reward /or the arrest of tne thief and recovery of the stolen funds, but Secretary Brlatow has not yet decided to do so. In the reports of the Treasury robbery it was mentioned that Mr. Wyman, the cashier, was the ilrsr person searched by the detectives. It should be mentloued in this connection that Mr. Wvmau voluntarily presented himseli for that purpose as | an example to the clerks under his charge, who were also searched, that belnir considered by tho detectives the first thing necessary to be done. THE MAILS BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND NEW YORK THE* DIFFICULTY NOT YET SETTLED. The New York mall did not arrive aero to-day until twenty minutes past Ave P. M., Mr. Hiaek ( ley. President of the Philadelphia, Wilmington j and Baltimore Company, having declined to allow the postal cars to ruu over his road on the limited express trains. Last week President Scott in formed the Post Offlee Department that he would transport the mails between New York and Pnil adelpma by the limited express, and that he would do tne same between Philadelphia and Baltimore if President Hinckley would consent to such an arrangement. The Postmaster Gen eral had no communication with President Hinck ley on the subjeot, but as the malls were on Satur day transported ail tho way between Washington and New York by the limited express, lie ? supposed the question was settled. This morning vernal infoimation was received at the depart ment from the mall agent tnat the carrying of the mans by the limited express on that day between Philadelphia and Baltimore was an act of accomo dation, owing to the detention ol one of the other trains. Tne Postmaster General says ne has no informs tion, written or verbal, that Presi dent Hinckley has declined to let the mails pass in the llnclied express over his road, but if Mr. Hinckley should to-day so decline he would mase a iormal request thai tho maiis be carried by tho limited express between Phlladeipnia an j Haiti ' more, so as to havo a continuous limited express mail transportation between New York au? Wash ington. LANDS HF.SF.BVED FOB MILITABY PURPOSES.

J To Tn* Editor of the Herald:? Your lotter was lorwarded to me from Loula vllle. I have not seen General ft&erman's book, but i have read extracts lrorn it and varioui notices of it, among tlnm the Hekald's review. The peculiarities of the author are suffl .lentlj marked to give assuranca that as often as h< spe iks rhere will be abundant room for crlilcUm so ipucn, m fact, ns almost to bewilder criticism. 1 do not know what amount of attention his recent work bestow* on my acs. What I havi seen on that subject relates to the battle ol Shiloh, ana is In substauc; only a continuation ol bls#former efforts to conceal ihe faults and mis represent the facts of that bntle. I long age answered his assertions concerning that ereni with evidence that must, I believe, be deemed conclusive when the account comes to be bal anced. I concur in your view that it is desirable that those who had any prominent part in the wai siiould now put on record their reminiscences la regard to it, and It Is probable that General.Slier man's example may stlraulato that object. Much trashy matter win no doubt be thrust into print, but u will not all bo without Interest to tne public, and irom the mass some useful miterial will be lounu lor history. I? will not be wttnoul value If it does no more than give some new in sight to the qualities of the writers themselvos. If I could fee I sure tnat I might be one of the usefn. contributors I have at this moment scarcely time to undertake the work. I must, at any rate, defei It a little while. 1 beg yon, however, to ac cept my thanks for your courteous and generoua offer of access to the columns of tho Herald.
