Nrw York, July 5.—In West Twentieth street, near Seventh avenue, is a structure kaown aa the Gramerey flat*, the mtmbertr' ot which run from 153 to 180. The janitor of the flats is John Van Deureen. He is tall, of slight but wiry build and 43 years old. He served during the war with the Ninth New York Vohmteors, and lo4t his right arm at the Battle of Antietam. His left shoulder is also partly incapacitated by another wound. He has been janitor of the flats for the past four years and bears an excellent reputation. Last Wodneeday was raat day, and Van Duerson collected from some of the teifants of the flats $310, which he paid in at his employer's ofHce. Later in the day, after the office had closed, he-received from other ten. ants (370 mora. This money be put into a wallet, which he kept in his trousers pocket In the evening he w«nt into the cellar to put oat tho lights and close the doors. The oellars of the Gramorcy flats are, as is usual in houses of the kind, open to the street to admit tradespeople, who sent up their goods by the dumb waiter, which is located in the rear of the cellar. " A flight of stone steps leads down to the cellar, in the rear of which thers is a door leading Into the tiMK Jfcrd. p jS * When Van Duencn went into the cellar of No. 153 both front and rear doors were open and the gas was burning dimly beside the dumb waiter ill the rear (ft tphe cellar. Everything seemed to be in good order, and lie janitor went forward to extinguish the .ight As his fingers touched the tap he saw a figure with upraised srm spring out from the recess of the dumb waiter. Bb fore the janitor could stop the involuntary motion of his fingers the gas light was extinguished, and the next instant ho was struck a blow upon the left temple with a sand club. At the same moment a second man sprang Through the rear doorway and threw a handful of cayenne pepper in Vkn Duersen's face. Uttering a bowl of pain the) janitor cloeed • with this second assailant, had as he did sq received another handful ot pepper ia ku I face. A fierce struggle ensued. "Hie janitor shouted for help, but none cam* During the struggle between the second assailant and Van Duersen. the man with the sand club rifled the janitor's pockets. A few seoonds later the janitor, bruised and exhausted, was thrown heavily to the ground. H strove to draw down the second robber witl him, but the letter's collar gave way. Vai Dueraen lay partially stunned. The two thieves made their way quickly to the frontdoW ef the cellar. Toronto, July 5.—A lira broke out In the* ■tables of the Mansion house at Port Perry, and hi three hours every business establishment in the heart of the village was a smoldering ruin. Not one mercantile establishment was left Not even a paper of pins can be purchased in. the village. The fire spread from the place of starting in, evory direction—north to Corrigan's stores, on Queen street, thence east to Water street, and two blocks south and west, taking in Mary street and Perry street, the latter on both sides. On Queen street It crosscd to the north siie, taking McGaw's temporary hotel, built on the ruins of the flre of November last, sweeping west to John street and north to North street When day dawned not a wall was left standing in the area traversed by the fire. It ia impossible at this time to estimate the losws, though they are put at not leas than $400,000. All the corporation documents were destroyed. The insuranoo may reach half the amount of the lOSS. Ohicago, July 5.—Delegates and politicians are not arriving in as large numbers as was expected. There are now in the city about 03 delegates find about 250 wirepullers. The hotels have begun to show signs of activity, the Palmer honse being tlie center of action. At the Palmer will ba the headquarters of thirty-one of the th'rty-eitfht states, of the territories, the nationnl committee, Tammany hall and of tlie leadiug presidential candidates; All the political schemes will be done at the Palmar, and there naturallv will the throng gravitate. The eatlierinjtaf the forces thus far is not sufficient tQ afford oven the most industrious interviewer data upon which to base positive statements as to the relative strength of the candidates. The fact most apparent is that if the slightest indication should lie received that Tilden would accept the nomination it will be tendered him by acclamation. Kven the supporters of Ben Butler declare that in such an event they will support Tilden.* It is almost equally agreed, however, that Tilden cannot and will not consent to run. The New York men declare in moot positive term* that they.know absolutely that Tilden is out to stay out. Notwithstanding all this a few insist that the. convention ought to nominate him and adjourn over night to await his decision. No remody for Oatarrh'has met with tnoh success as Papiilon Catarrh Cure; it never fails and does its duty thoroughly—not fagr relieving temporarily—but by curing permanently.

Cleveland Against the Field. CniCAao, Tuly 5.—The trains arriving in the city are crowded with persons interested in the coming convention. A. number o! special trains ai rived and others are roported on the way. The Washington newspaper special over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad carrying nboutj fifty rep resentatives of leading journals and the United Pross Association, have reached here. The correspondents speak highly of the roynl manner in which they were entertained by Mn jo» Pant;born and Mr. Charles Gorileii, assistant passenger agent, and suijeriniendont of telegraph, respectively, of the Baltimore and Ohio. The senate last evening postponed oondderable Of the postal telegraph bill until December. The bill for the relief of William McGarrahan was Indefinitely postponed. .

Syracuse, July B.—The celebration of the day here was characterised by a scourge of fire and casualties. Six times in nix hours was the department called to different localities, and each time the Are was caused iDy carelessness with firecrackers. In the midst of a surging crowd on East Genesee street a fire occurred, «nd the number of loud and deafening reports caused a panic and brought cat the firemen and a police sqtiad. The four-story building of Stinard, the confectioner and dealer in fireworks, was tie iegud for a few minutes with a continuous fire of rockets, Roman candles and other The whole house was soon flames, and despite the efforts of the was totally destroyed, together with H* contents. ,, The proprietor and an assistant and three ladv clerks escaped when the Ore broke out through the rear exits. Mrs. Ryan and three little girls in the store weife not so fortunate, but were rescued by Policeman Flynn. The other Httle girls from whom they were separated in the confusion .were also rescued. They were slightly burned and were conveyed home. Mr. Johr Horton, of The Journal, rescued Mrs. Mardock aud daughter from the second story. They were slightly burned. Anotlppr lady Mr. Horton rescued was almost suffocated. It is stated by Mr. Stinard that a firecracker thrown into a large sidewalk display of fireworks cans ?d the fire. The person who threw It is known and will be prosecuted. The Day In Rerlln. BiciU.nr, Jill* S.—AinMfcans celebrated Iniepenca Day with more heartiness and display than usual. A grand dinner was given In honor of the day, and the praannonnced toasts were "Prestdfnt Arthur," '•ex-Minlster Sargent," and "The Emperor," in addition to the customary one to the day Celebrated. The two first were greeted with much applause, but all allusion to the recent Berlin incident were happily avoided. When the toast to the emperor was given it was- received with cheers and prolonged . clapping of hands. The guests all aroee and drank the Kaiser's health standing. *Anr FOWL The fact of next greatest importance which is apparent is that Tilden being conaideral out of the race, nearly all the delegations are Waiting on that of Now York. The choice at the New York delegation, if it can agree to have a choice, will* be the choice of the others—provided that ohoice is Cleveland. If it should appear that Flower or Bayard or indeed any other man is tho candidate upon whom the New York delegation can agree, the other states will not give to him their cordial support, as Wiey will do pretty generally should Cleveland be the man. Conversation with delegates reveals that such is unmistakably the case. The general expectation is that it will be found that Cleveland has the New York delegation.Great interest is. manifested in the expected arrival of the Tammany Hall and County Democracy followers, numberiug in all about 1,300 men. The advance guards of each wing of the party are now on the ground and are urging their preferences with great zeal. Probably one of the best informed politicians from New York stato now here is Alderman Tourney, Independent Democrat. The gentleman, in the interview with a representative of tho United Press, gave it as liis opinion that while Cleveland's strength might increase to some extent among the delegates, it would not go far enough to secure thp necessary two-thirds vote. When asked for his opinion as to the final result of tlie convention, Mr. Tourney said: '.'At the present time it is almost impossible to make a prediction with any degree of certainty. I should suy, however, that it now stands Cleveland against the field." I Absolutely Pure. In the evening the American! deToted themselves to firework* and dancing. This powder never vanes.

London, July' 5.—The i%eairence of the Fourth of July did not disturb the ordinary equipoee of London, but there were many private and semi-public observances of the day that were noteworthy and enjoyablei Both of the American exchanges on the Strand were fairly covered with banting and the stars and stripes were prominently displayed on many other buildings. jae-rji Many say that tho convention will surely nominate the old ticket and take a recess until Tilden responds. Should this course be fallowed and Tilden declines, there would likely be. a long and exciting session. •Senator Bayard's headquarters will be established in the ladies' ordinary in the Grand Pacific, the same occupied by the Biaine leaders. "Be careful, Jim," Van Duerson heard one whisper to the other, probably with a view to preventing his confederate from betraying uuy sign of excitement as the issued into the street. The next minute the two men were gone. Tlia Adjournment of ConffroM. Washington, July 6,—It seems to be tolerably certain that congress will clos6 its pressnt session by noon on Monday.

HAVMtSHiix, Mass., July 5.—The buildings of Taylor, Goo 1 win & C!%, lumber and coal dealers on Main stree', Bradford, Mass., were burned. Half ail acre of ground was burned over.

With blinded eyes and bruised body the janitor staggered out into the street He there met a little girl, whom he told to run for a doctor, and a young man named Currie O'Donohue coming up at the time. Van Duerson was assisted to his apapartments on the fifth floor of No. 160 Weet Twentieth street. Dr. Albert H. Little, of No. 15K West Twentieth street, soon arrived and found the janitor suffering from great pain in his eyes and frotn concussion of the brain. He will be confined to his bed for some tfay*. It is announced that the caucusof the New Tjrk delegation will not be held to-night. As a goodly number of the New York delegates are not expected to reach the city bofore next week it may be taken as reasonably C ertain that tho jneeting of the delegation win notoccttr until after their arrival The labor organizations of this city were again in session last higlit arranging the Butler demonstration, which is to take place to-night. It is now claimed that there will be from 18,000 to 30.000 men in line.

I do not cafe how they word it as long as' the principle it clearly enunciated.The Illinois platform is good enough for me, and I have no doubt that the convention will bravely face the ittue and voice the dominant sentiment of the party. Th D only states that are apt to have Protxtionists on the oommittoe on resolutions will be Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia,-Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and I hope the protective tariff men will bring in a minority report, and take the the sense of the convention upon the question. so that the real sentiment of the party may be openly manifested."

Two, however, are still stuck on Tilden. California was originally for Tflden, decidedly against Field and for Thurman as second choice. Colorado, though uninstructed, is set down for Cleveland. Connecticut was'originally lor Tilden, but is reported as leaning to Cleveland. Delaware, of course, is for Bayard, as are also New Jersey and Alaryland. Florida is solid for Cleveland. Georgia will come up nominally for Cleveland, but really, it is believed, for Tilden. 31m majority of the Illinois delegation may tDe set down for Tilden if he will run, otherwise for Cleveland. Indiana is for her Javorite son, Joe McDonald. The delegates, |t it believed, will support him loyally if there Is any chance for his nomination, and will Come to Chicago with the expectation that Hendricks will place him before ti le eon volition. But there can be no gainsaying the fact that Hendricks is sent in order that hC 'nay reap the usufruct, if any there be, of Abe sentiment in favor of the old ticket, and He on band to respond to any demand thai 0my arise for him. Iowa started out early foi Tilden and Hendricks, but is now reported as having decidedly Cleveland leanings. Kansas waa originally for Tilden and Hendricks, but Justice Field, then the second choice of twelve of the delegate?, now claims the whole eighteen. Kentucky is for its favorite too, Carlisle, and Louisiana knows no one but Tilden. Maine is for Clevelaud by resolution of its state convention.

Sarah Bernhardt') "MacMth" was produced at the Lyceum theatre, and was a dismal failure. The boxes and stalls were crowded, end many notable people were among their occupants, but the pit and the gallery were almoet empty. M. Kiuhedin's French version of the tragedy,divided into nine acts, is tedious and illogical in its sequences, and the stage management was so execrable that the tableaux with whiC$ all the acts end ware fre queutly hissed. Mile. Bernhardt's costuming of the part of Lady Macbeth was a marvel of historical accuracy, but was more statuesque than graceful. Her acting was powerful, but unwomaidy, and there was hardly a suggestion of that femininity, corrupted and overwhelmed Jby ambition, which has been held by English writers to be the keynote of Lady Macbeth's character as portrayed by Shakespeare.
