The basement was occupied by Geo. W. JACOBS, furniture-polish manufacturer, in whose premises the flames originated. The first floor i= s occupied as a bar-room and restaurant by E. SCHOLICH, whose loss is estimated at $3000. The second-floor is occupied by E.P. COOLEY, broom manufacturer [and the] third-floor is occupied by a man named KINNELLEY, picture-frame maker. The building is owned by Wm. SCHROEDER. A Female Drunkard Suffocated At 12:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a fire occurred in the attic of the two story and attic building, No. 231 Church-street. It appears that Kat= e DEVERE, aged 34 and a native of Ireland, lived in the attic with another white woman named Fanny HARRIS, where they cohabitated with two colored men, named David HARRIS and Wm. BLOOD. These women were seen in the stre= et about an hour before the alarm of fire, in a grossly intoxicated conditio= n. When Charles ALLEN arrived on the scene he found the women lying on the floor near the stove in a helpless condition and he at once dragged Fanny into the open air. Kate was not extricated until death from suffocation had ensued. Cruelty by a Police Sergeant At 10 o'clock on Friday night Officer JACOBUS, of the Fifth Ward Police, found Dr. Augustus DIECK, of No. 219 West SEventeenth-street in West Broadway in an intoxicated condition. He took his prisoner to the Leonard-street Police Station, where Sergt. CHRISTIE was in charge. Although the intoxicated physician had his left leg broken just above the ankle, the Sergeant oredered him to be locked up in a cell, and the unfortunate gentleman was tehn compelled to remain in torture in a cell f= or over eight hours. Justice HOGAN called up Officer JACOBUS, reprimanded h= im for such cruelty and ordered him to take Dr. DIECK in a carriage to his home for medical treatment. Of the many cruel acts by officers of the Police, this is surely one of the most outrageous.
