employed in an Iron Foundry, who. in pouring
melted iron into a flask that was damp and wet
caused an explosion. The melted iron was
thrown around and on him in a perfect shower,

The FEsrIvAL-The success attend
ing the festival given by the ladies of the
First Baptist Church at 'Stillman Hall
last night was all that could be desired.
The attendance was large and the con.
tributions liberal. The oriyanist Of that
church, Prof. Winkler, and the leading
voices of the choir, Messrs. Feger and
Ennis, sopranos; Miss Armstrong, alto /;
Mr.. Holiday, tenor, and Mr. Wolcoot,
basso, were present and added decided
interest to the occasion by their excel
lent singing. The voting on the colors
was quite spirited, the Zee, the Belle St.
Louis and the Great Republic being the
contestants. The editors chair and
table did not excite so much interest, it
being understood that the voting'on that
would be closed tonight at II o'clock.
We suppose those interested preferred
holding off till that time. The voting on
the gold headed cane between Mr., Ham
ilton and Capt Marsh Miller was quite
animated. The cane will also be dis
posed of to night, and beautiful presents
to the Odd Fellows and Masons. Per-
sons feeling an interest in these articles
should bear in mind to be present to-
night, as they are to be awarded at the
close of the evening.

The GRANDEsr SCHEME, BECAUSE THE
SIMPLEST, OF MODERN TINES. Two
wealthy citizens bought yesterday 500
ticketss costing $25O0, in the first draw
ing OF the Southern Asylum, Simple as
the plan of operations of the Southern
Asylum may be, and rapidly as it com
mends itself to popular approval, there
are those who seem not to understand
the mode of conducting this peculiar
lottery. The company holds no blanks;
that is, there are no tickets reserved by
the company. If half million dollars
worth of tickets are sold there will be
half million dollars worth of city and
country property Cat time valuation)
distributed. The company makes for
the widows and orphans and itself the
difference between the cash and time
valuation of property disposed Of 1t is
the .fairest lottery system ever devised,
and SO simple that q child may under
stand it. Those employed to manage
and advertise the institution can hold
no tickets. They are intermediate agents
between stockholders and the public, and
their only business is to see that the asy.
lum is fairly and honorably managed.
There is list of magnificent property
advertised in another column. No opera
house and no pictures, but property as
sessed at its cash valuation, in the city
aud country, farms and town lots, and

This was for a purse of $500, mile
heats, and brought out Mollie Austin,
Cleburne and Maggie English. The first
named is the stable companion Of Fan
ME Brown, winner Of the two mile race,
and was named as the first choice at one
hundred to twenty dollars when they
came up to start There was some de-
lay in getting off, in consequences of the
manageable disposition of Maggie
English, who reared and fretted in a
most ill.natured manner when brought
before the crowd. At length she became
Quoted, and the three went of at an
even start. Maggie, however, dropped
suddenly to the rear and commenced q
series Of stiff jumps, which put her a long
distance behind at the first quarter.
Here the Scythian FLY got the front and
led the Hiawatha colt on the stretch two
or three lengths, which position was not
changed until the home stretch was en-
tered, when the black colt came closer
to the FLY, and both commenced a run
fer the line, which was reached by the FLY
two lengths ahead in 2:034. Maggie got
over her bad behavior and closed up q
big part of the distance lost on the first
quarter, and ran the last quarter of the
mile in good racing style. She was not
in time, however, for the distance flag
fell in her face and doomed her to the
stable grounds for the remainder of the
day. The second heat was very pretty
contest, aud stirred up the racing spirit
Of the crowd to the highest pitch. At
the start Cleburne bounded to the front
aud led the FLY full open length at
the quarter pole. On the back stretch
the race was very lively, both going past
the half mile side by side. On rounding
the turn, the colt slaekened a little, get
ting couple of lengths in the rear, but
be closed up some of the space on enter
ing the home stretch, and ran most
lively brush to the finish, losing in l;57f,
which was good time considering the
sandy character of the track.
