ACCIDENTS. yesterday morning as Mr.. Ala
Bean, of Bar Mills, driver of "a bread cart for
the bakery of Mr.. E. Douglass, was about
starting from the bakery on Cumberland
street, his horse took fright from the cart strk-
ing his heels probably in consequence of be-
ing imperfectly tackled-and ran down Chest
nut street across the railroad track, when. in
attempting to turn, he brought up against a
stone post, throwing Mr.. Bean from the cart
and bruising him badly in the face and on his
body. MIR. b. was able TO walk back to the
bake house, his face covered with blood, and
complaining of bruises. No bones appeared
to be broken. He took the cars immediately
for Bar Mills, so that we are unable to state
the extent of his injuries
Yesterday noon, a boy about II years of age
named Edward i. Williams son of Mr.. Edison
Williams, fell from the timbers of the second
fioor OF the house which Hon Charles Holden
is erecting on the corner of Cumberland and
W1lmot streets, a distance of about Is feet
striking htszbarir
lower hoor. He was taken up almost lifeless
and carried home; but it was found that no
bones were broken, though he was internally
injured, but not to fatal degree ,-.sa

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Total Destruction of the
CLASS Works.
LOSS OVER 100000

A little after 10 o'clock last evening the
watchmen in the Glass Works discovered fire
in the carpenters room, Immediately over the
lear or furnace for baking the glass ware after
it is.blown.2 The fire originated from a defect
in the furnace, as is supposed. So rapid was
It's progress that the watchmen and others who
came to their assistance, could do nothing to
stop it, and the general alarm was given. The
watchman of the Forest City Sugar Refinery
ran out the hose of that establishment and set
the engine at work, getting the first stream
upon the fire and doing essential service in
protecting the sheds in front of the works.
The steam fire engines were soon on hand. but
all their efforts were vain. The fire swept with
awful rapidity through the buildings which
were four stories high, and nothing is left
standing but portion of the walls.
Some OF the glass ware in the lower part OF
the building was saved; how much is not vel
known. The whole loss will be more than
100000, on which there is insurance, so far as
We could learn last night, of $50 900, in the
Lorillard, Standard, Connecticut, Hartford
Narragansett, Putnam, Enterprise and other
offices.
The fire is sad blow, not only to the com.
pany but also to those employed. By it, 100
persons are thrown out of employment, and
just at the season when they were making ar.
rangements for the winter. 1t is a hard case
for them.
The Glass Works have been in operation
three years, and their products have taken
rank with those of the first manufactures O.
the country, and they were doing an excellent
business Large sales of their wares have re-
Gently been made in New York. and the ut
most working capacity of the establishment
was required to fulfil orders. We trust tho
stockholders will not be discouraged by thei
loss, but will go to work Immediately in clear
ing up the ruins and rebuilding the works.

A MORNING paper keeps standing
at the head of its columns in conspic.
uous letters the following:
Largest circulation Of any paper in
Vest Tennessee. Largest city circula-
ton"
Now, if this is true, we have no right
to say one word on the subject But if
it is not true, it is not right that any
other paper should take from us the
credit and reap an advantage which be-
longs to the LEDGER. The public, whose
advertising patronage depends much on
the circulation of newspaper, is enti-
tied to know the facts And the paper
which pretends to the largest circulation
should be able to establish it. We pub
lish that the LEDGER has the largest cir
culation. We think it is three times as
large as that paper. So that one of us
is mistaken. Whichever it is should
take down the horns. And we now offer
to pay over to Col. Kerr for the Fanny
Thurston fund one hundred dollars if our
whole circulation does not exceed that
paper t,0o to one, provided only the pub
fishers referred to will do the same if it
does--to be determined by selection of
mutual friends as judges. Thus the
truth will appear, and charitable fund
be increased in either event.

DEAR SIR: AT your request have the
honor herewith to inclose you copy of
the st. Louis Health Bill, as passed by
the last legislature, and entitled, An
Act for the Preservation of the Public
Health in the City of St. Louis: "
The health of our city is remarkably
good for this season of the year, and the
exemption of our city from edidemic dis
eases is in a great measure due to the
practical workings of our new Health
Bill" and the energy of our Board of
Health in enforcing due sanitary mea-
sures under its provisions.
Very respectfully,

A HOTEL CLERK ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
BY PoLIcEMAN.-About lO1 clock last
night, officer Chamberlain started from
the levee with prisoner, who, when
arriving on Adams street, near the
Worsham House, attempted to escape.
After vainly endeavoring to overhaul
him, the officer fred at the fugitive The
ball missed its aim, but struck Mr. L. p.
Phillips, clerk in the Worsham House,
inhicting slight flesh wound. In no
ticing this affair we cannot too strongly
condemn this disposition on the part of
some of the police to shoot, when shooting
may not only endanger the lives of limo.
cent parties, but is not warranted by the
nature of the ofense. A month or two
since, upon the refusal of hackman to
stop his horses when ordered, police
man fred several shots at him. This
occurred on Main street in daylight, and
the offense was of some trivial character.
Certainly, no officer is justified in shoot
ing down petty offender who, when
either intoxicated or under the influence
of great excitement, may not promptly
obey summons to halt" We com.
mend zeal in our police, and never fail to
award praise when just; but there is
such thing as overstepping the mark
the two instances mentioned above being
striking illustrations of the fact.

THE former visitors to Spechts "a
nous confectionery, on Madison street,
would find it difficult to recognize in the
present interior Of the building any
traces of the late fire. The spacious
establishment has been repaired in every
part, but special attention has been paid
to the ice cream saloons up stairs The
spacious room heretofore known as the
saloon has been sub.divided into two
saloons, one for gentlemen, and another
for ladies'. Both have been most ele.
gantly frescoed and redecorated, and now
present an appearance as charming to
the eye as credtabie to the genius and
taste of tho artist who designed and
executed the work. The large saloon in
front, designed for ladies', has been beau
tifully frescoed. Garlands Of flowers
form the borders and centers, and fine
representations Of the four seasons in
bas relief ornament the corners. The
walls of the gentlemen's saloon contain
four paintings-one Of Mr.. Specht' S
residence and grounds, south of the city,
one Swiss landscape scene, and the
others German city views. The com
pletion of this work has entitled Mr..
Spechts to the rank of the finest saloon
in the South. Prof G, d. Rossi, who is
still engaged in giving the finishing
touches, designed and executed the work.
He is an artist of whose excellence the
saloons furnish the most ample evidence.
Our old friend, Mr.. Specht, is still alb
sent in Europe, health seeking and
making purchases for the establishment,
which is now under the efficient manage
ment of the we'll known and popular Mr..
John Yarbra. l52
