THE ELLA POTTER EXPLOSION
Col. Gutherie informs US that at first
in the investigation of the cause of
the explosion of the Ella Potter, he
found the sole blame to be with the
engineer, who has paid the penalty
with his life. New evidence was dis
covered on Saturday, however, which
seems to implioate the Captain, who
was seriously injured. Col. Gutherie
left for Louisville on the TarascoR
Saturday night, and will lay the tes-
timony before the Local Board for
their decision. 1t was discovered
that the fue had been for some time
defective, having been previously in
jured from want of water, and was
considerably .'bagged3'1 This was
known to the engineer and Captain,
but was unknown tolthe owners. 1t
was the duty Of the engineer and
captain to have had the defective Aue
repaired. The neglect cost one his
life, the other serious injuries, and
liability in a civil suit to the friends
of those killed and injured for dam
ages. 80 Il

Destructive FIRE-On Saturday
morning, a little before 4 o'clock, a
dwelling house on Franklin Avenue
between First Avenue and Oakley
Street. was discovered to be o. fire.
The alarm being given. the engines
we're speedily on the ground, but
there was some delay il adjusting the
nozzIes, and the building being OF
wood, the flames had completely en-
veloped it before water was got on,
and with all its contents the house
vas completely destroyed. The build
ing was a one and a-half story frame,
owned by George Thumeyer. and oc-
cupied By himself and Peter Krupp.
The flames spread SO fast that the
occupants had hardly time to escape
in their night clothes, and one young
nan had his hair singed while yet IN
bed. Only a few articles of furniture
we're saved. The building was in
sured in the Office of the Indianapolis
Company for $1,000. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000 to $1,000. IF we are
rightly informed, Mr.. Thumeyer has
met with a series of calamities during
the last eighteen months that should
elicit the warmest sympathy Of our
citizens, having suffered in addition
to this loss of property, the far greater
loss Of five or six Of his children dur
ing the period mentioned above, hav-
ing buried one on Thursday or Fri
day last. The Are is supposed TO
have been the work of an ineendiary.

Removal of Southern Officials.

The announcement that the Governor and
/ Attorney-General of Mississippi had been
removed, and Two Of het'Iexotics "hadbeen
putin their places, excites the inquiry, What
was the cause of this The inquiry is su-
pererogatory. The removals answer the
question. The whole system Of displace-
ment of southern men from the Offices they
hold, and the putting in their places north
ern strangers, is to give the Radicals con;
troll Of the patronage Of the States, that they
may subject the southern people, through
bribery and corruption, to Radical rule
after reconstruction. This has been the
only object. Any pretext that may be
offered in justification Of, those removals is
only stinted concession to decency-s sort

ting the necessity of a pretext for wrong,

They have no sympathy with the people Of
