ANOTHER FEARFUL CA

shOeking Less ofLiFs and Great De-
strueaion of Prouarfr.


RICHMOND. December z5-Last night
was the cOldest for thirteen years. The
ground was covered with snow and the
| thermometer indicated g at quarter
/ past two O'Clock. This morning lust as
the porter had commenced waking the
passengers for the southern train the
Spottswood Hotel was discovered to be
on hre on the lower floor. An effort
Was Immediately made to wake the
guests and the scene became indescrib-
able. men were rushing about trying to
save their baggage, and women nearly
naked and barefooted ran into the snow
in the streets.
lhe steam engines were promptly on
hand, but the water being frozen, it was
some time before the water could be
thrown on the building. In twenty
minutes the flames spread to such an
extent that escape by stairway was cut
off, The guests then commenced leap
ing from the windows. P. p. Clarke, of
Philadelphia, steward Of the hotel, leap
ed from the third story, receiving fatal
injuries. The most fearful scene of the
disaster was the appearance Of Mrs.
Emily Kennearly, of Baltimore, the
housekeeper, at window in the fifth
story, with one or two other ladies,
screaming for help. The5hre companies
ladders were put up, but failed by two
stories of reaching the window. While
the hremen were endeavonng to length
en- their ladders the crying women dis
appeared in the thick smoke, and were
lost, the room Frightening up a moment
after with flame.
Up to noon to-day the only burned
persons whose names were known. are
Erasmus Ross, clerk of Libby Prison
during the war; Mrs. Emily Kennearly,
housekeeper; Samuel w. Robinson,
clerk with Enker & Bro; and Samuel
Hines, clerk with AIilhiser & Co. The
register of the hotel was consumed, and
it is impossible to give the names of the
strangers lost. Several have perished,
as there are about a dozen unclaimed
trunks belonging to persons from New
York and other Northern cities. The
weather was so intensly cold that the
telegraph wires In front Of the buildings
were covered with ice, and the fire
steamers encased in ice an inch thick
Among the remarkable escapes was that
Of c. Schefter, attached to the Office of
State Printer, who was in the fourth
story, and escaped by dropping from
window cornice to window cOrnice until
he reached the ground. He was badly
burned, however The correspondent
of the New York Herald had a narrow
escape. The guests lost all their cloth
ing, and the ladies had to walk barefoot
ed over the snow to phases of shelter.
The total losses amount to 5000, 900.
The insurance is mostly in Northern
companies. The business houses were
destroyed of Messrs. Branch & Currant's
crockery store, Adams Express Compa-
ny's Office, Howe's machine store, and
other smaller stores.
An incident of the fire was the ap-
Pearance of man at one of the upper
windows, paralyzed with fear, who sat
tearing paper into small peices and
throwing them out of the window, till he
fell back among the flames.

THOSE LOTS.

Speaking of the San Domingo contro-
versY the Cincinnati Gazette remarks:
Ofcourse we do not credit the scanda-
lous stories with reference to private
speculatiOns on the part of the President,
in this connection. The story in regard
to lots marked out for GRANT is too alb
surd to be seriously commented upon.
If he had lots there, he would not be
fool enough to advertise the fact by
erecting a sign upon the ground. The
President is earnestly in favor of the
annexation of San Domingo, because
he believes it a good thing for the
country. In this opinion people may
differ with him, and many will differ;
dut no one has a right TO impugn his
motives. In the absence of a particle
of evidence that would be accepted in a
Police Court, the charges against the
President should disgrace those who ut
ter them.

LEES SURRENDER.

A correspondent at Washington gives
the following account of Grants state
ment regarding the circumstances of the
Appomatox surrender. The statement
was made to the artist Clark Mills, who
visited the President lately for the pur-
pose of getting from him an authentic
account of the particulars attending the
surrender. to aid him in his proposed
work of the event in bas-relief for his
monument. The President said:
Lee came in with flag of truce, to see
on what terms we would receive his sur
render. stated the terms, and Lee said,
please reduce that to writing" l took
some manifold paper and made several
copies, and handed one to him, saying,
There, I believe that is about as l
talked. Lee read it and signed, and
then passed it back to me and signed
it. The manifold copies were then dis
tributed to several Generals. The trans
action took place in front of my tent,
under tree, and with little pine table
between us. To a remark of Mills that
he had seen pictures representing the sur
render as having taken place in a room
with carpeted floor, and in the midst
staff officers of both armies, Grant re
piled that the picture was gotten up to
show off the aids. That was more like the
turning over of the surrendered forces
the next day, but the real surrender took
place as above stated.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1870-12-30

Mr.. Curtis. the able editor of RaE6ey's
EEsekky concludes an editorial in regard
to universal amnesty as follows:
The Democrats, Of course, favor a
general amnesty because they know that
Democracy bred rebels, and that the
more an ex-rebel hates the government
and deplores its victory the surer he IS
to vote the Democratic ticket But the
Democrats should be a little wary in
their choice Of arguments. It is not
very edifying to hear the late lackeys of
slavery urging the principles Of Chris
tianity. And certainly nothing would
so soon persuade a man to doubt the
wisdom of amnesty as to hear the resi-
duary legatees Of ''the sum Of human
villainies" quoting the Lords prayer as
an argument for enfranehisement.
