means contriyed TO upset the boat.
The others all got ashore safely, but
Fox, although a good swimmer, was
drawn by tho strong current down
through the flood-gate ut the lower END
Of the dam, and when his body was

taerous warm friends.

ANOTHER pRsTRUCTIvR FIRE
AT
m Ashes.

At half-past 3 o'clock this morning
a fire broke out in the "Chinatown"
precinct, Virginia, destroying almost
the entire portion of that city occupied
by the Chinese. Tho cry of fire was
Immediately followed by the blowing
of the whistles of the Ophir and Gould
aud Curry hosting works, rouslng the
population from their slumbers and
bringing out the Fire Department
though strange to say not q Ere bell
sounded the alarm, and 1t was half an
hour or more from the time the alarm
was given before an engine was on the
ground prepared to work. The fire
started near the centre ofthe Chinese
block lying south Of Union and be-
tween II and l streets, and was I'M
doubleday the work Of an incendiary.
The building where 1t originated was
owned by G.. Downey, aud was vacated
only yesterday by one of the China
men supposed to have been engaged In
the shooting scrape last week, so that
it seems more than probable that it
was set by one Of their own number
for spite and revenge upon an oppos-
ing party. The block was mostly com-
posed OF one story wooden buildings-
OF the most combustible material, and
burned like so much tinder-so that by
the time engines Nos. 3 and 4, which
were the only ones at work on the
ground, had got water, the entire
block was In flames, and the fire had
caught on the west side Of II and
north Of Union streets. Once fairly at
work, the tiremen soon checked the
progress Of the conflagration westward
and then turning all their force on that
portion north Of Union street, In a
very short time had 1t completely ex-
tinguished. 1t seems almost provlden-
tiaE, that while the fire was burning
there was scarcely q breath Of air stir
ring, for had the wind been blowing
hard at the time, almost the entire
eastern portion Of the city would have
been destroyed.
The block south of Union street was
owned by George Downey, a MIR. Swift
and a Chinese merchant named Sam
Wing, while that north was the prop
erty Of Mr.. F. j. Demling, and there
being no insurance the whole Is OF
course a total loss. At one time the
fine stone building Of Mr.. +. j. Dem
ling, occupied as a grocery store, on
the corner Of Union and II streets, was
in great danger, the fire entirely sur
rounding It; but with the aid Of the
firemen it was saved with all Its coll
tents. While the fire was burning the
air was resonant with the shouts and
jabberings of the fleeing Mongolians,
while two or three sharp explosions,
supposed to be caused by liquors In the
cellars, and the unearthly sQuealing OF
a number of pigs caught and consumed
in the flames, added not a little to the
excitement. We did not ascertain the
number of houses destroyed by this
fire, but there were probably 4 hun
dred or more.

EDITOR News: It seems that the
editor of the Enterprise has taken a
very conspicuous position in the way
that he wages war, that will In the end
accomplish nothing against one, who,
as far as I can learn, befriended many
around hore, and 1 have not the least
doubt In the world, that II the matter
could be fully slfted, but that the war
like warrior who Is thus continually
hurllng his missiles, Of what he, no
doubt, considers total destruction, Is
himself, to some extent, under various
obligations to the n he now seeks to
injure. Aside from this point this
journalistic warfare is not particularly
entertaining to the reading public, and
should be abandoned, especially where
there Is no important point to be
gained. I wish to say. being an entire

no obligations whatever to either OF

down-trodden friend Of the people his
Just and honest rights, at the same
time casting no detrimental reflection
upon the unmarried character OF the

In the coming contest, principle,
qualification, and merit should DO
taken into consideration. not alone
financial wealth, and he that studies
mostly the interest Of the people, both
financially and otherwise, Is the one
who should represent us In the Senate.
TO my certain knowledge, labor has
been obtained In many instances based
on the result Of the coming struggle,
and both parties are determined to use
all their influence. both financially
and otherwise, to obtain the important
position. l believe In their using all
honorable means to accomplish their
end, but l say let the fight be carried
on fair and squarely, not allowing
any understrappers to come forward

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ON THE

Shortly after II o'clock A. NJ. today,
cur San Francisco kilograms were sud,

fire on the Central Pacific Railroad,
between Colfax and Cape Horn. The
great bridge across Long Ravine Is
reported destroyed, also the snow

demoralized we a get no other
definite information, but the fire is
evidently a serious one, and will cause
considerable interruption in the rail-

ENCuinE of Song.

We regret that the very unfavOr lble weather,
together with the shortness of the notice, pre-
vented larger attendance than the number
present atthe Methodist Church last night to
hear Philip Phillips in his unequaled singing.
The programme was excellent and was con
fined altogether to Chhrch and Sabbah School
hymns and songs. Mr.. Phillips stated that he
had been frequently solicited to vary his enter
tainment by the introduction of secular songs,
but had invariably refused. Those who heard
him for the first time have a source of pleasure
in retrospection that will not fade with the lapse
of years He leaves to-day for Greeneville and
is announced to sing in that place tonight.
Mr. Phillips will leave this country in July
next to spend several months singing in Eng
land under the auspices of the London Sunday
School Union, and when he returns he will un-
dertakc an engag cement in California.

Spencer Munson, Secretary. DR.. d.; benson
of Chicago, Deputy Inspector of the COMPANY
being present, was called upon to make soii si
marks. DR.. Benson explained in very Iorcl-
BILE manner why the Company was orgalIHeu ds
that by an investigation into the DuslneS: Oh
life insurance it was found that many nil 1Tl
of dollars was yearly taken from the west
and South by Eastern and Foreign companies,
and that the people might have the protection
sought. and at the same time retain their mil
lions of money at home. The wisest measures
for this purpose were adopted and the best men
sought out for the execution of the plans. The
brightest hopes of the officers of the Company
have more than been realized, evidenced by
the large volume of business secured. As an cX-
preston and the earnestness with which our
East Tennessee Stockholders have taken hold OF
the matter the following resolution was unanl-
mOusly adopted
We the Stockholders of the East Tennessee

The True Spirit.

The members of the Board Of Trade, at their
meeting on Tuesday night took noble ground
and manifested the true spirit with regard to
our Fair. They gave this institution the most
emphatic endorsement, and indicated unmis-
takably, their purpose to sustain it at all haz-
ards. This l knew they would do. They have
always done so. and now, when the 'puch'
comes, they will evince their earnest deyOtio 2
to the up-building of this crowning enterprIS'
by furnishing it with material aid.
OF course it was observed in the papers that
they passed a resolution recommending that all
the business men of the city convene on Satur-
day night next at the Board of Trade Rooms for
the purpose of inaUgurating rigorous measures
to place the Fair upon high ground and to make
il a complete success. This is good move and
will work out favorable results. Certainly our
business men will be on hand. Let the house
be crowded with them. A strong pull, long
pull and pull altogether will take us out of all
danger. Z. w. CHARLTON,

the stricken individual was cast in Herculean

KOme Merit Appreciated.

Our attention has been called to the re-publi-
in the Half Yearly Compendium, Of Medical
Science, of paper read last fall by DR. Swan
NJ Burnett, of this city, at meeting of the
Knox County Medical Society. The subject
was one involving the functions Of the internal
Philadelphia Medical and Surgical Reporter,
a weekly journal of high standing. The COM
pc7diuR is q half-yearly resume of the medical
literature of all nations, and the fact of paper
appearing in its pages, is an indication that it
possesses true merit. We are glad that Knox
Vile has among her professional men those who
are appreciated in scientific circles. The object
Of the County Medical Society is to afford an
opportunity to bring before the profession any
thing of special interest.
