Nearly Four Bays Fighting with the
Flames.

The Chattanooga Herald of yesterday states
that the ventlating fue of the lockwood Coal
Bank caught fire last Tuesday night and burned
most furiously until Saturday, when, by the
most determined efforts, it was extinguished.
The flew goes up from the rooms below through
over one hundred feet of solid coal; a fire is
kent at the bottom of this shaft to stimulate the
draft and. it is supposed, communicated to the
surrounding coal. The rooms below being so
large, it was found impossible to shut off the
supply Of air from below, and the white blaze I
shot UP over one hundred feet into the air. The
plan used to extinguish the fire was to dig out
the burning coal from below and put it out with
water brought in buckets from the drain IN the
interior of the mine, some three hundred feet
distant Fifty men were kept at this day and
night, from Wednesday morning until Saturday
at noon.
The fire had penetrated over thirty feet INTO
the solid coal on one side, and only five or SIX
feet on the other, and to dig out this mass OF
red hot coal was terrible work Water had no
effect on it until it was dug loose, and the heat
and steam was suffocatng but the men, led by
Capt. Harris, the coal boss, worked with will,
and succeeded in saving the great coal property.
The heat was so great as to melt the slate root
which dripped down in waXy puddles, harden
ing into masses of lava-looking cinder.
The company are now erecting brick stack
outside of the bank, at the mouth of the ven
tilating shaft, in which the fire will be kept
precluding any possibility Of the fire coming
in contact with the coal again. The long dry
season we have had dried the coal so thor
oughly as to cause it to ignite. Ordinarily
through it, but this year has been so dry as to
stop this
Preparations for building the new furnace are
progressing favorably.

Lecture ON Judaism.

bled at the First Presbyterian Church, on last
Sabbath, to listen to a lecture delivered by Rev.
DR.. Karish, of Newark, New Jersey. The lee
ture was both interesting and instructive. Our
readers will pardon US for not following the
learned Doctor through period of 500 years
and enumerating all the changes and mudifica-
tons the ancient faith, judaism, has under
gone during this long time; more so from the
ground that the subject might not have proved
interesting to a majority of our readers. The
speaker, proving, his arguments by numerous
quotations from the Holy Scriptures, displayed
a great research in this kind of literature. for
which he is well known in the Eastern and
Western cities, where the larger number of his
cornIipionjsts dwell

Those Little Taps

When Squire Yardley in compliance with a
duty he owes his race, brought before the City
Fathers last Friday evening, the arrest and beat
ing of the colored insane man by one of the po-
lice force how was the matter treated? A po-
Hceman was called on for statement and the
substance of his story was, that pistol shot was
fred at the colored man to bring him to, las
though he were dog, and then "a few little
taps that brought the blood were administer
ed by the police officer. Is this the way to
treat insane men? Is it humane? And when
a colored Alderman tried to speak for his race,
was il fair to choke him off by motion to adj
journ? Cannot the colored man see how their
complaints are treated by the City Fathers

A Case of Distress.

For several months there has been sojourning
in this city family named Landers, said to be
from North Carolina, who are sincerely to be
pitied. The family consists of the father, who
is lame, his wife and several children, who had
been living in an old boat near the gas works
until the late food, when they moved out into a
shanty on the river bank, where the unfortunate
woman was delivered of child, which lived
only few days when it was taken with the
measels and died. The mother was also attack
ed with the same disease and seeing and plying
her unfortunate condition, Mr. VIM Chastine
had her removed to his house where she died on
yesterday at noon. Application was made for
relief to the County Court and a coffin furnish
ed. She will be buried this morning at half
past nine o'clock.
That such misery and want should prevail in
the community shows state of affairs to be de-
plored. 1t would be time better spent to look
after and relieve such cases than to waste pow
der and ball on a crazy negro.

COMMERCIAL.
WHOLESALE MARKET REPOF
CORRECTED DAILY By
j. w. GAUT,
Produce and Commission Merchant,
Market Place, Knoxville, Tennessee.

Z KNOXVILLE. Tenn. June p, 1877
Trade among the wholesale dealers and mer-
chants was pretty brisk last week. The album
dant crop of wheat has already began to have
its effect upon business of all kinds; and there
is every prospect for the fall trade being busy
one.
Many of the merchants of East Tennessee
are in the habit of purchasing their goods in the
East, although, we are happy to say, this Is not
so much the case as formerly; they are begin
ming to see that they can buy the same quality
of goods for the same price in Knoxville as IN
Baltimore and other Eastern cities. If the
tie merchants will only come to our city, they
will be convinced that our statements are true.
There is lively competition in all branches
of business and where there is competition
there must, necessarily, be low prices.
