Nobody who knows Davy Giles, and

FIRE In EDGEFIELD. !.
A Carpenter shop and Large Frame
BulAdlng Destroyed.
The work of am lnesna,ary.

About O'Clock yesterday morning fire
broke out in the carpenter shop of 10 Pat
ten, Woodland street near the corner Of
Tulip, in Edgefeld. Owing TO the combus-
tible material in the shop, the flames spread
rapidly, and soon spread to the large frame
building adjoining known as the Stubs
house, which was in a short space of time
reduced to ashes.
The fire was first discovered by Mr.. Mul-
likan, clerk in the Postoffice, and Mr..
Overbee, a marketer fo- r. s. Miller, both
of whom were on their way to the city at
the hour mentioned. The fire was SO small
at that time, that it could have been ex-
tinguished with few buckets of warter if
the water could have been conveniently
procured.
By the burning Of the carpenter shop,
MIR. Patten loses about one Thousand dol
lars in tools, unfinished work and lumber.
In the shop were ten windows and three
doors, just finished, and intended for the
new Baptist Church of Edgeield, besides a
large number of sash, window frames and
blinds, intended for various buildings. A
fine mortising machine, with the tools, was
rendered valueless. Elijah DUNN and Len
McInturff, workmen for Mr.. Patten, lost
their chests, with their complete stock of
to- Is, and q portion of the stock of tools
belonging to Alvin Ragon, another work
man, was also destroyed. Several other
employees OF the shop were engaged at
work on the Exposition building, and fortu-
nately had taken their tools from the shop.
Mr.. Patten is one of Edgefeld's most indus
trious and 'enterprising mechanics, and we
regret to hear of his loss.
The large frame building adjoining was
occupied respectively by Bob Dortch as a
barber shop, Henry Hill, shoemaker's shop,
Wash Anthony, tin shop and DR.. Snyder
had an Office in the rear room adjoining the
carpenter shop. The upper story Of the
building was a public hall, and used fire.
quently by the colored people for balls and
festivals. A ball had been given by them
the night previous to the fire.
DR.. Snyder, we regret to learn, lost a
number of medical books. He is young
physician, and just commencing the prac-
tice of his profession; the loss is serious
one to him.
Wash Anthony lost everything in his
shop, including tools valued at $3.50 and a
small stock of tinware.
Henry Hill, the shoemaker, lost small
stock of leather, bis tools, some unfinished
work, lasts, bench, etc. A number of citi-
zens contrib uted yesterday to start him in
business again. ........-
Most of the stock of Bob Dortch was
saved. He lost some fifteen or twenty ice
cream freezers, and a wash stand. Bill
Chadwell, one of the BARRIERS, was awaken
ed BY the fire falling in his face, and had a
narrow escape.
The carpenter shop and other buildings
destroyed belonged to w. A. Cheatham,
whose loss will not exceed $500, the
buildings being old and somewhat dilapi-
dated. 1t is generally believed that The FIRE
was the work of an incendiary.

A THRILLING MISTAKE.
How q Traveller Convinced a Railroad
President that He had been Robbed
of n Ticket, and q Happy Discovery.

KE68hUShG bu6E ne Dau 0een AOODpfa
of n Ticket, and q Happy Discovery.
The oft quoted phrase, "He who steals
my purse steals trash,n found no sanction
in the grief of Mr.. VIM. Fl. Sprinkle, when
this gentleman, of Bolton, Cass county,
Mo-, landed at the Louisville depot, after
travelling from Lynchburg, Va. Repeated
nervous fingerings of his various pockets
convinced Mr.. Sprinkle that be had been a
victim of shrewd villainy. His pocket book,
containing $40 and four through tickets
from this place to Kansas City, Mo-, was
gone. His pocket had been picked either
at the Chattanooga depot, when he arrived,
or while going thence to the Louisville
depot.
Unfortunate mani What could he do,
penniless now and accompanied by bis wife
and two children, without a friend, and
hundreds of miles from his Western home.
OF all the faces that thrOnged the streets not
one was that of friend or even an &C
quaintance, and no kind look met the half
distracted gaze of the unfortunate man.
He CHANGED to strike officer Jack Head, to
whom he related his loss, and asked the po-
liceman to assist him. Mr.. Head used
every effort to find the missing pocket book
and went with Mr.. Sprinkle,to the Chatta-
nooga depot, where diligent inquiry for the
missing treasure was instituted, but in vain.
The policeman by request introduced Mr..
Sprinkle to President Cole of the Nashville
and Chattanooga Railroad, and this official
was asked for a pass over his road.
Being a stranger to him, Mr.. Cole assur-
ed Mr.. Sprinkle that he would cheerfully
furnish transportation for himself and fam
L. Id 10 Nf.a
rian could only do this by securing the con-
ductor's certificate that he had "thTough"
ticket over the road. Approaching the rea-
sons inducing this requirement, Mr.. SpTin-
kle fastened to find conductor House and
was escorted to street Car By officer Heald
Obtaining the required certificate from Mr..
House whom he found at home at the cor
ner of HIPS Avenue aud South College
street, Mr.. Sprinkle again went with Mr..
Head to the Chattanooga depot where he
obtained the desired pass from Mr.. Cole.
1t was with light heart and an improved
look he boarded the train.
BY this time Mr.. Sprinkle had overcome
his nervousness, caused by excitement,
and run his hand into his pocket.
Mird6ile dictu-his fingers touched some
thing--he drew it out and eureka was his
cry, for it was his lost pocketbook contain
ing the through tickets. 1t seems that he
had been carrying that pocketbook all over
Nashville, conscientiously believing it had
been stolen. At any rate, Mr.. Sprinkle
had an opportunity of seeing the city and
approaching the kindness of a policeman
and railroad Officials. He doubtless enter
tains good opinion of our city. Some Of
the ancients believed pleasure was subse-
quent freedom from pain, which latter was
a necessary precondition of the former con-
dition. At any rate, Mr.. Sprinkle may well
adopt the philosophic maxim, '.JeIir qui
pOtuit COgnOScere cGusGS."

more False Packed Cotton.

C. r. Parsons & Co. yesterday received
five bales of false packed cotton from New
York, which they have returned TO the
parties of whom it was purchased, and
fromtbe factors it win go back into the hands
of the planter. We are at loss to know
what good can be accomplished by those
sending such cotton to this market. It is
sooner or later exposed; and causes loss f.
nally to the packer. Those who are guilty
of false packing shout also remember the
fact that it is a, penitentiary offence, and if
continued in, our factors will be compelled
to prosecute those who impose on them.

THE most extraordinary frog story that
We have seen for long time comes from
Colorado. The Greeley Tribune tells us
thus: "Mr. Graham recently found a pet
rified frog in excavatlng his well. Its fea-
lures were wonderfully preserved, and the
owner had intended to present it to the
Greeley Geological Cabinet, but one day
the boys shattered it with Ratchet, and,
to their utter surprise, an old Aztec coin
dropped out. The date cannot be deciph-
cred, but the figure of head is plainly Wis
ible.h

Street railroad 10 the Race Course.

What has become Of the proposed street
railroad to the race course and Watkins
park? The company who desired to con-
struct these roads obtained charter of in
corporation from the Chancery Court, and
afterwards petitioned the City Council for
the right of way. This petition was refer
red to the street railroad committee who
reported faYorably, and no further action
has been taken. The question naturally
arises, do the members of the City Council
suppose that Nashville is finished, and
ought to be confined to its present borders,
and that there is no further use for enter
prises of this character! Street railroad
to the points named are badly needed, and
we understand the money is ready to build
them. What say the city fathers?
