THE PITTSBURG DISASTER.
The Scene Visited by Thousands of
PeOple-A Large Number OF
HOdIes not vet Discovered.

PIrTsBURG, July 29.-Thousands of
people are again visiting the scene of the
recent great disaster to-day, which has
been the case since its occurrence. At
Butchers Run, last evening, as the
shadows crept over the sad precinct the
scene was a purely dismal one. The
thousands of visitors who crowded the
ruins during the day had turned from.
the scene of death and destruction, and
in some portions of the district reigned
the silence of the tomb; in others the
careless voices OF children sounded in
close proximity to the devastated homes,
which are now in heaps of shapeless
ruins, and which doubtless conceal a
large number of bodies not yet discov-
cred.
The Chronicle says editorially this
afternoon that lone of the most
remarkable circumstances connected
with the great food disaster is the fact
that no list of the injured appears. The
list as published gives only the dead and
missing. In the terrible rushing torrent
which swept down the numerous runs
there was no middle ground, and for
those who came in its course there was
only one choice-sink or swim. Unlike
railroad accidents, the food leaves no
list of manned and wounded, and along
its raging pathway the only issue is life
or DEATH
Rumors were current last evening
that man and child had been taken
alive from the ruins, but they could not
be traced to their source.
The captain of the steamer l.. G. Nc
Cormick reports that he passed three
dead bodies floating in the Ohio river
about twenty. seven miles below the city,
but was unable to reach them.
The loss on the estate Of A. Hadeler
on Butchers Run, viii reach $4,000;
loss of c. Hadelar, $4,000.

LITTLE ROCK.
Bax ser Before the Cong re ssiOuaI
Ommfttee.

Baxter Before the Cong re ssiOuaI
committee.
ST. LOUIS, July PA Little Rock
special says Governor Baxter went vol
unfairly before the Congressional Com
mittee yesterday, and swore that, before
the meeting of the Supreme Court, al
which the quo warranto case was dis
posed of, he wrote a proclamation oil
martial law, and would have used it,
had the Court declared its jurisdiction
in the case and would have dispersd
the Court by force of arms had it gone
into the merits of the case. In reply to
questions asked by Senator Clayton he
said that Clayton had never made dis
honorable proposals to him, and de-
clared that the charges he made in the
New York Herald against the Senator q
year ago were untrue. The dispatch
further states that the Democrats say,
since this examination, Baxter is the
biggest liar in America; that he has
been telling them one thing and when
put face to face with persons he accused
he tells quite different story. The
subcommittee adjourned till the 10Th Of
September, when a full committee will
be presented and continue the investi-

PEOPLE complain here of hot weather,
and really the last two weeks have been,
up to Yesterday, very oppressive. Yet
the thermometer has rarely been above
$40 and we have no sunstrokes reported,
while eight deaths resulted from sun
stroke in st. Louis last Saturday and
Sunday and the thermometer was l04o
in the shade. The victims were mostly
healthy, stout persons, but had been ex-
posed to the sun and some of them had
been drinking freely, which is always
injurious. All persons should avoid ex-
cessive labor, eating and drinking A
wet handkerchief or sponge worn in the
hat is an almost sure preventive of sun
stroke,

AT the courthouse door sits, day after
day, a venerable old colored man named
Moses. He was pressman in printing
Office at Knoxville in 1910, and served
many years in the same position at
Nashville. He is doubtless the Oldest
pressman in the world, being eighty-fve
years old. He sells fruit from a little
stand for living, and appears to take
in about thirty cents a day. Nobody
supposed he owned dollar in the world,
but the failure of the Freedmen's Bank
revealed the fact that he had $l45 in
that institution, the frugal savings of
many years. 1t is all gone and he is
penniless. Hundreds have suffered like
wise from too much faith in their pre-
tended political friends. Still, Uncle
Moses will vote the straight black-and-
tan ticket.

NEW YORK.
An Insurance Agent Decamps-A
Duel Between Editors.

New York, July 29.-Henry Prindle,
agent here of the Atlantic and Pacific
Insurance company, of Chicago, and OF
suspended fire insurance company, OF
Philadelphia, has left the city. An ex-
animation of his accounts with the for
mer company show an alleged deficit Of
$4,000, and tits said that he is indebted
to the latter company for between $780,
900 and 100000, large portion OF
which is represented to be in cash which
he used at the time of his departure.
Prindle was formerly member of the
firm of Prindle & Morgan, insurance
agents of this city, and represented sew
eral companies of fair standing, but the
first Chicago fire made havoc with them,
and the assets of the firm having been
depleted, there was some wrangling and
dissolution of copartnership ensued.
Suit has been begun against the Peo-
pies company on afidavits that the com
pany is nonresident, and the Sheriff s
officers are now in charge of its Office.
The secretary of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company in this city con-
siders the fact that the Acapulco passed
so near to the scene of the wreck of the
City of Guatemala without seeing any
signs of that steamer as ominous of
further disaster to that vessel, which, it
is feared, may have entirely gone to
pieces.
Joseph E. Ferrer Decaurtes, editor of
the Cronista, a Spanish organ, has
sailed for Belgium, having accepted
challenge TO fight duel in that country
with Belado DeTuna, editor of the Gu
ban newspaper La Independence. An
effort is making to detain the latter in
this country Both are now under bonds
not to fight a duel in the United States.

somehow the details and the proof of
the scandal have become proper matter
for the wires, papers and mail. Mrs.
Woodruff is bad woman, and glories in
it; Mr.. Beecher it seems, adds hypoc-
risy and clerical duplicity to his crimes.
The yelled prophet of Khorassan wore a
mask; Beecher likewise, unless he is the
most injured man of this country. He
has always been such good Republi-
can that the government felt constrained
to save him from the Woodruff. She is
fearfully avenged, but that makes her
no better than before.

VICTORIA Woodruff is yet to hear

The advocates Of a higher law doctrine
to sustain them in violating the laws OF
God and man seem TO be reaplng an
abundant harvest The Revolution "
they inaugurated is a two-edged sword
that kills the soul but not the body, and

to realize the words of Seneca, who
wrote: we are dead while we are alive

BEWARE

We are more than satisfied that the
Radicals have abandoned all hope OF
making a straight fight, and will resort
to trickery and stratagem TO carry their
point. 1t is a desperate game with
them, and they will swap everything else
or the ticket to elect their man for
Sheriff. Even Mulvihill they would gladly
trade off at discount of ten to one in
favor of Garrett. They are like the boy
digging for the ground hog: Git him?
HI We are out of meat at our
house-bound to git i'm They have
mortgsged their property to raise funds,
and staked their last dollar on the issue.
Like some desperate gambler whose
money is gone, and then puts up his
watch, his pistols. his boots, his hat, and
pledges his wearing apparel on the last
desperate chance, they have mustered
their sum total of resources and risked
it all on the result 1t is neck or ruin,
win or sink. Having nothing great to
lose, they have everything to gain
Office, money, houses, lands, power.
The boldest frauds will be attempted in
FIVE or six Of the country districts.
Some of these are prepared, and the
Conservatives already know every legal
voter. Let the rest beware. The Thir-
teenth civil district is even now flooded
with negroes from Mississippi who have
no more right to vote there than in Ken
lucky or Indiana, and other districts on
the border will be invaded in like man
ner. Every true man has need to be at
his post that day to see that the law Of
the land is INDICATED and order main
tanned. Ordinary business can well be
suspended for a higher duty than pri-
vate gain. The Bartlett men must
stand firm; they must sCOrk if they ex-
pect to be victorious. We are in the
habit Of calling all elections important,
but this is one that only comes once in
four years, and this time it will settle
the status Of Shelby county on the civil
rights question. Every other county in
the State is turned to us with eager eyes,
not that our candidates are so well
known abroad or have personal friends
all over the State, but from the magni-
tude Of the contest and the effect it viii
have upon the rest Of the State and
upon Congress when it meets. If the
supremacy Of the taxpayers, Of the me-
chanics, and the intelligence and liberal
sentiments Of the community are main
tanned at the coming election we may
hope for long and prosperous era
which shall be enjoyed by all classes
without reference to politics, creed
or color; but the ascension of men
TO power through an ignorant class.
which acknowledges that it has few or
no representatives fit to hold Office, will
be a dark day for Memphis. Then there
will be heard howl in the land from
those of our citizens who now sleep be-
meath blankets in the mountains or re-
cline on the sea shore to be famed By
the salt breeze and lulled by the music
of the waves. Then there will be a
commotioa in moneyed circles and a
hasty running to and fro to ask who was
responsible for I4,0OO white men being
defeated by 10000 blacks.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
How They WOuId be Affected by the
Civil Rights Bill.

civil Rights Bill.
At the first of series of Teachers In
stitutes in Middle Tennessee, recently
held at Shelbyville, Col John NJ. Flem-
ing. State Superintendent of Public In
struction, made speech of more than or
binary significance. He argued that it
was not certain that the civil rights bill
would become Jaw, but he had good rea-
son for hoping that, in its present shape,
it never would become a law. But any
retrograde movement in Tennessee on
the school question would be calculated
to provoke and invite the passage Of the
law. Under the civil rights bill it would be
impossible, evenif desirable, to maintain
them, to maintain schools in Tennessee
under the constitutional law of the State,
the two being in direct conflict. While
he would neither concede or discuss the
right Of Congress TO override or Bullify
the provisions of our State constitution
by Federal law, yet the practical effect
Of the law would be the immediate de-
struction Of the schools, inasmuch as
10000 school officers, scattered through
the State, liable to indictment, could
not withstand the prosecution and main
tain the school system at the same time,
and before the questions could be settled
before the courts the destruction Of the
schools would have been effected, more
especially in view Of the fact that a
premium in the shape Of $500 reward
was offered by the bill for every in
former,
