Fire at SSG2SborG.

We regret to learn thai the residence
of Capt ". H. James, Of this city, at
Wadesboro, was totally destroyed by
fire last Saturday night, a little before
midnight. Il is said that the fire
originated from stove pipe III the
kitchen, hut this is not positively
known. At the first alarm, the citi-
zens hurriedly dressed themselves and
rushed to the scene where all, without
regard to age OF color, worked man
fully in the fight with tAa flames. II
was soun found mat the :io1lse could
not possibly be saved and attention
was therefore Turned 10 the furniture.
This was ii! carried 10 a place of safe
ty, bat ONE OF It was Yely much in
iured
The house was the property of Mrs.
B. \. Howe and vas insured for 81
O0n, which ii Is thouglt will cover the
loss. The damage to the furniture
will probably be something Ike $500,
but we could not learn il there was
any Insurance on it. Capt James was
here 1T the time, but went UP to
Wudesboro on yesterdays train.

Probable ElHHa5cific.

We learn that at Elizabethtown. in
Baden county, OH last Saturday after
noon, Mr.. r. B. Hancock shot and
wounded, it is feared mortaliy, Mr..
Thomas MCGEE. Hancock, it is said :,
had been drinking quite freely and
there was q threatened violation of the
peace between himself and some other
parties, when McGee, who WAS the
town policeman interfered. He at
tempted to get Hancock away from the
spot, but he resisted and drew back,
threatening 10 shoot the other if he
touched him again. MCGEE, nothing
d2unted, approached him second
time, when Hancock fred at him with
a pocket pistol and McGee fell. The
ball entered the right breast and
ranged upward and it is feared that
the wound viii prove fatal. Drs.
BiZzell and Robinson were called to
attend him and they are doing all they
can to relieve him. It is said that
both Hancock and MCGEE We're orig
inally from Onslow county, and that
there had been no previous trouble
between them.

CRUDE TURPENTINE--U nder
the influence, which this article has
sustained, of rapid decline in spirits
turpentine and rosin, there has been a
general weakness in the markent which
the strong efforts of receivers failed to
resist, and there was a concession
on Monday OF 35 cents on hard and
yellow dip, and again, on Wednesday,
90 cents on virgin. The receipts show
Il slight increase over last week, but
are still Insufficient to supply the de-
mand listillers. To-day the market
closes steady, at 81 50 for hard, s. 90
for yellow dip and So 90 for virgin.
The receipts for the week. 2,715
bbls, against 2, 1l5 bbls, for last week,
show al increase of 600 bbls. The ex-
ports for the week So bbls. against
5S7 bbls for last week, show an in
crease OF 295 bbls. The stock in yard
is $50 bbls against 1868 bbls for last
week. The sales for the week were as
follows:

Editors Journal:
The wounded are all doing well, as
reported to me. Messrs. Huntley and
Sinclair, the most seriously wounded
of the survivors, are reported better
this morning. All has been done that
could be done for the wounded.
The track will be cleared up to-day
and trains will pass regularly to-mor-
row.
The cause of the accident was the
mnst terrific rain storm ever known
here.
Six inches Of rain is said to have
fallen in about three or four hours
The culveft was in good order and SO
far as l can see is SO now. The rain
fell in such torrents that it choked the
culverts, and the water apparently
rose so high that it soaked through the
| bank and finally broke it. All this
work of contraction was done in 1860
| or 1867, and the bank is hard and solid
| all about the culverts and has stood per-
haps a thousand rains before. AS the
rails were not carried away with the
bank but rernaineds suspended with ross
t Ties hanging in place and the break in
the bank not being longer than the
engine and tender, the engineer saw
nothing wrong until he was upon it.
Besides this, it is at the end OF a cut
and curve that prevented it from being
seen until within two hundred feet.

To tie Editors Of the journal
GENTs:-I am sorry to see your
Extra to-day giving imperfect reports
Of a serious accident to our regular
train EAST on which we had an excur-
sion party for this city.
It was several hours before [ could
get the operators in place to hear the
particulars, and when [ did some time
was lost in getting possession of
the wires for Railroad purposes.
From the best information | can
get, the facts seem to be. \
terrible rain storm last night washed
out the culFerts between Lilesviiie and
Pee Dee, INTO one of which the pas&en
ger train ran this morning about =
clock, til" engine going in, and four
cars piled mp Oh it and against It.
Three colored men, the Herman and
two train hands, were killed. John
Calvin, engineer, was seriously and
probably fatally injured. Thomas AL
derman, express agent, seriously in
jurcd about tile head, hoped not dan
"erously.
Col. Sinclair, Mail Agent, had lower
! Jaw broken. One or two other persons
| had tIleir legs broken-the further
! particulars [ have not obtained. No
! doubt some of the reports are eXag-
| gerated.
The cause, as stated above, is the
! washing out Of culvert built in 1860,
over which rested firm old bank, and
/ tile track on all that part OF the road
! is in most excellent order.

by Mr.. A. l.. Cnilds, of Waterloo New York State;
and Lhen at the request OF the audience, which
was unanimously made, Mr.. George w. Morgan,
the well known Organist, performed voluntary in
his best style. After an lode to the Braven mad
been sung BY the Glee Club, an Grafton was de.
liyered BY General sharp, to which succeeded
selections by tne band from different operas, The
however, was the lecitation OF a poem, entitled
might on the Wilderness" by Mr.. William II.
Pope. the elocutionis- and tragic actor. This poem
was listened to with GREATNESS attention, and the
gestures and actions Of Mr. Pope during lts de-
livery were loudly applauded by the audience. At
