DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
a $4,000 DisiiIIery Consumed by the
Flames

Thursday the firm Of Betterton &
Bro wholesale liquor dealers, received
telegram from Loudon giving them
the startling news that on "Wednesday
night the large still-house owned and
operated by them at "Smith Point, -
at the junction of the Clinch and Ten
uessee rivers, near Kingston, was to-
tally destroyed by fire. The telegram
gives no particulars, and hence it is not
known whether it was the work of an
incendiary or the results of an accident.
The property was valued at from $685.
900 to $50, 900, upon which there is no
insurance. This loss, right on the
heels of the heavy losses by the spring
floods, must certainly be severely felt
by this firm.
from the Daily Chr onicle. April PAL
We are glad to state that the loss of
the Messrs. Betterton' by the burn
ing of their distillery at Kingston has
been very much exaggerated by our in
formant, though doubtless uninten-
tionally. The owners say the distil-
lery was only estimated at S., 900, and
had been offered for sale at that price.
The old copper, boilers, engine and
grounds will reduce the loss to about
So, 900 or $4,000.

An Unprovoked Murder.

Robert FarriD, aged q, was shot and
instantly killed near Somerville, Ten
nessee, Tuesday, by John Jones, aged
IL. They, in company with number
of others, were fishing, and Farris
started to pick up Jones' rod, when
Jones threatened to shoot him if he
did. To this Farris paid no attention,
as they were on friendly terms, and as
he picked up the rod, Jones seized a
shot gun and fired the contents of one
barrel into his heart, killing him in
stantly. Jones was arrested. No cause
for murder assigned, other than the
violent temper of Jones. Both are
sons ofrespectable widows. - Cleveland

Rob~r, rain shot by Isanc Johusom.

From the Daily Chronicle of April Il,
Yesterday morning, Robert Fain,
colored, who lives in East Knoxville,
near the Patton street church, was
shot by Isaac Johnson, colored, who
is in the employ of McMullen & Craig.
1t seems from what we can learn, Fain
has been renting house from John
son for some time. Johnson yester-
day went to see him about the rent
money, and some words passed,
when Johnson drew pistol
and shot two shots at Fain, two taking
effect; one in the arm and the other
in his side, seriously if not fatally
wounding him. johnson then fed,
and although the police and deputy
sheriff have been on the lookout for
him, up TO late hour he had not been
found. DR.. Bailey was called in and
dressed the wound, but we have not
learned as to what he thinks of the
case, but have been informed by others
that he is in a critical condition.

The contracts, stealings, frauds, are

and war for Cuba is the best scheme
that can be adopted to get contracts,
cover frauds and induce stealing.
The Radical party, therefore, is now

The Keeiy Motor.
From the Phlla Bulletin.

FROM Lllc L MIA DuIlebn.
We have just visited and seen the
heely motor IN operation. The secrets
and the working of this new engine. as
well as the capacity of this new motive
power or new force, have not been, and
perhaps will not be, fully described. One
thing, however, is certain: the power
used is cold vapor; it is generated with
out heat, without light, without the use
of chemicals. And it may be stated and
it is stated absolutely, without fear of
contradiction, that the force generated
from quart OF water is sufficient of it
self to propel an ocean steamer. Nor can
it be limited except by the strength of
of the materials composing the engine
in which the force is generated and ap-
piled.
To stand ard look. As We stood and
looked at the working of this mighty
force, in the presence OF one of the
Supreme Court, is simply overwhelming
to the human mind. The inventor him
self, broad -hrowed as Plato or Webster,
and with an educated face, seems as
founded with the greatness Of his own
invention: and rs he moves about the
machine, fastening burr here and there
seems wrought up with intense excite
ment, appears as but prophet or herald
sciously assisting to cradle some inven-
ton that will change, any possibly with
in five years. the whole character of the
human race and the whole face of ma
ture.
As we stood by among cold scientists
and watched tie perfect working of this
mighty machine, the mind instinctively
dwelt with awe upon the failure. We
selt, indeed, as if great cataclysm in
science, IN industry, in religion. in gener-
al culture, perhaps in the earth as a
planet. were at hand. The language of
the prophet Nahum arose in our mind.
"Tae chariots shall te with flaming
torches in the day of his preparation,
the chariots shall rage in the streets,
they shall jostle one against another in
the broad ways, they shall seem Ike
torches, they shall run like the light

BAPTIZED THE WRONG PERSON

Some OF our worthy colored brethren
of the Baptist persuasion had baptism
down at the creek last Sunday, and the
ceremony attracted a very large crowd
of people. Mrs Pilman's colored SER
want girl was very anxious 10 be present
and, AS it was not her Sunday out, she
slipped away from the house while the
dinner was cooking, and went around
in her working clothes, Her interest
was so intense that she stood close to
the minister, who was in the water,
while the ceremony proceeded. After
six or seven had been dipped, the
clergyman, filled with enthusiasm seized
her and pulled her into the water. She
resisted, but the minister imagined that
she was merely afraid of the coldness
of the water, so before she could ex.
plain the situation he soused her. She
came up spluttering and exclaimed.
what you doin'? Lem me go, | tell
you" But he exerted his strength
and sent her "kcrchuck" below
the surface again. She emerged
clawing the air widely and shouting
"G'way from here Don't you chuck
me under ag'in, you niggerI' But the
clergyman was lnexorable and he
plunged her under third time, and
held her there for q minute so as to let
it soak in and do her good. Then she
came up and struck for the shore, and
standing there looking like a draggled
mermaid cut in ebony, she shook her
fist at the astonished pastor and shrek.

Then Johanna went home to redress,
and the ceremony proceeded. Miss
