Meridian's Big Blaze.

| The burning of the Phoenix Hotel and
surroundings at Meridian, Miss, on
Monday night, is thus described by the
Mercury Of Wednesday:
On Monday night, at 2 o'clock, the
Phoenix Hotel was discovered to be on
fire, and the fire alarm very soon given.
The flremen were prompt in getting out,
but, from the position Of the fire, In the
rear of the building in the third story,
and the Roadway the fire had made,
nothing could be done but to save goods
and look after the security of other
buildings, fortunately, from their dis
lance across streets, and rain that had
just fallen, not in much danger, al
| though there was a gale blowing. The
| fire worked its way slowly through the
building, and gave good time for saving
whatever was movable on the lower
floors. The two upper stories, the hotel
proper, were unoccupied.
Saddler Il Damon, who occupied the
store farthest away from the corner, as
market, got into a house in the Shearer
Block and served their customers from
that stand yesterday morning Sanford,
who was fixing up his store to receive a
stock Of merchandise, has already rent
ed Mrs. Chadwick's in the lower block
on Commerce street. We are not vet
advised where Mr.. H. E. Flournoy finds
new quarters nor where bred Findley
will set up his barber pole.
No person was injured during the fire,
though the falling walls were dan
gerous. & t
no. Eakins had a half-interest in the
hotel and had insurance in the Home of
New York, $3.50. Meridian Savings In
stitution had one-half interest in the
hotel, and had insurance in Planters Of
Memphis, $500; Planters of Mississip-
pi, $500; Globe of Chicago, $1,000; and
Virginia and Marine, $2OOO-$95OO. Mrs.
q. Il. Duncan owned the store on the
corner, and was insured in Planters of
Memphis, $500; and Liverpool, London
and Globe, $4OO-$2200. F. r. Sanford
owned the next store, and was insured
in Virginia Fire and Marine $500. bred
Findley owned the next store to that.
the hallway entrance to the hotel inter-
yening, and was insured in Mobile
Underwriters Company for $1,000. The
next and last store in the block, owned
by III. b. Flournoy, had no insurance.
II. r. Flournoy had insurance on stock
and goods groceries, Franklin $1,000
and Planters, Of Mississippi, $1,000.
Total insurance $1S,SOO. The cause of
the fire is unknown, but generally sur
missed to have been the work of an in
cendiary. The entire hotel was unoc-
cupied, and it must have been either
spontaneous combustion or incendia-
rism.

A. M. Burns, of Ohio, thus declares

otal expenses city administration


In this connection it is proper to say
that but for the issue of drainage bonds
the Wilt Administration would have
exhibited reduction Of the bonded
debt Of about one million OF dollars, in
addition to the decrease Of expenditures
by said administration of one million
dollars per year.
To meet the exigencies Of our financial
situation, the premium bond plan has
been adopted by the City Council.
By 1t the city can, with light taxation,
redeem her obligations in full with In
terest, and give such relief as will en-
nance the value OF both real estate and
bonds.
A series and premium drawing have
already taken place, and have proved
highly satisfactory. By single draw
ing nearly $400, 600 Of bonded debt will
be liquidated, and within a year we can
liquidate nearly three-fourths of mil
lion dollars OF debt.
The fact Of continued yearly in
creased reduction of the principal of
the debt will undoubtedly enhance the
value OF the bonds, and the tightening
OF the burdens of taxation will as GER
-tainly tend to restore the prosperity Of
our city.
We, therefore, ask for this plan your
earnest consideration, fully believing
that q failure on your part to aid in q
settlement OF the financial difficulties
now encompassing. our city will result
IN o condition OF affairs injurious to the
State through the disasters which must
overtake her commercial metropolis.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-02-06

Showing a net decrease in the city
debt since December 81, 1874, Of 81 $685.
O48 II.
The increase in the certified debt in
1875 was caused by increased arrears Of
interest, due and unpaid.
In the decrease of the bonded debt is
included $613,000 wharf bonds, assumed
by lessees.
The cash payments made by the city
government for 1876 are as follows, viz:

Much Ads About Nothing.

The whole truth in regard to the re-
ported occupation of Washington by U.
s. troops, seems to he that a small arm
ed force is being assembled there, con-
sisting of light artillery, heavy artillery
armed with Springfield muskets, and
infantry Its effective strength will
not much exceed 1000 men. Naval
preparations and orders, make it proba-
BILE that two or three ships of war will
soon be at Washington. The navy
yards are TO reinforce this little army.
There is nothing alarming or even as
tonishing in this small gathering of the
national police at the capitol. On the
contrary assurance is afforded by their
presence, that the laws will take their
course and that excitement occasioned
by the doubtful result of the Presiden-
tial election, will not occasion distur-
bance of public peace. Apart from the
security against turbulent acts growing
out of heated partisan feeling which it
may be supposed prudent to obtain by
presence of troops, there are ordinary
reasons sufficient to account for the
coming of a few companies. The Jar
senal has scarcely had protection enough
of late to guard it against the raids of
predatory agents of junk dealers, and
three forts near Washington have been
denuded of their garrisons to meet re-
inforcements for soldiers for the Indian
campaign and in the southern states.
Three or four companies could very
properly be stationed dpermanentlyin and
near Washington. The War De
partment might as well frankly an
nounce their coming is result of the
political situation. No one who is not
looking for solution of the presi-
! dental problem by some revolutionary
method would object to their presence.
They can do no possible harm and they
may do a great deal of good.

All Quiet in New Orleans.

A telegram from New Orleans dated
Nov. 21st says:
The city is very quiet and most of the
merchants and business men have re-
sumed their usual occupations with the
conviction that Hayes will be president
of the United States. Regarding the
concentration of troops at Washington,
a Times Washington special says:
Probably no part of the country is so
excited and feverish as Virginia and
Maryland, and Washington, unprotect-
ed, would be at the mercy of some reck-
less raiders who, organizing secret IT.
responsible force of 1000 men might
deem it piece of heroism to plunder
and burn the city. It is said in Balti-
more badges are worn under coat lap
pels by a class of roughs, labelled Tilden
or Blood, which are frequently exhibited
to friends. 1t is also reported that a
gray uniform and confederate flag were
publicly displayed and cheered by the
crowd in that city. Hardly Demo
crat can be found about there who
promises to submit to Hayes inaugural
tion.

cHEYENNE WYOMING WEDNESDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 1876

Montgomery Blair, just from South
Carolina, says the Democrats have a
duplicate tally of all the votes cast in
that State, which don't agree with the
returning boards tabulated count. 1t
may be necessary to count the separate
ballots to determine the result.
The Times New Orleans correspon-
dent was assured by Pinchback to-day
that the rumors of the returning board
counting Hayes and Packard out were
absolutely unfounded, and started by
rival aspirants to injure his pinch
back'sl prospects as candidate for the
Senate. All the Democrat visitors but
those witnessing the count, have left.
They We're rather outgeneraled in cor
respondenee.

A large indignation meeting was
held last Monday night at the National
Hall, in the Third Congressional Dis
trict of st. Louis, which was composed
about equally of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, lat which the action of the canvass
ing board in counting the votes for Mr..
Foster, Democratic candidate for con-
gress, which evidently were not cast
for him, was denounced in unmeasured
terms by both Democrat and Republi-
can speakers. A resolution was adopt
ed demanding that persons who changed
the returns should be ferreted out and
punished.

The warlike Movements.

The New York World has the fol-
lowing from Washington: There is no
longer any doubt that the administers
ton has decided at secret cabinet
meeting held one evening last week, to
garrison the city of Washington, from
now till the 9th of March next, and
even longer, if its successor in Office
after that day don't order otherwise.
This determination wasconsidereda again
and adhered to at conference held at
Chandler's house, Saturday evening. So
secretly have these extraordinary steps
been taken that orders which have been
sent for troops have neither been for
warded by mail nor telegram, but have
been transmitted by special army Off
GERS detailed for that purpose.

According to Ben Butler, We Shall Have
No President for the Next Four Years.

Gen. Butler arrived in Washington
last Monday, and had consultation
with Caleb Gushing. Ben Butler

votes, and the Senate will object to
Alabama and Mississippi, and the presi-
dent will not be chosen by March. ere

Lancaster High School.

The high school exercises at the
assembly hall of the public school
building on Friday last were attend
ed by large and appreoiative au-
dience. The room was tastefully
decorated for the occasion with
flowers and evergreens, festoons of
the latter gracefully overhanging the
stage. This was occupied by Prof
Brindley and his corps of assistants,
members of the high school board
and the resident clergy, while in
front on the first row of chairs, were
seated the first graduating class of
the school and members of the class
of 1877 who were appointed to as
sist them in the literary exercises OF
the day. The audience was largely
composed of ladies and greater than
ever before assembled in Lancaster
on a school exhibition occasion. The
exercises opened promptly at nine
o'clock when the following pro-
ersmme was observed, about two

The whole exercises were very
creditable to the management and to
the participants, and were observed
with the enwrapt interest of the au-
dience. The deolamatory and recita-
ton peices by the members OF the
next graduating class, were admir-
ably rendered and showed the train
ing of the master.
The original orations and essays
by members of the graduating class
were ell good, aud creditable alike to
the ability of each and to the progress
of the school under the past years

The almost faultless address and the
unembarrassed delivery upon the

orally were noticed and accredited to
the teachers method of instruction.

the audience to be the most excel
