Fire This morning.

At | o'clock this morning a FIRE broke
Quit in the frame residence of Mrs. Valina
on Shelby street, near Trezevant. This
building with the furniture was consum-
ed and the flames spread to a row Of
tenement houses adjacent, and this row
was also 10 a blaze in a short time. The
row of tenement houses was occupied
by eight or ten families who lost consid-
cradle, nothing being saved but some
furniture and clothing. The grocery
house on the. corner and dwelling of Mr..
DeVries were also consumed. Our re-
porter learned that on the furniture Of
one Of the dwellings there was an insur-
ance for $1,000 in the Washington Fire
Insurance Company, of this city; loss
partial. The Merchants Insurance Com
pany, of Memphis, hold 1885, insurance
on the furniture, etc, of Mrs. Valina.
The loss is heavy, but not total. Our re.
porter was informed that Messrs. Sturm
& Hirsch hold a policy of insurance on
the building Of some $1,000, but being
unable to find the gentlemen at their of.
foe our reporter does not give this news
as authentic.

WI learn that the Monumental Com.
mittee appointed by the Confederate
Relief Association have taken steps
toward the decoration Of the graves at
Elmwood some time in May, and have
written to several prominent speakers
for the occasion. Of course they wish
the cooperation of all others, and espe.
cially the ladies, in decorating the graves.
Their idea is not TO have a procession or
other display in the city. The commit
tee will also report in a few days steps
taken toward the completion of the
monument.

Tot Editor Of the Ledger:
The General Finley of whom you
made mention in the LEDGER yesterday
is the Identical Colonel Finley who was
Mayor Of Memphis a long time ego. In
the latter part of May, 1916, he raised a
company OF this bluff for the Mexican
war. His company was called the Mem
phis Highlanders." The writer drilled
under his command for about two
months, when the news came to us from
Nashville by overland stage that our
company could not be received; Mem
phis had supplied her full quota-all the
law allowed-in Captains Ruth and Por-
ter's companies. Our boys, seventy.
eight in number, did a little hard grum-
bling, and we're disbanded, with hearts
full Of esteem and love for our gallant
captain. Those Of that company who
survive will rejoice with me to hear of
General Finley success in the contested
election. A better, drawer or t.uer man
never filled q seat in the halls of Con.
gress. A..

The Circus.

OBrien's circus gave 2 performance
in this city yesterday afternoon and
evening, both OF which were attended
by large audiences. In the evening
the tent was crowded to It's utmost
capacity, and the audience SO frequent
ly crowded the ring, that the manager
was forced, at one time to suspend the
performance until the ring was cleared.
After the ring performance was over
the entire audience remained for the
concert, though few, if any, purchased
concert tickets. An ordinary over
IRE was given, followed by an excel
lent double clog, and the song and
dance men were just coming upon the
stage when the audience began again
to crowd into the ring. This time the
pressure was too great to be withstood,
and the performers hastily retreatcd to
the dressing room while crowd rioted
over the ring for awhile, and then dis =
petsed without doing any furthe
damage than upsctting one the wa.
gons.e
During the evening large number
of boys crept under the canvas and
cut the tent and ropes in several
places, dong considerable damage and
causing one of the quatrer poles to fall
in upon the audience. This created
considerable confusion but fortunately
no one was injured.
A peanut stand close to the circus. was
also robbed by some boys, who extin-
guished the light and upset the stand,
after which they slipped away in the
darkness with most Of the peanuts in
their possession.
The circus as whole was of
rather ordinary character, but it was
fu lly worth the low price of admission
-25 cents.

1t strikes me that the controversy
going on in the Democratic papers of
this county, over the choice of dele
gates 10 st. Louis is getting to be too
vituperative and out of place.
The desire of any Democrat in this
State to be member of the convention
which we all hope will make our gal
liant and brilliant Senator, its choice
for the Presidency, Is at once natural
and laudable. If MIR. Dean, Mr. O'Byrne
or any one else wants to be delegated
or have friends who wish to send them,
let them talk it over and write about
il in friendly way. but why lose their
tempers or when other names are pro-
posed, why cry "Ring." The people
are beginning to detect the voice of
the political man2uverer rather than
of the reformer, in this oft repeated
cry of "Ring." 1t is carried too far to
say the least. 1t was customary until
quite recently, for persons to suggest
in the newspapers, names for different
nominations to be made by conven-
tions in our State and 1t was consider
ed very good way to bring out can
didates, but l venture to say, that if
to day, a correspondent should make a
nomination in your paper, it would at
once be seized upon as an evidence of
cry "Ring, this is all wrong. The very
essence of Democratic government is
free debate beforehand and acquies.
cence in the decision of the majori-
ty afterwards. 1t seems to be over
looked that under the new rule, the
delegates to the State conventions are
to be elected by the popular vote, of
the party. so that Mr.. Dean and Mr..
O'Byrne and al! other good Democrats
can carry on their friendly contest at
the polls, and help along the good
cause at the same time, and need not
fear any ring cry or ring influence.

The Cost of Iron.

Mr.. VIM. E. S. Baker, of this city,
Secretary of the Eastern Iron Masters
Association, has furnished the Iron Age
with table showing the cost of Iron
since 1850. The figures which the Iron
Aye says "fairly represent the cost of
pig and bar iron at works in Pennsyl
vania favorably situated for economy"
show that pig iron can be made cheap
er to day than at any time since 1858,
while the cost of converting pig iron
into bars is less than at any time since
1852. The cost of labor has been re-
duced to ante war rates. In some
places labor employed in mines is
do wn to 80 cents day. The Age
says: "There is no room for contrac-
tion here nor can rates of wages be
mained on the present starvation basis
nnless we are prepared to gee our
workmen reduced to u level scarcely
ahevc that of the agricultural laborer
in England" The furnaces are paying
So per ton more for ore than they did
in 1868, chiefly because of the scarcity
near the furnaces and high freight
rates on the railroads. The cost OF
anthracite coal is rearly double the
price in 1868, Notwithstanding q de-
cline from the extortionate prices
charged from 1865 to 1875. The cost
of pig iron per ton of bars has not
been so low since 1851, and but for the
high freights would cost the mill less
than before the war.

In saying that whoever else may be suit

This of itself is sufficient to keep him
at home, without alluding to the unfair

of " ring" slate" &C., when he knows
none exisfs, unless he calls the efforts of
honest AMI intelligent men to save the
people from the ruin which dishonesty
and ignorance bring, when entrusted

We want good men to represent us this

to loquacity; but men who have the in

when to speak, how to speak, and what
