There is q statement published to the
effect that the Fire Department OF Ash

catastrophe occurred, had orders not
to play upon the burning cars, ostsnsibly
that the passengers might not be
drowned. but in reality to have the
bodies burnt beyond recognition. so that
the railroad company nigh. not be re-
sponsible for damages. A. G. Knapp,
Chief Engineer Of the Fire Department,
testified at an inquest held on the 4th
inst. that when be arrived at the
scene Of the wreck the FIRE was burn
ing along the whole train, and
that he asked Mr.. Strong, the Station
Agent of the railroad company. which
side he should throw the water from, but
Strong ordered him not to quench the
flames. Knapp also stated that the fire
apparatus was in good working orde,
and that there WAS sufficient quantity
OF hose on hand for all necessary pur.
poses, and If the FIRE had been extin
guished many lives would have beer
saved. Strong, on the the other hand
testified that be gave Knapp no suct
orders and that there was no hose on the
ground at that time; that il they hat

have done was to preserve some OF th,
bodies 90 that they could be recognized

The story of Pinchback's life is roman
tic one. His mother was q beautiful col

Holmes, well known in the south as an ex-
tensive planter, deep drinker and good

was not gold, not copper, not white, not
black, not 1ndan-in short, neither one
thing nor the other, but little of all. What
kind of life ''little Pinch" led under the
care of his father and owner may be gath
cred from the following incident: One day
he was with Maj. Holmes on Mississippi
steamboat; the sun was hot, and in the
shade of an awning the planter and his
friends played poker for high stakes, and
to quiet his nerves drank deep dfaughts of
iced whisky punch. The slave boy sat in
a corner watching the game, and waiting
for any orders which might be given by
the players. While he was occupied in
this way the captain stumbled across him
and demanded, "Whose niger are you ?"

know" was Pinch's reply. 81 was Msjor
Holmes boy, but he done bet on me two
little pair and lost. "I'se got to see de

question" The boy had told the exact
truth. His unnatural father, having no

The Church and the Stage.

discussed, at its recent meeting, the ques-

Rev. Mr. Appleton said that the capacity
of amusements is a gilt of God, and that
the church should guide and not repress
the desire. Rev. Mr.. Weber declared
that be always attended places of amuse-
ment If there we're any worth seeing Rev.
Mr.. Douglas thought that repression of the
desire of amusement bred Hypocrisy. Rev.

nounce theatrical amusements.
