A st. Louis Horror.

ST. LOUIS, April II.
The most frightful calamity that has
ever befallen st. Louis took place at an
early hour this morning, involving the
destruction of the Southern Hotel by
fire and the loss of at least eleven lives.
1t is feared many others perished, either
by being burned directly, or first smoth.
cred by smoke and then consumed.
From the best information at hand il
seems the fire caught in a store.room in
the basement, and was first seen coming
through the ground floor, just north of
the office, and in ten minutes it had
assembled the elevator and rotunda, and
spread itself over the sixth floor under
the roof. This floor was occupied en-
tirely by employees of the hotel, the
largest part of whom were women. The
fire spread rapidly, filling every room
and hall with flames and smoke, and the
scene was one of the most terrible de-
scription. Frantic men, women and
children ran through the halls shrieking
in the most heartrending manner in their
wild and desperate efforts to escape.
The smoke was so dense IN some of the
halls that the gas-jets were extinguished,
which rendered egress, even to those
most familiar with the building, a mat.
ter of great difficulty.
The Fire Department was on the spot
promptly, and hundreds of people CON
gregated at the scene ready and willing
to render any aid necessary. The density
of the smoke in the halls drove many of
the guests and boarders back into their
rooms, and they rushed to the windows
as a means of escape. Ladders were
raised as soon as possible, and women
and children, clad only in their night

Burned at Sea.

SAVANNAH, April Il.
The steamship Leo, from this port for
Nassau on the 18th, was destroyed by
fire at a. m. on the 18th, in a southeast
gale, eighty miles south of Tybee, and
thirty miles off the shore. The two Misses
Harrington, of Nassau, and Mr.. Pappen-
dick, of New York, passengers, are miss
ing. OF the crew, the chief engineer, car
penter, oiler, three firemen, stewardess,
cook and ten seamen went off in the life
boats, and are supposed to be lost. The
rest of the crew and officers were taken
from life raft at II a. m. on the 18th,
by the Russian bark Happet, Capt. Fred
icson. The thirteen saved were brought
to this city by the pilot boat Neca.
Capt. Daniels, of the steamer Leo,
makes the following statement: About
two a. m. Friday, the 18th, we slowed
down, hauled up head to the wind,
and hove to, the gale increasing very
fast. About $3.50 o'clock we opened the
matches to examine the cargo and dis
covered fire below. We got the hose
and threw water on the fire, but it in
creased so rapidly that we had to close
the matches after two men had been
badly burned. Finding it impossible to
put the fire out and save the ship, we
got two life-boats and a raft over, the
fire gaining so that we could get no more
boats over, and those who were forward
were cut off from those who were aft.
When the first boat was launched went
aft to the cabin to get the passengers
into it. When opened the cabin-door
! was beaten back by the flames and could
not get in. met the first.engineer and
Mr.. Pappendick, and told First-E Engineer
Mcdonald: Get into that boat and
save all you can" He went over
the side into the boat with Mr..
Pappendick after him. then left and
went forward to get the raft off. 1t was
impossible to reach the lady passengers,
the flames having taken possession of
the cabin. There was no intimation of
fire until the matches were opened, and |
cannot account for its origin. There
were about eight in the boat that got
away clear of the ship. Mr.. Pappendick
was in this boat. l saw nothing of them
afterward. l looked around and saw no
one forward. l then went on the raft
myself. The stewardess and two men
were aft, hanging to the rail. The
stewardess called on me to save her.
told her to jump. She came down half
way and hung on, but the raft drifted
off, and she not letting go was lost, with
the two men who were on deck.

The Navy Pay Deficiency.

The explanation of the deficiency in
the appropriation for the pay of officers
of the navy affords an illustration of par
tisan methods. When large number
of naval officers were placed on wait.
ing" as it was called, there was an in,
slant howl from the Democratic ranks
1t was charged that the pay of the Off.
GERS had been reduced because a def.
cheney had been caused by extravagant
outlays. Some of the more unscrupu-
lous Democratic papers declared that
only Democratic officers had been put on
the waiting-pay" list, and that the
money which should have been paid in
salaries had been used for political pur-
poses. The average Democratic editor
believes, or seems to believe, that it is
as easy for Cabinet officer to go into
the Treasury and carry off million of
dollars, and charge it to false account,
as it was for the Tweed Ring to steal
similar amounts. When the deficiency
in the pay account was incidentally al.
luded to by Secretary Thompson the
other day, there was another howl of in.
dignation. If the New Hampshire cleo
tion were this month, instead of last
month, we should expect to see Mr. Ran
dali careering through that State with a
pocketful of unanswerable figures" to
show the profigacy of the late Repub,
lican Administration. AS it is, Demo.
Gratis, who ought to know better, roll up
their eyes and declare that their worst
suspicious are verified.
The number of officers, line and staff,
in the navy is determined by law. The
number of men is determined by the cur,
rent exigencies of the service; though, OF
course, as the terms of enlistment are
long, no radical reduction in the force
can ever be made at once. The appro,
priation for the payment of these offi
GERS and men is specific. 1t cannot be
used for any other purpose, and no Other
appropriation, or part Of an appropria'
tion, can be used for paying these per

This spring inertia pulls ON man,
We don't exactly understand it, but sup
pose it results from natures tussle with
winter. In her depression we are de-
pressed. We suppose It'll this, although
we may be wrong. But there is no deny
ing that degree of lassitude envelops a
man like a cloud of mist about a meadow
barn. A pail of water feels like tank,
and a scuttle of coal seems to weigh a
ton. 1t is just at a time like this that
woman can show her devotion to man in
a way to reflect honor upon herself, If
there Is anything man appreciates it's
delicate interest in himself, and a
woman has such pretty, unobstrusive
way of performing little offices for others
that it is really grateful sight to see
her thus engaged To be ministering
angel must be genuine comfort during
the mission, to say nothing Of the sweet
satisfaction which must accrue in the
years to come. Now that scuttle of
ours up at the house weighs, apparently,
half ton, but to loving, sympathetic
nature it must appear like feather
