SECOND DISPATCH

CINCINNATI August 3.-The fire at

ing originated in the cellar ard an ut
tempt WAS made to extinguish Il without
the aid of the fire department, but il was
unsuccessful. After reaching the first
floor the flames spread with fearful
rapidity and in an incredible short time
had reached tho roof. The employees,
mostly girls. were ut wo-k in the third
and fourth stories and some escaped
through the windows on TO the roofs of the
other buildings, but ills feared that eight
or ten persisted in the flames AT this
writing but four bodies have been re-
covered, so Gisfgured that it was an hour
before any of them could be identified
Bits of clothing still remaining led to
the Identification of Mary Nurre, aged
20; Mens Kenbe aged IA; Frank stu

Blanchard, the engineer in the factory,
died soon sf:er from injuries received.
Two girls and one man. Isaac
Schofeld, were SO badly burnt
that they will pro1sbly die.
From the factory the fire spread TO
six frames and one brick dwelling, which
will prove a total loss The amount of
losses is not yet estimated. The lr.ur-

RR. PLUMBERS SPEECH.
the Veteran Creates "a Sensation IN
Edinburgh-A Remarkable speech.

The correspondent of the New York
Herald writing from Edinburgh, ot tne
Pan -Presbyterian Council, thus speaks
of venerable divine whose name j a
tower of strength" in tins community.
ANY account of the persOnelle ot the
Council would be incomplete without
special reference To DR.. VIM. =. Plum
mer, of South Carolina IL yeterau. Ius
grand old man--in his eighty eighth
yesr-with hs .Ong, snowy hair snd
prtriarchis beard, might suggest
the ideal Rip Van Winkle were
his mind not 50 wide awake. Or.
Plumer was once minister OF the chhrch
OF Fredericksburg, and indeed tor II gen
eration WAS the Presbyterian giant OF
Virginia. Ii vas the leading man OF II
once famous convention which met At
Richmond to consider the educational
condition of that State There ne op
posed the late Samuel VI. Jsnney, VIII"
wanted the free school system, but com
plimentcG that modest Quaker, saving,
"a city that is set on II hill cannot be
hid" His cppigramatic utterancos were
widely known, as when he said, ss otisel
to revivalist who said that he wanted
"to get up revival that he (Plumrner)
wanted 'to get down revival.
DR.. Piumer, aged rs he is, has made
one of the most powerful impressions on
the Council. IL was when cooperation
IN missions was the subject that ne arose
to make AZ appeal for missions among
the negroes of the Southern States. 1t
WAS plain tnst the old scholars erud tlon
and devOutness had borne him lar above
all vulgar prejudices against the negro.
The promise, Ethiopia shall stretch forth
her hands" was raised by him against the
superstition he re5uked that there was
some special curse on Africans. lie
related some touching anecdotes o; that
race, showing their nerosm and
piety, snd warned the Church that they
were not exh biting rs much wisdom rs
the Catholics IN winning so desirable an
element as the Southern negroes. Ro-
man Catholics, he SAID, are building
chapels every where and inviting colored
people into them. He once told
his theological class in Columbia,
South Carolina, that he did not
think the Catholics would make much
head way with the colored people, be-
cause these were go noisy in their wor-
ship and SO fond OF taking part IN public
worship, but one of his class told hun he
had been to one of those Catholic
churches. and the noisiest he ever heard
He (Dr. Plummer) had found 1t so; the
order had gone out from Rome, "Never
mind the noise if you get the men, The
speaker seemed inspired with the theme.
He declared the most eloquent preacher
he ever heard in his life WAS black man
from Tennessee; that the only way to
convert Africa and forever end the
odious slave trade was to make united
effort TO win the hearts oil the coiored
people in America. 1t was very re-
marksble speech this OF DR.. Plummer,
especially as the working OF q high and
human spirit in the heart OF that State
which WAS once so especially associated
with the "cursed be Canaan" theory OF
the African race.
