A Coal Mine on Fire with Poor
Prospects Of Subdaing the
Flames The Town Threat
ened With Ruin.

CENTRALIA, Pa, July l6. = The
vein of coal at Prevosts c%olliery is
still burning fercely, together with
the dirt and rock banks. The mine is
being flooded now, but with poor
prospects of overcoming the flames,
which gained considerable Roadway
during the night, and are now endan-
gering the working of the Continental
and Hazeldell mines, which only d.
vided from the burning vein by pillar
Of coal thirty feet thick. Should the
workings take fire the town would be
ruined.
Several valuable pumping engines
were destroyed together with the
breaker Office aud all the buildings
except the stables. The loss was esti.
mated this morning at 10000. The
breaker was insured with Provost &
Herring, of Philadelphia, but to what
amount it is not known. g
just before the fire commenced a
car load Of miners made a narrow
escape from destruction, receiving
timely warning from two boys who
escaped from the flames.

Memphis has Just undergone q great
fright and a great misfortune, for
while many know that nothing ap.
preaching an epidemic Of yellow fever
has happened, yet there are many per-
sons who will not be convinced, and
by their persistent Misrepresentation
they will keep it before the country
that she is at any time liable to an at
tack, and thus deter many persons
from going there, The Banner showed
hoy she might have an attack, both
now and hereafter, vel there vas still

1t will most probably be years before
she gets entirely free from these spo-
radio attacks, but she will u~nquestion :

10 adopt the practice prevalent in
Scotland, Ireland, and many large
districts on the continent and in the
colonies, Of going bare footed. As
against the custom of wearing bad
shoes that will let in the water aud

ings which are rarely changed, there
can, we think, be no ground to doubt
the expedieney of abandoning foot

processes carried on within it. and

able to suppose the disease, if cpl.
demic, would jump clear across the
city, passing all intervening persons,
to get to these remote points2 Is
it not moro reasonable to suppose
that the same general cause that start
cd it in one case did SO in all? Does
it not look reasonable to any intelli-
gent and unprejudiced mind that it
resulted from some vitalizcd germs
remaining over from last year. Re-
member that in the last epidemic the
air was back with poison. 1t went
into the decayed houses, in the broken
plastering, under loose paper hangingS,
into the rotten NicolsOn pavements.
The bedding, blankets, winter cloth
ing, everything was full of it. 1t is
known that Mulbrandon and his wife
slept under bed clothing that had been
inherited from a relation, which actu-
ally showed the stains of black vomit
on them. He took it undoubtedly
because his system just happened to
be in a favorable condition to receive
it, and did not have the vitality to
eliminate the poison. The same causes
undoubtedly remain somewhere and
some other persons viii yet have to
pay the tribute exacted by the yellow
monster.
This may repeat itself several, even
many times without producing an cpl
demic, But if enough of them should
occur together to start a wave. then an
epidemic would be the result. But
though this sporadic form has been
known and watched, time and again,
the FIRST well authenticated case has
yet to be cited where an epidemic
sprung from sporadic cases. Still, it
might happen, and therefore the ut
most caution should be observed, and
vigilance should be sleepless to pre-
vent it. Cases so occurring should be
separated from all save experienced
nurses the bedding used should be
ruthlessly burned, the house disin.
fected il possible, the house should
not be used again for some time. In
this manner, and by others well known
to medical men, it might be so guard
ed against that it would lose its ter

Disastrous COnnagratiOn.

BUFFALO, July 16.--Another dis
astrous confiagration occurred in this
city this morning, at the Pitts Agricul-
tural Works, destroying the immense
establishment, with the exception Of
the storehouse, containing the finished
machinery, and the Office building
The supposed cause is spontaneous
combustion. The works were estab-
lished in 1851 by John A. Pitts, but
had lately been merged into a stock
company, Of which Mrs. Mary A.
Brayley was president, The total iu-
surance is 100000. No estimate Of
the loss has yet been obtained.

Alton telegraph
DR.. B. L, Longs father was a sol
der in the army of the Revolution,
and the night after the battle of Mon
mouth he was one of sixteen young
men selected from a Cape Ann regi-
ment to serve as Washington's ten
porary body-guard. The body-guard
stripped an apple tree of its leaves and
branches to make a couch on which the
father Of his country rested after the
engagement was over. Mr.. Longs
regiment was in the division of the
army under General Lee, the officer
who was ordered by Washington to
advance and bring on the battle by
attacking the British and Hessians.
After firing a few volleys General
Lee ordered a retreat, and when the
in-chief came up with the
remainder of the army and found out
how matters were progressing, Or
rather retrOgading, he was terribly
indignant, and reproached Lee in
unmeasured terms, to the following
effect: You scoundrel, what do you
mean by this dastardly retreat in the
lace Of the enemy2" 1t is said by
those who were spectators, among
whom was Mr.. Long, that Lee fairly
covered beneath the storm Of Wash
ington's wrath, aud asked General,
what will you have me do?" "Ad-
vance Immediately and attack the
enemy" was Washington's imperative
command, 81 will, sir" was Lees
reloilder. It is said hat on this
occasion Washington, in his
great rage, used an oath in
his first address to Lee, when he
found that he ordered his troops to
retreat when they were eager for bat
tie. The latter obeyed the last orders
Of his superior officer, and fought the
enemy bravely through that lcng
summers day, when the heat was 50
intense that hundreds on both sides
fell through exhaustion. AS is well
known, the British army retreated
during the night, and left the field to
the Americans. In this battle Mr..
Long captured a musket from a Hes
sian, but the piece was so heavy that
he exchanged it for a Queens
arm, which Is now in the possession
