being struck, the children on the
ground floor went out in good order
but a panic seized the girls on the
floors above and, despite the exer>

wildly in the stairways and the
greatest confusion resulted. The
pressure caused the balusters between
the second and ground floors to give
way, and several children fell to
the floor below. Ellen Links arm
was broken. Emma Dillen was
badly hurt about her head and the
upper part of her body by the bal
listers falling on her. Eva Shafer

buoyant, and amid great excite

Wednesdays closing figures. Van
derbilt shares and Wabash stocks
were most conspicuous in improve
ment, but the coal shares also ad-
vanced sharply. Consequently, prices
reached half to six per cent, the
decline being attributed to the re4

zor, teacher, in her brave efforts
to stop the children at the head of
the stairs, was knocked down,
trampled on ard thrown to
the ground floor. She was much
bruised, but not seriously injured.
The panic was confined to the girls,
the boys being discharged without
disorder. The terror of the girls
seems to have been greatly in
creased by the ringing of large
bell on the top of the building by
some one unknown. The fire was a
trifing affair and soon subdued. It
is considered remarkable that the
casualties were so few.

The ROdy-snatchiRg at Chattanooga.


Capt. Mack Parker, who came up
yesterday evening in charge of the
train, tells US some of the particulars
of the body snat;hing" case, which
was dev eloped in Chattanooga yester-
day morning, as related in our tele-
graphic columns. Capt. Parker says a
negro man presensed box at the ex-
press Office Thursday night, saying it
containf d cotton seed which he wished
to ship TO Cincinnati. It was re-
fused on the ground that it
Was CT no value. Early yesterday
morning the same box was presented
by a white man (who, We presume, is
Bennett Jackson. mentioned in the
telegram). who desired to ship it to
Atlanta, calling it fish. The express
men told him they would take it, but
only did so to develop the suspicious
they entertained.
Upon opening the box, which was a
small one, perhaps three feet long,
there was found therein the corpse of
a woman, put up in sack. The white
man and his son were arrested. He
of course plead ignorance, saying it
was given him by a colored man to
get it shipped, he being in the habit
of shipping fish. Capt. Parker's train
left before any further particulars were
known. It is sal by the Express
agent that this same man has fre-
quently shipped just such boxes, but
no suspicion was aroused. The prob
ability is that he is professional
"body snatcher," and supplies some
one or more medical colleges.

IT is said by some that Blaine would
consent to take the second place on
the ticket, provided it was offered to
him unanimously and Grant would
have tue first. If this is so, the Briga-
diers might as we'll bang up the fiddle
and "disintegrate" in earnest. The
Atlantic and Pacific oceans would
have to be anchored down to bed rock
Or they couldn't hold the United States
during the canvass. Canada and
Mexico would have to expect to have
their toes stepped on quite often in the
next year. How we do pity the black
eye Democracy has in store for itself.
