the burning of the Yeager mill last
night will, it is now estimated, ex-
ceed 100000. The destruction Of

one Acciden,l in Eight Years.

In making record OF the accident on
the E. t., Va. & Ga. r. R, the partic.
ulars of which are elsewhere given. We
have been reminded of The fact that
such occurrences are very rare on this
thoroughfare. Looking back over the
history of the road, we find that there
has been no disaster to any passenger
train on this line of road !. involving
the loss Of life, since 1872 when
what is known as the Greene.
Vile grade disaster'' occurred, and
that without censurable negligence
or mismanagement on the part of the
authorities of the road. Il. gives US
pleasure to testify to the careful mans
agement OF the running affairs of this
great line OF travel, for the reason that
we have felt bound to criticize plainly
and severely the policy of the COM
pany in regard to cur local commerce.
We have always felt that there is no
road In the country more carefully
conducted, 80 far as relates to the pru-
dental business management of Its
operations. Whatever we find in
the commercial policy Of the
company to censure, we do not
hesitate to condemn, as the readers
of the Dispatch must be fully
aware. But, as to the officers and
employees of the company we stand
ready now, as we have always done. to
bear testimony to their scrupulous care
for the safety of the thousands OF peo-
pie whose lives are entrusted TO their
charge. The present accident was un'
avoidable under the most vigilant
management. To the travelling public
there is no safer line than the East
tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
road, and this may be taken as the
candidid. testimony of q journal by no
means prejudiced in it's favor.
Col. Charlton does himself more
credit than the railroad company, in
the foregoing article, What he says
is the simple truth. There is nots
railroad in the United States that has
a better record, in the accident line
than the e. T.. Va and Ga. railroad.

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 18.-The'
American bar association met shortly
after half past ten o'clock this morn
ing. and was called to older by Luke
P, Piland, chairman of the executive
committee. President BENZ. Bris, LOW
was introduced and read his annual
report, which dealt chiefly with
changes made in statutory laws by
the several states and by congress
during the past year. Among other
new legal enactments he referred to
an attack made by the laws upon rail-
roads in Georgia, where commission
has been appointed to fix railroad
rates; and to law in the same state
for the appointment of temporary
Judges pro TEN, with the consent
of tie litigating parties. He ex-
pressed the hope that out of the
various laws proposed in congress,
some equitable bankrupt law might
be evolved, to which the audience re-
sponded with applause. He referred
also to law enacted by South Caro-
lima, removing liens on real estate
after twenty years from the
last payment; to the appoint
ment by the state of
Georgia, of the emigrant commits
sion for the encouragement of immi-
grafton and to the stringent usury
law recently passed by Georgia. On
ly twelve states and territories, he
said, have no laws against usury. He
spoke of the recently enacted law of
Louisiana requiring every person IN
business or professional life with the
exception of those engaged in agri-
culture and few others to pay a
special license fee, and referred to
thelaws forbidding the intermarriage
of blacks and whites which have
been passed in South Carolina
and other states. The law hereto
fore passed to the same effect in
Virginia has, he said, been declared
constitutional by the United States
courts. .......
On motion of Carrollton Hunt, o1
Louisiana, the thanks of the asso
citation were rendered to the presi-
dent for his address. A large num-
Der of new members were elected
On the report of the executive coun
Gil, the secretary reported that the
association had more than 400 mem
bers last year, and more than 5O(

thirty-one states and territories.

Dainty Food in q MenagerIe.

Next in point Of heavy feeding come
the elephants. Their chief food is hay,
of which it takes about four times as
much to keep an elephant as it does to
keep horse, the elephant eating about
100 pounds of hay every twenty-fouI
hours. And in order to keep up his ap-
petite the hay must be the best going,
being invariably timothy of the best
grade. Other animals that eat hay are
the girafes, the camels, the deer, zebra,
and different animals of the cattle
species. Most all of these are fed on
what is known as mixed hay, timothy
and clover, which is about twenty pc,
cent cheaper than the timothy alone.
There are 101 other creatures reqnir
ing, in many cases, much more delicate
and costly food. The sea-lions have to
be fed on fish, usually fresh and salt
mackerel, each animal taking twelve to
fifteen to each meal twice day, and
consuming all together 100 pounds Of
fish daily.
Next in point of delicate livers come
the polar bears, whose regular diet ia
bread soaked in milk, with fish now and
then for change. The black bears are
also given bread, 100 pounds being used
daily. Vegetables Of almost every sort
are fed literally to the different animals
cabbage, potatoes, carrots, onions and
turnips. The elephants are great cab
bage eaters, in addition to their standard
diet, hay. The giraffes singularly
enough, are great onion eaters, while
the deer and goats, and animals Of the
COW species, eat carrots, and turnips and
potatoes. Bran and oats and corn are
also literally distributed mostly once
or twice q week-among the hay.eatinp
animals.
The most delicate and expensive
feeder in the place, perhaps, is th,
ourang.otang, which gets beef, potatoes
bread and honey. AS there is only on,
in the collection at present, the cost O
keeping this grinning satire on th,
human species is not multiplied. An
other delicacy which must not be omit
ted in the diet Of the polar bears is fisl
oil, of which they get several supplies
week. After the hay, the oats is per
haps the next chief source Of expense ii
the way Of animal food. As for th,
fowls, the larger ones are fed on corn
while small birds are fed on canar,
seed, and all Of them now and then &c

low the Prince Of Wales Puts In His
Time.

What busy ubiquitous man the
Prince of Wales isl He seldom leaves a
stone unturned that is likely to bring
him popularity. He attended the first
appearance Of Modjeski, and the same
evening was also at the Royal Academy
banquet, where Bret Harte was one OF

menting the Prince, but at the same
time expressed himself as little disap

from New York were exhibited for his
amusement. His Royal Highness was
much pleased with their performance.

who were thus honored on the occasion
was the Hon. j. w. Foster, United

A Princess Romance.

About the recent marriage Of the
Princess Frederick Of Hanover there was
not a little romance. Here" said a
London correspondent, " is Princess
marrying private secretary; descend
ant Of the Hanovarian Kings marrying
an undistinguished Baron, doing it
against the will Of her brother, making
her friends the Cambridges furious, and
calling forth the sneers Of the Imperial
family in Germany. She Is encouraged
BY the Queen Of England who applies
TO the Emperor William for her dowry,
and braves the wrath Of her family to
satisfy the will of her relative. The
Princess Frederick has loved the Baron
Rammingen for years. She sought long
ago for permission to make him her hus,
band. For his sake she had refused
more than one advantageous match
1t is said when Prince Leopold began
to show something more to her than q
mere friendly attachment she deter
mined to appeal to him as the favorite
son of the Queen. She told him her
story and asked his aid. Like a true
knight, he devoted himself to her cause.
He urged his mother until she caught
some Of her sons enthusiasm; he ar
ranged matters which without him
would have been difficult; he turned her
critics into her partisans; and 80 it
comes about that a sister Of a crownless
King is able with even somethisg like

paper in Colorado to tell the truth and
nothing but the truth in relation to her
mineral resources. Let us not send out
any false hopes to those who desire to

We should tell them of the hard work,
the unremitting attention to business,
what stern realities stare them in the
face, what hardships they, must endure,
the deprivation of all home comforts
and the Injuries of life, the difficulties
attending the development of our min

to them, and then If they are equal to

THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

The destruction of the State Normal
School by fire yesterday occurred at most
unfortunate iuncture for the friends Of
that institution. 1t has been very hard
to convince the Legislature of the propriety
of renewing the appropriation for it, the
main objection apparently being that the
students educated there have not as a rule
taught after graduating, but have adopted
some other occupation, if men, and, il
women, have married. As the rebuilding
OF the school would require consider.
able appropriation, it is probable that
strong effort will now be made to
abolish the institution. If the educa-
tional scheme outlined in the new
Constitution is carried into effect,
perhaps this will prove of little
consequence, since in that case the cause
of public education will be ruined. and
therefore it may not be worth while to
contend for the preservation of frac-
tional part of it. But if any serious effort
is TO be made to introduce educational re-
forms into the State, it will be necessary
to consider the methods by which trained
teachers are to be secured. To say that
they ought TO train themselves is to say
that people ought to be expected to spend
a small fortune in preparation for career
affording the narrowest subsistence to
those who follow it. Let teachers be paid
as lawyers and physicians are, and they
could afford to train themselves. If, how
ever, the State needs educated teachers, as
things are, it must train them at its own
expense or go without them.
