At Nashville, one day last week,
Mrs. Henry Harding, a colored
woman of aspiring proclivities, at
tempted to enter the ladies coach of
a Chattanooga and Nashville passen-
ger train. The door was locked,
and the depot Waterman requested
her to enter the middle car, which
was in every respect as good as the
rear one, and set apart for colored
people. This she declined to do, but
expressed her determination to ride
on the platform, which is against
the rules of the company, if she
could not get in the rear car, and
the Waterman approached to re-
move her, when she showed fight
and row ensued. Gen. Superintcn-
dent J. w. Thomas coming on the
scene of the difficulty, and hearing
its cause, rendered her frst-class
coach all to herself, and immediate
" had one attached to the rear of
the train and put-at her disposal.
This also she refused to enter, and
left the depot in high 71udgeon.
Her husband had the Waterman ar
rested for assault and battery, and
also brought suit in the circuit
court against the railway company
for $4,000 damages.

its predictions verified.
The theory which leads to the belief of in

lamp or gas Jet was in use in the dome. The
building is heated by steam, so there are no
''defective flues" No one could be legiti-

about, it would be work of ease for an incen-
diary TO reach the dome. All collateral
evidence indicates that the fire was deliberately

be to repair the disaster by permanent fire
proof building. Nothing less than strin-
gent law requiring an absolute fire proof
building will satisfy the public.
