Four Babies Marrow Escape.

Fire was discovered in one of the small
houses in Jackson Hall alley, tenanted by colored
families. yesterday afternoon, by a colored man
in the vicinity, who quickly gave the alarm. Con-
siderable excitement was created among the
crowd that gathered by the statement that several
children were locked up in the room, from which
the smoke was pouring in dense volumes, and
several men broke in the door. Upon a low bed,
under which fire was burning briskly, lay four
babies, none of them over a year old, and had it
not been for their timely rescue they must have
smothered to death, for when brought out into the
air they were gasping for breath, and two of them
were almost lifeless. The fire was extinguished
with a trifing loss, without the department going
into service

THE MYSTERY OF THE TRAGEDY,

hid in Colonel Williams cap Two of these were
two dollar bills and one five-dollar bill. The
fye-dollar bill is still in my. possession. can
fully corroborate the statements of the writer in
relation to the trepdation of Colonel Baird at the
thought of having to execute these men. 4 short
time before the receipt Of the second dispatch from
General Garfield retired to my tent and laid down
TO take some rest. \ few. minutes afterward Col
onel Baird came to me and said: Hobbs what in
the name of God shall do? General Rosecrans
says: Try these men by drum head court martial
and if found guilty, hang them Immediately
replied: Colonel Baird, there is but one
thing to be done; We must execute the order
of the commanding General, however revolving
the duty may be- We came near an escape from
the execution of this order, however, in way
that is not related by Colonel Prosser, the writer
At the same time that Colonel Baird communicated
with General Rcsecrans at Murfreesboro' by tele-
graph he also sent dispatches to General Gordon
Granger, who was our corps commander, then at
Triune, Tenn, by the flag signal corps, and but
short time after the execution he received order
from General Granger to send the prisoners to him.
This was too late to save US from the sad duty or
to give these miserable men another chance for
their lives Possibly had there been less delay in
our communication with corps headquarters, the
course of justice, as estimated and administered
by the code of war, would have been less speedy
and more relentng."

President Lincoln's Consolation,

Those who saw President Lincoln's serious
side could best testify to the breadth Of his
great nature. Few men have lived in whom
the chords of humor and of reverent tender
ness, were so equally tuned, and in whom
both we're so exquisitely fine. During the
war, when to the cares of a distracted nation
on his mind and heart was added the keen
sorrow of his sons death, and for the almost
hopeless sickness of his son Robert, (the pres
ent Secretary of War; Mrs. Rebecca R. Pom
eroy was detailed from hospital duty by Miss
Dix to go to the White House as nurse.
While she watched by Roberts bedside, the
President sat in the sick room, night after
night, ~sleepless, and waiting with a fathers
agony of hope and fear. The life of the little
boy hung in even balance, and he would not
60 away. Much of that weary time the
nurse and President could converse without
disturbance to the patient, and the themes
on which Mr.. Lincoln wss then most
ready to speak were dear and familiar to the
Christian woman who shared his vigils with
bis son. Gradually he led her to relate the
story of her life, and of her religious expert
ence. The narration charmed him, and it
was not strange that it should, for Mrs. Pom
eroy had herself known sorrow, and there
was a history of conservation in the way Di-
vine comfort came to her. The next night he
begged her to tell him the same story again,
not emitting a single particular. On the
third night he wanted to hear it again. For
four nights-till the disease of his child took
a favorable turn-that recital of a Christians
trials and trust was asked for and repeated to
the anxious, sorrowing President, soothing
his painful suspense, and teaching him the
mysteries Of resignation and patience. He
felt his need to learn the lesson, and would
ask for explanations as the story went on,
and sought to know how she had put her.
self into Gods hands, and how her faith
found its reward. His interest did not cease
when the danger was past and his boy was
saved; but he retained Mrs. Pomeroy through
the lads convalesceuce, and, as il longing for
more instruction, he carried her daily to her
hospital duties himself, aud made her
tell him the words of peace and hope
she breathed over the dying soldiers,
and how she pointed them 20 Christ.
Often she saw him at short intervals of re-
spite in his crowded days, lying on his
lounge, reading the Bible that belonged TO
his mother; and once, when Re asked what
part of the Bible she loved the best, she re-
| piled that it was the Psalms. T1hey are the
best" he said, 81 can find something in them

An Open Secret.

1t Is an open secret with well informed
people here that when President Arthur was
last in New York he was under the impress
sion that none of the parties tolthe Star Route
frauds could be convicted; but, whether this
impression was owing to a belief that the
prosecution was unskillfully handled, or that
there was not sufficient proof of the charges
to convict, cannot be said; nor is it material
to the point in connection with the persisten-
cy Mr.. Arthur has shown in insisting that At
torney General McVeagh shall remain in the
Cabinet at all hazards uGsil that business is
finished up. The fact is, in the event of the
prosecution breaking down for lack of proof

care to take any risk Of that charactor-the
risk, that is, of shielding, even by implication
rogues in or out of ofice-and hence his now
all but peremptory demand that the Attorney
which he helped to initiate shall be finished.
His determination, perhaps, may best be ex-
pressed in what 1 am assured were his own
words: "The people who commenced these

the third day then the guests, on bidding
goodbye to the bride, tender their wedding
presents, which always consist of money, and
are deposited, without being examined, in a
box which the bride wears by her side. How

REVERSE OF FORTUNE

In Dubuque, Ia, two men are now en-
gagged in saving wood for John Coleman
who have history. One of them, John
Derney, has been a millionaire. During
the war he was member of New Jersey
regiment, and served under Mcclellan in
the Potomac Army. He was in many
battles and received many wounds. He
receives a pension of IS per month. At
the close OF the war he went to California,
and thence to Mexico, where he engaged in
silver mining, and was very successful,
amassing handsome fortune. About eight
years ago he married the daughter of Gen.
Emil Toutoreta, wealthy merchant of
Mexico, with whom he lived very happily
for two or three years. He decided to sell
his property and return to this country.
It did not take him long to dispose of his
real estate and other interests, although he
sacrificed considerable of it. His wealth
now consisted of bonds and other cash Sc
curities, which he intended to deposit in
the Bank of Mexico for safety, and to be
drawn when he reached his destination.
On the 10Th OF October, 1875, the night
before he intended to start on his return,
his wife stole all his money and securities,
and fed with her lover, and ne has never
seen or heard of her since. He arrived in
New York with little money and, as may
be expected, gave himself up to dissipa-
ton. He has been wanderer ever since,
arriving IN Dubuque few days ago. John
Murphy is his fellow-laborer at the wood
pile of Mr.. Coleman. a few years ago
Murphy was the captain OF steamboat on
the Ohio river, which he owned, and was
otherwise well off. He met with reversea
of torture and other ill-luck, and last sum.
