A Frugal Grocer.
Nashville American.


Saturday morning street car pass
ing the market house paused as usual
at the crossing and waited for market
ers. A woman with a large basket.
which she could scarcely carry, got on
the car and deposited her basket.
Two men followed, one with another
huge basket, which he put on board
and started. The other deposited a
huge bunch of onions, containing
probably halfa bushel, eight lings Of
bologna sausage, each about eight
inches long, and half hog, weighing
probably l50 pounds. The first man
had started back toward the market
house as soon as he deposited
his load, and to him the other shouted:
Hurry up with that bacon"
Looking out the driver saw
him returning with three or four
sides of bacon. He made a remark
to the effect that he couldn't deliver
such things as that, when the man
who seemed to be directing matters
suggested that he proposed to pay a
fare for them. The driver refused to
take the pork and bacon, whereupon
the man responded that if he had to
have wagon take part of it home, he
would send it all together, and un-
loaded the car and carried the things
back to the markethouse, the woman
also departing with her basket. The
driver remarked to an American
reporter, who chanced to be on the
car, that the man kept grocery and
J wanted to carry the things out to be
resold. He has carried pretty big
loads, said the driver, but be never
wanted to take the whole car before"
! This beats the man who carried
home his stove on the car. South
Nashville will be ahead.

LONDON, May 16-In the House of
Commons, this afternoon, Gladstone,
replying to the request Of Northcote
for further information regarding ne

that it was not conducive to law and
order to explain details. He said it
was the duty of the government,
neither looking to the right nor left,
to open the prison door. He had no
communication with Psrnell, and
there were no official communications
or stipulations. In consequence of
GladstOne's answer, Balfour (Conser-
vative) moved an adjournment of the
House. A long debate ensued. Bal
four said compact with the suspects
was unexampled in infamy. Glad
stone, speaking with great passion,
declared that there was not word of
truth in the charge that a compact
existed, and such accusations were a
disgrace to those making them.

DlOphhhfou Nullrn1 pIeoT
Last Sunday night about 9 O clock,
amid the terrible roar of a thunder
and rain storm, the ever-thrilling
tones Of the fire bell were indistinctly
heard, telling of the presence of the
fire fend in some portion of the town.
Not until the red glare of the fire was
plainly seen did the people begin to
turn out. But when it was generally
known that the county Jail was on
fire, men, boys and even women COM
menced to flock to the scene, for it
was universally known that there
were prisoners in the Jail. Those liv
ing in the vicinity of the Jail were the
first to see the fire and hear the cries
Of the three negro prisoners for help.
They at once few to their assistance,
and with axes and hammers tried to
break the heavy lock on the outside
door. They worked with all the
power that desperation lent them,
for they knew that upon them
depended the lives of three
human beings. But their efforts were
useless, for the locks refused to give
and the heat became SO great as to
drive them away; and they were com
PEELED to witness one of the most ter
rible sights known to man, the crema-
tion of fellow beings The flames had
now burst through the roof, making
an opening for draft which increased
the fury Of the fire, and with one des.
pairing shrek of agony the poor un
tortunates gave themselves up to the
horrible embrace Of the angry flames
Strong men shuddered, and were glad
of an opportunity to save the adjoin-
ing property that was in danger.
Owing to the heavy rain that was
pouring down, Vigilant Engine No. l,
which had put in prompt appearance,
could do but little work, so bucket
brigade was formed, and succeeded in
keeping the fire from doing further
damage.
Early next morning crowds COM
menced to gather around the smould-
ering rains, to recover if possible the
remains of the unfortunate negroes,
but so terrible had been the fire that
only small portion of the youngest
of the three was found
The names Of the prisoners were
Geo. Allen, put in for burglary; Mack
Williams, burglary. and Isam Smith,
larceny, 1t is generally believed that
they set the Jail on fire, with the hopes
of making their escape.

RENOUNCING THE WORLD.
A Well known Young Lady of
Baltimore Enters the
CIOlsteF.
Baltimore American.

Social circles have been strongly
moved since Friday last by the an.
nouncement that Miss Emily yMoTavish
had entered the convent at Mount de
Sales to become a sister of the Vista
ton. 1t had been thought until the
last moment that Miss McTavish
would leave for New York on Friday
last, in company with her mother and
sisters. The rest Of the family de-
parted. The young lady, after ma
ture consideration and carefully con-
sidered advice from her spiritual
friends, determined that she should
remain, and that hereafter her life
was to be devoted to the church.
Instead of taking the train to
New York for the usual season of en-.
joyment in Europe, where she had
been again and again before, she
turned her back upon the gay world
and renounced its pomps and vani-
ties" Miss McTavlsh's family are
descended from some of the most
prominent people Of this country, and
their relatives are closely connected by
relationship with number of the
great families of England. Through
the Cations they are very closely re-
lated to three noted houses, and Gen.
eral Winfield Scott was the grand
father of the children of the present
generation. The step taken was to
many friends sudden ono, but it had
been long considered. For years past
Miss McTavish had been remarked
among those of her religion as
one exemplarily pious. Wealthy,

A MIDNIGHT ENCOUNTER.
Wild Ducks Strike an Electric
Light Cluster at the Top Of
High Mast.
Cleveland (o.) Herald.


Late last night singular accident
occurred at Bank and Lake streets.
High in mid air a whirling, crashing
sound was heard; then there was
sudden wavering Of the great light at
the top of the mast near by, and the
sound of falling glass was heard. Some
men, who were passing by and hap.
pened to be gazing at the cluster of
light when the noise occurred, stated
that the disturbance had been occa-
stoned by the encounter of passing
flock of wild ducks with the top of the
mast, and hurried to the foot of the
tall pole to hunt for trophies. Three
ducks, still warm with the life which
had scarcely become extinct, we're
found on the ground near by, and
doubtless other wounded birds passed
on over the immediate locality to die
elsewhere OF live as cripples. Those
who were fortunate enough to capture
the killed birds complacently carried
their prizes home, congratulatine
themselves upon the novel and mex
pensive method by which they had
secured their game. The unexpected
extinguishing of the lights demonstra-
ted several interesting facts. Five Of
the lamps were permanently blotted
out, the thick glass globes being more
or less shattered. The other three
jets quickly reappeared and shonc
with a greatly increased intensity
Those who were on the street when the
accident took place averred that tht
illumination was fully as brilliant al
before the five lamps were extin
guished.

Young,s Arctic Scheme.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, May l4-Master Lu.
Glen Young, of the navy, who desires
to 60 to the Arctic regions under the
provisions Of MIR. Calkins bill, says
that his plan is entirely feasible, and
will incur no special risk of loss of
life. He proposes to keep near shore.
He would make two depots for sup
plies in case of retreat, one on the
western coast of Greenland, and an
other further north, at Lady Franklin
bay. He would then keep up the
Greenland coast until he struck the
northern limit of navigation, and
stop, with the ship as the base
of supplies. He would then send
out parties on the land, and if
the end of the land was reached
on the ice pack, establishing small
depots. This would be done during
the fall aud winter, so that the next
spring the party would make a dash
for the Pole, following the line OF the
depots left the fall previous, to insure
protection against starvation, aud en-
able them to travel fast, unincum-
bered by stores. He has the opinion
of various Arctic travellers that his
plan is the most feasible devised so far
for the successful penetration Of the
Polar regions. He expects to 6nd a
more moderate climate at the Polo
than for some distance south Of it.

they carried them right along with

were both ravenously hungry, for they
