The Cotton.shed Ftre.

| Shortly after the fire at the Touring mills
was discovered and while the engines were busy
brilliant light was Feen in the direction of the
elevator. The greatest excitement prevailed Tor
magnificent piece Il Memphis enterprise was in
| danger, and great crowds began surging
| that the fire threatened the Merchants Cot
ton Press and Storage Company instead of the
elevator 1t was known that in the mammoth
shed where the press is located was stored an i'm
mense amount of cotton. 1t was soon discovered
ton of the building. where Messrs. billiard d
Collins cotton is stored Fortunately this section
a sort Of open space, and this it was
which saved the entire concern from being
lost. The fire was discovered about 9:15 O'Clock,
and the steamboats, spread the alarm by their
whistling. When the engines arrived on the scene
save any of the cotton. Accordingly they concen
trated their efforts on an attempt TO keep the fire
tiful sight as they burned They became bales of
cr1mpling fire. The heat from the building was
intense, and warped had the walls in some
places become that a stream of water thrown on
them caused them to fall to the ground: For an
CALAMITY and prevented them from spreading
even though the wind was dead against them. At
situation and the safety of an important piece of
property was assured. Many surmises have been |
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Amos Woodruff, presi |
dent of the Compress Company, went to the |
shed to pay the hands As he left he thought he |
calling Mr.. Groves, told him he thought he sInelt
cotton burning. Mr.. Groves SAID no, that what |
he smelt was the burning OF cotton-seed bulls at
the Pamela Oil Works. Satisfied at this, Mr. Wood
ruff cautioned him and left.
The most plausible theory concerning the origin
of the fire is that sparks from of the engines
have been blown over into the shed where billiard |
Ceffin's cotton was, and set fire to it. At that
part of the road there is an upgrade and the L
gines having a considerable number of cars at /
tsched have to puff and blow at great rate. The 1
result is that sparks are thrown out in all direc
tons. The mammoth shed, being covered, did /
not catch fire.
Another rumor extensively CIRCULATED was to
the effect that the shed had been afire by la
borers VINO had been discharged. The compress
people, however, declined to believe this, and /
said they did not believe the workingmen capable
of doing anything of the kind.
The only cotton injured was that of billiard &
Coffin, which was an almost total loss. This firm
had 600 bales OF cotton in the shed, the loss on
which will be about $780, 900. This is fully covered
by insurance in local companies the compress |
was filed with cotton and Messrs. Hill & Fon- |
tame had their cotton beyond. II of this was en-
dangered, as;well the Pamela Oil Works. The fire
men certainly deserve the highest praise for being
able TO confine the flames.

Romance Of a Dead Convict.

A convict recently died in the Eastern
Penitentiary in Philadelphia who was
known as T. w. King, though that was
not his name. 1t is understood that his
father is one of the chief officers of the
Peabody Bank of London. The youth
came to this country in 1876 to see the
Centennial show and ''do'' the country,
He was well provided with funds, and,
having no one to restrain him, he ran
the full course of a wild and riotous
career. Fast horses, fast men and wo-
men, made his dollars fly until he found
himself toward the close of the exhibition
reduced in finances. Two or three
times he wrote to his father, who
promptly remitted funds, who also wrote
letter full of tenderness and regard in
which the son was kindly warned to
take care of his money and beware of
had company. He needed not the adj
montions of the parents, and fell in with
a gang of thieves. Correspondence
with home ceased. The young man de-
stroyed all traces of his family and started
on the downward grade. He was at last
detected in big scheme of forgery and
sentenced to five years Imprisonment.
He was too proud to confess what had
banpened, and wrote a letter to his par
emit, saying that he would not be heard
from for at least five years. | am tired
Of the United States, and want to see the

tentiary, and the deluded fatheris in lS-
norance of the fate of his son. In his last

are few English refreshment rooms in
