Special Correspondence of the Appeal
CoyINGToN, Tenn, December 12-The
fire broke cut about O'Clock a. 30. in 4 negro
house just below The Cal Office, in the west
ern part OF the town, the wind blowing al
most hurricane from the northwest. The
hsmes spread rapidly, and soon the postofice
and saddler's shop were enveloped. The
flames then leaped across the street TO the
large hotel, three stories high, of Justice s..
K Shelton; then across another street 10 the
well known dry goods establishment of S. c.
Shelton dS Co.; and soop the whole row, in
Guiding law offices, saddler's shops, bakery
and barber shops, was reduced 10 ashes; also
the row on which stood the hotel; with sa-
loons, livery stable, Masonic Hall, and the
mschine chop were completely destroyed.
The undertaker's shop belonging to Hill &
Campbell, together with the Record office
and the dwelling OF William Fleming were
burned 10 the ground; in fact, of the 2rinci-
pal part OF the town nothing is left but
smolderinS heap OF ashes. The Presby te-
Iisn church also burned 10 the ground. The
dwelling of j. 3. Hamilton, which stands
between William Fleming's and the Presby-
terian church, was miraculously saved. 1t

together with all the out houses and in dan

tions Of a number of brave and determined

water, broonis, etc, subdhed the fiery de.

ersl timer, and every article of fur
niture removed to a didanee IRON the
house; even the dooxs and windo blinds
were wrenched off The ieat on top of the
house was 80 intense thit the faees, hands
and clothing of the brave men fighting the
flames were scorched ana blistered. Sparks,

The damsge to the furniture, carpets and
other articles of value in the house was
great, amounting u several hundred dollars.
The heroic conduit of j. B. Hamilton's little
eight-year old laughter (Charlie Sue) was
noticed and commented upon, even amid The
excitement OF tAe Ere. Che carried out
great many thing, and ran about putting

RaERroad Men Scalded I'm Tunnel
 NORTH ADAMS, Oct. 22.-An accident was caused yesterday morning by boiler explo- sion occasioned by slight collision between an engine on the Troy and Boston road and an engine and caboose on the Troy and Green field road. The latter left North Adams at o'clock with thirty laborers for the eastern end of the Hoosac tunnel for making repairs. The morning was foggy and the railroad men could not see twenty feet from them. When nearing the west end of the tunnel the ca boose collided with the Troy and Boston road engine, slightly injuring several men. The other end of the caboose was janned into it's own engine knocking in the front and caus- ing the boiler to explode. The thirty men were at once overwhelmed with steam and hot water and all were injured, many danger ously.
 Thomas Flahire, laborer, twenty four years old Peter Barry, aged forty five; c. l.. Van Housen, telegraph operator. and Corne- Illus Shay, aged fifty one, all injured in the accident died last night this morning, and half dozen others are not expected to live to night It is feared that ten or twelve more fatally injured, and the list continues to grow larger. The coroner viewed the remains of five men to-day and ordered an investigation. There will be & special investigation by the railroad officials at 9:3O 8. ln. tomorrow.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL,

The Star Route Bribery-Rrewster Look
 ing for Advtce-The Government Side
 Not Ket DisclOaed--The Whole Matter
 Ueld Under Advfsement.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Attorney General Brewster locked himself up in private room in the department of justice to day and with Secretary Chandler to assist him spent several hours in looking over the government statement relative to the alleged bribery of the Star route jurors He appeared greatly annoyed when urged by correspondents of the press to give some definite statement as to it's publication, and finally said, "Not be- fore Wednesday if at all.'' This confirms the expectation mentioned in yesterdays dispatches that the document is to beread at a meeting of the Cabinet. Secretary Chandler interest in the statement on account of the probable effect of the departments action on the whole administration and the Attorney General sought his companionship to-day to try to come to an understanding. Secretary Lincoln's interest is explained by the fact that Henry A. Bowen's appointment in the department of justice lies practically at his door Postmaster General Howe seems to be passive and indifferent. Secretary Teller has gone home campaigning. Secretary Folger has other matters to think of not wholly disconnected with the election in New York, and Secretary Freling- huysen's position. as given by him to per- sonal friend, is as follows If the govern
 ment made no mistake in the conduct of the Star route trial, surely there is no harm in letting the whole Cabinet understand the facts. If mistake has been made the Cabi- at ahonI5 Ina willing tn Ghara inc raSnnnSi- biity of seeing that it IS not made again. If the evidence is found to warrant the arrest of certain parties for jury bribery, and it is not deemed wise for the present grand jury to be entrusted with the cases, would it not be unwise to give the culprits warning b5

| remarks the speaker referred to the terrors and tortures of prisons in the old world in former times, to the curse of slavery in this country now extinct, and said that human slavery, which was extinguished at the cost of tens of thousands of lives and millions of treasure, could stand no companion to the curse of strong drink. It affected every DOT tion of the country and all classes of society Nine tenths of the persons in the prisons and iails were sent there through strong drink Over million people have gone down to drunkards' graves, said the speaker, since the close of the rebellion. He stated that there were over four hundred grog shops in this city and if there any curse resting upon the people to day it was the curse of intempsrance. In regard to this meeting the speaker said it was the beginning of others to follow, which he hoped would awaken the people to duty. To this work every pastor and every organization is cordially invited He advised every friend of total abstinence to pull off their coats and go to work. He thought the necessary work to be done was to get to sign the pledge, and then everything else connected with the move- ment would regulate itself. He advocated the plan of young men enlisting as volun- teers to visit all the saloons in the city on Saturday nights and placing in the hands of every drinking man 8 circular informing them of these Sunday temperance meetings The speaker interspersed his lecture with in cldents of reformation that had come under his own observation in Danbury and other places by united movement of all denomi nations and temperance organizations such as Is here proposed

Throwing am Elephant - A Wrestling
 Match In Which Dom Pedro Was
 Thrown.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct 22.-The ZoolOgical Garden in this city added to it's collection in December, 1876, two small elephants-one male and one female. The former came from Asia and was named in honor of the Emper- or of Brazil, then in this country, Dom Pe- dro. The young emperor of elephants grew rapidly, but with his increasing strength be- came very vicious. Recently he made two savage attempts upon the life of his keeper. It resolved by Arthur E. Brown, the su- perintendent. to put Dom Pedro through course of restraint, beginning yesterday morn ing His elephantine majesty was thrown at 10 o'clock, and the reporters who had visited the garden to witness the tussls were treated to 8 first class wrestling match be- tween the beast and squad of men. Tho animal, who is now nine years old and stands, at guess, six feet and odd inches high, was chained so that he was allowed limited field of motion for his head and trunk In commencing operations cable rope was tied around his hind feet and then passed over bully in the rear of the cage, and finally secured around a post in the front of the cage. Chains fastened around the fore feet were also fastened around a post next to tha rope from the pulley. By the united efforts of seven men the legs of the beast were made to slip and he came upon his knees, but here the resistance i; all efforts to throw his highness up- on his side were in vain; six men attempted to push him over but, as one of them remarked, it was like trying to push over the public buildings. Another chain tied to his front feet and passing under the belly successful in rocking the huge hulk like ship on stormy sea, but at every pause in the muscular efforts of the keepers Pedro would raise his head and utter deep gurge of defiance. At last, Rwith roar which startled all the animals in the building, the huge beast fell upon his side and lay at the mercy of his masters Four men stood upon the body of the fallen elephant. One held the squirming snakeliks trunk and covered the beasts eyes, while the others proceeded .to manacls his ponderous limbs. The beasts ster torous breathing could have been heard over half the building. The elephant will be kept in chains until his vicious spirit Is broken. His fore feet are tightly manaoled, and the chains pass up over the breast and ri vii e5 aka
