THE WOUNDED.

Fifty persons are more or less wounded,
three fatally. A part of the mansion has
been used by Prof. Jackson, pyrotechnist, for
some years as place for manufacturing
explosive commodities. The fremen, after
being assured that there were no explosives
in the place, went to work. After playing
on the flames about half an hour a terrific
explosion occurred. The bodies OF men were
thrown in every direction, the air was filled
with rubbish, and the ground covered with
the yictIms-some killed, some seriously in
jured and others badly hurt. The dead
bodies of men lay coiled on the ground,
others labored in the agonies OF death. A
number writhing in their own blood, moaned
and groaned piteously for help. Many lay
insensible of their surroundings, and Others
bruised and bleeding CROPPED their way from
the scene OF the terrible accident.
THE SCENE BEGGARs DESCRIPTION.
People prayed in the open streets, and the
shrieks of the dying were appalling. The
fire abandoned and every body in a con-
dition to do SO turned their attention to al
leviating the distress. The houses in the
vicinity OF the explosion were converted into
hospitals and the wounded removed thereto.

Hon. X. II. Cole Interviewed.


The Hon. r. P. Cole, on being asked by a re-
porter of the LstelligeHcer what he thought OF
the decision in the 1908 case, replied that
at was his duty as representative to vote
for such measures as he thought would pro-
mote the prosperity of the State. That it
was the duty of the court to expound and
construe them; that it was now his duty, and
the duty of all men, to respect and aequiesce
in the opinion; that his object in supporting
the 1908 bill was TO settle question that is
sspping our prosperity, dividing the party,
and running the State. The law had failed
to accomplish the purpose for which he and
others gave it their support, and he hoped
some other plan would soon arise by which
these results could be attained. He hoped
some settlement could yet be agreed upon by
which the party could be united, the debt
honorably adjusted, and Tennessee saved
from further humiliation

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAY, f.: FEBRUARY IS, 1882
THE PLEA FOR HARMONY.

The time has arrived when the Democratic
party of Tennessee can unite on some COM
mon platform on the State debt question.
The talk about a few Democrats forming a
coalition with the Republicans and making
a contest on the merits Of the 1908 bill is
too preposterous to be seriously entertained,
for there are as many Republicans to vote
against such an issue there are Democrats
to vote for it. The imminent dangers that
threatened the people before the recent de-
cisioH have been dissipated, and low-tax
Democrats are now anxious TO settle the
State debt with the view Of avoiding
similar possibilities. We believe the next
Democratic State convention can agree upon
a basis of 5O-4, which will no doubt be ac
ceptable to the bondholders, as they were
anxious for the passage OF this proposition
in 1873, when it was, unfortunately, defeated.
There is general desire that the Democratic
citizen OF Trenton, in recent letter to a
gentleman of this city. saYs:----------
state sustained, and the debt honorably settled.
will go 5o4, or sos, or 500. would prefer bonds
fifteen years and dve fer the remainder Of the
time: You aud those associated with you
can do a great deal in uniting our party on fifty
cents. do hope the Memphis papers and people,
and everybody will now come to fifty cents. Do
all in your power to unite The lOw-taX men
of this section have of late very generally de-
cared their willingness to accept fifty cents, and
will again start their lOw-taX or reputation
schemes. A people who will not deal fairly and |
justly by her creditors deserve to lose their lib
erty, and in the end they will do it. We have in |
this matter just and barely, escaped great hazard
TO civil liberty, at least feel. Let ALL for
getting the past try and work solidly for united
party and ar honorable settlement.

Destruction OF a small HOuse-One
of the Inmates Burned-NarToW
Escape of Another.

The FIRE on Thursday night, the reflection
Of which caused s vigilant and Jealous
policeman to sound an alarm from station
No. 80, corner of Wayne and West
Broad streets, was in Kingsville, a
little settlement about FIVE miles
south Of Savannah. Il was caused by the
burning OF s house occupied by an aged
colored woman named Phillis Perry, and
the poor old creature was burned to death.
The circumstances OF the distressing affair,
as we CLEAN them. are as follows:
The woman was very Old and helpless, so
much so that one Of the neighbOrs had TO
unlock the house for her the evening before.
She apparently lit a fire on the hearth, and
lay down to sleep, not in her bed, but be
fore the fire, on account Of the cold. Some
time near twelve O'Clock the fire seems 10
have caught the wood work, and also the
dress of the poor woman. A young colored
woman, sleeping upstairs, thought in her
sleep TO have heard the old woman waiiiDg
and lsmen.iug, whereby she was fiDsily
awakened, and, on opening her eyes, found
part Of the roof on IRE AID already falling
10, while the room below was one mass Of
fame. She heard no more Of the miserable
sufferer. The stairway inside the house was
alreadg burning, and she was compelled 70
lump from the small veTandah, ten feet
from the ground, luckily escaping unburt,
but saving nOthiog besides the clothes she
slept IN except q quilt, which she had SUI
fl .ieut presence Of mind to wrap around her
The neighbo could not extinguish the
flames, partly for lack Of water, partly he
cause the whole building was ablsZ-. The
intensity o. the heat was so great that some
iron kitchen utensils were melted
Next morning a small heap OF scOrched
remains of the vertehTe, with some clothed
fragments Of burnt flesh sdheriug to them,
marked the spot where the poor creature
had lain down TO rest the evening before.
Part Of the thigh bone, etc, could be traced
By the czlcined remains Of bones. The
skull seemed consumed, except one piece
OF the crsnium, discovered by the Coroner
10 the direction Of the demolished fireplace,
and covered by some yet burning remnants
Of The clothing.
The tornado last fall destroyed the chin
ney, hence the fireplace had no proper vent,
AMI this seems to have been the cause Of the
ca astroDhe, which has completed the work
% he storm, reducing the dwelling to
ashes.
For the survivor who lost her little all,
bed, bedstead and clothing, we would be-
peak the good services of some benevolent
lady Of ,vannsh.

Broken Up.
We learn that there is a regular gang Of
chicken thieves operating in the southern
portion OF the city, and that recently their
raids have been frequent. II is suspected
that there "a party in the locality, who is a

thieves by buying chickens from them.
Whether this suspicion is correct or not,
the circumstances certainly warrant that
extra vigilance should be exercised
and every effort made by the authorities

markedly successful in their raids. A night
