TIE destruction by FIRE OF the Firsl Pes.
byteiian church is loss that all classes of
the people OF Mspphis deplore. 1t was,
though not architeclnrally handsome, one of
the noted STRUCTURES OF the city, and bad
been a witness OF the growth OF Memphis
aud all yhe changes that have taken place in
the last thirty years. 1t was built ON the
eve Of The golden period in the ci'y's history
iust az she was entering upon the
few years of extraordinary growth
that elevated her TO place among
the most promising cities 10 the Union.
From 1858 to 1860 the increase in trade,
population and wealth was henomt nal, and
there is 70 knowing where il would have
carried us had moi the civil war, political
tumult and several epidemics stopped il.
The Pisst church was a silent witness Of all
these change, some Of them written in blood
and burdened with public calamity and
private woe, and Others shrouded in
the awful gloom oil recurring epid ,mcs.
During The epidemic OF 1878 the roof fell in
5ast as Afsw mourners were bearing away the
body OF the then pastor, Mr.. Beaumont, to
Law him at rest foreser, tired and weary
aoldier who had made the good Gght aud
had proven his courage and capacity en- the
field where he died with thousands. L,ter,
in 1875, the present pastor also succumbed
to yellow-feyer, the Eesnlt OF exposure in
the performance of his duty with zeal
that knows no liriDg. II was from this
church, too, that Gov. james G. Jones was
borne 10 his grave, followed by all that was
then conspicuous and noble Of the young
city's population. He was one OF the frat
among the second generation of Tenuessee's
public men 10 zee the advantages Memphis
possesses, from her location, for expansion
and growth, and TO prove his faith by
his works ne removed from his home
10 Middle Tennessee, settled here and
became the leader in a great many en-.
terprisep, becoming eminent as the adyo-
cate OF the city and her people when
ever aud wherever possible and proper.
Much of the HISTORY Cf Memphis clustered
around the First church, aud for that reason
regret at its los is general. Rut the cougre-
cation, always noled for lis wealth and social
distinction, will not permit its ruins 10 atsld.
They will rebuild il, or perhaps put up
better structure. The zeal OF Mr.. Daniels
will end a new field OF eKertiop in helping
toward either OF these euje, and ne will no
doubt make it bis Lies work 10 replace the
fallen emple. In this he will have not only
the sympathy, but We hope the active Co.
operation Of the people generally.

The frat month OF 1888 is likely TO pass
into history marked as the most noted in
many years for destructive conAsgrations.
The public mind WAS yet full of the borrer
of the awful loss OF life by the burning OF
the Nswhall House, Milwaukee, where 100
lives paid the penalty Of want OF 6re-escapss
and the existence OF iiuder.hox, when
there came from New York accounts of a
panic among and stampede OF the audience
at the Union Square Theater on Friday
night, when, had il not been for the presence
of mind Of the manager, the actors and the
police many lives would have been lost,
and perhaps a repetition Of the scenes
at The Brooklyn Tbester fire might
have followed. One recount says
that the allies we're crowded, aud there
was dangerous rush toward the chief exit
or Union Square. There was GO alarm cry
gwen, but the sbsence of it seemed to
add fearful significance TO the struggle 10
reach the doors. One lady, who was ter
ribly crushed, was heard to fIintly moan,
"My Godp "My Godp "Ob, Godp and
A@ahtSNs ONA4S pSioSAo ~ AhC OOAco SiAcu
out that all was right, and the audience be-
came somewhat assured. A lady, who was
an a struggling mass, begged a man who was
ferociously beating his way 10 The door not
TO hurt her. He replied, 81 saw the Brook
1yn fire; doA't talk 10 me; it was gone in
Eve minutes" But the fate the
f~udience ST the Union Square Thea
ter escaped overlook that in Po-
lish circus in the town tf Berdlchev,
on Saturday, when $50 persons were burned
TO death. The particular, 30 far as they
have reached Us, are soul, narrowing, and
following upon the loss OF life in Germany
consequent upon The inundslion OF he great
river valleys, hightens the horrors there ex-
cited Coming after this we have he d. struc-
tion of the Planters II use in st
Louis, where four persons we're burned TO
death and several hundred made a
narrow escape Closing this list of horrors
we have the destruction OF the First Pres
byterian church of this city on Sunday
night shortly after the congregation had
been dismissed by Pastor Daniels. This is q
terrible list for the FIRST half OF the month.
Let US hope it is closed and that we abs
hear no more for years of holocsusts which
the ingenuity OF man hsr 80 far been un-
equal 10 the prevention Of

RetfosI.e Tor unsse<s sIaIss senaIor.-
The balloting for United States senator
begins to morrow at IL o'clock. There are
az yet but three avoued candidates-Isham
q. Harris, John H. Savage and Col. Solomon
Rose, OF Giles county. The friends of Sena-
tor Harris are quite confdent of his election
on the first ballot. The efforts OF the
opposition 10 scatter the vote are
not meeting with much success. Ex
Gov. Marks was here to-day, and
was thought by some to be 10 the field, but
he told Senator Porter that he was not
candidate. He returned home tonight. The
names oil The Hon. james D. Richardson and
Gen. james Palmer, of Murfreesboro, are
mentioned, as are also those Of C,I. John F.
House and w. C. Whitthorue. Judge
Shield, Of Est Tennessee, aud several
others are waiting for lighting to
strike them. Senator Harris, friends
are exceedingly hopeful tonight, and their
countenances show that they are suffering 10
uneaSiness. Sav1ge's friends are using every
means to prevent an election on the 6fst bal
lot. Tue Republicans will compliment
Alvin Hawkins with a solid vote, but
alter that it ia not known exactly for whom
they will vote. There was a considerable
boom started for B Ite after the inauguration,
and his friends are pressing his claims TO-
night. There is also a great deal of
ralk about Col. House. Since these booms
have started, Col. Savage's friends claim
that they can lock the convention with B ale
or House, and possibly defeat Harris. They
feel very much encouraged over this state of
feeling, but the Harris men are still hopeful
OF success.
