OFF THE TRACK-FIRE IL THE COUNTRY-TlIH
IRON FOR THE NEw-RTvER RAILROAD AND
THE BUSINESS ARRAXGENENTs-FERN
PRONOUNCED INSANE.
CORRESPONDENCE OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
JANUARY Is, 1883.
The down-train on the Danville and
New-Riyer railroad, while turning into q
curve yesterday morning, ran against a
large rock which had fallen upon the track.
The steam-chest was burst, and the engine,
tender, and boX-car were thrown from
the track. Nobody was hurt. The pas
sengers walked down to the New-Riyer
junction. and after awhile another engine
was sent up and all came through to town.
A storage-house used by MesSrs. Abbott
& Banes, leaf-dcalers, and containing TO-
bacco, corn. and farming implements, was
burned down Saturday night near keen's
Mill, about three miles from town. There
was no insurance on the farming lmple-
mentS; there was an insurance on the
house for $500, and OH the tobacco and corn
for the same amount. and it is estimated
that these amounts cover those losses.
Major Sutherin has purchased the iron
necessary for the track between Martins
vile and Patrick Courthouse, and Mr.. A.
b. Fortune. the contractor, who was to
have commenced work yesterday. was
making arrangements for that purpose last
week. Assurance is now doubly sure that
the road will be completed by the 1st OF
next January. The terms for the work
based on engineers estimates are satisiac-
tory all round, and all parties able 10 meet
their engagements.

Can the Democrats carry the whole
South aud forty-eight northern votes
They can only carry the whole South by
the aid of Republican allies. They have
lost Virginia through coalition OF Re-
pubIicans and Rea1justers. They cannot
regain il unless they can break UP that CO
aIihon.- WdSbingtoR Republican.
SO says General MnoNE's Washington
organ. How do the Democrats who voted
for CAMERON in 1881 like the prospect and
the retrospect? Was il their intention
TO turn this State over 20 the Republicans?
Did they suspect that they were breaking
up the solid South Of the Democrats, and
paving the way for the election OF Re-
publican President IN 1884?
The Republican, however, is simply
making capital for GoRHAM as candidate
for Secretary of the United States Senate.
II wishes TO convince some of the northern
Republican senator's, who are little OIL
ish because OF GORHAIs alliance with
MALONE, that that alliance was the result OF
astute policy on the part OF the contracting
parties, aud will result in the cleo
ton of II Republican President in
1894. How? Why the Democrats OF the
solid South are by alliances such as that
OF GoRHAM and MALONE to be induced to
make up for the detection from the Re-
publican party IN the northern States.' The
gain of Virginia and North Carolina is to
make up for the loss OF Ohio and Illinois.
But this scheme won't work-we mean
won't succeed either in Virginia or North
Carolina 1t may have a good effect upon
Mr.. GoEHAM's candidacy, and induce the
northern Republican senators to stand by
him sclidly; but it will not end in any
such fruition as the casting Of the vote OF
Virginia or North Carolina in 1884 for the
Republican nominee for President.

fire brigade arrived within half an hour,
but il was impossible to eXtlnguish the

critics OF the circus were oil destroyed.
The horses, running about Wildly, ln-
creased the confusion. The circus was

Another account says that 400 persons

The zee broke while the fire brigade
were crossing the river to Berditscheii,
thus preventing them from reaching the
fire more promptly. 1t is estimated that
30 men. 120 women, and 60 children lost
their lives. The victims include the colo
mel Of police and the ylce-president OF tue
Berditscheff Bour.e. The audience con-
sisted mainly of Jews.
Another account says that the hre was
caused by groom having thrown lighted
cigarette on straw in the stables, setting 1t
on fire. Another groom tried to stamp out
the fire, but a strong draught famed the
flames and caused them to spread. The
author OF the fire persisted, also two
clowns, who are believed TO have been
Englishmen. To-day a man whose wife
and three children were among the vic
tins stabbed a senior member OF the Mer-

to cut bis own throat. II is supposed that
the murdered man had abandoned his as
sailant's wife and children in order to effect
his own escape from the burning building.

PowHATAN COURTHOUSE,
January 10, 1883.
Duncan Ford. aged one hundred and
twenty years, died last week. He was a
colorcd man, and was emancipated under
thc provisions OF John and Jonathan Plea
sants's will, which emancipated upwards OF
a hundred slaves, who were to receive
their freedom after they each attained the
ape of thirty. This will was contested by
the heirs of Peasants. but was decided in
favor of the slaves by the Court OF Appeals,
whose decision Is reported in Calls Re-
ports.
From the fact that Duncan Ford was the
siaye of William Pope, OF Powhatan, the
nonogenarian Of the last century, at the time
he attained his age Of thirty, and that he
has remained on the land Of .Mr. Pope's
descendants ever since, his age Of one hum
dred and twenty years has been accurately
ascertained. lie remembered with dis
tinctness some OF the events OF the Reyo-
luton, particularly the raid OF Tarlton,
who. with his cavalry, stopped at Dunge-
ness, the residence OF Isham Randolph.

can died. in search OF Mr.. Jefferson. He
had been quite inlirm for a few years be-

faculties remarkably. The Board Of Super
visors OF Powhatan, making him an cXcep-
ton to their general rule, had just given
him an annual allowance outside OF the
poorhouse. He died quietly and rather
suddenly, surrounded by his children and
his great great grandchildren. ID.

Why should more hotels be burned at
this particular season of the year than at
any other? The descriptions of the scenes
in the frozen streets OF ST. Louis the Other
night remind one OF the similar scenes in
Richmond when the Spotswood Hotel was
burned.
Every hotel is an unfamiliar place TO its
guests. Every mans own experience away
from home in large hotels assures him OF
this fact. The proprietors find, however,
no difficulty in letting their guests know
oil the rules OF their houses. They print
these rules and post the cards containing
them in conspicuous positions in all the
rooms. On vessels which run on the ocean.
or even on our rivers, arc posted full
printed directions for the proper use OF the
ihe-preseryers TO be found on all such YES
sells. II is clear. therefore, that it would
be an easy matter for hotcl-proprietors to
have in full view in every room cards Civ
ing detailed information as to the modes OF
exit from their houses. The guest who
goes up TO the third. fourth, or fifth story
In an elevator is very apt to be totally 10
norant as to the other ways OF getting to
his room; and il he goes up by one, or
the principal, stairway, he is almost certain
10 be ignorant as TO any other way of get
ting down stairs. though almost every no.
tel has, aud every one should have, stair
ways leading in opposite directions down
to the lower story and out Of doors. There
cannot be too much information impaired
to the guests OF hotel on this subject.

Political Points.

| Governor Alexander II. Stephens's APP
proval OF the Joint resolution OF the Legis-
lature OF Georgia providing for life-size
portrait OF the late Senator Ben. III. Hill
read: "Without reference 10 the pream-
bic, the resolution is approved by me-"
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph appeals for
such widespread expression of popular
opinion in favor OF rigid registration law
as will convince the Legislature OF both the
propriety and necessity OF its enactment.
The election contests in progress in ten
counties in tie State, it says, constitute an
unanswernble argument in favor Of such a
law.
At least seven Of the Boston prominent
! clergymcn made Governor Butler the text
of their sermons on Sunday. Most OF them
condemned much Of his inaugural address,
and in some instances the Governor was
most bitterly denounced. Several preach
era presented statistics to show that the
Governors charges of mismanagement of
the States charitable institutions were
false, and nearly all charged him with gross
eXaggefation and Misrepresentation.
