The Ministeriai proression.

Discussing the scarcity of Presbyterian
ministers, and the dinlculty experienced by
the Presbyterian Board OF Ministerial Re.
lief, the New York Post makes these sugges-
tions:
1t appears that an attempt is now to be made
to attack tho evil of ministerial scarcity
nearer to Its source by the formation OF new
board, which 10 to devote Itself to looking after
for the ministry-which means, we suppose,
that It is to seek actively for recruits for the
ministry, instead OF waiting for them to be
attracted by the Inducements now held out
by theological seminaries. Those who are
about to engage in any such work would do
we'll to read President Elliots article
on the training OF ministers In the
last number of the Princeton Reuiep. 1t con-
tains very valuable aud impressive
warning against the policy OF bribing
young men to enter the ministry by
any peculiar Inducements of any kind, such
as free education or free boarding and lodg-
ing. Apart altogether from the question
whether 1t is well for any man to choose the
ministry as his calling under external sugges-
tion or pressure, or, in fact, IN obedience to
any motive except his own strong sense of flt-
mess, the effect OF system in any degree elee-
youths who are OF but little value in any call
ing, and in repelling the strong and energetic,
has to be seriously considered. No young
man who is worth much likes TO begin his
career In f0'7nd pdupeIis. There never was a
time when weak mon were Nss fitted for the

never has been time when minister's sue.

Suit Against the District.

Messrs. Henkle and Duhamel, as attor-

suit, on the law side of the court, against
the District of Columbia, claiming $4,000
damages. The declaration sets forth that
on January G, 1882, the District allowed the
footway on the north side of Market Space,
between Seventh and Eighth streets to re-
main covered with snow and ice, on which
she fell and injured her hip. She was con-
fined to her bed for two months and after
ward compelled to walk with crutches.
Chronic inflammation resulted from the i'll
jury, and she was again confined to her bed
during last February, March and April
and by reason of the injury her health has
been greatly impaired, and she has been
discharged from Government employ, at q
salary Of 1900 per annum, because of alb
sence from her position on account Of sick

First Reportcd-Five Brave Fire.
men Killed.
The loss Of property by the Lynchburg
fire yesterday was not so great as at first
reported. The actual loss reported this
morning is 100000, on which there is an
insurance of $9l 900. The fire was caused
by carelessness. 1t appears that clerk Of
Jones, Watts & Co. was sent down into the
cellar after some article and lighted piece
of paper, which he thoughtlessly threw
upon the floor near barrel of oil. The
liquid ignited, and in few minutes the
whole building an immense ir0n-front
structure, was in flames. The fire burned
with such rapidity that not book or pa
per could be saved and several of the clerks
found it difficult to escape from the burn
ing building.
After the fire was under control six men
took hose into the ruins of the Trginian
building to play upon the embers. They
had been there but a short while when the
walls were seen to tremble, and before the
men could regain the street five of them
were completely buried beneath the pom
derous weight. The sixth man was
knocked down, but escaped without serious
injury. Not less than five thousand spec
tators witnessed the terrible catastrophe.
The names Of the men killed are
Halsey Gouldman, policeman and ex-
fireman Captain W. Il. Moore,
conductor on the Norfolk & Western
Railroad; james Clemens, employed at
PAGES warehouse; James Vaughan, timer,
and Felix Beldelvre, bartender. Their
mangled bodies were recovered and re-
moved to their homes yesterday evening.
All the military companies, white and col.
ored, were ordered out, and are parading
the streets Immense crowds surrounded
the scene and the whole city was enveloped
in gloom. The City Council held a meet
ing last night and passed resolutions of re-
spect TO the memory of the men killed. aud
called on the citizens to suspend business
and attend the funeral to-day. The funeral
takes place at the Opera House. The coun-
Gil also appropriated an amount sufficient
for the erection of monument over the
graves of the men.

THE FAMOUS FLAG prspAroH.


How General Dix Came 20 Issue the
Order which Has Bccome Bis.
forfcaf.
One of the most interesting features in
tho biography of Rev. Morgan Dix of his
father, the late General Dix, is the follow
ing account of tho order which made him
famous. The history of the famous dis
patch referring to the American flag was
twice written by General Dix. One account
has been published in the edition of his
speeches. The other, in the form of q let
ter to Mrs. William Il. Blodgett, of New
York. is here printed for the first time.
The following is an extract from this letter:
received from mr.. Jones, on the Doth Of
January, tho dispatch published on page 40,
volume 2, of my speeches, advising me that
Captain Breshwood, of the revenue cutter Nc.
Cleliand, refused to obey my order. Il was
and was at the Department, as usual, trans,
acting business. Tho moment l read 1t
wrote the following order:
Breshwood, assume command OF the cutter.
and obey the order gave through you. II
Captain Breshwood, after arrest, undertakes
tell Lieutenant CALDWELL to consider him as q
mutineer and treat him accordingly. II any
one attempts to haul down the American nag,
s'JoHN A. DIX,
s'Secretary OF tho Treasury"
Not word was altered; but the original
was handed to the clerk charged with the Gus
tody Of my telegraphic dispatches, copied by
him, and the copy signed by me and sent to
Its destination. said nothing to the
President in regard to 1t. though hc was with
me every evening until Friday, when the
members OF the Cabinet were all assembled,
and the President was about TO call our atten-
tion to the business of the day. said to him !:
"Mr. President, fear we have lost some of
our revenue cutters" "Ah?' said he, show Is
that?" then told him what had occurred
down to the receipt of the dispatch from Mr..
Jones informing me that Captain Breshwood
refused to obey my order. "Well," said he,
''what did you doP' I then repeated to him
slowly and distinctly the order I
had sent. When came to tho words, "Shoot
him on the spot" he started suddenly, and
said with good deal OF emotion, "Did you
write that 2" "No, sir" said, 81 did not write
1t, but photographed It," He made no answer;
nor do remember that he ever referred to 1t
afterward. 1t was manifest, as had presup-
posed, that the order would never have been
given II had consulted him. 1t only remains
for me to say that the order was not the result
OF any premeditatlon, scarcely Of any thought.
A conviction of the right course to be taken
was an instantaneous as a flash of light.
1t touched the public mind and heart
strongly, no doubt, because the blood of all
patriotic men were boiling with Indignation
at the humiliation which we were enduring.
