A thrcc-ycar old boy ut Louisville
promises to be gray-hradcd before he
reaches his teens. The child has at-
tracted much attention from the neigh
bors. who say they never saw anything
of the kind before. Physicians say
that, even in families whcro turning
gray during youth is hereditary, thcy
have not known Of caso where the
popularity was exhibited in one so
young. The boy is healthy and live
ly littlo fellow, and his patriarchal con-
dition does not seem to annoy him in

day for the.exposition. Extensive preparations

invited to take part in the proceedings was JEFF
ferson Davis, who met the special train bearing
the bell at his home, Beauvoir Miss, and made
brief speech there A large number of citizens
of New Orleans and Philadelphia also met the

city, where the streets were lined with
people for miles. The car bearing

JEFF DAVIS AND STATE RIGHTS.
A Letter in Which He Affirms that He AL
ways Supported That Doctrine.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga controversy has
been carried on, recently, in the columns of the
National Republican, of this city, between Dr.
a. Y. p Garnett, who was jefferson Daviss
physician during the war, and Mr. Hdell, who,
during the same period, held the Office of pri
vate secretary to Alexander H. Stephens, touch
ing the adherence or non -adherepce of Davis
during the war to the doctrine of State rights.
Mr.. EIidell stated in communication to the Re-
publican that all of Daviss Cabinet oficers
well as Vicepresident Stephens, distrusted the
sincerity of Daviss adherence to the doctrine eff
State rights and were fully of the belief that
he (Davis) aimed at the supreme
dictatorship of the Confederacy. Mr.
Garnett replied denying the statements of
Hidell, and finally announced his intention
Of writing Mr.. Davis on the matter. He did
write Davis, and now furnishes the Republican
with an autograph letter on the subject from that
gentleman, of which the following is copy:
''BEAUvoIR, Miss, Jan. %, 1885.
'Dr. A. Y P. Garnett:
my Dear Sir-Yours Of the 18th inst has
this day been received and to your inquiry l re-
ply that, though it is not in my power to re-
cite the language employed in response
10 you and others who urged me
TO Send confederate troops into kentucky,
TO prevent the federal government from intim-
ldating the Legislature and the people of that
State BY military occupation, and thus to pre-
vent Kentucky from passing an ordinance of
secession do well remember that to you, as to
others. L-anSwered. substantially. that would
not do such Violence to the rights of State.
No one could have felt deeper interest or more
affechonate regard for Kentucky than l did,
and it may well be that 1 did not believe
the people of Kentucky, State especially
distinguished in the early period of her history
for the assertion of State rights and State RENE
dies, could be driven from the maintenance of
that creed, whicb ever had been her point of
pride. My answer, as correctly stated by you,
showsthat my decision not based on expedl-
ency; and however reluctant may have been to
reject the advice of yourself and other friends
in whose judgment and sincerity had complete
confidence, would not. for all the considerations
involved, disregard the limitations of our Con-
stitution and violate the cardinal principle which
bad been the guiding star of my political life.
''With grateful remembrance of your kind
hess in years gone by. and admiration for your
manly fidelity in times of seyerest trials,
Il am ever truly your friend,

Parnell Makes Speech but Says Nothing as
to the London Outrages.
Cork, Jan. 26-Mr- Parnell arrived at Mil
town to-day, and turned the first rod of the
West Clare railway, about to be constructed.
An immense assemblage of people, not less than
10000 was present Mr.. Parnell was pre-
sented with a miniature golden spade in
honor of the occasion. In accepting the emblem,
Parnell made brief address. He made no allu-
sion to the dynamite outrages in London, but
confined himself to questions affecting the farm
ers and peasants in the south and west of Ire
land. He said the enactment of the Irish
land act, although a progressive step,
was not by any means final
settlement of the Irish land question, and that
measures must be taken to provide more ade-
quate support for the families evcted from their
homes at the whims of landlords. He reaf-
frmed his devotion to the cause of Irish inde-
pendence, and expressed his belief that the
cause was nearing a triumph. His address was
received with great enthusiasm,

THE FIRE RECORD.
Timely Discovery of Blaze In the Capitol
Building at Washington.

Timely Discovery of Blaze in the Capitol
Building at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Fire was discovered
this morning in q lot of books and records stored
under the roof of the House of Representatives.
The fremen cut away the wood and soon extin-
guishei the fire, which was confined to space
less than twenty feet square The damage is
triling. The fire, it is supposed, was started by
the electric wires used in lighting the hall.
The first intimaton that fire was in progress
was few large sparks which were seen to
fall upon the floor of the House from the roof
above, which in moment increased to quite a
shower. The few representatives in the hall
and the officers and pages rushed for the doors,
and for moment they seemed to expect an ex-
plosion and see a repetition of Saturdays scene
IN the British Houses of Parliament There
was no water ard no way of getting at the fra,
except up the steps OF narrow
iron staircase running three stories,
upon which two men cannot pass
each other. After some delay. however. buckets
Of water were passed up, and what came danger
Ously near being serious conhagration was
averted.
In the room in which the fire was confined were
stored the records of the first session of Congress-
with all the original reports of committees. the
proceedings of the House and the reports Of the
various heads of departments. including some
valuable reports dated 1890. The close proxm-
itY of tie fire TO these volumes rendered it al
most miraculous that they were not burned
They could never have been replaced, and their
loss would have been great misfortune. Mem
bers of Congress expressed surprise and uneasi-
ness that there should be such lack of means
for extinguishipg fire breaking out in this way
The fire is supposed to have been started by
electricity, as number of wires used in lighting
the hall pass the point where the fire began.

A CRY OF '''Fa0Du
ExpIOsiysIy Rounding the Mouths
Of Several Republicans
Over the Returns from Randolph cOuny---
The Returns Promptly to Hand
and Not Sent For, as
Alleged.

There were two principal topics Of con-
yersation about the Capitol and the hotel
Hobbies, wherever members Of the Legisla-
ture assembled, yesterday. They were the
amendment to the constitutional amend
ment proposed, and the vote Of Randolph,
the former demanding the earnest and the
latter the excited attention of many Of the
members The Republicans we're especially
excited over the fact that Wilson's majority
exceeded 5000 and many Republican
mouths were explosively rounded, as they
shot out the word "frod," with true Republi-
can vehemence.
It viii be remembered all calculations
on the majority placed it at about 1880 or
Whereabouts, and it was the increased vote
of Randolph county that ran the figure up
and created the talk and even prompted a
resolution on the subject Through the
morning several Republican members and
Senators were running excitedly about with
their heads mysteriously together, and it
ended with Senator Dawson's resolution, as
will be seen in our Senate report. Some
of this was caused by a glaring and prob
ably wilful .misstatement in the Intelligen-
Ger, which shot off into double leads as
follows
1.-THE highest estimate made at the State
House never reached 5000. The official
returns in Randolph we're sent for three
times by Governor jackson, and it is fact
that they were not received until after the
November returns from that county werein
The vote as now announced may be the
honestly determined result OF the balloting
in Randolph county, but from all the cir
cumstances it is not violent supposition
that the returns from Randolph have been
tempered with to save Democrats who bet
on 5000 majority. Governor elect Wilson
seemed to have had prophetic vision"
1.-THE Inteligencer had informed itself,
it would have known the returns on State
officers reached the State House on Oct &c,
having been mailed on Oct. "a and were
never written for, by the Governor. A
letter was sent for the returns for Senator
and member of the House, but as both OF
these happen to be Republicans the Intelli-
gencer of course does not refer to them.
When Gov. Wilson made his statement the
returns had long been in possession ofthe
Secretary of the State, as required by law
and Gov. Wilson's statement was, perhaps
only backed by information direct from
Randolph, matter the Intelhgencer would
never have obtained The Intelligencer
also sent this same falsehood broadcast over
the country and has such papers as the
Pittsburg Dispatch proclaiming the fact
that Governor Jackson wrote repeatedly
for these returns" and they "were evidently
tempered with"
Everybody will admit the return is a sin
gular one, for it appears nearly three hun
dred more votes were cast for Governor
than for any other Office, but that the re-
turns were detained, or tempered with, is
denounced by the Democratic members as
an outrageous lie.

THE GALE.
Two houses Partially Demolished
Last Night.
The Marrow Escape Of the Occupants FrGm
Receiving Any Iniuries---The
Debris Completely Block
ades the Street.

About II o'clock last evening terrific
wind storm struck this city, sweeping signs,
trees, ETC., out Of Its path. At this writing
az o'clock) the most disastrous news gath
cred was the unroo6ng ofMr. John Prachts
residence, thseestory brick, situated on
the east aide of Main street. between TWEEN
ty-second and Twenty-third streets, and the
demolishing of Howelfs marble shop, just
south Of TWenty-second, on Main street.
A REGIsrEs reporter hearing of the disaster
Immediately after it happened, hast
ened to the scene. The walk
down Main street was anything but pleasant;
the heavy pufs Of wind would every few
moments cause sign or shntter to play
fully pass in front Of the report and land in
a shattered condition in the middle of the
street. Finally the neighborhood of Mr.
Prachts residence was reached, and the
debris was sirewed entirely across the
street, completely blockading it. An ex-
animation showed that while the roof and q
portion of the front wall of the house was
blown of, the balance of the building was
perfectly intact. Mr.. Pracht and family
were found in their bakery room, and could
give no very clear idea as to how the affair
took place, other than that they were all in
bed, and were awakened by feeling their
beds rocking to and fro; suddenly loud
crash was heard and the plaster on the
ceiling began falling, this completely fright
ened the occupants and they rushed to the
lower story. Fortunately none Of the
family were injured BY the disaster.
The position occupied by the
debris in the street showed that the roof
had been lifted off and dashed into the
street.
Almost Immediately across the street is
situated the marble works Of Mr.. Howell
This place was completely Quilted BY the
second portion Of the gale.
No one can give anything like a correct
statement of the amount of damages sus
tanned to the two house owing principally
to the darkness of the night.
At the Western Union Office many wires
are reported down, and telegraphic comma
nication largely interfered with. The Tele
phone Exchange reports its business crippled
BY the wires down.
