A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Narrow Escape of Capt. Jeffords and
Family from their Burning Residence.

Narrow Escape of Capt. Jefords and
Family from theirBurning Residence.
a fire occurred here during last
Monday morning which entailed con-
siderable loss of property, and came
very near resulting in the loss Of
several lives. The alarm OF fire was
sounded at 2 o'clock that morning and
it was very soon ascertained that the
large two-story dwelling near the rail-
road, and occupied by Capt. It. a.
Jetfords, with his family and other
friends, was enveioped in flames. AL
the members of the family with the eX-
ception of Mr.. w. G. Albergotti and a
little lad, occupied rooms in the second
story Of the building. Mr.. W. Z. AL
bergotti, who with the lad, occupied q
room on the first floor, was aroused by
the cracking Of flames, and being sick,
sent the lad who was sleeping with
him I'D stairs to awake the family and
aprize them of the fact that the house
was on fire. The fire made rapid pro-
gress about the stairs, under which it
had originated. After the family up
stairs were aroused it was found i'm
possible for them to escape by the
stairway, as the fire had completely en-
veloped it by this time. On the upper
floor were Capt. Jeffords, Mayor J. S.
Albergotti, Mrs Jeffords, Miss S. R.
Albergotti, Mrs. Susan Albergotti, Mr..
Theodore Jeffords and seven small
children, all of whom were now COM
pletely cut off by the flames, and had to
be rescued by means of a ladder, which
was put in position by Messrs. w. G.
Albergotti, j. #. Butler and James G.
Dickson. Up to this time but few
people had reached the scence of the
fire. and it required the utmost cool
ness ant. the greatest eXertion to rescue
the inmates from their perilous condi-
tion. This, however, was done by the
almost superhuman efforts OF the
gentlemen present. Capt. Jeffords re-
lnained at the head Of the ladder until
every member OF the family had been
safely assisted to the ground. and, be-
ing almost wrapped in i sheet of flame,
had his hands severely burned. Not a
moments warning was given these
persons, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that they were enabled to
rush from their sleeping apartments
and make their escape in the manner
indicated. With the exception of a
few articles Of furniture on the first
floor, Capt. JefIords and his family lost
everything. lie had no insurance.
Miss Rebecca S. Albergotti, the princi-
pal of the academy for young ladies, lost
everything she possessed except her
watch, which she took from her pillow
as she left the burning room. Mrs.
Susan E. Albergotti, principal OF the
public school here, and Messrs. W. &.
and J. G. Albergotti lost everything
they owned. Other members of the
family lost heavily, and no member of
the household succeeded in saving
eve.- {. suit of clothes. Their loss is
complete, and the family is temporarily
in destitution. The building, which
belonged to the estate of kuck, Of
Charleston, is insured. The amount
could not lie ascertained. Outside of
this there was no insurance. The foss
will, in all probability, reach $1,000.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.

TEN NEW LOCOMOTIVES.
The Sout1r Carolina Railway Keeping up
with the Times.

with the Times.
The motive power of the South Caro-
lima Railway Company has been in
creased by the addition Of ten new To-
comotives which have just been re-
ceived from the Baldwin Works. The
engines were built according to the
specifications of the company, and are
frSt-claSs in every respect, embracing
all the latest improvements for Secur-
ing speed and power. They have all
been placed in the company's Round
house on Spring street, where they are
being put together.
Four of the locomotives, numbers l3,
II, 15 and 16, are fast passenger engines
and will be used to pull the fast mail
and passenger trains on the Columbia
and Augusta divisions Of the road.
They are built especially for speed, and
will, it is said, make as high as sixty
miles an hour if necessary, as they are
provided with Is by 24-inch cylinders
and driving wheels 5 feet 8 inches in
diameter.
Two excursion engines have also
been brought out for use in front of
heavy excursion trains or fast freight
trains. They are built with II by "a
ilch cylinders and 5-foot driving
Wheels The other four new locomo-
tives are regular freight engines with
II by 24-inch cylinders and 44-lnch
driving wheels.
These locomotives are as fine Specl-
mems Of the "iron horse" as one could
wish to see, being made Of the very
best material and equipped with all the
latest Improvements, such as krupp
steel tires, double riveted boilers Of
Otis still 7-16 of an inch in thickness,
Westinghouse air brakes, and tenders
with wrought iron frames and tanks OF
5000 gallons capacity. The headlights
are made according to the Handland
patent, being so arranged as to show
the number Of the engine at night.
The new engines will all be tested as
soon as they have been put together.
and will be placed in service on the
road Immediately after if they are
found satisfactory. They will prove
valuable addition to the motive power
Of the road, rs ten of the old locOmO-
tives will be condemned on account of
being too small for the cOmpanys bust
ness. With the new locomotives, how
ever, the company will now have Il
total of forty-four engines, all of which
are in fine condition, the old ones
having been thoroughly overhauled
and repaired while being changed to
suit the narrow gauge. Nlr. L. j..
Cochrane. the master Of machinery, re-
ports that the rolling stock Of the road
is now in better condition than it has
/ been at any time since the opening Of
the road in 1S29.-News and Courier.

A RAsCAL.-We have received the
following enquiry concerning Rev. a.
J. Stokes, who at one time was the
pastor Of the colored Baptist Church
of our town. The letter is dated
Clarksville. Tenn, June 5, and reads as
follows: You will please do me a
favor by giving me the standing OF one
A. J. Stokes. who came here from your
State. and las married another woman
here. | heard that he had a wife and
child in your State. Is it so: We
hope some member Of Stokes church
here will send the necessary intorma-
tion to either Wm. Webster or II. w.
Smith, at Clarksville, Tenn. The ras-
cal ought to be punished.

Cowu1DED.-A correspondent writ
ing from Bamberg to the News and

in the neighborhood Of Hunters Chapel
over the cowhiding of Mr.. John Steed-
ley by Messrs. ". r. Connolly and \. l..
OFT. 1t seems that Steedley had been
circulating false and damaging reports
concerning Connelly's sister. In order
to obtain full satisfaction for the
offence Messrs. Connolly and OFT pur-
chased a $3.50 whalebone whip, waited
upon Mr.. Steedley and administered
about thirty lashes, wearing the whip
completely out 1t is said that Steedley
has become reconciled to his fate. since
calling upon trial justice and being
advised that in case a lawsuit was
entered against Messrs. Connolly and
OFT other punishment would probably
be inflicted for circulating reports
equally false and damaging concerning
other persons.

have been asked by our country friends
if there were any candidates in this
county for office at the ensuing cleo
tion. To speak upon our positive
knowledge, there are but few who
have announced their intentions so far,
but rumor says that "the woods are full
of them," and they are willing to take
any office they can get, no matter how
insignificant it may be. Probably a
month or two more will see them
showing themselves on every side-at
least just as soon as they find that the

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Latest Regarding the Movements of the
 Troops and Hostiles.

Nothing new has been received to-da, at this hour--II p. m.--regarding tho Indian warfare situation.
 A representative of the EPlTAPH, wfo | came along the line of the Sonora rail road to-day, makes the following repor regarding the movement of troops ano reports of the whereabouts ofthe hostiles
 "The report that Indians crossed the railroad three miles south of Calabasas is untrue.
 "No Indians have been seen in the Santa Ritas since the killing of Mir. Wimple,
 "The report that Indians are in the vicinity of Crittenden is incorrect.
 "The Indians are not at present in the Cananea nor the Pintas mountains. They have evidently either gone south or in the Huacomeas range of mountains, in the Altar district.
 Captain Lawton's battalion, which was few days ago skirmishing along the Santa Cruz valley, was expected to return to Calabasas yesterday morning.
 "There was guard of about twenty colored cavalry and twenty-five infantry nnder Lieut. Johnson, left at Calabasas.
 Captain Hatfield, with D troop 4th cavalry, arrived in Crittenden last night and Jeff early yesterday morning to scou, through the Santa Rllas. His horses were terribly iaded, bu, the men were iull of vigor and vim.
 Captain witt, L troop 10th cavalry. colored, IS now in the Whetstones.
 "The suppositon in military circles is that the hostiles are m three partles: One near Promontory Peak, near Tuna c icara Mission; one below the Pinitas mountains, and one near the Haca' meas"

Almost a Tragedy.

Considerable excitement was caused in town yesterday morning, by the news that four men had been overcome by foul air in the Grand Central mine. l. appears that Charles Leach, foreman, William Bishop, shit boss, Lou Ander. son, boss carpenter and Mir. Taylor as. sayer, went into the mine, by what is known as the Garrison stope. Mir. Leach was ahead and on reaching the 300 level, by the Cane stope, he remark ed, "Boys, we've gone far enough" MT. Taylor, who was about fifteen feet be- hind him, staggered and fell, when Messrs Bishop and Anderson hurried to the surface for assistance, which was quickly forthcoming. The men had to be hoisted up by rope. They are now resting quietly, Mir. Taylor being the worst hurt of the four. Much credit is due to the miners for the prompt as- sistance they rendered their imprisoned comrades.
 Dr. Goodfellow had been telegraphed for and reached the spot few minutes after Anderson and Bishop came to the surface. He immediately descended in to the mine with the shift boss McCloud and Herbert Gage. Two miners named Hume and Gregovich, who were totally unfamiliar with the mine, had received hurried description of the place where the men were from Anderson and Bish- op and had preceded this party, sue. ceeding after considerable search in the lower levels in firding the unconscious victims. To their great bravery and devotion Mr. Taylor may be said to )we his life.
