GREAT FIRE.

Savannah, Ga, April 6.-Shortly be-
fore 7 O'Clock tonight a fire was dis
covered in the large dry goods estSb-
lishment Of ID. II. Hogan, corner Of
Broughtou and Barnard streets. The
fire originated from a gas jet in one Of
the show windows. and spread with
lightning rapidity. The flames were
accelerated by high wind, and in
short time the entire structure was in
blaze. Many of the employees had
very narrow escapes, but all of them
succeeded in gaining the street in
safety.
The flames communicated to Odd
Fellows Hall adjoining four-story
brick structure, aud in a short while it
was totally destroyed, The Young
Mems Christian Association had quar-
tiers in the building, and the ground
floor was occupied by several stores
A brick dwelling just west of the
Odd Fellows Hall was partly burned.
The fire burned twelve TO fifteen
dwellings, the first of which was
located on the corner of Barnard and
State streets.
Sparks from tho fire were blown by
the high wind on to the stecple of the
Independent Presbyterian church,
corner of Bull and South Broad streets,
half dozen blocks away. The church
caught fire, and, together with the
Sunday-school building and five or six
dwellings adjoining, was burned to the
ground. The firemen were busily en-
gagged at the where il lirst..started, and
could render no aid in saving The
church.
The fire also communicated TO Han
ley's paint store, a large four-story
building, the new brick arsenal Of The
Savannah Guards, and a dozen wooder
dwellings, all Of which were burned
The fire is still spreading and there i
no telling where it will be checked
The fire department seems to be help
less. Aid has been asked from
Charleston. Augusta and Macon.
Sparks from the burning building
are being carried to distance by th
wind, and fires have broke out |
remote places. The total loss up t
the present will not be much less tha

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

ing tAe terrible gale and prarie fires of
the past few days the train from the
East had terrible experience two
miles east of Mount Vernon. A de-
struetiye prairie fire was raging at
that point and the dust and smoke
made the surroundings as dark as
night. The engineer plunged the train
into the darkness and the first thing
he knew he found the ties on fire for
nearly mile ahead. lie checked the
train, fearing to advance lest he should
find no track ahead of him. and there.
in the suffoeating smoke and scorching
heat, with blazing ties underneath the
train and flames on each side of the
track, the crew sought to extinguish
the fire s-d save the train. The pas
sengers became excited and pleaded
to be released from the death by fire
or suflocation that seemed so near at
hand. Children cried from pain and
gasped for fresh air, and strong men
became desperate and left the train to
fight the flames, only to return to the
coaches exhausted.
For time escape looked impossible,
and several of the passengers gave up
several ladies prayed aloud and some
ofthe male passengers swore at the
obtuseness of the engineer for going
into that hell of fire and smoke so far
that he could not return, while on all

day the Colonel of the Sixty.second
Regiment of the line shot himself in
Hungary. But one of tho most extra
ordinary cases of suicide ON military
record Is now reported from Klausen-
burg. Lieut.. Mangesius, one of the
most popular officers of the garrison,
proceeded on Saturday to the barracks,
where his company was quartered,
and was observed to be absent-mind-
cd and depressed. lie went into q
room where number of the new
magazine rifles were kept, and loaded
one of them with bullet. lie then
called in two men. Addressing one of
them, he said, "Take this rifle and LEI

at my left eye" The soldier had no
idea the weapon was loaded. and,
obeying the words of command, "Makc

ed the rifle at a distance of 3 yards
into the officers eye. The bullet went
through bis skull, and death was, of
course, instant aneous. He left letter

Especial Dispatch to Globe Democrat
San Francisco, Cal, March 26.-I'he
Pckin Gazette, which came IN last
night by steamer, gives n horrible
story from the Official report Of the
Governor of Yunnan of the burning
to death Of farmer of that province
for stealing an ear of corn. It seems
that during the Yunnan rebellion u
law was passed making theft of corn
fruits in the field an oflense punishable
by burning to death. The victims
relatives were requiring to sign doc
ument declaring they agreed to the
penalty, and were forced to light the
fire to bar them from bringing dam
age suit. This horrible practice the
authorities have tried to extirpate,
but vainly. A few months ago,
in harvest time, farmer named Pong
Chao Sheng, while going to watch his
field plucked an ear Of corn from a
neighbor's field. lie was seen and be-
ing shouted at dropped the corn. The
matter was referred to the owner of
the field, and be, with his tenant, seiz-
cd Peng and demanded the death pen
atty. Peng's mother offered TO make
restitution by forfeiiing all her proper
ty, but this was refused. She was
forced to give her written consent un-
der threats Of death, and was actually
made to light the heap of brushwood
and witness the terrible dying agonies
of her son. As soon as she could
escape she reported the crime to the
authorities. The two men were arrest
cd and tried. The landlord was pun
ished by the lingering process-tbat is,
his flesh was hacked with knives until
he slowly expired in awful torment,
the farmer, who lost the ear of corn,
being beheaded There is no question
of these facts, as the report is official.

A SAD CASE.

Tho Nashville American thus refers
to the peculiarities of o distinguished
omphisjournalist Col Heating of
the Memphis Appeal has been gradual
ly growing worse for the last few
months. His mind is more beset with
all manner of vagaries than that ofany
sane person we ever knew. lie seems
to naturally take TO things that are
cranky and absurd, and espouses the
cause Of every new piece of lunaticism
that bobs up with fanatical zeal and
a perverted ingenuity Of argument
which one cannot help adnliring, even
while pity for the wreck of luminous
mind stirs his breast. 1t is a strange
fate TO overtake a man of such mental
vigor as Col. Keathing that he should
come to fall in love with every fool
idea that shows It's stupid mug and
lavish all the wealth of his trained and
well-stored mind upon the crochets Of
cranks and the absurd conceits of dis
eased iutellccts. The infatuated Tita-
MIA kissing the ears ofthe transformed
Bottom, cut no such ridiculous figure
as docs the gentle, the learned and the
cultured Heating wasting his caresses
upon follies which are for the laughter
of all mankind. After hanging upon
the ragged edge of the woman suffrage
lunacy for some time, Col Keating has
gone clean over aud is now a gradual
ed and diplomaed pupil of Col. Susan
B. Anthony. We scorn the insinuation
that this move of Col. Heating is in
spired by consciousness of his inn
mense popularity and Irresistible ways
with the female woman and desire
to utilize his qualities as masher for
own political advancement. Neither
do we indulge the sneer that the colo
nel's hard luck with the tyrant man, as
a sovereign and a voter, has caused
him to seek recruits in another direc-
ton. Blistered be the tongue that
would impute aught selfish or un-
worthy to the gallant, the brilliant,
the highsoulded anJ pure-minded edi-
tor Of the Memphis Appeal. Col.
keating is simply off his ca-zip. The
light of his great intellect burns with
fitful and unsteady light and his walk
is therefore wild and irregular like un-
TO that of a man who has contemplated
the beer when It was amber and tarricd
with the liquor when it was rcd. His
mind is a mighty oak, grand and ma
iestic still, but shaken and twisted by
the storm, with all its magnificent dif-
fusion of branch and foliage quiycr-
ing as it leans and totters in the breeze.
Ii is one of the saddest cases ofmen-
tai wreck that we have ever known,
and one cannot help exclaiming as he
contemplates the magnificent ruin;
